Dating Is Hard Y'All

Love is Blind on Netflix is WILD and so entertaining! In this episode, Polly and I discuss which couples we fell in love with, the ones we found kinda off and those we simply didn't like. Dating is hard y'all, even on reality TV!

Guys...this podcast had nearly 100 downloads in the last seven days. WHAT is going on? Is the universe playing a trick on me? Is someone sinister trying to dupe me? That number might not seem like a lot...but it's a lot to me and this podcast. So, I changed my mind - sorry, haha - this podcast will go on after all! Spoiler alert - next few episodes will be about notorious dating reality tv shows...(cough cough, NETFLIX). Stay tuned, stay in and remember, dating is hard y'all but it's better together!

Polly and I discuss the state of dating (how abysmal it is) and why the time is now to pivot to a new podcast that's NOT all about dating. We also talk about everything else in our lives (work, coronavirus, the next podcast) as we wrap up the final episode of Dating is Hard Y'All! Thank YOU so much for listening and make sure to add me on social media at Akemi Liyanage (google me, I'm easy to find) so we can stay connected when my new podcast comes out next month!

Well! It is a strange day when a dating podcaster like myself admits to losing interest in dating and wanting to stay single. But that's how it is right? Things change. We evolve. And I'm quite happy with my life without a boyfriend. 

What happens when you confess your love to someone that you KNOW doesn't like you, during a time in your life when you know you don't want to date? The answer - pure emotional chaos. After a friend/listener reached out to me to learn about the full story, I decided to dish the complete, unedited tale of how I developed feelings for, got rejected by and am feeling about the crush I had on my best (former?) guy friend. It ain't pretty, y'all, I'll give you that. 

Ah, what a week! Coronavirus, Muay Thai and of course, a confession of true love...not. What the hell happened this week? Let's get on with this dating journey, my fellow badasses. 

Hello my lovely ladies! Welcome to the tribe where we openly voice our disdain for poorly written dating profiles, awful pictures and the whole sh*tshow that is modern dating in general. This week I talk about why I decided to DELETE all of my dating apps and what I've been focusing on instead! Dating is HARD y'all but it's way better together. 

We're having a totally normal conversation...that takes a NOSE DIVE into some uncharted territory. Ugh! This date when from alright to TERRIBLE pretty damn quickly. What the f*ck happened? Listen to me and Abby from Sis Are You Okay? podcast as we dish out and dissect all the details on this AWFUL date! Also make sure to follow her podcast on Spotify/Itunes/everywhere! 

In part two of my awesome episode with @Thirdlifecrisis (follow her NOW) we talk about a post that went viral - a girl posts a screenshot of herself cancelling at 5 PM due to a product launch and her date responds...not so kindly. We discuss our thoughts on this and whether or not she truly dodged a bullet!

So I matched with this guy and we went on this date...and then THIS happens. What the hell? How does a situation go from being pretty okay to us being DONE? Listen in on me and @Thirdlifecrisis (she's AWESOME - follow her on Instagram RIGHT now).
