Ever walked into a date and knew within five minutes you’d rather be anywhere else? We’ve been there—too many times. From an unwanted front-yard kiss to a hinge coffee marathon where he didn’t stand up, didn’t offer to pay, and let the door slam behind him. We share raw, funny, and painfully real dating stories and extract the lessons that actually make love less chaotic. We also unpack exact signs someone isn’t into you—slow replies without context, group-only invites after clear interest, closed-off body language—and why honest no’s are kinder than drawn-out maybes.

To keep it lively, we run a rapid-fire “They’re a 10, but…” obsessed with Taylor Swift, hours-long gaming every night, can’t cook to save their life, shadow boxing in public, and the ultimate ick—air guitar. We even own our mess: ghosting, bullying-the-crush banter, and losing all flirt power when the stakes feel real. And to wrap it all up we end with the most unhinged version of "We listen a we don't judge!"

If you laughed, winced, or picked up a new green flag, hit follow, share this with a friend who needs a dating reset, and leave a quick rating or review so more people can find the show. Your stories next?

So romantic. So lovely.

SPEAKER_06

I don't even know.

SPEAKER_04

Is it first dates or just dates?

SPEAKER_06

Just dates in general. Until you one that was really awkward. I guess that I don't know if like worse. Speak your truth is the way to put it. But there was this guy I was talking to, and we were talking for a little bit, and it was long distance. So our first date, he drove down to pick me up. He pick he like planned the date, which I was really I'm like, okay, he he picked the place, he went to like pick me up and then long distances in how long? Like he lived in West Virginia. Oh across state lines for Harry Gray. Okay, it's broad.

unknown

It's broad.

SPEAKER_06

Is that oh sorry? No. That's right. States are allowed to be set. Okay, cool. So yeah, it was pretty far. And so he came, he planned it, he picked me up, everything. The day went pretty well, but at the end, when he dropped me off, it was like he he went in for like this awkward hug, and like you could tell that he was like leaning in for a kiss. And then he kissed me first date on the first date. He kissed me. First date. Yes, he kissed me on our first date. And this is in like the this is in like my front yard. How dare you! In my front yard, my family is in the house, like right now. Probably watching. Probably watching. Probably watching. And I didn't know what to do with it.

SPEAKER_02

One of their siblings was watching.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. One of them was, I'm sure. And I didn't know what to do. And I was just in shock. And he was like, okay, bye. And I was like, bye. And then I just went back in the house, like, what just happened? Did you go out with him again? No.

SPEAKER_08

Okay.

SPEAKER_06

No, I did not. So that was a very awkward date that I went on. And I don't wish that on anybody. Thank you for sharing your truth. I know that was hard for you. Thank you.

SPEAKER_09

Try not to cringe challenge. We are failing.

SPEAKER_04

The Bar Insult Story And Confidence

SPEAKER_09

I don't. This isn't technically dating relations related because I never ever ever ever ever dated this guy. But the only thing I could think about was, and I've told this story before when I was a bartender, this guy would come up to the bar, like he was a regular, and he started to try to like hit on me. Then he would like try to ask me out, and I would be like, No, can't, I can't do that. Like, this is my place of work, you know, and everything. And he all of a sudden was so offended, like you would have thought I just like punch him in his face. And he was like, Oh, well, you're not the type of girl people marry, anyways. You're the type of girl that I would marry and then divorce. And he was like, I don't know if you know this, but I'm a 10, you're a too.

SPEAKER_10

Literally. For our listeners who have never seen Tyree, Tyree is a 10.

SPEAKER_11

Like, I'm actually like, That's actually so offensive.

SPEAKER_05

And if you see a picture of this guy, that isn't it. You're not to be rude, but that guy was. Right. He was even a one. He dislikes it. He's even around.

SPEAKER_09

First of all. I'm not a 10.

SPEAKER_05

He's too modest guys. We're gonna do it.

SPEAKER_10

But you know what's so funny about two is that's such a low number that it's funny because you're like, well, that can't be true.

SPEAKER_09

I am so like bad at any type of confrontation. I genuinely think I blacked out. Like, I don't remember my response to that at all.

SPEAKER_04

All she saw was red.

SPEAKER_09

I was like, oh eggs, easy.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09

And to call me a two in front of like a bar full of people, I was like, that's crazy. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_04

That is incredibly like that's incredible. I don't think I could do that.

SPEAKER_06

It's insane for anybody to call Tyree a two, but especially when you see a picture of him, it's like, okay.

unknown

All right.

SPEAKER_06

Come on, this was even you're just making stuff up.

SPEAKER_10

You're just making stuff up. Quite literally.

SPEAKER_09

Literally made me like I just started sweating immediately. I was like, what is going on? I've never been in a part of a conversation like that.

SPEAKER_03

I've never been part of a conversation like this where I've been called a two.

SPEAKER_10

Okay. Like legitimately, what's that need? Like the two is like if somebody said that to me, I think I I would rather be called a two than a five. You know what I mean? Absolutely. Like five? That's like two middle to run that it's like you're like, you could be high. It could be true.

SPEAKER_03

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_10

I agree. But like a two, I'm like, well, surely I can't be true. I gotta be at least a bull party. That's what I was thinking.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, maybe.

