Dating with ADHD can bring its own set of challenges, but it also offers unique strengths.

In this week’s episode, I speak with licensed marriage and family therapist Moe Arie Brown, Hinge's love and connection expert, to unpack the intersection of ADHD and modern dating. Moe also serves as a diversity & equity consultant and on the board of directors for It Gets Better Project, a non-profit organisation dedicated to uplifting and connecting LGBTQIA+ youth around the globe.

What You’ll Learn:

✨ Why dating apps can feel overwhelming for individuals with ADHD.

✨ Practical strategies for communicating more effectively and reducing dating anxiety.

✨ How to embrace your ADHD traits as strengths while understanding the impact of RSD on building meaningful connections.

✨ How an all-or-nothing mindset can lead to intense emotions followed by boredom and how to navigate these feelings effectively.

✨ Insights from Hinge's Love and ADHD Date Report on neurodivergent dating experiences.

✨ The importance of self-awareness, boundary-setting, and authenticity in dating.

If you’ve ever felt drained by small talk or struggled with the fast-paced nature of online dating, this episode is packed with practical tips and advice. Learn how understanding your ADHD can help you navigate the dating world with confidence and compassion, leading to deeper connections and more fulfilling relationships.

My key takeaway was that with our ADHD awareness, communicating our needs clearly can significantly enhance our dating and relationship experiences.
