Roses are red, violets are blue, my enemies are after me, I need $25k...IYKYK?

Wow you will not believe the news that Steph has to share with everyone. She's breaking personal records. Maybe even Bae Area records??? Hint hint, it has to do with the episode's title.

This week's it's Tamiko's turn to story dump all of her recent dating escapades.

We're back!!! So many stories and thoughts this week. What do you think about keeping things casual? What does the word 'casual' even mean?! How often do you even text if you're keeping things casual? Also, there's someone using Tamiko's photos to catfish?! Would you feel flattered or violated? Speaking of catfishing...Steph matches, yet again, with the same catfish from last year? What's going on??? Listen to find out and make sure to follow us on IG for more!

On this week's episode we have a very special guest, fan, and fellow Asian bae. As a 35-year-old, K.C. has a lot of interesting stories and wisdom. Funnily enough, she is quite similar to one of our co-host. Can you guess which one?

On this week's episode, we have a very special fan and guest. Though younger than both of the co-hosts, he is very insightful, experienced, and wise when it comes to dating. He shares his stories from the perspective of being an Asian boy in the Bay(bae) Area and it's pretty wild. He even plans the perfect date for both Stephanie and Tamiko, respectively, so if you've been wondering how to ask our co-hosts out, you'll want to listen. P.S. Make sure to subscribe to us wherever you get your podcast and to follow us on Instagram @AsianBaeClub.

The big 3-0! In this week's juicy episode, Stephanie and Tamiko talk about making excuses for the person you're dating. At what point is their behavior a red flag vs. a deal breaker? Porn, for example, is this a red flag or deal breaker if your S.O. watches porn? Also, listen to find out why Stephanie is back on the apps

Can a guy and a girl truly just be friends? Or is there always an underlying ulterior motive? When does texting with your guy friend become flirting? Isn't flirting subjective and based off of a spectrum? So how can anyone really judge this? Listen as Tamiko and Stephanie discuss this and more on Epsiode 29. P.S. We've launched a giveaway contest on Instagram so make sure to check it out at @AsianBaeClub.

Let's define the relationship (DTR) with Jesus. Or really just with religion and spirituality. The topic of religion can be sometimes heavy and therefore tends to be viewed as a second or third date, (or maybe even later), type of conversation. But for guest speaker, Kate, the conversation happens within the first five minutes. Listen as she shares her experiences with dating through the lens of someone that studies religion. Is religion and spirituality a dealbreaker for you? What are your thoughts on this? Let us know via email or DM us on Instagram !

Not safe for work...or is it? Would you date someone that you work with? Or have you dated someone that you work with? Or are you currently dating someone from work?! LOL how's that going? Now that we're all working from home and home = office, office = home, is dating "at" work fair game? ;) Follow us on Instagram: @AsianBaeClub

On this week of Asian Bae Club, Stephanie and Tamiko unravel the many expectations and boundaries they have when it comes to first dates versus second dates. And to no one’s surprise, their views are quite different. But only one of our co-hosts goes on many second dates and you will not believe what happened to her on one of her second dates. Follow us on Instagram: @AsianBaeClub

This week on Asian Bae Club, our co-hosts both felt “seen.” Emotionally, mentally, and… physically?! For one of our hosts, it was a week of finally getting some answers and clarity, while for our other host, it was a week of adventure and trying new things. Speaking of which, have you ever gone on a joint first date with a guy and your best friend? Well, Asian Bae Club has, and we have some thoughts. Listen to find out ;) Follow us on Instagram: @AsianBaeClub

Warning: MAJOR UPDATES. You *may* cry. But Steph still couldn't and hasn't. Any guesses as to what happened to her? Hint: she's now joined the Tinder community and is struggling big time with figuring out the gestures. Whereas Tamiko has the Tinder game under full control and not only uses it for her own love life, but also for her friends'. But with all of these high-quality, smart, and successful suitors, Tamiko realized that she has a sense of imposter syndrome. Have you ever felt that way while dating? If so, you're not alone. Follow us on Instagram: @AsianBaeClub

Happy New Year, fam! How were everyone’s holidays? Kiss anyone special at midnight? Here at ABC HQ, we had quite the unexpected, unpleasant surprise...a bunch of poetic nonsense really. One of us cried and one us fumed with anger. Can you guess who?Follow us on Instagram: @AsianBaeClub

The big 2-0. We made it to 20 episodes in 2020!?!? What a crazy rollercoaster of a time it's been. Thank you so much for listening to and supporting us as we navigated dating and relationships this year. As a final tribute to the madness that was 2020, we dedicated this episode to reflection and goal setting. Join us as we think back on this year and what we hope for in 2021. We love each and every one of you and talk to you in the New Year! Follow us on Instagram: @AsianBaeClub

Tamiko and Stephanie play the currently trending game, We're Not Really Strangers. "We're Not Really Strangers is a purpose driven card game and movement all about empowering meaningful connections. Three carefully crafted levels of questions annd wildcards that allow you to deepen your existing relationships and create new ones." And let us just say, sh*t gets real. You won't believe some of our answers. Follow us on Instagram: @AsianBaeClub

