Summary

I’m joined by a 31-year-old woman who shares a series of relatable dating sagas that she’s experienced over the last few years including a drawn out situationship, developing feelings for a best guy friend, dating someone who is always working, and more. We hear how she wished she cut things off sooner in many of these situations and how she’s finally learned to ask for what she needs and speak up when something isn’t right. Plus, we dive into her dating stats from the past few years as she’s kept track of how many dates she’s been on. Spoiler alert: 2022 included 70 dates with a breakdown of 26 guys, 2+ dates with 12 guys and 3+ dates with 5 guys.

Think again.

Hi, I'm anonymous 31-year-old living in New York.

0:28.8

And I'm here to talk, I think, about my various dating sagas, but I guess at a higher

0:33.5

level, the challenges, I think, with dating both in your 30s and also learning how to

0:39.0

communicate throughout the process. I am so glad that you're here because I think every single

0:44.2

thing that we're about to talk about is so incredibly relatable. But relatable in a way we're

0:49.7

like, we don't feel like it's relatable when we're coming through it. We feel like, why me, this sucks. This is

0:55.7

unfair. Like, not this again. But it's actually so common for people to get into situations

1:03.1

like these. So I'm really excited that you're here and I'm really excited to get into it.

1:07.6

Do you want to pick a saga and start there? Or how do you want to go about it?

1:14.2

I guess like let's start maybe from the situation ship I had last year, where I went on, like, I would

1:24.9

say anywhere from 16 to 20 dates with a guy over the course of from I would say

1:31.6

around January to May sort of.
