Logan Ury's work on The Later Daters

Logan Ury, the dating coach on The Later Daters, first visited the contestants' homes to get to know them better. Through several conversations with the contestants and their relatives, she gained insights into their lives to help guide their dating journeys.

Using those conversations, she identified factors that were holding the contestant's love lives back. The issue ranged from some contestants being emotionally closed off to others struggling to move on from their late partners.

With Ury's guidance and support, the six contestants went on a series of blind dates until they could find a compatible companion. The dating coach offered pep talks before their dates and followed up with them afterward to learn how things went.

On November 14, Logan Ury shared a post on Instagram promoting the show. She reflected on her experience with the cast and wrote:

"On The Later Daters, I helped Suzanne navigate dating apps—where the eggplant emoji takes on a whole new meaning. I showed Pam how to ask questions and be interested—not interesting. And Iand coached Nate to lead with vulnerability— even when it scared him."
