Tue, 31 Mar 2026 12:00:36 +0000

Have you ever had a relationship where you thought "this is it" only for it to crumble right before your eyes? Add in if there was any infidelity or other betrayals and ooph – no wonder it's hard to get back into dating and trust again. We're talking to Greg about what he's discovered 3 years post-divorce about dating again, navigating the apps, and healing through it all. We discuss what it means to date with your values at the forefront even after betrayal, ways to really confront the trauma so it doesn't follow you into the next relationship, and how to rebuild trust in yourself (and others) so you can ultimately find happiness again.

TW: While overall this conversation is very positive, there are mentions of infidelity and suicidal thoughts at the beginning.

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 12:00:03 +0000

Situationships always have a villain—but it might not be who you think. In this episode, Yue challenges the narrative that the non-committal partner is the bad guy, especially if they have been honest about what they can offer. Inspired by the short film Making Space, she explores how we often ignore clear signals, cling to potential, and hope ambiguity will turn into commitment. Yue unpacks the difference between accepting reality and chasing possibility—and why taking responsibility for your choices is the most empowering move you can make. Enjoy!

Quickie w/ Julie: The #1 Skill You Can Have In Dating

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 12:00:32 +0000

In this episode, Julie is breaking down the biggest change she made when dating the last time around before meeting her now-husband: seeking clarity. If you’ve ever overanalyzed a text, questioned where you stand, or stayed because “maybe it’ll become clear,” this conversation will shift how you approach dating. Julie breaks down why directly asking for what you need isn’t aggressive — it’s self-respect — and how getting real answers (even the uncomfortable ones) is the fastest path to healthier love.

S22E5: Why You Think You're Single vs. What Your Friends Really Think (From the Perspective of 2 Male BFFs)

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 12:00:41 +0000

Have you ever thought you knew why dating was so hard only for your best friend to have a completely different perspective of what's keeping you single? We're joined by two lifelong besties Sean & Ned to hear Sean's challenges of dating in a highly ambitious city like San Francisco where the ratios skew more men to women. And of course the perspective of Ned from his experiences with Sean and his own revelations before finding the partner of his dreams three years ago. We're discussing the difference of being picky vs. settling, what's really going on to cause you to pick the partners you do, and how to let go of the stories that aren't serving you (and discover the root causes of where they may be coming from).

Quickie w/ Yue: Love Isn't Blind (And Not For The Reasons You Think)

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 13:00:11 +0000

Emotional connection is powerful—but is it enough? In this episode, Yue questions the idea that love can truly be “blind" but beyond just being physically attracted, and more about the general ease and connection you share in a physical space. Drawing from the TV show Love Is Blind (which she has gotten hooked this season), a recent experience with a friend of hers, and her own time in a"virtual" relationship before she finally met up with the guy in San Francisco, she explores why physical chemistry and nonverbal cues matter more than we admit. This is another reason to take the leap and go meet in person as soon as possible (even if the connection starts online). Enjoy!

Sat, 28 Feb 2026 13:00:33 +0000

What if the real risk isn’t settling… it’s misunderstanding what makes love last? In this episode, Julie challenges the way we think about choosing a partner.

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 15:00:15 +0000

Dating may feel harder, but has it truly gotten harder in the last 10 years? Julie is breaking down her hypothesis that what we do know is that it sure has gotten a heck of a lot noisier!

We’re joined by former CNN journalist May Lee, who shares her incredible journey of getting engaged for the first time at age 57. Her story is warm, grounded, and such a powerful reminder that taking your time doesn’t mean you’ve missed out—it often means you’re creating space for the right partner to arrive. If you’ve ever worried you’re running out of time or felt anxious about not being where you thought you “should” be, this episode is your reassurance that love doesn’t expire—and your story is still very much unfolding.

S21E17: How To Be Detached in Dating Yet Still Open For A Relationship w/ Sabrina Bendory

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 13:00:35 +0000

Being detached doesn't mean that you don't care or give up on dating. But it does mean that you know your worth and aren't going to settle for less than treatment because you got attached to someone or the idea of a relationship working out. We're joined with guest Sabrina Bendory for our Season 21 finale to discuss the power of detachment – through her own story and those of her clients – and how this subtle shift can help you reclaim your agency when dating. We discuss navigating ambiguity in dating in a way that frees you from anxiety, how to take control of what's in your control when dating (and detach from the rest), and ways you can practice micro-surrendering without surrendering your need for a healthy, fulfilling relationship.

