Today, I'm joined in studio with Jon Cooper, the founder and leader of @TinyTalksATX and the brand new "Pitch-A-Friend" dating event series, taking place in Austin, TX. First, we get a quick recap of the inaugural Austin event, followed by some updates and a quick promo for the next Pitch-A-Friend ATX event, taking place Thursday, October 10th. Following this, Jon & I discuss dating events as a whole... What makes a great dating event? How should one prepare to attend a dating event? What should they expect, and how high or low should expectations be? We also review some viral stories about dating event experiences gone wrong, and what the attendee or organizer could've done differently. This is a fun episode with a super dynamic guest, so be sure to tune in!

Your favorite gay man's favorite lesbian, Casey, is back from the Pink Pony Club to join us again in studio to answer your burning questions. Are "Eiffel Towers" gay, and is it incest if you do so with your uncle? How do you get your mom to stop calling your partner your "friend"? Should you say something if your close friend invites you, a bridesmaid, to her wedding solo despite being in a serious, committed relationship? Find out now by listening to this ep!

After a quick discussion on the Raygun scandal, Charlotte & Annabelle kick off the episode with a discussion on a viral TikTok video of Amber Kacherian's (@amberkacherian) date with a pyramid scheme recruiter. Are pyramid scheme scams making their way onto dating apps? What's the best way to sniff these out, and how do you best respond? We then hear a quick hit question... Does sending someone a "rose" on Hinge make you look "desperate"? And is a county fair a good place for a first date? When is the "right" time to ask for a second date? Is the "3-5 day rule" still valid in 2024? Is there such thing as "too soon"? Find out what we have to say!

Charlotte & Annabelle are BACK AGAIN, this time kicking the ep off with a discussion on "septum arms" and the Blake Lively/"It Ends With Us" Scandal. We then dive in to a discussion on euphemisms... What words and terms are "code" for something else? We also hear from a listener who accepted a date for later that evening, just to find herself on a very aggressive, sex charged date... Was the date set for that day the problem, or something else? Find out what we have to say!

Charlotte and Annabelle are BACK in studio, cracking open a Happi THC seltzer as we kick off the episode with a discussion on the piece on Ballerina Farm and the "Trad Wife" trend. Then we take a look at a viral Reddit post... Is there something "wrong" with telling a man he's "husband material"? Is that a compliment, or is it landing differently than intended? Sometimes the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Also, one listener asks... Why the hate for "girls night"? Are all "girls nights" and "guys nights" created equal? Does how we articulate our preferences say a lot about us?

Buddy is back AGAIN, and we're answering more of your dating questions after discussing what a "waffle stomp" is. Is there anything "wrong" with the "Figuring Out My Dating Goals" relationship intention on Hinge, and what does it REALLY mean? Is wanting to "take it slow" a genuine intention, or is it just a way to say they're not all that into you? And why would a man who doesn't own a dog have a pink leash in his backpack? Find out NOW.

I (Charlotte who was not present) got hit with an infection from toxic algae from getting into lake water. It sucked a lot, but these two don't. Anyway, your two fav cohosts come together and discuss Joe Rogan, how / when to give compliments, and a whole bunch of other stuff and are way cooler than me, so it's wicked fun.

Buddy is back AGAIN to help answer your burning dating questions. We take another dive into the "Who pays for the first date" debate, before sharing some of our top date ideas. Are cheap dates wrong? And is it wrong to only want to date people younger than you? Listen in and find out!

Buddy is back in studio to help answer your burning dating questions! We kick things off by discussing a new "trend" seen on Hinge -- users asking their dates to email them "proposals" of a date plan. Is this "cute", or just being a pain in the a$$? We then hear from a woman who is not too thrilled about a potential date's occupation... He's a chiropractor, and she thinks chiropractors are "quacks". We also hear from a listener who has been told to remove photos that include the American flag from his dating app profile... Is this "advice" reasonable, or just BS? Listen in to hear our takes!

Charlotte and Annabelle are BACK in studio! This time, we hear from a listener who receives a "Hey girlie" message -- aka, a message from someone from a new partner's past sending her a warning. How seriously should she take this message? Also, is there any significance to a romantic interest watching your Instagram stories? Is it ok to only want to date people under 30 if you're 30+?
