The dating advice we wish we knew sooner.

EP #35 - For You: The Dating Advice We Wish We Knew Sooner
***

You sent in your dating struggles; we pulled our best advice out of our asses. In this strange new world of app dating, constant anxiety, and ever-changing standards, how do we stay true to ourselves when looking for connection? Not super well, but everything we've learned in hindsight, we're here to share with you.

All things dating apps - filters and types, how long to talk before a date, and taking breaks when you're being the worst
First dates - the spark, whether chemistry can grow, why to turn a second date into your default, and allowing silence
Early stages - "normal" timelines, exclusivity and labels, and getting your ex out of your head
F**kboys, f**kgirls, and f**kems - texting, ghosting, and knowing when to walk away
Plus, some of YOUR best dating advice, and why this is all just one big animal style numbers game.
