March 19, 2024 E42 The Dating Pool has TEA in It: A Candid Convo
The common phrase regarding courtship woes is that “the dating pool has pee in it”. Well…we prefer TEA, and we are serving it HOT this episode. For the first time, we are joined by not one - but TWO guests, our friends, Brock and Latetia, to discuss dating in the modern age. We discuss social media’s impact on dating - the good, the bad, and the ugly. We talk about what moves us, and what irks us. Do men care about the credentials of an accomplished woman? Brock has HIS answer, and it may surprise you!! Do women only want lavish over-the-top first dates? … or are they more impressed by thoughtful dates that incorporate fun & excitement - regardless of the price tag? Latetia lets us know her thoughts. Are potential mates moved by generic ‘good morning’ / WYD texts, or should you be more deliberate in your approach? Kristin has a strong opinion about this. How did a date involving conversation and Chicken Crispers blossom into marriage and family for Nina? Tune in to find out! Tonight’s Cocktail: Grand Mimosa
