Ep. 305: The Gay Bit: No More Dating Rules: Confidence, Chaos & 28 Years with My Husband
In this episode of The Gay Bit: Zach kicks things off with a slightly chaotic morning — a physical, low blood pressure, a failed Starbucks latte experiment, and a reaffirmed loyalty to homemade Cuban coffee. Then it's straight into the real topic: his friend's very active dating life. Zach plays relationship detective on three guys currently in rotation — Benji (a non-texter who's fading out), Kevin (mysteriously gone quiet), and Rob (four dates in and cooking dinner together next). Zach interrogates the details the way he always does with his friends' new prospects, admitting he can be "a lot" but insists it's coming from a good place. That leads into a bigger riff: Zach and Andrew are just days from their 28th anniversary, and Zach uses that milestone to make his case against modern dating rules — the "don't text more than once a week," "don't call too soon," "wait until the sixth date" mentality he thinks is holding people back. His advice: skip the rulebook, read the room, and go with your gut. He also touches on body confidence, why Botox and self-assurance go a long way, and teases a future episode about the "real fucking losers" he dated back in South Beach before meeting Andrew. Topics covered: Morning routine and coffee opinions (RIP Dunkin' loyalty) Playing detective in a friend's dating life 28 years with Andrew and what makes it work Why Zach thinks dating rules are killing romance Body confidence and self-acceptance in dating A teaser for a future "worst dates of my single life" episode Content note: Adult language and frank sexual references throughout.
