Customer Reviews
Please come back 🥺
I love this podcast. I subscribed so that I could stay updated when they post and then they stopped posting. 🥺 I can tell that the creator put a lot of work into this podcast. Where as most people just turn on the mic and start rambling. I love the stories and just really hope they start posting again! ❤️
Please come back!
What a genius podcast format & so sad to see it go. Please return!
Doesn’t hit the mark
I really like the concept of the podcast. There’s great potential. The thing that doesn’t work for me is hearing some of the dates and thinking “oh they really aren’t a match” and then the host doing the recap of the date and saying how great they thought the date was. I’m like did we listen to the same date? Like there’s less talk about what the person may be doing that is holding their dating life back and more talk about why they should’ve been a match when the main person didn’t like who they were set up with. Also some of the questions suggested when the conversation is running low are just not it. If someone on a date asked me to tell them something I wouldn’t normally say on a first date I’d be like 🥴 or what the last self help book I read was? It feels very forced and put on the spot like a job interview which is just not the vibe a first date should have. Also not everyone likes self help books.