SPEAKER_09

Or I'm like, oh, that sucks.

SPEAKER_04

See, the thing is, do you think anybody thinks that they're a two, though?

SPEAKER_09

Well, that's what I was thinking. I was like, did he just call me a two? Also, is that accurate?

SPEAKER_10

I think people who are like would admit that there are two or say there are two, like, have two energy.

SPEAKER_08

Two energies. I feel you're doing that. Like, any gray? That's actually no.

SPEAKER_04

The only kind of guy, uh like in my I feel like the only kind of guy that would say he's a two is like a pick me boy, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_10

Yeah, yeah. And it's like any anything like three below pick me energy.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, four, gray area, five, it's kind of like the manager of the restaurant the manager of the restaurant. I went and I told him, and he like went over to the guy who's like, hey, you can't just say that you can't just say that he was so rude, and he was a bad tipper. Makes it even worse. Anyways, that's my drama and horror story.

Sushi Date Fail And The Post-Valentine Text

SPEAKER_04

Oh, I'll go next. I guess my worst date. I don't think I've had a bad date, any bad dates. My worst one was probably the first one I ever went on. My sister set me up with this girl. And it was kind of like a blind date. Like my sister set me up with her because they worked with her. She was a nice girl. We went out, but they were like, oh, they were like, oh, David, take her to this sushi place. It's really nice, like blah blah blah. I was like, okay, yeah, we can do this, blah blah blah. I take her there. Guess what? She doesn't like.

SPEAKER_09

No. Sushi. Sushi.

SPEAKER_04

She hates sushi. She didn't get a single thing.

SPEAKER_09

I'm like, She didn't eat at all?

SPEAKER_04

No, not at all.

SPEAKER_09

You didn't offer a lot of things on the house. You didn't offer to go somewhere else?

SPEAKER_04

I asked, I was like, we can go somewhere else.

SPEAKER_09

Oh, right.

SPEAKER_04

It was also my first time going out with anybody.

SPEAKER_10

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. I did. I I did drive.

SPEAKER_05

By yourself? How?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

SPEAKER_09

My bad. Honestly, if I was 15 and this guy comes and picks me up in a core. In a core? In a core?

SPEAKER_02

In a core sushi.

SPEAKER_10

I was on my life sushi. She was. Surely not like a two.

SPEAKER_03

Certainly not a two is crazy.

SPEAKER_04

But yeah, no, I think she was nice, but I think we both were like, we I dropped her off at her house, and I was like, yeah, we should totally do this again. She's like, yeah, but it was both kind of like the way we said it. We were like, yeah.

SPEAKER_09

No. It's not happening again. You both knew in that moment.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I think we both knew. Great. Great girl. She's really cool. We ended up being friends after, but it wasn't all that awkward. Well, it was, but I was like, so what do you what do you want? She goes, I don't like sushi. I was like, what?

SPEAKER_10

I really like the cover.

SPEAKER_04

I was like, what?

SPEAKER_10

Really great girl, super nice. Took her out on Sunday instead of Valentine's Day, I took her out the day after. To a nice like Italian restaurant. She really loved Italian, so I was like, you know what? I'll take her out then. Got her some really nice flowers, blah blah blah. Hung out like the whole day. And then as soon as I leave that night, I'm driving home and she you know and I sent a text. I was like, so when can we hang out next? Or when can I see you next? Like both whatever. Then she goes, Oh, we need to talk. And I immediately I'm like crap. I'm like, oh I'm cooked. Like I I because I think everybody knows, like, when somebody says that, you know, it's bad. It's bad.

SPEAKER_05

SPEAKER_09

It's gonna be weird. I'm gonna hit the slopes.

SPEAKER_10

I do indeed have one goodness. That's it. Speak your truth, speak your truth. Uh mine was a bad hinge date.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_10

These are my favorite stories. Why is Gracie cheering? She was witness, bore witness to it. Oh I was there. She bore witness. I was there, man. So it was, yeah, bad hinge date. We had like talked on on hinge for like probably a month.

SPEAKER_04

A month?

SPEAKER_10

Or two, two months. Two before even then meeting up in person. Like, whatever. That's crazy. Um seemed like a chill dude. I honestly didn't know the vibe. I was like, I don't think I'm gonna know until like I meet him in person, and like we go out. It was just kind of like a okay, like get to know you kind of thing, vibe it out, whatever. So he asked me out, and he lived a certain distance away, so he came across the water.

SPEAKER_02

Water.

SPEAKER_04

A nod specific.

SPEAKER_10

A nod specific distance from the location you do not know we're at. Oh and so we met up for coffee, and of course, hinge date. So I got Gracie and her boyfriend to come along. Amazing. They scoped out outside the area.

SPEAKER_04

Her boyfriend's a unit, so I'd feel safe with him there.

SPEAKER_09

Absolute unit who loves gale. Unit that loves Gale.

SPEAKER_10

I just found out this week. How do you feel? Sorry. And it's your so go on the date or whatever, he gets there first. I walk in, and so I walk in like he's sitting at the table already, already has his coffee. I won't get the man doesn't even stand up at the table when I walk in. Which I'm like, if you think you know my father. If you know me, the second I told him he didn't stand up, he was like, oh no, no, no, scamp, no, he got coffee without you?

