Bumbling Idiots: The Online Dating Podcast for the Rest of Us

Sam and Evangeline break down the need for a "focus" feature in online dating apps, awkward Zoom meeting endings, putting your best foot forward when meeting for a date, questioning what a date actually is.... and one heck of a date disaster from Sam's personal archives. 

Novice online dater Evangeline reports back that experienced online dater Sam's recent texting tips have been HIGHLY effective. Sam congratulates Evangeline on "leveling up" to being an actual dater, since she went on a second date with someone, but Evangeline assures Sam she's still quite lost in this world. Also, ventriloquists, serenades, Applebee's, chumming the water and lots of laughter. So. Much. Laughter. 

Oh, also, ear muffs for kids. F-bombs abound. Better yet... the episode IS marked "explicit." Maybe just don't have them listen along? 

Part Two of Two: The conversation continues about staying safe in online dating. Experienced online dater, Sam, wises up naive Evangeline about some of the completely avoidable dangerous situations she has put herself into. Sam shares some of her policies and best practices, as well as basic safety tips. Finally, Sam convinces Evangeline to share a mortifying date story. Fun for all!

Part One of Two: This week on Bumbling Idiots, veteran online dater, Sam, walks neophyte Evangeline through some of the obvious pitfalls and dangers women can encounter. They also discuss some of the more blunt points of texting and red flags men may be inadvertently raising that cause women to back off in the match process. Evangeline ponders at the lack of humanity in the communications of online dating, while Sam praises the efficiency.
