Dating feels different when you’re queer — and it’s not just you.

In this kickoff episode of Hot Air’s February dating series, Joshua Robert dives into the psychology behind LGBTQ+ relationships, why so many of us feel “behind” in love, how gay dating apps can mess with our self-worth, and why queer adults often experience a wild, liberating “second puberty” when it comes to sex.

If you’ve ever wondered:
Why does dating feel harder for me than straight friends?
Why do the apps feel exhausting?
Why do I want connection but keep ending up in situationships?
Or why did I suddenly get way more confident and sexual in my late 20s and 30s?

This episode breaks it all down with honesty, humor, and real tools to help you date with intention instead of anxiety.

We’re talking queer psychology, attachment styles, hookup culture, emotional safety, and how to stay true to yourself while navigating modern LGBTQ+ dating.
