Episode 48 - The Boyfriend 11:08

11:08

After countless low-effort matches, ghostings, and confusing conversations, I’ve finally met someone who feels different . In this episode, I share what it’s been like to date someone who is sweet, emotionally present, physically confident, intellectually stimulating (hello, PhD in humanities!), and genuinely invested in getting to know me. He plans dates. He calls. He brought flowers on our first official date. And most surprisingly? He makes it easy . Being with him is not only refreshing—it’s making me realize just how wrong my last relationship was. Sometimes, clarity doesn’t come from what goes wrong… but from finally experiencing what feels right . 💌 Have you found someone who made you rethink everything you accepted before? I’d love to hear from you: moderndating2025@gmail.com…

Some dating conversations feel like an interview , others feel like a monologue , and some… just leave you confused. In this episode, I share my bizarre exchange with a former Marine—who went from serving his country to selling Tempurpedic mattresses—and how the conversation took a sharp turn when I dared to have thoughts and opinions. 💌 Ever been unmatched for a ridiculous reason?

Episode 46 - Librarians, Low Effort, and Lukewarm Interest 6:50

If you’ve ever had a guy assume your profession for absolutely no reason , this episode is for you. First, I talk about a guy who confidently decided I was a librarian —based solely on the fact that I read books. Then, I dive into the painfully slow fade of someone who seemed interested… until his response time went from thoughtful messages to one every two days . Spoiler: it ended with an underwhelming coffee invite that made me question why I even bothered. If you’re tired of low-effort dating, lukewarm interest, and men who don’t even try—this episode is a must-listen. 💌 Got your own low-effort dating story?

Episode 45 - Is Low Effort Dating a Cultural Thing? 4:58

I’ve been wracking my brain over the shockingly low level of effort in dating where I live. Is it just me ? Or is this an actual cultural thing ? A friend of mine said that women in my area have just accepted that this is how things are—so men don’t need to try. And honestly? That blew my mind. In this episode, I unpack the frustrating reality of modern dating, whether we set the bar too low, and why so many men seem comfortable putting in bare minimum effort . Is this a regional issue? A generational one? And more importantly—how do we fix it? 💌 What’s the dating culture like where you live? Let me know at moderndating2025@gmail.com…

Episode 44 - The Five-Hour Ghosting: When Connection Feels Like an Illusion 8:23

Ever had a conversation so good that you knew it was going somewhere… only to be completely ghosted the next day? In this episode, I talk about my five-hour-long phone call with a guy who seemed like he was actually interested—until he wasn’t. I break down what happened, the odd red flags (including a weird entitlement about speaking Italian in Italy), and the way I tend to dwell on these moments even when I know I shouldn’t. If you’ve ever been left questioning what you did wrong when, really, it wasn’t about you at all—this episode is for you. 💌 Have a similar story? Let’s connect!

Episode 43 - Dodging Bullets Like I’m in The Matrix 11:05

11:05

Dating in my 40s sometimes feels like a high-stakes action movie , and honestly? I am thrilled to be dodging these emotional bullets. In this episode, I break down one of my latest dating encounters—a guy who seemed promising until his insecurities started screaming through his messages. We went from a decent conversation to him over-explaining his financial success, subtly dismissing my concerns, and then suddenly deciding we weren’t a match… only to immediately ask me out. The flip-flopping? The weird energy? The unmatch at the end? Hilarious. If you’ve ever dealt with a guy who can’t figure out what he wants but somehow expects you to be impressed, you’re going to love this one. 💌 Ever dodged a dating bullet?

You deserve more than a relationship that leaves you feeling empty. You deserve more than settling for less than what makes you truly happy. You deserve to be with someone who respects your boundaries, values your needs, and wants to see you thrive. It’s not selfish to want more for yourself—it’s necessary.…