We're giving you an authentic, raw and rare male perspective on Dateable—that of a single British man in his 40s, who’s done the inner work to finally become emotionally available and ready for a committed relationship… after a long chapter of global thrill-seeking, temptation, hedonism and personal escape. Join us as we talk to Phil about his journey – how he realized he was hiding from intimacy and how he started to carve a path out. We discuss the balance needed in your lifestyle to be ready for a relationship, the ways his social life has changed and where he's meeting people now, and what he's done to confront some of the behaviors he knows are getting in his way (and continues to do as it's still an evolving process!)

S21E14: Designing The Love Life That's Meant For You w/ Ellecia Paine

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 13:00:57 +0000

What if the secret to a healthy, lasting relationship isn’t finding “the right person”… but designing the relationship that’s actually right for you? We’re here with Ellecia Paine who experienced first-hand what it's like to be in a relationship that looks good on the outside but feels empty on the inside, – and how she used this experience to completely redefine what she was looking for in a partnership. We discuss how to break out of the inherited “shoulds” when searching for love, why it's not "too much" to ask for more when it comes to your relationship, and how to create a structure that’s built for who you are, whether you’ve found your person or not.

TW: We talk about an abusive relationship at the start of the interview.

#brunchtalk: Can You Future-Proof Your Relationships When Dating?

Sun, 16 Nov 2025 15:00:21 +0000

In a world where everything feels uncertain, is it actually possible to future-proof your relationship? In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the biggest dating trends of 2025: the rise of future-proofing. With people becoming more intentional about who they commit to, long-term compatibility is suddenly more attractive than fleeting chemistry — and psychologists are backing it. In fact, a recent Forbes article calls future-proofing “the healthiest dating trend of 2025,” but is it realistic? We're unpacking why trying to predict the future with a partner isn’t foolproof. In this episode, we break down what future-proofing really means, why it’s trending, where it goes wrong, and how conscious dating (not perfection-hunting) is still the most powerful way to build a fulfilling relationship.

But more importantly, how she became a 'final girl' who made it out alive. We're discussing some of the common 'monsters' in dating, how you break toxic dating patterns that get you involved with them in the first place, and ways you can be the final girl (or guy) romanticizing your own love story – whether you've met your person or not.

#brunchtalk: How Single Are You Really?

Sun, 09 Nov 2025 15:00:37 +0000

Most people are not truly single in modern dating. Even if they say they are. And being on this 'single scale' could be exactly what's holding you back from finding your forever person. Because many of us (or the people we're dating!) are semi in the middle - caught in situationships, FWB situations, casual hookups, or unrequited love. Or even if they aren't – you never know who else they are dating and in what stage they are with their connection! We're discussing how understanding the single scale can change your approach, why being comfortable being single AF is actually the ultimate path, and ways you can ask 'How single are you?' without those exact words.

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 12:00:23 +0000

We're told to be independent but not too independent...so what's the line between what helps us preserve our autonomy versus what keeps us out of partnership? We're diving into this topic that's near and dear to our hearts as two people who have built our own lives, boundaries and identities...yet still want to open ourselves up fully to another human being. We're being brutally honest about the areas that we struggle with vs what feels more like natural integration, signs of healthy independence, and how to strive for the sweet spot of interdependence with a partner.

S21E4: The Dating Plan

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 12:00:01 +0000

What happens when you want to shift the way you date completely? You come up with a plan that's so counter to the way we date today that it may be construed as controversial to some (true story!). We're joined with our guest Raymond who is sharing his new dating plan – and why he got to the place of making one in the first place. We're discussing how to outline a more defined, intentional approach that will either be a game-changing way to date (or at a minimum, a daring experiment), the difference between having a vision of the way you want to date versus being rigid to dating rules, and how to use your own patterns and past experiences to craft the right type of dating plan for you. Plus, join us first for a bit of Julie's wedding weekend recap.

#brunchtalk: Monogamy ISN'T Dead

Sun, 07 Sep 2025 14:00:36 +0000

It may feel like everyone is looking for something casual or non-committal but the reality is that there are people looking for exactly what you are. We're diving into why it's a myth that no one wants monogamous relationships anymore and how you can stay true to your own needs/ desires, sift out the people who are not on the same page, and focus on the ones who are. We discuss how to shift out of the 'there's no one good out there' mentality, where to find like-minded people, and how to get clear about what you really want to manifest it.

