#53 "What If Being Single Is Actually An Orientation?" -Paul, 49
07/05/24 • 14 min
What if being single wasn't about NOT having a relationship or even looking for one, but feeling like your truest, best self is expressed when you are single? With more and more people actively choosing to be single, this is a great question and topic for Later Daters to ponder. Listen in as Lakshmi discusses another group that is overlooked; people for whom their Later Dater years are THE best years for them to be in relationship.
This episode is a follow up to episode 50 where Paul, 49 asked about the pros and cons of staying single vs dating now as a Later Dater. Check out that episode here.
Lakshmi was named among the "Best Guests of 2023" on tech and culture podcast PIVOT with Kara Swisher & Scott Galloway. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/best-friends-of-pivot/id1073226719?i=1000639439067
