In 2026, dating isn't just about "the spark"—it’s about diversification, risk assessment, and emotional ROI. Are you "holding" on a relationship that’s flatlining? Or are you "hedging" your bets by keeping three different rosters active just in case one crashes? 📉💖

In our latest episode of 21st Century Dating Decoded, we’re breaking down why modern romance feels more like a high-stakes trading floor than a fairytale.

• The "Benchwarmer" Strategy: Why we keep backups to mitigate heartbreak.
• Emotional Inflation: How the abundance of choice is devaluing deep connections.
• Portfolio Management vs. Presence: Learning to stop treating people like assets and start treating them like partners.

It’s time to stop checking the "market value" of your partner and start investing in what matters.
