Katie chats with Jillian Romero Chaves, the founder of Clara for Daters - an app that helps singles track their dates and make better choices when dating. We track a lot of things in life we want to improve or make progress on so why not track your dating journey? Jillian shares her own dating experiences and how tracking her dates on her own app has helped her learn more about herself and the type of person she is looking for. Tune in to learn how to navigate the modern dating world with more self-awareness and positivity. Tickets to July's Blind Dating LIVE show KEY TAKEAWAYS  Clara for Daters helps users track dates by asking helpful post-date questions, enabling them to make better choices in the early stages of dating. Tracking dates helps daters stay accountable, recognise patterns, and focus on qualities that matter in a potential partner. Multi-dating, or going on dates with multiple people, can help anxious attachment styles by preventing fixation on one person and encouraging a slower pace. The data from Clara confirms that conversion rates from dating app matches to in-person dates are low Focusing on enjoying individual connections and learning from each date brings you closer to finding the right partner, rather than fixating on the end goal. BEST MOMENTS "Dating intentionally means going on dates. If you can be on the apps and saying you're dating intentionally and never go on a date, that's not dating intentionally." "Don't focus on that big end goal. Just focus on those connections in the moment and it'll get closer." "I feel like that's what you learn the more you multidate - you have these conversations, then you're like, okay, now I feel comfortable to have it again if it came up." "It's important that we have that safe space to reflect by ourselves. It's important." "The whole idea is we're trying to make dating fun again. It is tough and you can't sugar coat it, but you can do things as tools like Clara to help get better."

I started Single Sounds to create a new fun method of dating as I felt that there is now little variety with how to meet people. I absolutely love podcasts and believe in the strong sense of self you can get from them so I thought it was perfect for a dating medium. As I like to say this podcast is for people who have too much personality for a dating app. Katie McNamara: https://www.instagram.com/katiee.mcnamara/   CONTACT METHOD - Linktree - https://linktr.ee/singlesounds  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/singlesounds/  singlesoundspodcast@gmail.com   Learn more about your ad choices.
