This week Harriet and Amy are joined by author and Vogue dating columnist, Annie Lord, to discuss how to go from the apps to first dates. How do you bring your full self to a first date? Are butterflies good or bad? And how do you make an exit if you’re just not feeling it?

Annie's book Notes on Heartbreak is available to buy in paperback, ebook and audiobook now.
