  What Does “Effort” Actually Look Like in Dating?

  Sep 1, 202644 min

  In this episode of Last Date, I sit down with Grayson to talk about something women often say they want from men in dating: effort. But what does effort actually look like? Grayson shares what one guy did on a date that immediately stood out to her—and, on the other end of the spectrum, what happened when a guy she was genuinely excited about suddenly disappeared despite already having their next date planned. We also discuss: - Dating as a six-foot-tall woman - How to approach someone in public - Why women should approach men too - Asking for her Instagram vs. her number - Ghosting someone when you already have another date scheduled - Why women think about safety differently when meeting someone new Follow this channel for future conversations about modern dating and relationships.

  Who Should Make the First Move?

  Aug 25, 202654 min

  In this episode of Last Date , I sit down with Cailan after meeting her on a trail in Austin, where I asked her one question: What do you wish was different about modern dating? Her answer: She wishes people would approach each other more in real life. So we decided to continue the conversation. We talk about why so many men are afraid to approach women, whether women really only want attractive guys approaching them, and what actually separates a confident approach from a creepy one. Cailan shares approaches that have worked on her and explains why personality and charisma can matter far more than men realize. We also discuss: How to approach a woman without being creepy What actually creates chemistry on a first date Vulnerability vs. trauma dumping How the “Three Day Rule” is outdated What "long-term, open to short" actually communicates on a dating profile This conversation is a practical look at what women actually want from men in modern dating—and why making dating better might require all of us to stop overthinking it and start being a little more willing to make the first move.

  Dating at 42 When You Still Want Kids

  Aug 18, 202636 min

  In this episode of Last Date, I sit down with Mandee, who at 42 is navigating dating after divorce while still hoping to start a family. Mandee was married for more than six years. Early in that relationship, she and her husband both said they wanted three children—but after they married, those conversations never turned into plans. Eventually, Mandee realized that if having a family was still important to her, she needed to give herself the opportunity to find someone who genuinely wanted the same thing. Now she's dating again with a much clearer understanding of what she wants—and discovering that clarity can make dating both easier and harder. We discuss:- What it's like dating at 42 when you still want children - Why she's dating younger men for the first time - The non-negotiables that dramatically narrow her dating pool - Opening herself up to dating outside her race after previously dating only Asian men - Why she's become surprisingly attracted to the "nerdy guys" she once overlooked - Ghosting, dating apps, singles events, and sliding into someone's DMs This conversation is about starting over with more self-awareness, expanding what you're open to while becoming more selective about what actually matters, and staying optimistic when the life you want requires you to keep putting yourself out there.

  Dating With Intention in the Age of Endless Options

  Aug 11, 202648 min

  In this episode of Last Date, I sit down with Adrianna, an entrepreneur who dates both men and women, to talk about dating intentionally in a culture of endless options, love bombing, dating-app fatigue, and people who don't always seem to know what they're looking for. We get into what Adrianna has learned from years on dating apps, including why she thinks your profile should be designed to filter people out, not simply maximize your number of matches. She explains why prompts should either start conversations or help identify incompatibilities, and why people often build profiles around how they want to be perceived instead of the people they're actually trying to attract. We also discuss: - What love bombing actually looks like—and why Adriana now "love bombs the love bombers back" - How to build a better Hinge profile - Why your dating profile should eliminate the wrong people - Dating as a busy entrepreneur - Why more women she's dated have earned second dates than men - Why she prefers thoughtful dates over expensive ones - Why understanding someone's trauma doesn't mean excusing the way they treat you This conversation is about being more deliberate with dating: knowing the life you actually want, choosing people who fit into it, and realizing that attention, money, and grand gestures aren't substitutes for communication, thoughtfulness, and emotional availability.

  Aug 3, 202647 min

  In this episode of Last Date, comedian and content creator Simone shares the wild dating stories that inspired her comedy—and why she's sworn off serious relationships for now. We talk about being love-bombed, getting ghosted after a romantic trip to Italy, why toxic relationships can feel more exciting than healthy ones, and how heartbreak has become fuel for her social media content. We also discuss:- Why humor is one of the most attractive qualities in a partner - What defines a situationship - Whether casual sex ever stays casual - Love bombing and mixed signals - Why dating apps create the paradox of choice If you've ever wondered why modern dating feels chaotic—or found yourself in a situationship you couldn't explain—this conversation will make you laugh, cringe, and probably feel a little seen.
