Serial Dater

Hi everyone! Welcome back to SERIAL DATER for Episode 4! In this episode, we wax philosophic about communication, talk about how texting has affected dating, get inundated with text messages, and see a celebrity! At least, as someone who is a liberal minded thirty-year-old, we consider him a celebrity.

A couple of announcements! If you've been enjoying the music heard on SERIAL DATER, you should definitely check out the amazing people who are behind it, the synthpop collective PROM DATE. And if you're in the Midwest/South, they're going on a huge tour this spring! Definitely go and check them out—they are the definition of rad!

Also, friend of the podcast and voice of the dates, Adam Enright, will be performing in NYC in June as part of 2SCOOPS, the recently reunited, entirely fictional 90's R&B Girl Group. You should follow them on Twitter and grab a ticket to their show at Joe's Pub. They are amazing! 

To read more hilarious interpretations of text messages, check out Katie Heaney's "Between The Texts" column on The Hairpin. I've linked to the earliest one here, but there are dozens more, so be sure to set aside a good chunk of time because these are hilarious. 

As always, any social media love you can give us makes us so, so, so happy! And we take it in any form, including Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, whatevr! See what I did there? Also, any ratings/reviews you have time to write on iTunes or Stitcher are also enormously appreciated! Thanks friends!

From Episode 4, the Threat of Text Message Misinterpretation System

Hey everybody! So glad to see you again! Unless this is your first time... I still feel like you should start with Episode 1, but you know what, I'm not going to tell you how to live your life. You do you.

So, Episode 3... Argyle. Oof. In this episode we talk about what makes for a bad date, some of our friends share their own dating war stories, we go on a short (but focused) rant about why writing is hard, and get love-shoved. 

As always, if you're a fan (even if you listen by coming to this web site and streaming or downloading the podcast) we'd super appreciate it if you'd take a few seconds to subscribe and/or leave a rating and review on iTunes and/or Stitcher. If you still have a few extra seconds and want to like our Facebook Page, follow and re-tweet us on Twitter, or do any other social media good-will, we will love you forever!

Welcome back, friends! If you're new, go listen to Episode 1 first, which is right underneath this post. Don't worry. We'll wait.

Okay, everyone up to speed? Great. It's time for episode 2: The Pilot! In this episode, we get into how important the other person's job is when it comes to dating, the definition of "rat-a-tat," and why "good on paper" guys get such a tough rap. It's going to be fun!

The Meeting Scale (for gays), as referenced in Episode 2 - The PIlot!

In the Spring of 2011, fueled by a mixture of imminent-grad-school induced senioritis and a therapist-encouraged carpe diem, I sort of accidentally went on five first dates in seven days. Join me as I take you on a journey through the highs and lows—okay, let's be honest, largely lows—of modern dating. This is SERIAL DATER.

Here is the goodbye scale I mentioned in Episode 1 - Bow Tie!