Tue, 02 Sep 2025 12:00:40 +0000

What happens when you can't seem to find any good people to date? Your app dates are blah and it feels like you just aren't meeting the right people IRL. We're talking to Cassidy Davis, the creator of Chaotic Singles Party, of how she went from tragically single (her words!) to meeting her finance by taking matters into her own hands by inviting 65 guys off Tinder for a house party – and then making these into recurring events. We're discussing how we can all live by the 'if you make it, they will come' mentality (even if you don't want to do something exactly like this), ways to actually connect at in-person events, and why it's a good thing to be a little chaotic in your love life.

#brunchtalk: Dating Isn't As Personal As We Make It

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 14:00:27 +0000

It's hard not to take dating personally. But the reality is that most people WON'T be matches – and if they don't text back, don't want to go on another date, or don't want to enter a serious committed relationship, most times it has nothing to do with you. So join us in this #brunchtalk to discuss why can shift our mindset to approach dating with a lighter heart, the spectrum of taking accountability for personal growth versus viewing everything as a reflection of yourself, and how to use "it's not you, it's them" as a way to lead to more authentic connections.

#brunchtalk: How Do You Deal With Judgemental Friends or Family When Dating?

Sun, 14 Apr 2024 17:00:00 +0000

Nothing is worse than having judgemental friends or family who pick apart every last person you date. In this week's brunch talk, we're discussing how to deal when the people closest to you think the person you're dating isn't "good enough." We're discuss where this type of feedback may come from, why it's important to know what's useful information versus superficial reasons that should be tuned out, and how you can talk your friends and family in a way that asserts your point of view – and stands up for the person you're dating.

#brunchtalk: How Do You Have Difficult Conversations When You're Anxious And They're Avoidant?

Sun, 07 Apr 2024 17:00:00 +0000

Difficult conversations are difficult for a reason – but even more when you're hyper-communicative and your partner is well...not. We're discussing how to having challenging conversations especially when it comes to the momentum of your relationship when one person may be more avoidant and slower paced than the other. We're discussing it all from how to broach these convos without smothering the other person, ways you can advocate for yourself while still listening to your partners perspective, and why it's pivotal that you both get more vulnerable and out of this anxious-avoidant trap.

S18E6: Can AI Save Dating Apps? w/ Ben Chiang

Wed, 03 Apr 2024 04:00:00 +0000

No, we're not talking about ChatGPT or tools that write your profile or texts (or even worse, create fake photos!). We're talking about how AI can actually revolutionize dating apps in the way Tinder did in 2012 (over a decade ago!) Join us as we chat with Ben, the founder of Volar dating, about how they're using AI to cut through the BS of dating apps and make them more efficient. We get it: AI is scary. Before talking to Ben, we weren't 100% onboard either. But now, all we can see are the possibilities. So if you're sick of dating apps as they are, you don't want to miss this episode!

Sun, 31 Mar 2024 17:00:00 +0000

If you identify as a woman (or date women!), you've probably heard about why 'feminine energy' is so important to attract a mate. But it's 2024 people, and we're discussing why this is actually quite problematic even though it feels innocent enough. So buckle up as we chat about why this advice is simply outdated, how to embrace a natural style for you that still gives off an interested vibe, and ways we can all start dating in a way that doesn't feel as performative.

What happens when the sexual wellness community you're part of starts to feel like a cult? We're chatting with Rebecca, who is still coming to terms with her experience with orgasmic meditation and the organization OneTaste, which got profiled in the Netflix documentary Orgasm Inc. We discuss what attracted her to the practice in the first place, the tipping point of when this experience started to not feel right, and how she's recovering from the disturbing allegations vs. missing the woman she was at this time.

Sun, 12 Mar 2023 17:00:00 +0000

From all the romcoms and dating advice, we've been told over and over again: if they wanted to, they would. They'd move mountains to be with us and if they can't, then they just aren't that into it. In this week’s brunch talk, we’re discussing when someone says they can't do something / they aren't ready and what this means for you, why this saying isn't always so black and white, and how to use this information to help propel you forward in your love life.

S16E3: The Real Red Flags to Look Out For w/Ebele Onyema from OneLove

Wed, 01 Mar 2023 05:00:00 +0000

We often throw up the red flag card, but how can we make sure we are focused on actual red flags that may lead to unhealthy relationships? We're diving in with Ebele Onyema from the OneLove Foundation about signs of unhealthy behaviors in relationships and how they can show up subtly in early dating. We discuss the line that makes a behavior unhealthy (or even abusive), how you talk to a friend whether it's you or them in the situation, and what green flags to look out for that make for healthy relationships.

