Lakshmi explores the idea of “baggage” in today’s dating culture and the sneaky way it can show up for Later Daters in particular. Sometimes weighing people like an anchor rather than filling them up with momentum and excitement about the future. Even terms like divorce, widow, infidelity, never married; they're not just words, they can shape our experience and your ability to connect with others. As A Later Dater it's worth figuring out how you want to talk about your past in way that give people a glimpse into who you are rather than simply reaching for the nearest available description.
