  • Is It A Good Sign If A First Date Lasts a Long Time?

    On this week’s episode, Jared and Jordana start out with a very exciting Betches announcement plus discussions about Jordana’s love of moving and Jared’s Deux Moi fame.

A massage goes terribly wrong in the Awkward Sexual Encounter. Later, an emailer asks J&J what they think of marathon first dates. If her date had a good enough time to stay for 6 hours, why wouldn’t he want to go on a second date?
