Dating used to terrify me. I didn’t know what I wanted, I was scared of rejection, and honestly? I was scared of letting someone into my life. But somewhere along the way, I realized dating doesn’t have to be a chore — it can actually be fun.
In this episode of Love, Brie, I talk about how to bring joy, curiosity, and lightness back to dating without the pressure, burnout, or endless swiping. Based on my Substack essay, “Let’s Make Dating Fun Again,” I share what helped me shift from fear to fun when it came to love and connection.
I talk about:
✨ How to focus on the experience, not the outcome
✨ Why rejection isn’t personal (and how to handle it with grace)
✨ The importance of having a fulfilling life outside of dating
✨ Dating multiple people with integrity — and confidence
✨ Why believing in love makes all the difference
If you’ve been feeling jaded by modern dating or caught up in the “what ifs,” this episode is your permission slip to relax, let go of the rules, and enjoy the journey of dating again.
