This episode was recorded live at Ash Cigars in Kansas City, Missouri with a group of local singles.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Cigar Smoking v Cigarette Smoking - is there a difference?  (We say YES!)
• What are single people looking for after 40? I think people are looking for different things at different parts of their journey...excitement, sex, fun, an escape, friendship, to build a network, OR a sense of comfort, security, avoidance of being alone.
• How do you hit on someone in public but not offend or seem creepy? I think it's bullshit that we have to overthink this. I think we should feel confident to walk up to someone and say something flattering or say something funny and just see where it goes.
• Why do men think we want dick pics turned into a fun discussion between my male friend & I about sexualizing the initial flirtation stage of online dating.
• How do I balance my career, parenting, podcasting/writing, and dating... I prioritize & dating is at the bottom of the list. This topic morphed into a discussion of how my podcast is affecting my dating life.
• How do you kindly decline a date or second date? A friend of mine reminded us that it's ok to meet awesome people and it not be a match.
• Do men or women really want the truth when their date feels catfished or deceived or that they've mischaracterized themselves?
• We discuss talking with/dating multiple people at the same time.
• First date ideas/opinions on where to go and how much time and money to invest.

I had so much fun having these conversations with my friends.  I hope you enjoyed listening!