SPEAKER_09

No, yeah, he got his coffee.

SPEAKER_10

And I was like, okay, yeah, sure. And I was like, you know what? Hinge date, I guess. I don't know, you know, like whatever. May I interject. Didn't even offer to buy her coffee. Like did not stand up when I went to get my coffee is like did not stand up when I got to the table. Did not did not go like let me walk up with you. I was like, I'm gonna grab something to drink. He was like, okay. And then I went to get it and I was like, should I just walk out?

SPEAKER_02

You should have had Gracie like at your hands.

SPEAKER_10

Go back to the table, like, can I get your wallet? So sorry, I think I left my card in your wallet in your pocket. Is that in? You got Cash App. You will receive a VM request after this. No, and so the whole time we're talking, and I this is for me, this is a pet peeve of like, if I have to drive the entire conversation, I refuse. Like, I'm already, I think off the bat when I meet people, I'm generally way more quiet than I become once I'm your friend. And I'm just like, it's me like getting acclimated, you know, whatever. And so first meeting off rip, it's a situation where I'm like, I know like the situation I'm in, so I'm like, I'm twice as awkward. So I'm just trying to like, you know, throw anything out there. And he's just like, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Which uh what's your favorite door handle?

SPEAKER_02

Oh that's a call out that's that we will come back to you later.

SPEAKER_07

Oh, that was homeland. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_10

No, I forgot. Okay, sorry. No, and so like the whole date was so awkward, mind you, and this is my fault, I will own up to it, so you don't have to. Gracie said she was my out. She was like, if you need to get out, you send like a random word or whatever, I will call you and you act like you have emergency believe. I wanted to do that about 40 minutes into the date. 40? That's long. Minutos? I was there for three hours. Three hours.

SPEAKER_09

Three hours talking to a brick wall.

SPEAKER_07

Yo. Yes, you also was there for three hours in the parking lot. I texted her in there, and I was like, hey, like, you good? Like, I'll call. She goes, nope, we're good. And I was like, Oh, it's in my head. I'm like, okay, yes. I even sent him in there to go buy a coffee or a muffin. He got went like bought like a muffin and came back and goes, they were they're chatting, okay? And I was like, That's the thing.

SPEAKER_10

What was so weird was like, I felt like I was driving the conversation and there's little pockets of like, okay, we're talking more now, and then it was dead silence, and he was just like looking at me. And I was like, Why are you just staring, brother?

SPEAKER_09

Like, I was like, he's perceiving you. I don't like that.

SPEAKER_10

He's holding you, he's beholding you, he's beholding my presence in this coffee shop. And so, like, it finishes up, and I was just like, I gotta find a way to end this. And so we get up to leave three hours later. Three hours later. Because I literally, I skip like strategically scheduled it to where I was like, this is like this coffee shop will close at this time. And so I could use the excuse of like, ah, you know, food service, we should leave early for fun, you know, to help them out. You know, whatever. And I just had no backbone and was like, I'm just gonna sit here for this. Um, so we get up to Lee, walks out, does not no door hold, just passes it behind himself too. The bars on the basement releases it to where it almost could have hit me if I had not caught it. The bar's in the basement. Now that's just disrespect. This is my favorite part. The bars underseating. He turns me, he's like, uh, let me walk you to your car. And then he walks up, and my car was like two rows away from his, walks up to the back of his car, and he's like, Well, it was good. And I was like, Yeah, nice to meet you. And then he didn't walk me the rest of the way. He just kind of was like, Well, see ya, like at the end of his across. I was like, brother! What did he drive? You don't even have to say he drove a CRV.

SPEAKER_11

CRV? ID. CRV. He was in Michigan. Derogatory.

unknown

Derogatory.

SPEAKER_02

Derogatory.

SPEAKER_07

Also, we vlogged this entire thing. So I have I have footage from the night before for being like, I'm nervous. I have butterflies.

SPEAKER_10

And then I just never once did I say butterflies. I said I was nervous because I was meeting a man on hinge. Maybe it was throw up. It wasn't up. It was a bomb, okay.

SPEAKER_07

Anyway, so I will I have a video of him passing the door. Call a camera.

SPEAKER_09

Was this the guy that you unintentionally matched with too? Like, weren't you guys wearing similar outfits?

SPEAKER_10

They were with things, oh yes, yeah. We we accidentally kind of matched. We both were wearing like things with like stripes. Also, mind you, it was I you might have cut this. I traditionally I'm not a fan of a blonde man. Like, that's not that's not my type. Why would we have to cut that? And I know you can't. For the girls that love blonde men. For the girls, speaker truth. No, and there's it's a case-by-case basis, admittedly. But at this point, I was just like, you know, I don't really know. We'll see in person. And I like, mind you, long blonde hair. And I was like, yeah, no. Yeah, yeah, no. Yeah, no, I know myself. No, I'm it's a pass for me. It's a pass for me. Very good. But that was yeah. So if you're not vibing on a date, leave. Don't sit there for three hours. Awkwardness. Steep in it. That's why.

SPEAKER_09

Stay.

SPEAKER_04

Time to get out of here, you know.

