Why do so many people end up in relationships that make them unhappy? And how do you spot the warning signs before you’ve wasted months, years, or even decades with the wrong person? In this episode of The Better With Brock Podcast, I sit down with dating coach and author Laura Forbes to talk about red flags, green flags, dating apps, cheating, modern relationships, and why so many people keep finding themselves attracted to the wrong partners. We unpack how to identify whether you’re dating an idiot, the green flags that actually matter, the challenges men and women face in today’s dating landscape, what women in their 30s and 40s need to know about relationships, and my unique “Vacation Test” that can reveal more about a partner in a few days than months of normal dating. We also discuss how to deal with cheating, whether dating is harder for men or women, and how Laura built a career helping women make better relationship decisions. Whether you’re single, dating, in a relationship, or simply want to avoid making costly mistakes with the wrong person, this episode is packed with practical advice and honest conversations about modern dating.