TW: We discuss both physically and emotionally abusive relationships

Sun, 26 Feb 2023 18:00:00 +0000

When we're dating we always want to know...is this person as invested in me as I am in them? Are they serious about this relationship? But what happens when all the boxes are checked but you still are unsure? In this week’s brunch talk, we’re talking about how DTR'ing and putting labels on a relationship aren't everything, how you can communicate what a relationship means to you, and why expressing how you feel and giving the space for a partner to meet you is what a relationship is all about.

S15E15: Stopping the Comparison Game

Wed, 23 Nov 2022 05:00:00 +0000

When you're the only single person in the group or you're waiting to get engaged while all your friends are having babies, even the best of us can find ourselves playing the comparison game. We’re chatting with Drew about how he's been down this road before and learned to trust the timing of his own path. We discuss how to approach conversations about your status (especially over the holidays), the importance of celebrating your personal wins even if they aren't the "life milestones", and why it's important to water your own grass when you feel like the grass may be greener on the other side.

We loved Drew so much and think he's quite dateable! Follow him @cubbybluedrew or drop him a line.

Sun, 20 Nov 2022 18:00:00 +0000

We've all been there before: the person we're interested in is texting us yet they won't bite the bullet and make actual plans.

We discuss why people continuously text when they have no intention of ever meeting up, how to be more direct about wanting plans, and ways to "break up" when you were never really dating in the first place.

S15E14: I Choose Myself w/ Deepti from Love is Blind

Wed, 16 Nov 2022 05:00:00 +0000

It's hard to make the call to end a relationship, situationship (or even engagement!) that isn't serving you but often the right decision is to move forward on your own. We’re chatting with Deepti about why she chose herself at the alter on Netflix's Love is Blind – and her self-love journey prior to and after the show. We discuss how to deal when you find out your partner isn't the person you thought they were, why respect is so pivotal for your own self-love, and why the most important relationship is the one you have with yourself.

S15E4: The Lowest Common Denominator (in dating)

Wed, 07 Sep 2022 04:00:00 +0000

So you're sick of being ghosted, breadcrumbed, roached, or whatever is the term for the latest bad dating behavior?

We're chatting with Sonica about how she feels dating culture has caused her to succumb to the lowest common denominator by normalizing bad dating behaviors. We discuss how frustrating it can be to feel like you're trying in a world where everyone else isn't, why dating app culture has changed how we treat one another, and how you can rise up to meet people that match your energy instead of sinking to the bottom.

S15E3: Unraveling Your Relationship History w/ Des Bishop

Wed, 31 Aug 2022 04:00:00 +0000

They say the past is in the past....but should it be? Sometimes reflecting back on our past relationships is exactly how we get to where we want to go. We're going deep with comedian Des Bishop about how his relationships with others (and the one with himself) got him to the place to be with now-wife and fellow comedian Hannah Berner. We discuss how our priorities ebb and flow throughout the years, why dating to "do life" with each other is a better approach, and the balance of being ready and luck when meeting the right person.

Sun, 28 Aug 2022 17:00:00 +0000

During this week's brunch talk, we debate whether the man (in hetero relationships) should still pick up the bill, why we need to stop with the fake reach, and how to plan dates where the expectations are more clear upfront.

S14E20: So Tell Me About the Last Time You Had Sex w/ Ian Kerner

Wed, 06 Jul 2022 04:00:00 +0000

Whether you had to think for awhile or you can recall your last time like that, we're chatting with She Comes First author and sex therapist Ian Kerner about the pleasures of sex and how sex can help us bring us closer to our partners (and in light of everything going on, we all need that reminder more than ever!). We discuss the importance of being 'cliterate' and not just putting the emphasis on intercourse, how you can start to explore in the bedroom in a way that doesn't seem as intimidating, and the important sex trends you need to know that are happening right now.

TW: In the intro we also talk about abortion rights and the overturning of Roe v. Wade

#brunchtalk: How do you know if they're 'The One'?