Very good, very good. Wonderful. I was thinking a lot, and I do not have a story, so I'm just gonna tell something else. There was like an interesting situation that happened where Brooks dropped the ball in being my brother. So who don't know, Brooks is my brother, so Really? No, yeah. Crazy. So there's this guy I really liked in Youth Group, and I was like, oh my gosh, you could never like me.

unknown

Yeah, exactly.

Clear Signs They’re Not That Into You

SPEAKER_05

I was like, he could never like me. This was at my old church, not the one we go to now. And we would do this thing called prayer journey where you'd go around to people like you don't know and like pray for them, but you didn't get to choose, like they lined you up, and it was like the most awkward thing because you don't know the person. And so I got a lot like matched with him or whatever, so you have to be there for like 15 minutes and like share something and pray for each other or whatever, which was just so awkward, like the most awkward situation ever. Anyway, everything was just fantasized in my mind, like, oh, I wish they could like me. A year later, I'm talking to Brooks about it, admitting this, and he's like, Oh my gosh, he literally asked me, he was like, I like Kenna. Do you have her number? No Brooks said, No, I don't have her number. And Brooks said, nah, I don't know her number and walked away. Right. So I I mean you strangled me. So wait, wait, wait. So I I can't even remember where we were, but I like shot up out of my bed, like, you're kidding me. You did not do that. I was like, You are you serious? I was like freaking out. I was so mad at him. In retrospect, looking back, I was 14 and this guy was 17.

SPEAKER_10

You were almost a victim.

SPEAKER_03

Almost, she was.

SPEAKER_11

I knew 13-year-old.

SPEAKER_03

No, your brother.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, Romeo and D. Okay.

SPEAKER_05

So that was the twist in the story. But I just can't believe like I went through 15 minutes of an awkward prayer and all this, like, does he like me? Does he not? To find out a year later he did like me, but Ed Brooks never told me. And then the age gap thing uh sunk into it.

SPEAKER_09

Did you know he was 17 when you liked him, or did you find that? I did. Which is all right, which is why he was an older man.

SPEAKER_11

Which is why I was like, you could never like me like Are you listening?

SPEAKER_05

Brian, which is why I was like, he could never like me, right? Because he's gonna off to college soon and I'm it freaking like feels felt like middle school, but so you know.

SPEAKER_11

I fear to see her. I know. I so thank you.

SPEAKER_09

I feel your pain because when I was a uh I think it was an eighth grader, I had a crush on a guy that he was like a junior in high school. He went down the street from me. And all a bunch of the neighborhood kids would like gather together. This is actually really embarrassing. We would always gather together, and like some of the little kids would play and stuff like that, and the older kids would like play with the younger kids. And this was when he was going through like he was on the like the wrestling team. Oh no. And so he brought out his like wrestling mat and stuff like that, and he would like wrestle the kids and stuff like that. And you thought that was hot and stuff like that. No, no, he's 10.

SPEAKER_00

This sounds like a case, dude.

SPEAKER_08

Stop!

SPEAKER_00

Dude, Gracie's amazing.

SPEAKER_08

That was an eighth grade, okay.

SPEAKER_11

Wait, let her finish.

SPEAKER_09

I don't know how we got here, but I think I like challenged him.

SPEAKER_11

What? Okay, stop.

SPEAKER_03

Gracie's standing up on the couch and looking so much distress.

SPEAKER_11

Wrestling, and he gave me a concussion. You wrestled him. He gave you a concussion? You said you were in the eighth grade? Oh my god.

SPEAKER_09

He was like wrestling a bunch of the other like neighborhood dudes and stuff like that. What was his weight class?

SPEAKER_06

He gave me a concussion. What was his weight class?

SPEAKER_11

It was a twig. 165. 16. And he wrestled a girl in the middle.

SPEAKER_09

Featherweight and gave her a concussion. He was like wrestling all the time.

SPEAKER_06

And did you still like him after that? But that still sounds a little sketchy. That he was wrestling all the kids. That's weird. That's weird.

SPEAKER_04

He's gotta be on the list.

SPEAKER_05

That whole that whole story made me so uncomfortable. Well, like his younger brother was my own.

SPEAKER_01

I don't think anybody would say a worse story than that.

SPEAKER_11

Good job, Tyree. No clapping. I made the list. No, no, Ty, I got concussions.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, Tyree, you're not on the list, but he might be on the list. Okay.

SPEAKER_06

Tyree, were you like he didn't give anybody else a concussion? That was just repeating.

SPEAKER_00

Tyree's like, you can give me a concussion anytime.

SPEAKER_08

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_10

Going around and like Tyree gets up off the mat and it's like favoring one side heavily. She's like, great, I'll feel it.

SPEAKER_02

Oh he was like, he was really nice about it though.

SPEAKER_09

He was like, I don't want to hurt you, like finding a girl or whatever.

SPEAKER_11

Okay, stop. I don't think he knew that he gave me a concussion.

SPEAKER_09

Stop on your head. No. I don't think he knew that he gave me a concussion because he was like checking. He was like, are you alright? And I was like, yeah. Like, went home.

SPEAKER_08

I just went home. I was like, I think my mom, I think my mom called me. I have to go home.

