Date Me or Hate Me

It has been a minute, hasn't it? Don't let the title fool you, I am still happily taken. But I wanted to use this come back episode to really highlight some things I have learned along the way (which you will hear also why I find that important). I hope you enjoy it

I decided to make this week's episode about the person who has been my (very pleasant) distraction from recording episodes, my man. So here is a little intro for him and our story, so far

I hate using the word “crazy” (and you'll see why in the beginning of this episode) but sometimes it is sadly true. Some people are just plain crazy, but not all of them. In this episode, I explain my thoughts on “crazy,” tell my own crazy story, and share your experiences to really get to the bottom of this phenomenon. Hope you enjoy

You can't even act like you don't know what a friend with benefits (FWB) is.. most of us have been there. Someone you enjoying hanging out with, who you're friends with, then

It's about time I put my two cents in on some topics I have been seeing more of lately. And those topics revolve around ✨toxic✨ masculinity. No, it's not all men, but some things just need to be said

Men aren't usually the people who come to mind when you hear the word “bougie” but they are often the ones acting like it. Yeah, nice things are nice. But they aren't everything. That's what we discuss in this episode.

I have talked before about doing an episode that is all about your questions, concerns, statements, etc. and the time has come. Here is the first dating Q&A episode, and I hope you guys enjoy it!

Next up in the athletic roaster of men I have dated is the baseball player. ⚾️ This story is one of my favorites and you will find out why. Dating a professional athlete is far from easy, but it makes for a great story

This episode is for the boys... and lesbians ❤️ Talking to anyone can be difficult but when it comes to making the first move to show someone you're interested, that can be even harder (and scary tbh). Find out the best ways to speak to women both online and in person and how to handle what comes after that

Welp, we made it to the end of one of the worst years of all time. I think I speak for most everyone when I say that 2020 will not be missed. In this week's episode, I recap how dating has been this year and talk about all the lessons this wild year has taught us. It was rough, but 2021 will indeed be our year!

Hear me out: there are good rebounds and there are bad rebounds. And just like everything else in relationships and dating, they can be very ✨complicated✨. In this episode, I talk about my biggest “rebound” experience and give my thoughts on the concept.

I'm sorry it's been a minute, babes. Life has been a wild ride (it is 2020 but I wasn't expecting THIS much struggle). But, I am back and I wanted to explain where I was (and still am) at recently. If anyone else is ever struggling, reach out to me ANY time because I am always here for you!

This one goes out to you, Granny

This week's episode is a bit of a touchy subject, toxic relationships. Toxic relationships are intense, hard, emotional, damaging but also can make us stronger, more confident in ourselves, help us create better boundaries, and become better people in the aftermath. Usually the hardest, darkest times teach us the most valuable lessons and it just proves that relationships are no different.

“lOvE yOuRsElF!!!!¡” is something every girl has heard at least once or twice. And usually after a breakup. (Guys, do you tell your bros this? Genuinely curious) It isn't wrong to say, but I think it's time we chose our words a little more wisely when we have this talk with our friends. So here is my take on the new “love yourself”

Long Distance Relationships, some have experienced them. Most fear them. On this episode, we discuss the truth about LDRs and how (or even if) they can really end up working out in the long run. It's all about what you put your mind to, baby.

SEASON 2️⃣ WHADDUP! Did I label this correctly? Who knows, but what do you get when you mix a dating podcaster with wine?

So a girl goes to work in another city for a weekend, Bumble profile in tow, and ends up matching with a former reality star. A few text message and FaceTime conversations later, and he's on the podcast. Find out Zach's perspective on dating and other hot topics in this week's episode!

This isn't the most well known saying but we all know it basically means prioritize your friendships when you're in a relationship. It may seem obvious but it isn't always easy to balance your friendships and relationships. The important part is realizing what is happening, communicating with those involved, and making any necessary changes in your life. Take if from the Spice Girls, if you wanna be my lova ya gotta get with my friends

Ahh the “good ‘ole days” as they call them. Honestly, high school was not my favorite time of my life but I was fortunate enough to have a pretty great guy as my first “real” boyfriend. Let's uncover our high school lessons in this episode.

Dating apps, I have mentioned them before in previous episodes but this one is solely dedicated to these wonderful/horrible inventions. Let's just say, my (and probably yours too) relationship with dating apps are complicated...

This week's episode is short and to the point. Find a way to go out and make a difference in the world. There are so many ways you can help and it's not hard to do just ONE of them.

Ever been on a first date and the person can't stop talking about their ex? Well, I have and I decided to have him on as a guest this week to discuss the matter.

Are you single? Are you dating? Are you trying to find love in the middle of a pandemic? Then we have the perfect episode for you

Thought it was about time to dive into an athlete category, and why not start with good ole soccer. I might have dated more than most it seems from the polls I took, but this episode shares both mine and listeners experiences with the ⚽️ players.

Are you or someone you know afraid of commitment? (You better have read that in a commercial voice) Then take a listen to this episode to hear from others and myself on issues of commitment and today's dating scene.

Bad boy, bad boy, what ya gonna do? What ya gonna do when I expose you? I'm kidding, but seriously. However, we talk about how not all “bad” is, well, bad. But some is, so let's talk about it.

You know it, I know it, we all know it. We ain't going no where any time soon. So how does all of this affect dating? Well, it just makes things a little harder and requires us to get a lot more creative! Who knows, you might even end up telling your future children about how their parents met during a pandemic. Idk.

Switched it up (again) this week and decided to take a question from listeners on Instagram for some Date Me or Hate Me advice in real time. Don't worry, my ridiculous dating stories will be still making their appearance on the podcast.

This episode is a little different and we have our first *official* guest! And it's my mom lol She answers some questions y'all sent in and spills some unexpected tea

Don't hate the player, hate the game is what they say. But what about if we just got better about communicating our dating life and didn't have to hate anyone? That's what we dive into on this week's episode!

This week's episode is a little different... let's talk about some dating/relationship details! I get into my thoughts on living together, celebrating birthdays & anniversaries, and meeting the fam. I want to throw a few episodes like this one in every once in a while so I hope y'all enjoy!

Nice guys don't finish last in the real world. This episode talks about the bad boy vs. the good guy, and honestly why we should all strive to be good people. Also, if you're watching Love is Blind on Netflix, you'll enjoy the tea at the end.

This week (even though it was delayed

This week we are talking about the beautiful people. The ones who can sometimes make us feel like we aren't on their level when it comes to physical appearance. But, looks aren't everything and being true to yourself makes you just as beautiful as any insanely hot person. If you want to get involved in the polls and questions I ask on Instagram, follow me @kneeeecoal!

We have probably all dealt with or heard of one when it comes to dating, a cheater. In this episode, I discuss cheating, tell my own personal story, share some others' cheating stories, and dive into some age old questions that surround cheating. Hope you enjoy xoxo

Hey girl heyyy, it's me. Sorry, I'm still learning the ropes here but I wanted to give you the low-down on me, this podcast, and why I hope you'll give it a listen. We all know dating today sucks, but we can survive it together. See ya next Thursday
