What are the best texting practices? Opening liners for dating apps? Pen pal texting versus texting to meet in person? Double texting? Good morning texts?

Guest, Jon Bauer (@heyjb__), goes through it all with Patrick and Michaela on all things regarding “Rules of Engagement” on today’s episode.

Later, they answer a listener question on best and worst types of food for dinner dates. Does a messy cuisine make or break a date?

Another listener asks, “What does it mean when he makes our second date a double date and wants me to bring a single girlfriend for his friend?” Does this mean he’s trying to be casual? And when do we introduce our dates to our friends?