SPEAKER_04

She ran home, went to her diary. She's like, that time when she wrote it, she thought it looked great. Next couple days, she looked back, she's like, what the heck am I wrong? Chicken scratch. It's like chicken scratch. Dude.

SPEAKER_05

Oh my gosh. That is insane. 16-year-old that is 106 in resident.

SPEAKER_03

Give me a concussion today. That's the president.

SPEAKER_11

JFK. Should we move on to segment two? So sorry. Yes, I agree.

SPEAKER_04

I think we should move on to segment two. Uh signs somebody doesn't like you.

SPEAKER_09

So speaking of your amazing hinge date, Morgan. Yeah. What is well, like, what are some signs that somebody's just not that into you? I think when they don't pay for your coffee or stand up to shake your hands, or walk you to your car.

Who Pays On The First Date

SPEAKER_05

Or when they decide to wrestle you on a mat. Okay.

SPEAKER_10

I'm going to regress saying that the rest of my life.

SPEAKER_02

Yes.

SPEAKER_10

I'm never opening my mouth again. I personally, like, one that I wrote down was like when they're not, like, they're speaking, but they're but like they're not facing you. What? But not recognizing. No, like when they're like, when you're talking to somebody and you have like their bodies like oriented towards you while they're talking. So like there's like stuff where like when you're sitting down and somebody's knees are facing you, or like their feet or something like that, their bodies fall. But if you're like talking to somebody and their like feet are like pointed around or something like that, or like their knees are changed this like showers.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10

When I'm mad, my knees toward the door.

SPEAKER_04

Towards the car the passenger car.

SPEAKER_10

If they're hitting the demi-labato knees, they have to pee. That's a good one.

SPEAKER_09

That's one that I'm like, oh. Yeah, very psych, very psych.

SPEAKER_04

That's pretty clear. I mean, other than obvious, are we gonna say like obvious ones?

SPEAKER_09

You can say whatever you want, as long as it relates to it.

SPEAKER_04

Wait, because like obviously, like, oh, they don't they they wait hours to text you. Because like for me, I make it pretty straightforward. I work a lot, so I'm not able to take personal text or phone calls when I'm at work. But when I can, I do try to take those. So if I can't answer you for a couple hours, that's straight up. But when I know that you're not doing anything like all day and you wait like six hours to reply, that's how I know. I don't think that person's really that into me.

SPEAKER_10

Or like not attempting to talk to you. I mean, back to the case.

SPEAKER_04

Like if you're at not trying to talk to somebody, or like yeah, like if you're at work or if you're at school or you know, like in class or something like that, I get that.

SPEAKER_05

No, you can have an excuse and an apology, but if it's a consistent thing, then you don't have to.

SPEAKER_04

If it's a consistency thing, be like, oh sorry, I was just, you know I was petting my dog. I'm just kind of doing stuff.

SPEAKER_09

I'm like washing my hair.

SPEAKER_04

Like, even if you're like, oh sorry, I was at my dorm doing school, or oh sorry, I was working out, or something like that. Dude, you're on your phone. You can take like a minute at most to text back. At least let me know.

“They’re A 10 But…” Rapid Fire

SPEAKER_09

Adding anybody in here because good. I'm not adding anybody in here. I'm a terrible texter, I'll admit that. I'm I'm a bad texter. I admit that. I will ignore your text and repost something on Instagram.

SPEAKER_10

So meet you, and I'm dead serious. I have a text that it just sent me yesterday from two months ago. Did never answered. And I forgot about it. And I guess what? I will haven't answered how to go back to it.

SPEAKER_04

Sometimes I will I will not answer your text. I'll send you a reel.

SPEAKER_05

And he's not only, but he does. It's different if you're interested in that person. That's how you're talking about it. Oh, of course, of course. Don't do that to somebody who you like.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, of course. You gotta like strategically think about it.

SPEAKER_10

Also, hear me out. They tell you they don't like you. Oh, yeah. That's a good sign.

SPEAKER_05

That's hard for some people to comprehend, though, somehow. That's what I'm saying. I also say they might not comprehend that. I agree.

SPEAKER_04

If they're not comfortable hanging out with you, like if they only want to hang out with you in group settings. I I just feel like that means they don't like you.

SPEAKER_10

I could say okay, I say conditionally. Like if you express interest in them and they only want to hang out with you in group settings and not at least like one-on-one. Or not communicate it, I'd say. Yeah. Like I feel like for me, like I want to get to know somebody in a group setting, but then once I'm like interested in them, if they want to hang out, I'll be like, yeah, or if I need more time to kind of assess the vibe of the group.

SPEAKER_05

If they want to get to know you as friends before it's like a dating, like, because then it's a thing and you have to break it.

SPEAKER_04

But if you're getting to know each other in a group and want to hang out, if you're getting to know each other, yeah, but like I feel like if you've gotten to a point to where you know you guys know each other well enough, and then you're like, hey, maybe we should go out sometime or something like that. Like, no, I think we should all we should all go out.

SPEAKER_05

Like, I feel like I I think Oh, you're saying like they asked you on a date and they're like, oh yeah, let's all go hang out. Yeah, like let's all go hang out. They don't like you then.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Something like that. Yes. Because I've used that before. Right, right, right, right.

SPEAKER_08

We should all go get a movie. Yeah, we should all hang out. Yeah, all of the movies. We should all go ice skating on our own. We all go get that up, okay?