Have you heard? Hinge has two new app features and we give you the rundown on how they work with special guest star, Shanaya. Hint: it's very Bachelor franchise-esque. Also, is anyone curious to find out what happened to Steph and her man with the poor texting skills? Well, you'll definitely want to listen as she spills the tea. Follow us on Instagram: @AsianBaeClub

Wow. What an emotional rollercoaster of a week! Something's in the air, and it ain't love! Tamiko and Stephanie go OFF on the terrible texting etiquette that they had to deal with and all of emotions that came with it. Is being a "bad" texter even a legitimate excuse? Or is it really just a matter of care, consideration, and prioritization? You tell us.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! Thanksgiving officially marks the beginning of the holiday season which also means... PRESENTS! But this can get tricky, especially depending on which stage of the "relationship" you're in. So we've decided to help you out a little. We've come up with some fun, funny, and even flirty gift ideas for your boo-thang. Have fun and happy gifting!

Infatuation, an intense but short-lived passion or admiration for someone or something. Is it possible to meet someone and immediately develop genuine, deep feelings for them, or is it just infatuation? Is it actually possible to fall for someone in five days? Tamiko spills the tea on her experiences with finding love in London, while Stephanie sips and simps.

Let's talk about having "the talk." (We all love it) Now that we're deep into cuffing season and with all of the holidays coming up, it makes life easier if things are a little bit more defined. It truly sets the tone for how the holidays will be spent: "Will we be spending Thanksgiving with either of our families?" "Will we exchange gifts during Christmas?" "Will we be each other's New Year's kiss?" But sometimes, you have the talk and still miss the mark on communication, or at least that seems to be the case for one of our hosts. Have you ever dated someone and not realized you were in a relationship? Or what about the reverse? Were you dating someone thinking they were your S.O. without them knowing? Let us know ;)

Spooky season is upon us, and though some of us may dress up in scary costumes, there's nothing quite as scary as a girl that schedules her breakups. Unrelatable? Maybe you're the type that schedules her breakdowns? Either way, breakups are difficult, but your unnie and ate are here for you. This is a safe space, (please no hate mail lol!).

This week, our Asian Bae Club co-hosts travel to the east coast, (virtually that is). Told through the lens of east coast native and "serial dater" (her words, not ours), Amy enlightens us on what it's like to date over in New York City and New Jersey. And now that the weather is getting a little chilly, we share some cute date ideas for the fall. Mainly just #normalizeNetflixandChill

In this week's episode, it's a battle of the Canadians against Stephanie. (Just kidding). But we did have the pleasure of hosting Tamiko's Canadian friend, Graeme for some juicy storytelling! Listen to learn about the "sticky situations" he's gotten himself into with not one, not two, not three, but FOUR GIRLS.

In honor of our 10th episode, we wanted to make it a bit more special and get our fans involved—so we asked you, to ask us, ANYTHING. We chose 10 juicy questions and shared our genuine responses to all of them. No filters! Grab some popcorn and a blanket, because you'll want to get comfy for this episode.

Texting—some are pros, some hate it, and some just don't know what they're doing. In this episode, Stephanie and Tamiko delve deeper into the art of texting and have created a list of the 10 most common types of texters. Who knew there were so many? We're sure there are more. What type of texter are you?

Cuffing season is upon us, folks! But, WAIT! Before we can even get there, we must all experience “No Simp September.” Whoever made this dumb challenge up is making it very difficult for us to understand where we are in the ‘relationship.’ Isn’t it hard enough that we have to define exclusivity before labeling it as a relationship? Why are we overcomplicating dating? Does this even exist outside of the American dating culture?

Confessions of the heartbroken and heartbreaker: Tamiko & Stephanie delve into their different approaches to love and their unique experiences with being a hopeless romantic. They also discuss the complexities of being an Asian girl when it comes to the five love languages and how it affects their dating life. (Do you know yours? Can a difference in love languages be a deal breaker?)

Dating is hard. Quarantine/social distance dating is even harder. Are we all just becoming unoriginal or is there just nothing left for us to do? Tamiko and Stephanie laugh about how they both went on identical dates with different guys without even knowing. Listen as we share first date ideas and outfits that work for dating during this pandemic in the Bay Area. Also, Steph may or may not have run into a past guy while on a date with a different guy…

A continuation of our previous episode, this time, Luis and Stephanie take a stab at consulting Tamiko on her Hinge profile. How important are photo captions? Should you always put your best foot forward when it comes to photos? Ladies, listen closely and take notes.

Many of our listeners have reached out to us asking for help on enhancing their dating profiles, so we thought it would be fun to host one of them on an episode. Listen as we play the role of Dating Profile Consultants for a Hinge and Tinder user, Luis. What are the best photos to use? In which order? How specific should you get with written prompts?

Who is Spider-Man? Why does Stephanie remember his story but not his name? How much effort do you put into your dates? What happens if a guy bails on you? Tamiko and Stephanie spill the tea on all of these and more in episode 3.

Tamiko and Stephanie share some unexpected and shocking updates since the launch of their podcast. Listen as they dive into further detail about the individual mentioned in episode one, shed light on some uncomfortable truths, and continue to question about their belongings that were left behind.

In their podcast premiere about dating and relationships as Asian women, Tamiko & Stephanie divulge into their first virtual encounter, and how the two realized they had a lot more in common than expected, especially when it comes to dating in the Bay Area.
