Dating Intentionally’s mission is to make modern dating fun and help daters navigate the challenges and decisions that come with finding a long-term partner using dating apps with confidence.
I’m Talia Koren, and I started Dating Intentionally as an Instagram account in March 2022 to document my dating journey. Since then, I’ve launched the Dating Intentionally Podcast, 1:1 dating coaching services and workshops to help ambitious women find amazing matches and get into long-term relationships.
Why dating? When I broke up with my ex of six years, I made it my mission to put all the lessons I had learned from that experience, relationship books I had read and therapy into practice. I was 29 and ready for a completely different relationship. So I fired up dating apps like Hinge, Tinder, Bumble and Feeld and went on about 200 dates with 64 different people in 10 months. Compared to my single friends, I felt like I was the only one having a good time, which is what made me start the Instagram account in the first place.
I made dating my hobby and ultimately got into another relationship (we met on Hinge!). This time, it’s the exact relationship I was looking for with a partner who can meet my needs. The Dating Intentionally podcast, Instagram and blog is here to help other women nail down their relationship needs and date in a way that aligns with their values.
