Deconstructing Dating is a podcast where two matchmaker cousins invite hilarious guests to help them pick apart a common dating idea to determine whether it is a dating myth or a dating truth. Do you have to wait three days to contact someone after a date? Can you have too many dealbreakers? Is there always something better out there? Tiana, Marnie, and their fabulous guests will discuss the things we’ve been wondering about courtship since before dating apps existed and give real-life, actionable steps to navigate the modern dating world.
This week on Deconstructing Dating, Tiana and Marnie are joined by special guest Chris DeRosa to tackle one of the most controversial topics in modern romance: the must-have list. You know, that internal spreadsheet of non-negotiables we all pretend we don’t have—until someone shows up wearing crocs to a first date.
With a blend of personal stories, hard-won wisdom, solid professional insight, and just the right amount of oversharing, they break down what really matters in a relationship. Is it shared values? Emotional intelligence? Or just someone who doesn’t ghost after three dates and knows how to split an appetizer?
Chris also reveals his own must-haves, from family dynamics that won’t require therapy (yet), to friends who pass the vibe check, adaptability in social chaos, and yes—even ambition and generosity. Tune in for laughs, insights, and possibly a minor identity crisis.
