Welcome to this week's episode of Talk Rice To Me, join us as we break down the latest Gen Z slang trends, including viral terms like "demure," "aura," and other popular phrases. We explore the best ways to meet new people today, from run clubs to music festivals, and dive into the tricky situation of shooting your shot at a run club and facing rejection—should you keep going or walk away? We compare meeting people at music festivals, rec leagues, and intramural sports, debating which is better for finding potential dates. We also discuss why run clubs and rec sports might be better than dating apps for sparking connections and whether it’s true that you’re more likely to meet your significant other through your network. Finally, we ask if you’d cut ties with a terrible friend after setting them up with another friend. Tune in for advice on modern dating and friendships!
