And don't even get us started on the thousands of dating apps now available. So, the question is this: If you're single, how are you supposed to find the right person?
To discuss these very things and more, Gayle King sat down with actor and talk show host Drew Barrymore, cohost of The Bachelorette Tayshia Adams, and dating experts Matthew Hussey and Logan Ury. Each of them has a distinct perspective on what it takes to find love nowadays. Keep reading for a preview of their talk, then head to oprahdaily.com/datingroundtable to view the entire conversation.
Finding The One”
Gayle: Matthew, you're recently engaged. How did you know your fiancée was The One?
Matthew: It was the first time I didn't need to go and ask my friends' opinions. Asking my friends and family was always this sign that I was unsure. This was the first time I didn't need that validation. I was just excited to inform everyone that I had found my person.
It's Hard to Date!
Gayle: Logan, I want to start with you. In the past, you've said something that really resonated with me. You said love is natural, but dating is not. Why is dating so hard?
Logan: We are born knowing how to love anyone who has a kid knows this. So loving is not a new skill, but dating is. Dating started around 1890, and dating apps are only about 10 years old. As for why dating is so hard right now? One reason is that we have so many options-there's an overwhelming sense of choice.
Gayle: Drew, you're a household name. You walk down the street and people know you. Do you think dating is hard?
