## Resource

Relationship expert, author, and Breakup Bootcamp founder Amy Chan is back, and this time she's talking dating - not just breaking up. Her new book Un-Single: How to Date Smarter and Create Love That Lasts (out April 28th) is packed with research-backed frameworks for finding the right person, and today we dig into all of it: the mathematical "secretary problem" applied to dating, why your list of standards might actually be a list of fears, and the chemical reason your butterflies disappear around the 18-month mark. Plus, we talk about real celebrity breakups - Taylor Swift & Calvin Harris, Dakota Johnson & Chris Martin - as case studies to unpack all of this.