Sun, 03 Jul 2022 17:00:00 +0000

We've been told from an early age, there's 'The One' – that person who is our best friend, our soulmate, the person we belong with. But is that even realistic? And how do we know if we are making the right choice? It can be tricky especially if we have had little relationship experience to benchmark it against. Join us for this week's brunch talk as we discuss if 'The One' even exists, signs you are with the right person, and how to distinguish between fear and if this person is actually a good fit for you or not

S14E19: My Body, My Choice

Wed, 29 Jun 2022 04:00:00 +0000

With everything that's been going on overturning roe v wade, we wanted to do a special episode where we talked to three different women (Janis, Mikala, and Priya) about their own experience with the decision to have an abortion (or not). We discuss how you don't ever know what you'll do until you're in the situation, the importance of choice, and why this decision has many layers and complexities that simply doesn't belong in our government's hands.

#brunchtalk: Should I leave a relationship that's good but not great?

Sat, 25 Jun 2022 17:00:00 +0000

Would you rather stay in a mediocre relationship than to start over and be single? The thought of dating "from scratch" can be daunting but does it really justify staying in a relationship not meeting your needs? In this week's brunchtalk, we explore whether to try to salvage your current relationship or cut bait and how to reframe your mindset about what "starting over" even means.

Sun, 19 Jun 2022 17:00:00 +0000

Office romance...is it a do or a don't? While your co-workers could definitely be viable prospects, there's also a lot more on the line when you start to date people from work which makes this a tricky subject.

S14E17: A New Definition of Family

Wed, 15 Jun 2022 04:00:00 +0000

These days there's no on right way to have a relationship, so why would having a family be any different? We're chatting with David, Zeke, and Avary about the rise of the 3-parent family and their arrangement as co-parents with Avary & Zeke being a married couple and David being their asexual platonic friend. We discuss why they opted to do things differently as a non-nuclear family (and how far they went to make it all legally binding), the importance of chosen family especially when traditional arrangements aren't on the table or don't feel right to you, and how to be intentional about your relationships at all stages.

S14E16: The Science of Self-Awareness (in dating) w/ Dr. Tasha Eurich

Wed, 08 Jun 2022 04:00:00 +0000

We think we're self aware, but are we? And why is this so essential for romantic relationships? We're chatting with Dr. Tasha Eurich about why it's so essential while dating (and having long-term relationships) to hone into our awareness of ourselves,others, and the impact we have on one another. We discuss how we're all a little less self aware than we think, the shift from talking about the why to the what, and how relating to ourselves and others just 1% better can dramatically improve our love lives.

#brunchtalk: When should I have the DTR convo?

Sun, 05 Jun 2022 17:00:00 +0000

Ah the million dollar question: when to define the relationship. How do you make sure you don't do it too early? Or do you risk doing it too late that they could end up with someone else? On this week's brunch talk we're talking about why time isn't a factor into the DTR convo, how to have a series of low pressure chats starting early on, and why the focus should actually NOT be on defining the relationship (but rather something else).

Sun, 22 May 2022 17:00:00 +0000

We discuss knowing when to think things through vs. take a leap of faith, what marriage, love, and commitment mean in today's day in age, and why friendship is the foundation of any relationship.

S14E12: Taming Your Inner Critic w/ Katie Sturino

Wed, 11 May 2022 04:00:00 +0000

Even the best of us can start to believe that inner voice that wonders if we’re too fat, too skinny, too tall, too short, too light, too dark – whatever it is that gets in the way of thinking we’re worthy of love. But have no fear, we’re silencing the self doubt as we chat with Katie Sturino about how she regained her confidence and rocked the dating game even at her lowest point. We discuss how our earliest trauma still plays into the way we think about ourselves when dating, the importance of “doing the work” even though it feels unfair you have to do it at all, and why it's so damn important to get to a place where we’re truly comfortable in our own skin.

Trigger Warning: We discuss abortion rights and the recall of Chesa Boudin in the intro if you need to skip ahead

S11E11: Politics Aside: A Blind Date Experiment

Wed, 28 Oct 2020 04:00:00 +0000

Can you date someone with opposing political views? We set up Tom and Kiki to check-in through various points of their virtual blind date about how they're feeling from when politics are off the table to when they're open to debate. We discuss when politics should come into the discussion on a first date, how they play into our values for a long-term relationship, and how we can start to break through this divide a bit more...romantic or not.

NOTE: for anyone triggered by this topic, our guests are not extremists in any way....just two people who see the world a bit differently. Without giving away too much, they were able to have an open discussion in a peaceful way. We learned a lot and hope you can too.
