Mailbag Monday! 💌 Jared answers three listener emails packed with relatable dating frustrations:

First, a listener wonders why guys keep asking for her Instagram handle before meeting in person. Jared breaks down the psychology behind this common dating app move and offers tips on politely setting boundaries without killing the vibe.

Next, a "too friendly gal" shares her discouragement after a ski trip turned awkward when a flirtation fizzled. Jared dives into the nuances of being friend-zoned, why it happens, and how to project romantic energy without changing who you are.

Finally, a listener asks if she should turn up the flirting with her new, reliable boyfriend. Jared provides advice on navigating the honeymoon phase and finding the balance between polite connection and playful chemistry.

Feather, feather! Tune in for Jared’s thoughtful advice, insightful dating takes, and, as always, plenty of laughs😂