SPEAKER_04

Oh, it's like, oh yeah, we should we should, you know, go out sometime.

SPEAKER_08

You and me should go get sushi. Yeah, we should all go.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I'll go ask the gang. Yeah, I'll go ask everybody if they were like.

SPEAKER_10

Scoob. Scoob.

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_05

Alright, alright, Gracie, go ahead.

SPEAKER_10

What's your what's your signs that you've got? If you have one. Things that you could have used to show people you were not interested in them, too. It could be other people.

SPEAKER_04

It could have been used on you or you used to be.

SPEAKER_07

I ghost them.

unknown

Oh.

SPEAKER_03

I know I'm usually the stickler to not.

SPEAKER_02

To the point, to the point. Hey, man, no.

SPEAKER_08

And saying it's healthy.

SPEAKER_09

I I think my, I guess, like sign they're not like I when somebody doesn't ask follow-up questions. Like if I'm always like, hi, how are you? Good.

SPEAKER_04

Bricky. Like one word answers. Short one-word answers. Oh, I hate that. I hate that.

SPEAKER_09

But I like a man who asks follow-up questions.

SPEAKER_04

I will say, I will say sometimes in my experience, there's been like girls I've talked to who have not only been short like that, some of them are just not good at talking. You know what I mean? Like, if I have to carry the encounter conversation. Kind of.

SPEAKER_10

And like that's something that it made me think of this just real quick. But I remember in college a couple of our friends, we like played the game where it's like four tires in a spare. And so it's four like non-negotiable things that you're like, I want like a future spouse or like future like boyfriend, girlfriend to have as a characteristic or trait. And then the spare is something that you're like, it's not a necessity, but I like ideally I would like this. Right. And one of mine was like good at conversation, like a good, like something like a people person that's very good at your spare or you're like muscle. That's her tire. That's one of my tires. Like that. Or like family oriented, or something like that, you know. Yeah. But that's one of those things where it's like, yeah. That's not true. I think you can have a successful relationship. Right.

SPEAKER_04

If you can't uh conversate, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10

Like to me, I'm like, maybe we don't have chemistry that way. Exactly, yeah. Good, good. That's the one. And Gracie's visibly laughing at me. No, it's good. It's a good idea.

SPEAKER_04

I feel like Gracie is a part of like the I hate my boyfriend thing. What?

SPEAKER_09

I literally just said nothing.

SPEAKER_10

He just likes Gale. He'll come around. Wait till he loves him. He's gonna come around.

SPEAKER_11

I'm no coming.

SPEAKER_03

It's only for that reason, too.

SPEAKER_10

She's just she's just not a boyfriend. Laser. Laser. And you know what I'm talking about. You know, when it's like when people over the top of like everything.

SPEAKER_04

That is a little weird.

SPEAKER_10

I'm like, okay.

SPEAKER_07

I don't have to do that. He's a great person.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, you're so curious. I'm saying that's very attractive, yes.

SPEAKER_10

Okay, okay, David. We don't have to be a good question. Hey, if you're listening, we need to all talk to David. Run, my brother, run.

SPEAKER_04

If you are listening, please talk to me.

SPEAKER_05

Okay. No, no, next. If they're not, like, if you're asking the questions and they're not ever coming up to you starting conversation, they don't like you. Because they don't want to be they would want to be around you, right?

SPEAKER_06

If you're not being pursued in any way, like, then it's just obvious that better not then into you.

SPEAKER_10

Amen, amen. Or if it's sorry, last thing. I feel like Morgan is you are the yappiest yappy of us all.

SPEAKER_07

Oh, I know. Imagine, hold on. Time out. Imagine being in a dorm room. Okay. And you're trying to sleep, and you're this is constantly. Also, and I'm like, Morgan, I'm turning over now. All the time. And she's like, wait, one more thing. And I'm like, Morgan, I'm turning over now. One more thing. And then I go. Alright, alright.

SPEAKER_05

Segment three.

SPEAKER_07

They're 10. They prefer Gail over Pinot. What's your answer? Gracie, they're a 10! Good answer. We're gonna answer.

SPEAKER_05

Good answer. Let's just rapid fire if each one has a prompt. Yeah. And then we can give our answer. You're gonna start?

SPEAKER_04

Yes. Go ahead. They're at 10, but they're obsessed with Taylor Swift.

unknown

Oh.

SPEAKER_10

Oh. Wrong audience. Here, they're at 11 now.

SPEAKER_05

Right.

SPEAKER_11

It's a good one.

SPEAKER_05

Who is that? Taylor Swift, that's strong audience.

SPEAKER_09

I'm gonna say eight.

SPEAKER_10

Death Glaragon.

SPEAKER_07

It's okay. What?

SPEAKER_10

That's an okay number to drop too.

SPEAKER_07

Okay, I'll take an eight.

SPEAKER_05

No, you can say two. I think I would say six. I don't think I would like if my guy was into that. Okay personally. If he liked it enough, like he liked the thing.

SPEAKER_04

But if he's like, if he says you're saying a woman for you. If he says I personally obsessed with Taylor Swift, I think that's like.

