Today Sarah is talking to Dr. Liesel Sharabi, an associate professor in the Hugh Downs School of Human Communication and Director of the Relationships & Technology Lab at Arizona State University and co-founder of The Modern Love Collective. Dr. Sharabi shares how young daters are navigating dating in the technology era, the best approach to looking for a partner, and steps to take when you're single and what to get back out there. She analyzes the finds of the Hily Dating App T.R.U.T.H Report, and explains why we can be our own worst enemies when looking for a partner, the stress we endure if we start worrying about what our friends and family think of the people we date, and why physical attraction isn't the best predictor of long-term relationship success.
