F*CK THAT SHIT

In the season finale of the Dating Diaries, I'm opening up about what happened after I told someone I was catching feelings and how I'm learning to stay present instead of running when love feels uncertain.

We talk about disorganized attachment, emotional safety, knowing when to be patient versus when to walk away, and why choosing to love—even without guarantees—is sometimes the most F*ck That Shit thing you can do.

Thanks for joining me on this journey. Until next time.

In this episode of The Dating Diaries, Emma gets personal about what it's like to navigate a new romantic connection when your nervous system was taught to be suspicious of the good things. She talks about catching feelings and not trusting them, the pull toward assuming the worst in someone who has done nothing wrong, and why she's choosing to stay instead of run — because everything is data, clarity doesn't equal safety, and sometimes the slow burn is exactly what healing looks like. This one is for anyone who has ever talked themselves out of something good before it even had a chance.

Dirty Lola has been getting real about sex, polyamory, and kink for over a decade, with a microphone in one hand and a dildo in the other, dropping knowledge on Netflix, HBO, Vice, and The Cut's YouTube channel, and making it her mission to smash stigma, spread joy, and help folks find their pleasure groove. Together they get into what it really means to be a picky slut, why cheating is just unethical non-monogamy, how to know what kind of lover you actually are, and how to get back out into the world and meet people like a human being again.

Dating is supposed to be about connection — so why does it feel so lonely? In this episode, Emma sits down with Isabella Cassell, founder of The Full and creator of the NYC Dating Collective, to get honest about why modern dating feels so hard, what our swiping habits are actually revealing about us, and why ease might be the missing ingredient we're all overlooking. They get into the real cost of over-giving, what it means to live a full life before love finds you, and the one practice that changes everything: learning to sit with uncertainty without making it mean something about your worth. If you've ever felt like you were doing everything right and still couldn't figure out why dating felt so exhausting — this episode is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with Vaish Sesetty and Cyrus Belsoi, the founders of Pique — a human connection organization based in NYC on a mission to bring the human back to human connection. We get into how Pique evolved from a dating app into a full community experience built around in-person events, vulnerability, and genuine connection of all forms. We talk about the Love Wall, creating safe spaces for authentic interaction, what it actually means to build community in a city full of people who are somehow still lonely, and why adults deserve playful environments that challenge everything we think we know about how connection is supposed to look.

This one is warm, real, and a reminder that the most radical thing you can do right now is just show up for each other.

In this personal vignette, I'm getting real about self trust — what it looks like when it's missing, what it feels like when it starts coming back, and what happens when someone unexpected shows up and makes it really hard to keep hiding from yourself. We're talking about the sorry habit, the holding back, the skin itching and crawling the moment something genuinely good shows up — and why all of it comes down to one thing: not trusting yourself enough to believe you deserve it. This one is personal, it's honest, and if you've ever been your own worst enemy when it comes to just being present in something that might actually be working out — this episode is for you. Fuck that shit to not trusting yourself.

In this episode, I sit down with Benjamin Camras (@benjamincamras) — flirt and dating coach, host of the Flirtations Flirtcast, and self-proclaimed lifelong introvert — to talk about what it really means to flirt fearlessly. Benjamin shares his journey of navigating social anxiety and depression while helping singles and daters build confidence, clarity, and connection in all its forms. We get into micro flirting, repatterning your nervous system, the self-belief work behind showing up boldly, and why taking a pause might just be the most powerful move you can make. His work has been featured in Fortune, NBC News, The Huffington Post, Men's Health, and Yoga Journal — and trust me, this conversation delivers.

In this episode of The Dating Diaries, Emma gets into what it actually looks like to stop following a healing rulebook that was never really hers — and start living by her own rules. She shares what went down with Mr. New Years (including the most unhinged plot twist), how she hosted her own Hottie Hour to prove you don't need an event to give yourself permission to connect, and yes — why she, the girl who said fck that shit to dating apps, downloaded a dating app. This one's for anyone who's been so busy doing it right that they forgot to actually do it. Healed enough to misbehave on purpose? Let's get into it.

Ted Nimbe is the founder of Lunaire, a social events company reimagining the way people meet in real life. Built on the belief that connection should feel natural rather than performative, Lunaire creates carefully curated social nights across London's warmest, most vibrant spaces — warm lighting, balanced rooms, grounded energy, and zero pressure. No apps, no algorithms. Just people open to connecting.

In this episode, Emma sits down with Ted to explore why modern dating feels so broken and what it looks like to actually do something about it. They get into the stigma around singles events, how intentional room design shapes the way people show up, the role of vulnerability and emotional openness in real connection, and why taking a break from dating apps might be the most radical thing you can do for your love life.

Key Takeaways:

• A well-designed environment can do more for connection than any algorithm
• Vulnerability isn't weakness — it's the entry point to anything real
• The antidote to app fatigue is showing up, literally
• Genuine connection requires slowness, intention, and a little courage
