Dating Is Hard Y'All

Polly on the POD y'all! Three weeks after I went no-contact with my ex, I meet ANOTHER VERSION of him. Holy hell - how do I deal with this situation and did I pass the test? Then, Polly and I take apart the story of a Redditor with a curious dilemma - why is she so unsure about dating a dude she's known for a whopping ten years?! We go deeper as to why she might be feeling this way and our advice for anyone dealing with a similar situation.

Yan and I sit down, colour and talk about his dating experience using Tinder Gold in Europe and how he's changed his dating profile since the last time we talked. We also cover some truly awful (yet SUPER interesting) stories of people on Reddit telling us why they're glad a relationship ended. Dating is Hard Y'All!

In this episode, we cover how scary AF it can be to be back on the dating scene after a long hiatus (read: a long-ass relationship). Plus we cover two r/relationships stories on partners that are CLEARLY being weird about stupid shit. Ugh! So frustration. Also, this is Meg's first episode on the podcast..WELCOME MEG!

Hello hello! In week two of no-contact, I found myself ruminating a LOT on my last relationship, especially the stuff that went wrong. In this episode, I give a small PSA about trusting astrology/tarot TOO much (everything with a grain of salt is healthier, y'all!), go over two early signs that my last relationship probably wasn't for the best and I read several r/askreddit stories on why people broke up with their ex-SO's. Topics or thoughts? DM me at @datingishardyall on Insta!

Hi y'all! Coming at you hot with this solo-sode packed with personal updates, more complaining about dating apps (of course) as well as some crazy CHEATING stories I picked up on reddit and the official urban dictionary definition of breadcrumming! 

Our exes can be really difficult to part with. They're a huge chunk of our history, the people that we shared beautiful experiences with. But, trying to figure out what you are after your break up can turn out to be a toxic cycle of false hope and deep hurt. You guys broke up for a reason right? This is why you should keep it that way. 

Why do we always meet people who don't have time to date on DATING apps? In this episode, Polly and I talk about how we're DONE with dating people who for one reason or another are too "busy" to date us. Boy, BYE!

2019 has been a WHIRLWIND of a year folks! Lots of frogs, only one prince. Hear the wild tales of the tadpoles that I gladly tossed back into the pond. 

Eesh! While I can't say I've worked particularly hard on my OkCupid profile, I didn't think it was THAT bad. As the dudes swiping right on me and leaving me messages has progressively gotten lower, I decided to consult on expert to find out WHY from the source of all dude-esque wisdom - YAN. And boy, was I in for a surprise - my profile definitely wasn't as good as I thought it was! 

Guys, bad texting is AWFUL. No, like REALLY bad. Bad enough to make a girl like me (and a co-host like Yan) lose our minds to the point that we have to put our foot down, say enough is enough and just cut someone out of our lives. In this episode we talk about how confusing and painful it could be when a guy isn't consistent in his texting patterns to the point that you just can't deal with them anymore. Plus Yan's dating life is heating up but could it simultaneously be cooling down? We get right into it.
