In this final full week of dates, a guy asked one of the rudest questions anyone has ever asked me, another shocked me with his age, and I matched with one of my followers from the Tip Jar.

Here the full recap, plus a couple stories from the WAY BACK time machine (I went out with a guy who is in prison now), and what I am really, ultimately, looking for in a partner.

We’re getting so close, y’all!

This week, I sit down with my good friend Randi for an hour of yapping! We talk about our best and worst dates, when we were the bad guy in the relationship, crazy things we did after breakups, our celeb crushes, and so much more.

It’s a light-hearted palate cleanser from all of my bad dates, so I hope you’ll listen and enjoy!

Some of the other episodes we reference:

"Are You Insane" (episode 1) - The Oak Steakhouse Guy (my most dramatic bad date)

Episode 6 - Dating Coach Lindsay Taylor

Episode 8 - Jake from Thursday Dating

We’re getting near the end of my 40 dates, and the outlook is still quite bleak.

This week, I recap Week 5, which started with a bad listener and ended with an unwanted kiss.

We also discuss the Burn the Haystack method of dating, a really sweet marriage story that makes me cry, and a poem about finding love that also makes me cry.

So grab your tea (and maybe your tissues) and let’s dive in!
