5 Summers of Tinder

Lea and Justin chop it up for a good old fashioned episode. We catch up on what we’ve been up to, the current climate of the country, how that has affected dating and what we plan to do next. We didn’t want to leave y’all hanging!

This is a special episode by Lea to address a very important topic brought on by recent events and issues in America during this challenging time. No, it has nothing to do with dating or relationships. This is strictly Lea using her platform to address something bigger and necessary. Please listen and share!

If you can get past the audio glitch on this recording, you will find some good content here on how to avoid unhealthy relationships and focus on the green flags, rather than just the red ones. We talk about brutal honesty, self responsibility and a few extra fun things. Not sure what happened with the audio; at times it sounds like Lea is either predicting the future or just interrupting Justin like a jerk before he gets his thoughts out, but most of it is great. We appreciate you decoding through it to get to the good stuff. We will figure it out for next time.

This is a women only bonus episode featuring host Lea and her best friend from childhood, Halima Yasmin. We discuss the process and manifestation of Lea’s vision that ultimately became a very honest and explicit exhibit which then turned into this podcast. There may be a few hidden gems in here somewhere too, I’m not sure.

Bare with us as we just try to make sense of what’s going on in the world. There is not much we can talk about right now in regards to dating as we do not recommend it at this time, but we can still talk about relationships and other good stuff. So stick with us in this time of social distancing and we will try to entertain you. Thanks for listening!

This is a hodgepodge episode based on a new feature by Tinder in which users receive emails and tips from Tinder’s site called Swipe Life. We discuss various topics from what not to write on your dating profile to finding out if you’re secretly attracted to your best friend.

This week we were lucky to have a special guest, Willie Proctor, to talk to us about his experience being single and dating for the past 5 years after being in a relationship/marriage for 16 years...and guess what...he’s NEVER even used Tinder!

As we review an article entitled “Why Dating as a Millennial is So Screwed Up”, we discuss some modern day tactics and nuances that exist in today’s dating scene and how they compare to dating when Lea was in her 20s, which Justin keeps referring to as “back in the day”.

Listen in while Justin breaks down his theories about dating on different days of the week and what each day means, while also detailing his version of rotational dating. Hint: it makes Lea’s version sound much better.

Dating more than one person at once is a concept that most people have an opinion about. In this episode, we discuss what it means to date rotationally and some of the nuances that come with it; it’s definitely a more modern dating concept.

You either dread it or you love it. But whatever your take is on Valentine’s Day, we feel it’s a great opportunity to make an impression when dating, or at any stage of a relationship. It can also be an easy way to get stricken from any roster. So listen for a few do’s and don’ts of Valentine’s Day...and remember to celebrate your love everyday - no matter what!

Anyone who has used online dating as a means to meet people will have a few crazy stories about their interactions with others. Some of them can be funny and some of them can be a good lesson. In this episode, we will talk about one lesson in particular and also highlight some of the more positive experiences we have had dating online. Including our very own story of how we met and became business partners.

Once you develop your profile and get matched up, the next step in online dating is to get to know your match a little better to decide if there is anything there apart from physical attraction. This episode is a discussion about first messages and conversations, from both the male and female perspective with some tips of what to say... and definitely what not to.

We have found that each season brings different vibes and challenges when it comes to online dating. Each season we will discuss the dynamics we have found within that particular season. This is our winter episode. Stay warm, y,all!

First impressions are a very important part of dating, but especially in online dating as most of the time you’re being judged only by your looks, and sometimes just by one picture. This episode discusses a few do’s and don’t’s of profile pictures and how you portray yourself in the bios. Coincidentally, this is also our first episode and your first impression of us, so we hope you enjoy and truly appreciate you listening!
