Send a text

Dating is hard. Dating after COVID is weirder. Dating on apps—when you’re also trying to decode unspoken rules about texting, timing, and “not looking needy”—can feel like a full-time job.

In Episode 5, Julie and her son Jeff get real about:

• Why “reading the room” is hard enough… and reading the digital room is worse
• The texting games people play (and why Jeff refuses to play them)
• Ghosting, red flags, and learning the hard way what to walk away from
• The moment a group of women told Jeff he sounded “too nice” — and why that hit deep
• What Jeff actually wants: something simple, steady, and real… and why that seems “boring” to some people

It’s funny, blunt, and unexpectedly heartfelt—especially if you’ve ever been labeled “too much,” “too nice,” or “not mysterious enough.”
