Jeans And A Nice Top

This week, we're talking about becoming FBI agents - lol, not really, but information gathering by checking out prospective (or past) lovers' social media accounts. We all do it, and honestly if you don't go too deep it can be a good way to prep yourself for a date - especially if their app profile isn't giving you much.

Ash and Mel talk through their dating-FBI tips, from how to suss if that hot barista has a bf/gf, to figuring out their IG account when all you have is a first name. Plus, when being a genius FBI boss works AGAINST you - ahem, yes we are talking about googling your ex.

Ah yes, video chat. A necessary evil in these unprecedented times, it's safe to safe most of us have spent a lot of time looking at ourselves on screens during the past 18 months. Between Google Hangouts meetings for work and Zoom trivia nights with mates, we are spending an increasing number of hours connecting with others via video while we are socially distanced.

For some, they drew the line at video dating, writing it off as devoid of genuine connection and downright awkward. But can they be... actually a bit of fun? In this episode, we give some advice on how to date digitally.

Plus, you can find Tom Ford's guide to looking good on camera here. Thanks, Tom.

A big part of starting a relationship with someone is attraction, but as most of us can attest, being attracted to someone runs so much deeper than just looks. 

When we talk about attraction, many of us immediately jump to the conclusion of sexual attraction. You know, that tear each other's clothes off kind of attraction. It's the one we hear the most about, but surprisingly, there are a number of different types of attraction. In this episode, we discuss the different types to decide exactly how important initial attraction is when it comes to meeting your match.

Anyone out there lost their mojo? Whether you're just not feeling yourself (and therefore not on your dating A-game) or your libido's left the building, it definitely feels like we're all out here struggling to vibe ourselves rn - figuratively and literally.

We chat with certified sex coach Georgia Grace about why our mojo's AWOL, and how to get it back. You can follow Georgia on Instagram here.

A chat can fizzle out for a million reasons. Life gets in the way, replies get forgotten. You might be busy with work. Maybe you have the notifications turned off for dating apps. Or perhaps, you're just plain fatigued from living through a pandemic.

But if you're keen to pick back up where you left off, it can be done–regardless of who replied last. In this episode, we discuss how to flip a fizzled convo into a spark.

This week we're talking strategic dating, after Ash read this brilliant Guardian piece by Katie Cunningham, who chatted to Rebekah Campbell, a high-flying businesswoman who decided to use her business strategies... and apply them to dating. Can a dating strategy help you find love? Or is it a one-way ticket to being too picky?

You can buy Rebekah's book on her dating journey, 138 Dates, here.

We're back!!! Lockdown couldn't hold us down (read: we were really bored and had a lot of time on our hands). To kick off season 3, we're talking about singleness. Like, that DEEP singleness where you feel like everyone's moved on without you, you've dated the entire pool of dates, and you're just over it. During COVID it can hit real hard, especially if you're currently in lockdown. We've been there, and we're here to chat everything from being the third wheel (do it, it's good) to ensuring you don't fall into deep cynicism.

For our season 2 finale, we're discussing closure. We've all craved it, whether it's from a long-term relationship that went south, or a short dating stint that fizzled out of nowhere. But is what you want "closure", or something else?

The DM slide is an art form. It's also on the rise as a way to ask someone out, not just over for a hook up. In this week's episode, we chat with Search Engine Sex podcast host Rowdie Walden about the do's and don't's of DM slides - plus share plenty of our own nightmare failures.
