Dating Intentionally
Hosted by Dating Intentionally
Actionable advice for navigating the confusion of modern dating with more confidence and intention.
This is a practical dating advice podcast that blends solo, list-based episodes with expert interviews. Host Talia Koren focuses on the early stages of dating, providing listeners with frameworks ('green flags,' 'chalant dating') to assess potential partners and build confidence. The show emphasizes self-awareness and intentionality over chasing ambiguous 'sparks' or adhering to outdated rules.
“Unlike purely theoretical or anecdotal dating shows, Dating Intentionally provides concrete, memorable frameworks (like the '10 Green Flags') and a mix of solo deep dives and expert interviews. The host's concept of 'chalant dating' offers a specific antidote to the pervasive nonchalance in modern dating culture.”

What you'll be asked on this show
Talia opens interviews by asking for the guest's origin story, often exploring how their career path began. She skillfully connects their professional expertise to their personal life, for instance, by asking a dating coach how he met his own wife and navigated early feelings. The advice portion of the interview is often structured around specific listener questions, allowing for targeted, practical takeaways.