SPEAKER_05

I'm not gonna lie, I think Swifties are a little annoying. Don't like it. But I do like the music.

SPEAKER_10

Obsessed is different than liking the music. Yeah, no, like no matter anything anyway.

SPEAKER_11

There's no defense.

SPEAKER_10

Alright, Morgan, what's yours? I'm not gonna lie. I misunderstood the prompt and I wrote down hear me outs and that's um You know what?

SPEAKER_02

I like it.

SPEAKER_10

My suggestion is the invisible man from Hotel Transylvania. Before they reveal what he actually looked like. Shut up.

SPEAKER_03

I didn't know you thought he was gonna be hungry.

SPEAKER_07

I did, I thought he was. I have it, hear me out. Mm-hmm. Snape.

SPEAKER_10

Good Snape. Good, Gracie, good.

SPEAKER_07

Honestly.

SPEAKER_11

Alan Rickman.

SPEAKER_07

Alan Rickman. Maybe recipe. Wait, no. What's the other one's name? The like the little Epsilon. He's like a nerd at the beginning and he has a Neville! Neville! Love Neville. He had a girl for me. I just watched Harry Potter for the first time. Yes.

SPEAKER_04

For the first time.

SPEAKER_10

First and a half.

SPEAKER_07

First and a half. Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right. Right, right, right. Mama's the PETA thing.

SPEAKER_05

Right, right, right. Kennedy. Okay, mine is he's a 10, but he's a mama's boy or a daddy's girl for David. You know, like just totally. They always have to bring up their mom. It's not like they're family-oriented and they love their family. It's like my mom cooks it this way and my mom this. And they're always calling their mom.

SPEAKER_04

That's a little bit. Like, don't get me wrong, I love my mama. And I do be calling her often, but I don't think I'm not in a in a like obsessed, like you know, everyone knows what I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_05

A momless boy. Not like a sweet to his family likes his mama. That's fair. That's so fair. What would you say?

SPEAKER_04

I wouldn't.

SPEAKER_05

They're 10, but like what would the number then be?

SPEAKER_04

Oh, like a five, maybe.

SPEAKER_09

I would say one.

SPEAKER_04

Five or six.

SPEAKER_09

Six or seven, six, two.

SPEAKER_04

Six is good.

SPEAKER_09

Tyree? I have another one. Um they're a ten, but they shadow box randomly.

SPEAKER_11

We all know that person, too. In the way I would say Tim. Yes! I think it's so funny.

SPEAKER_10

It's an ironic ten. It's an entertaining 10. Real mean.

SPEAKER_05

I think I'd have to put them down a little lower.

SPEAKER_00

You don't think that's the tens of display?

SPEAKER_05

What would you do with a girl shadow box?

SPEAKER_00

Is it good or bad? That's the question. If it was good shadow boxing, I'd be like, if she's committed to the bad thing, yeah.

SPEAKER_09

She's committed to the fight. If she's committed to the fight.

SPEAKER_03

Does she get knocked out with shadow boxes?

SPEAKER_10

She gets K.

SPEAKER_03

She gets KO'd.

SPEAKER_10

And you're like, oh that was funny. Hey, hey.

SPEAKER_03

You're like, hey. Are you alright? Are you alright now there? I mean, if it was like I don't know, if she was like really bad at it, because like I don't know, like I don't know.

SPEAKER_04

I feel like that's not the worst thing. Like that'd probably, if anything, bring her down to like an eight, maybe a nine.

SPEAKER_06

I think it's so funny. MG? Mine is he's a 10, but he spends hours playing video games.

SPEAKER_08

Overwatch 2 or. Overwatch 4! Is he playing Overwatch? Is it playing Hanzo or? Is he playing Overwatch or is he playing Overwatch?

SPEAKER_03

So wait, is he a Hanzo man or is he like a Mercy man?

SPEAKER_04

Or a Ryan Hart player.

SPEAKER_06

Video games are fine, but it's like if that's if those are your plans for the night.

SPEAKER_05

Every night's like, I gotta get on with the boys and I have to swim them like that.

SPEAKER_06

Like if it's hours and hours, I just can't.

SPEAKER_04

I feel like if it's all the time. Because I like don't I get I play games when I have freaking games. But like if it's all the time, I get to play like twice a week at most.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, it's fine for like a weekend thing. Everyone has their like little hobby.

SPEAKER_04

Like for me, I don't know. That'd probably bump her down to like eight, like a seven.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Like I mean, to me, like I it wouldn't be the biggest deal.

SPEAKER_06

For like a guy, it would be like I like a four. I can't. I can't be dropping maybe. I can't do it. He's a 10, Mary Grace. I know, but I can't do it.

SPEAKER_05

But he's fine. I I can understand. I can't do it.

SPEAKER_10

Like games eight hours a day. What are you?

SPEAKER_05

I can't be inside all day. Like I want to go out and do things.

SPEAKER_06

I can't be inside.

SPEAKER_05

If you can't game together, it's kind of like, all right, you want to have six hours away from me. It doesn't really matter.

SPEAKER_04

That's a whole playing together.

SPEAKER_06

Because it's not a hobby for me. If it was a hobby for me, it'd be different. But I would just be like if it was a couple hours, I'd be like, okay, sure, like I'll go do something else. You do that. But if it's like his or like take me out to dinner.

