Sharing My Truth

What questions should you really be asking when you’re dating someone new? And more importantly, what answers should make you pause?

In this episode of Sharing My Truth, Mel and Suzie dive into the dating questions that quietly reveal red flags. These are the questions that can tell you a lot about someone’s character, emotional maturity, and intentions long before you get too invested.

From how someone talks about their ex to their views on commitment, honesty, money, and responsibility, the answers can reveal more than people realize. The problem is many of us hear the red flags and still convince ourselves they don’t matter.

Why do people ignore obvious warning signs? Are women sometimes telling themselves they’re in control when they’re not? Are men overlooking behaviours that later become relationship disasters?

Mel and Suzie break down the red flag dating questions everyone should be asking early on, what certain answers might really mean, and how to tell the difference between a harmless quirk and a real relationship warning sign.

If you’ve ever looked back at a relationship and thought, I should have paid attention to that, this episode will hit home.

Dating has never been more talked about, yet more people feel confused, frustrated, and disconnected than ever before. So what’s actually going on?

In this episode, we unpack the growing tension between modern women and modern men. Are men feeling pushed aside? Are women overwhelmed by expectations they helped create? And here’s the harder question: are some women self-sabotaging while believing they’re fully in control?

We explore whether independence has strengthened relationships or quietly complicated them. Do women think they have more control in dating than they actually do? Are men stepping back because the rules feel unclear, stacked, or constantly shifting?

This conversation was sparked by a write-in from a listener that made us question who really holds the power in modern dating, and who might be struggling more than they admit.

We talk about shifting gender roles, financial pressure, dating apps, emotional expectations, standards, loneliness, and the uncomfortable truths on both sides.

This isn’t about blame. It’s about clarity.

If you’re a man trying to understand where you stand in today’s dating world, this episode will hit home. And if you’ve ever wondered whether modern dating has quietly created winners and losers, you’ll want to listen.

In this episode, we break down why men ghost after a date and what it really means when a guy suddenly pulls away without explanation. Is it fear of commitment? Too many options from dating apps? Emotional immaturity? Or was he simply not that invested?

We unpack the psychology behind ghosting, why men disappear after first and second dates, and the uncomfortable truths most women do not want to hear. We also talk about the difference between a man losing interest versus a man avoiding conflict and how to spot the signs early.

She wrote in asking the question so many women quietly wrestle with: Am I settling for the nice guy or holding out for the dream man?

We answered her story in a full episode, breaking down chemistry versus comfort, safety versus passion, and the pressure women feel to be grateful for “good enough.”

She listened, and now she’s writing back.

In this follow-up episode to Settling For The Nice Guy Or Waiting For The Dream Man: The Truth Women Don’t Say Out Loud, we share her honest reaction to our advice and how it made her rethink her dating patterns. Did she realize she was choosing safe over desire? Did our take change how she sees her relationship? Or did she disagree with us completely?

This is the real-time aftermath of dating advice. The part no one talks about. What happens after you hear the truth and it actually applies to you.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re being realistic or quietly settling, this conversation will hit close to home.

In this episode of Sharing My Truth, we dig into how porn is shaping modern dating, sex, and emotional intimacy. From delayed commitment and unrealistic expectations to performance anxiety and emotional disconnection, w explore why more men are opting out of real relationships and what that means for women trying to date in today’s landscape.

We talk honestly about how easy access to porn affects desire, attraction, and motivation to pursue real connection. Is porn rewiring intimacy? Is it changing how men view women, sex, and relationships? And where does this leave long-term partnership, trust, and emotional closeness?

This episode breaks down the psychological, emotional, and relational impact of how it is used, how it shows up in dating behavior, and why so many people feel frustrated, rejected, or disconnected in modern relationships. Whether you’re dating, in a relationship, or trying to understand shifting sexual dynamics, this conversation sheds light on what’s really going on beneath the surface.

If you’ve ever wondered why dating feels harder, intimacy feels off, or connection feels shallow, this episode will help you make sense of it.

Dating in your 30s can feel exhausting, especially when you’re a successful woman who has done the work, built a full life, and still keeps ending up in the same dating patterns. This episode is inspired by a write-in from a 32-year-old woman who is financially stable, emotionally aware, and completely burned out by dating and is quietly wondering if she’s the problem.

We read her message and talk openly about dating burnout for women in their 30s, why modern dating feels harder for successful women, and how repeated disappointments can start to feel personal. We unpack the pressure to stay positive, question your standards, or wonder if being too independent is working against you.

This is not an episode about self-blame or surface-level dating advice. It’s an honest conversation about dating fatigue, self-reflection without self-criticism, and what actually needs to shift when you’re doing everything “right” but dating keeps going the same way. If you’re a woman in your 30s who feels tired, frustrated, or stuck in dating, this write-in will feel uncomfortably familiar.

We asked our listeners one simple question: what is the one thing someone said on a date that instantly killed the vibe?

The answers were brutal.

From oversharing ex drama and financial confessions no one asked for, to “jokes” that were anything but funny, this episode dives into the real-life comments that turned promising dates into absolute no’s. Some were awkward, some were shocking, and a few were so bad we had to pause and ask, did they really say that out loud?

We break down why certain phrases are instant dealbreakers, what these comments actually signal underneath, and how to avoid sabotaging a date before the appetizers even arrive. If you’re dating, thinking about dating, or just love secondhand cringe, this one will make you laugh, wince, and rethink your go-to date stories.

Listen before your next date.

He hasn’t asked her. He’s just thinking about it and wondering if even thinking this makes him the asshole.

In this episode, we break down a relationship dilemma that’s more internal than confrontational. A man earns enough to comfortably support both himself and his girlfriend, and he’s debating whether it’s wrong to want her to quit her job. Not because she asked. Not because there’s a problem. Simply because he can afford it, and believes it might make their life easier.

We unpack what’s really going on beneath the surface: money, power, intention, and fear of how this question might land. Is wanting to provide a loving instinct, or does the thought itself cross into control before the conversation even starts?

This episode dives into financial roles in modern relationships, independence versus partnership, and why money conversations can feel so loaded before a single word is spoken.

If you’ve ever hesitated to bring up a sensitive topic because you were worried about how it would sound, this one’s for you.

He asked for an open relationship, expecting more freedom and more options. What followed was a harsh reality check.

In this episode, we break down what happens when couples open their relationship without fully understanding modern dating dynamics. We talk about open relationships, non-monogamy, dating apps, emotional boundaries, and why one partner often ends up thriving while the other struggles.

This episode is for anyone curious about open relationships, navigating modern dating, or questioning whether non-monogamy is a healthy choice or a risky experiment.

How long should you wait for marriage before it becomes a waste of time? In this episode, we break down the real cost of waiting for commitment and how to know if a relationship is actually moving toward marriage or just stuck in limbo.

We talk about waiting for a ring, mixed signals, and the common excuse of “soon.” We also unpack commitment issues, why some partners avoid marriage, and how fear, comfort, and convenience can keep a relationship going without real progress.

If you’re asking yourself whether to keep waiting, have the marriage conversation, or walk away, this episode helps you understand the signs, the red flags, and when waiting for marriage makes sense versus when it’s time to choose yourself.
