Episode notes
In this episode of Dating in Amsterdam, we break down our latest first (and second) dates and discuss what really makes a potential partner stand out beyond surface-level attraction. Heidi recounts a chaotic picnic date featuring an unruly wolf-like dog and a surprisingly passive date who left her defend the fort. Meanwhile, Skyler shares her experience with a "lone wolf" who turned out to be a bit too uninspiring to spark real chemistry. Together, we explore attachment styles, conflict resolution on dates, the frustration of low-effort communication, and some desirable traits: like curiosity, open-mindedness, and self-awareness that turn a pretty face into a real connection.
What is a specific dating deal-breaker or green flag you'd like us to dive into in a future episode?
