Atl&Co: Matchmaker Explains Why Modern Dating Sucks

April 21, 2026

Hi, I'm Jackie

I'm the head cheerleader for your love story, your new 'big sis' and wing woman - so if you're new to me, welcome to me, your love life will be better now. 

Dating apps promised endless possibilities, but for a lot of people, modern dating just feels exhausting now. That’s exactly the conversation relationship coach Jackie Dorman tackled during her appearance on Atlanta & Company, and she didn’t hold back.

With warmth, humor, and decades of matchmaking experience, Jackie broke down why so many singles feel burned out by swiping culture, mixed signals, and surface-level connections. Instead of blaming technology alone, she explored how modern dating habits have changed the way people communicate, connect, and show up emotionally.

What made the segment stand out was how relatable it felt. Jackie talked about the frustration so many people quietly carry while still keeping the conversation hopeful and entertaining. A few of her observations may have viewers rethinking their own dating patterns immediately.

The discussion was fast-moving and fun while still touching on very real emotional challenges people face today. Jackie’s mix of honesty, insight, and playful delivery made the entire segment feel refreshingly real.

If modern dating has ever made you question what’s actually happening out there, this conversation will hit home.
