Sunday Funday: Economist Dating Advice

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, you may find yourself in need of sound dating/relationship advice.  Where is the most logical place to turn? An economist.  This edition of Sunday Funday features the Planet Money podcast and economist Tim Harford, who answered listeners love, relationship and dating questions.

Here is a  description of the episode:

Last week, we solicited your questions about dating, sex and love. This one came from 17-year-old, Arthur, who lives in Pittsburgh:

I am a senior in high school and I have never been on a date. Should I be worried about this? When I do finally meet someone, will I be hurt by my inexperience?

On today’s show, economist and author, Tim Harford, applies economic theory to Arthur’s question. He also tackles polyamory and offers suggestions on how to change your spouse’s behavior.
