Almost every one of my match making setups done by my friends ended in disaster. However, you ladies seem to have a more scientific approach to the matter. Nonetheless, I think the best things happen when you are not trying to look for that special someone, and you touched on that.
As usual, love your podcasts! Will there be a live podcast sometime in the future, say in DC this year?
As a single (divorced) woman who is *not* dating, I was slightly apprehensive about hearing the “hard truths” & “tough love” of today’s dating scene. But I should’ve known better! Emily & Bethany’s advice isn’t sugar-coated, but it’s still palatable. My key takeaways from this episode are: dating sucks, and don’t d*ck around.
Thank you, ladies! I appreciate your bluntness and spirit of helpfulness. Your yenta-ing is a real vocation & that’s what makes all the difference. Looking forward to volume 2 in the future!
