Dare 2 Date Debbie Rivers

Love knows no distance, or does it? This week's podcast tackles the age-old question: can long-distance relationships work?

In the past, I might have given a more definitive answer, but love (and life!) is rarely black and white. So, whether you're currently single, coupled up, or a curious media type, tune in for some insightful tips on navigating a long-distance relationship, especially if your partner travels for work.



We'll be exploring:




My nuanced take on long-distance love (it's not all bad!)


Practical tips for making the miles melt away


Strategies for staying connected and keeping the spark alive.

So, grab your headphones and join me as we delve into the world of long-distance dating!

You know how we love a good shortcut, right? Relationship theories/tests on social media
are like that - bite-sized explanations for complex situations. They're catchy, relatable, and promise a quick fix for our love lives – which EVERYONE wants.
Plus, they spark conversation and debates, which keeps people scrolling and sharing.
But do they work and are they true? In my
opinion, they are fun but oversimplified. I see people taking advice from social media that they thought they understood but got it wrong – often people
don’t see what they are doing. There is some great advice on SM and some terrible advice out there. In this week's podcast, I talk about:




The Orange Peel Theory
The Ketchup Theory
The Doritos Theory

Are they fact or fiction?

Is reality TV a reflection of real-life dating? This week's episode dives deep into shows like Married at First Sight to expose the surprising truth: the drama you see on screen is often a mirror reflecting the challenges singles face every day.

We'll unveil why so many people (looking for love, not fame!) struggle to find lasting connections.

Here's what you'll learn:


The hidden baggage holding you back: Uncover the low self-esteem, unresolved past relationships, and emotional burdens that sabotage dating success, even if you're unaware of them.
From "Married at First Sight" to Married at First Mess: Discover why these seemingly perfect TV matches often fall apart, and how these same patterns play out in real life.
Beyond the Reality Show: How to Find Real Love: Move from "Married at First Mess" to a fulfilling relationship! We'll explore practical steps to overcome baggage, build healthy self-esteem, and attract the love you deserve.

Tune in and learn how to turn your dating life from reality TV drama into a real-life love story!
