60. Will You Accept This Hinge Rose?

Alex and I dive into persistent dating app woes – is there any way to send a Rose or a Super Like without coming across as desperate? How do you deal with the ego hit of getting rejected by someone you weren’t even into in the first place? Is it a dealbreaker if your match (or coworker) won’t stop casually mentioning masturbation? And what new challenges arise when you finally meet someone IRL?

48. 10s Seeking An 11

This week I interview Emily Hacker, host of OK So, I Met This Guy podcast, about the fundamental question that inspired Interstates & Heartbreak – Is dating in LA the worst? We unpack the dating challenges specific to a place best described as “a city of 10s seeking an 11,” including the unavoidable male archetypes, why people are more likely to cancel date plans, and the very real struggle of traffic when you’re attempting to traverse the city for back to back dates.
