This week, the Orange chats with Samantha Keating, founder of Your Friend, My Friend, about running over 150 singles events across Ireland.

Welcome back to The Dating Orange!

Three women got in touch with me separately over the space of a few months, all describing different experiences with the same man from a dating app… and it was only when they started comparing notes that they realised they hadn’t just dated the same person, they had all been speaking to the same fake identity. Tune in this week as we ask who is behind Dr. Rudy Stein.

And yet, when it came time to meet him in real life, something always came up, something always went wrong… and eventually, after a bit of digging, the entire identity started to fall apart.
