Dating apps suck for everyone, but it sucks even worse if you're introverted and socially anxious. So what is one to do when the idea of getting dressed up, going out and talking to someone for hours at a bar or restaurant sounds worse than a root canal?? Jinah and Daniel talk to writer and relationship coach Cain Parish (cainparish.com, @cainparish), who is on a mission to make dating better for everyone, but especially introverts. Cain was the definition of a low social battery introvert. Interactions and relationships never came easy to him. He talks about how he overcame his challenges, and how he managed to successfully navigate the world of dating apps. Did we mention he's from Australia? Apparently dating apps suck Down Under too.

So you're about to delete your dating apps. Again. But then you realize - how am I gonna meet people then?? Before you panic and re-install your dating app, listen to our two professional matchmaker guests talk about what it's like to have someone literally working for you so you can go on curated dates. Hint: it ain't cheap!! Matchmaking is as old as civilization. From the days of highly prized matchmakers who knew just the right princess for the king-to-be, to glossy ads on airline magazines adverstising beautiful women for men with refined tastes and deep pockets, matching has now evolved. But does is still work in the DIY world of dating apps where the majority of people are looking for romance via swipes? We talk to 2 modern day matchmakers Gina Hendrix @matchmakerginahendrix and Anika Rashaun @nikarashaun

Not so long ago, it was pretty darn clear who was supposed to ask who out on the first date. Not anymore. In this Wild Wild West of app dating, the rules have gone out the window, resulting in confusion for some, resentment in others, and lack of courage and effort all the way around. We ask our guests Luis (@uonmobileapp) and Samantha (@skmcintosh) who should make the first move?
