One of my favorite parts of this podcast is when Melanie revealed her request of seeing a single man's credit report before the relationship got serious. For real. When she asked me. I told her I didn't have the report handy but I told her my score. I passed. Thankfully. Then, I had to ask if she asked other men she saw for that information. She told me if the relationship was going anywhere, she would ask for it. Melanie once told me of a single attorney who was offended when she offered up that request. He then told her several days later, "you know, that's actually not a bad idea." Yep. A strong woman with a wise idea.

Many of you already know that Melanie is a hairdresser with many years of experience. Over those years, she's heard numerous stories about dating from both men and women. Teamed with her own personal experience, I found out she had the most grounded approach to dating I had ever seen. And I dated a lot before my first marriage, and some after my divorce. It wasn't just about wisdom through experience. It's how she arrived there that was so impressive. Singles, I hope you take a few minutes to hear Melanie's heart. You won't learn everything there is to know in 25 minutes, but you'll get a lot.
