In this episode, we sit down with Rossi Lewis:  storyteller, content creator, and accidental “dating diarist”  whose TikTok journey began with a chance meeting at the gym and spiraled into documenting the chaos, comedy, and heartbreak of gay dating.

Rossi opens up about his early years in Cardiff, navigating anger, therapy, and the challenges of growing up queer in a world that didn’t always feel safe. He shares raw stories of coming out, flying across the world to meet a stranger, and finding himself unexpectedly in a messy love triangle on day one.

From whirlwind romances to the lessons of heartbreak, Rossi reflects on love bombing, open relationships, and the unspoken expectations placed on gay men around sex, roles, and masculinity. With humour and honesty, he challenges the idea that romance is dead and insists that connection, vulnerability, and authenticity still matter.

Alongside the laughs and wild dating stories, Rossi offers a candid take on healing cycles, choosing honesty over performance, and what it really means to date as a gay man in 2025.