SPEAKER_04

I do have another one. Go for it. Go for it. There are 10, but they can't cook. Like to save their life, they can't cook.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah, I mean, the first time.

SPEAKER_05

I mean, I said, I mean, if they're a for me, if they're a guy and they can't cook, I'll cook for you. That's okay. Hey, I cook for you. I think it's different for the girl, maybe. I don't want to be sex satisfied.

SPEAKER_04

Like that it's not a deal breaker, but it's gonna bump you down a lot. Because like I can cook, I can, but I want somebody who can cook like who can cook. Like, so if you can't cook, I'm afraid you might have to do it.

SPEAKER_05

It's just kind of a basic life skill to me. It's not about like, get out! You should you should know how to cook food for yourself.

SPEAKER_10

I'm also like split the duty, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. If you gotta match that it doesn't have to be like insanely good, but like maybe don't burn the house down. I just think it has to be said. He's a 10, but plays air guitar. Oh get that out of here. I'll be honest, that for me is one of my icks, is air guitar. That's bad. It's pretty rough. Like, if you throw air guitar in front of me, I'm like, and that's it. It's an ick, and it's wraps.

SPEAKER_09

And here's my unregistered fryer arm.

SPEAKER_10

Back at it again. Back at it again. It's my your air guitar, my air gun. My air elephant tranquilizer.

SPEAKER_09

Okay, so on to the next part. We're gonna play. We listen and we don't judge. Yeah, there we are, judges. Okay, we listen and we don't judge. I feel like my tendency is I can be a bully. We listen and we don't judge. When I like somebody, I can borderline bully them. Borderline bully.

SPEAKER_10

Very great.

SPEAKER_04

See, I know a lot of guys that would love Well Mark.

SPEAKER_09

Oh no, we're just gonna judge. Getting hot and sweaty.

SPEAKER_05

MG, we listen and we don't judge.

SPEAKER_06

We listen and we don't judge. I once dated two different guys with the exact same name back to back.

SPEAKER_02

And then we don't judge.

SPEAKER_04

For me, I don't know. In one of my one of my relationships, I wasn't the greatest at making plans because I low-key like to just stay at home. I'm kind of a homebody. So that's on me. I didn't make a lot of plans to go out a lot. I was just like staying at home.

SPEAKER_10

We listen and we don't judge. I am physically unable to flirt with somebody unless I think they're there's no chance.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, that's so real. That's so real though.

SPEAKER_10

Like if I'm like, if there's a genuine, like, oh, maybe there is, you know, a connection, something like that, nothing. No, that's so real though. That's so real game. I feel that.

SPEAKER_09

I don't know how I've been told that I'm like a naturally friendly person, but when it comes to flirting, I'm like with somebody you're actually interested in.

SPEAKER_05

If I bully you, I love you. That's right.

SPEAKER_04

Like literally her type to a T. Like, she texted me and was like, Gracie, like, everything is checking out. Like, da da da da da. And I was like, okay, did you match? And apparently then he matched with her too. And so like, sign like a match in heaven, right?

SPEAKER_10

He hadn't sent a message. And he had not sent a message. I had no problem starting the conversation. I'll probably sign it.

SPEAKER_07

And so what she does is she sends hi with like the colon and a smiley face.

SPEAKER_10

Can I give the contact?

SPEAKER_07

Very neutral.

SPEAKER_10

Very neutral.

SPEAKER_07

Yes, very just like in the not her own emoji, but like a And then I panicked. And then she panics and says, Hey, what's your favorite door handle? And then literally, like radio silence. Radio. Wait for about a few, I think it was six hours, if not longer.

SPEAKER_00

Six hours.

SPEAKER_10

Yes. I can't remember. Yes. Alright, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Oh my god. Gracie's just out of her.

SPEAKER_07

The day was a blur. And then she texted me and was like, Gracie, I need to hang out because we need to fix this now. And so he answers, he answers, and he says, probably like lol, that's a tough one. Ha ha ha ha. Something like that, right? Yeah. And then she goes, heavy hitters out of the way. And then she goes, sorry, gotta get the heavy hitters out of the way. And then it was radio silence.

SPEAKER_10

Door Handle DMs And Dating App Anxiety

SPEAKER_10

I need to have contacts. Okay, my thing was like the after the hinge date, I was just like, okay, I I think anybody who started doing like using a dating app can relate to this where it's like sometimes you forget that these are real human beings that you're talking to. Like, I don't know. Some days I was on it and I was like, these are Sims. I'm just gonna do like a bit based off of their profile of like bang, like I don't know, like I don't know. I can't think of anything. But like just stupid stuff. That's what I was used to. So I had never like after the one date, I was like, nah, no. Nah. And so then when this dude comes up, I was like, oh shoot, I gotta, I you know, I was like, hey, I was like, no, that was stupid. Why don't you ever say hi to somebody?

SPEAKER_02

I mean, door handle.

SPEAKER_10

You had to be funny. I was like, what's a funny intro line I've heard recently as a bit? And I somebody was like in a group chat and was trying to get like the name situation where they're like, send your name and your favorite door handle. And I was like, that was funny when it happened in the group chat. I was funny too. Must translate to hinge or whatever.
