This week, we’re calling out the nefarious nice guy. On first blush, he might seem better than the creepy asshole who sends you a dick pic and tells you he wants you to sit on his face in his first message, but it doesn’t take long to realize that the nice guy facade hides an entire wealth of dangerous insecurities, toxic behaviors, and misogynistic mentalities. How do you know if someone is a genuine good guy or a "nice guy"? Listen and find out! Also in this episode: Sarah gets past date 5 (wow!), Adam talks about sportsball, and someone needs a prescription for that D.

Great chemistry is unmistakable, but what's a little more difficult to figure out is how that's different from compatibility. Are you and your date just on a sexual chemistry high or do you have the type of long-term compatibility that you need for a serious relationship? Sarah G. and Adam Avitable examine the differences and similarities between good chemistry and good compatibility when it comes to dating. Also in this episode: Sarah tries to figure out what happens past date 3, Adam's passive-aggressive plan fails, and all you need is that GED (Good Enough Dick)!

We’ve all had situations, whether romantic or otherwise, that ended and left us hanging. Do we have the right to find out why, or to face the person? When is it healthy to try to wrap everything up with a tidy bow and when does it become an obsession? What exactly does a former partner, friend, or lover owe us when it comes to closure? Listen as Adam Avitable and special guest host Lisa dive into this Moby Dick of a topic. Also in this episode: chlamydia, Adam's anxiety, positive thinking, and Adam gets stood up.

Theme song performed by Crafty McVillain.

If narcissists and abusers had a rule book, rule number one would be “Love bomb.” The act of love bombing flatters, entices, and manipulates, and most of us have fallen victim to it at least once in our lives. But how do you recognize it and how do you avoid the romantic terrorists in the world who bomb the hell out of you and then leave you lying in a crater of pain and neglect? Sarah G. and Adam Avitable give you all the tools you need to dodge those bombs and survive the dating world.

Do you owe it to your partner or significant other to divulge your entire sexual history? When is a good time to talk about the dirty dick dalliances of bygone days? Should you provide the prurient particulars of past passionate poundings? How many details are too many? What are the risks involved when it comes to racy recollections? Adam and Sarah give you their thoughts on when you should or shouldn’t share the most intimate details of your life with the person you love.

In this week's episode of Dating Kinda Sucks, Sarah and Adam talk about the audacity of men. What is it that drives them to objectify women, mansplain, and violate boundaries on a regular basis, even unintentionally? Are there inherent behaviors and systemic beliefs that encourage and foster this behavior so that even good guys out there still act in ways that women don't want? Will Adam go on a rant that alienates 20% of the listeners? Did Sarah have any good dates last week? You'll have to listen to find out, and this week, you're definitely going to learn something!

From online to in-person interactions, one of the most nerve-wracking aspects of dating is the act of asking someone out. How soon is too soon to move from Coffee Meets Bagel to coffee with bagels? How do you approach someone in a bar without coming across poorly? Sarah and Adam take this episode to talk about the best practices, acceptable approaches, and multitude of considerations one has to go through before asking someone out, and hopefully make things a little easier in the process!

Your favorite dating podcast is back with season 3! In this episode, Adam and Sarah talk about what happened after the live meetup in December (strip clubs, hookups, and hangovers) and then it's time to talk about resolutions! Even though you don't need a new year to make changes in your life, both hosts have some personal goals in relation to sex, dating and relationships, and some ideal resolutions that everyone should follow in their own lives, whether you're single, partnered or otherwise. What resolutions did you make and were any of them about giving fewer blowjobs?
