Entrepreneur and designer, Willy, 28, sits down with us to talk about his app in development, called Wings. Like a wing-man or wing-woman, the app crowdsources advice on what to say and do while navigating the choppy skies of online dating. Want to send or respond to a text? How long to wait? What to say? What does he or she mean? Who the hell know…

Beth and I met a couple years ago and have a ton in common. We're the same age, we're improvisers, writers, beautiful, fun, and share the same values. AND...we're both looking for our person - not "the one", but the right one for us. We banter about the best and worst dating apps - I introduced her to Tinder (you're welcome?) and I learned there's …

I met Jay the typical New York way: a friend's cousin's wife's friend or some person whose relationship to me is so-complicated-I-don't-even-remember introduced us because we both have blogs about love. Now we're direct friends and I'm glad because he's smart, creative, single (and tall!), sweet, and like CJ and I, looking for love - REAL LOVE. We …

A scene from Craig's beautiful, clean apartment Hard to believe this podcast is one year old (they grow up so fast!). For this special anniversary, CJ and I invited our friend Craig who is gay, handsome, and single to chat about gay dating culture, weird ways to meet men (what happens in gym saunas should stay in gym saunas), how to date in your 20…

With Autumn comes beards, flannels, and apparently...Lumbersexuals. On this episode CJ and I chat with Ben the Farmer, who is a real farmer and a real Lumbersexual (not the hipster kind). Remember Ben? He was one of the #BeMy100 date finalists with his faceless, ax wielding, yet sexy Instagram video here. When Ben told me he was taking a train to N…

Emily drank a latte and did her nails in 5 different colors while chatting with CJ and I about what it's like to date in Sweden and Norway versus NYC. Let's just say I looked into plane tickets right after this taping. It all sounds much easier and organic and frankly, quite dreamy. Why? Because, as Emily says, "There is no dating in Scandinavia." …

CJ and I learn about polyamory, open relationships, and swinging. They are not the same! Although Suzie claims her polyamorous relationship with Blaine is "a lot more boring than you think", we couldn't disagree more. Like any relationship it requires open communication, trust in your partner and in yourself. Still curious after listening? Read the…

Good news. We finally have a name for this budding baby of a talk show: Not That Complicated. Because it shouldn't be, right? This episode CJ and I chat with science-lover Amy about how we humans are wired for romantic love, why you should run away from bad-smelling dates, and always, always trust your gut. And...since we aren't actual scientists r…

In our sunny kitchen in Wiliamsburg, Brooklyn, my "domestic partner" Tony and I talk about the weird singles event we went to in February (free Bud Light!), technology's affect on relationships, and how dating in NYC is like shopping for salsa. Music by DJ Snatch, a radio edit of Louis Armstrong's "Mac the Knife"…

Have a listen and then share your questions, thoughts, and revelations in the comments or here. Music by Prince, "I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man"…
