For this episode, I brought in someone who knew me long before I became the Lost Loverboy: my mother. Together, we created our own Love Hall of Fame, debating the songs, movies, moments, gestures, couples, and little things that we believe represent love at its best. Some of our picks were easy. Others showed just how differently a mother and son, from two different generations, can see love. This episode is less about giving relationship advice and more about celebrating the things that made us believe in love in the first place. We share stories, disagree on a few nominations, defend our picks, and talk about how our own experiences have shaped what we consider Hall of Fame worthy.

Some of the best lessons I've learned about love didn't come from romance movies. They came from an ogre who didn't believe he deserved to be loved. A man who could fast-forward through his entire life. A woman who woke up every morning without remembering the man who loved her. And a man who had everything he wanted, only to realize that loving someone sometimes means wanting what's best for them, even when it doesn't include you. In this episode of the Lost Loverboy Podcast, I'm revisiting some of my favorite movies and unpacking the love lessons I didn't fully understand when I first watched them. We talk about Shrek, Click, 50 First Dates, Bruce Almighty, and the moments that hit completely differently once you've actually experienced love, heartbreak, sacrifice, fatherhood, and growing up.

For a long time, I think I confused being willing to sacrifice for someone with what it meant to truly love them.

If I could show up enough, give enough, carry enough, choose you enough… maybe eventually I’d feel chosen too.

But somewhere along the way, I had to ask myself a harder question: Do I love through sacrifice because that’s how I love or because sacrifice became the way I learned to prove I was worth loving?

In this episode of the Lost Loverboy Podcast, I talk about my own relationship with being picked, the ways our earliest experiences with love can follow us into adulthood, and what I’m beginning to unlearn about the kind of love I’ve spent my life looking for.

Maybe love isn’t supposed to require me to constantly prove what I’m willing to lose for it.

Maybe the unlearning is realizing I don’t have to sacrifice myself to finally feel chosen.

For so long, I've thought about the qualities I hoped to find in a wife. But recently, God challenged me with a different question: Am I becoming the kind of husband she's praying for? In this episode, I share a personal journal entry that unexpectedly turned into a prayer. Not a prayer asking God to bring me my future wife, but a prayer asking Him to prepare me for her. I reflect on the kind of man I hope to become, the home I hope to build, the peace I hope to protect, and the love I hope she'll never have to question. This isn't a conversation about finding the right person. It's about becoming the right person.

At some point, almost everyone who's been disappointed in love begins asking themselves the same question: "Am I asking for too much?" But what if that's the wrong question?

In this episode, we explore how loneliness, heartbreak, comparison, and time can slowly make us question our standards instead of questioning whether we're simply asking the wrong person for the right things. We talk about the difference between standards and preferences, how fear can disguise itself as compromise, and why healthy love should never require you to abandon what matters most to you.

If you've ever wondered whether your expectations are unrealistic or if you've just been settling for less than you deserve, this conversation is for you.
