Right. I get that. But I'm just kind of like, hey, there's no judgment here. All right. Anybody listening? There's no judgment. All right. Dating app guy, not dating out guy. Who cares? I hope everybody's getting late.

Hello and welcome to their episode of Finding Mr. Hyde the podcast.

I'm Allie Jackson, back with my co-host.

Eric Espira.

Hello.

Hello.

I am excited today because you have had a date on the East Coast.

Oh, yes.

I've been back on the East Coast a couple weeks now because of my egg freezing and I have a bunch of Valentine's gigs. So also happy Valentine's Day. Is this come out? Happy, yeah. Happy Valentine's Day. It'll be. Well, but happy Valentine's Day, everyone. Yeah, hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day. We probably did. We probably did. We're spending it together. We did. Yes, we're manifesting great valentines for years to come.

Just a romantic dinner of me, Allia, my friend, Alia.

It's going to be lovely. You know what, though? We are going to a steakhouse, and supposedly,

steakhouse bars are a great place to meet men.

Okay, you just reminded me. I, this week, I had a dinner with a couple friends, we ended up going to, I've never been to Sugarfish. Have you ever been there? No, but I feel like I should. I think I need to. It basically is a cheaper amicasse. Amicasse, am I saying that right? Yeah. Than like, you know, know other amacases i've tried in the city uh and it's really really good i was i was like okay i get the hype it's fun

it's cute it's also easy you go with the group it's like you all get the same thing split whatever

um so while we were waiting we looked up like other sushi places nearby in case the wait was too

long whatever and turns out we were near this place called the hue. It's very similar to like a DeKalb market or an Essex market where you like just go down a couple of stairs and there's like cute places to sit, but also there were at these bars and they were packed with dudes. And I was there like not super early. Yeah, like 7.7.30. Midtown after work. Loaded with guys. And so then I'm by myself to go check it out. I come back and I just say, I'm like, oh, well, I'm like, this is too long. I was like, just packed with dudes at the places. Let's go. And then all my friends go, yeah, we all have boyfriends. I was like,

okay, well, it's packed for me. See you later, ladies. Like, I just didn't realize it. I was like, guys, I have great news. And then I was like, oh, everyone's in a serious relationship. I forgot. No one cares.

Well, I found a new spot.

I found a new spot.

But, yeah, like little areas like that.

Pack? Oh, everyone's in a serious relationship. I forgot. No one cares. Well, I found a new spot. I found a new spot. But yeah, like little areas like that packed, packed with guys where I was tempted to be like, how long is that wait? I'm just, I'll just get a drink over here and mingle a bit. And then I'll come back. We have all dinner to talk. I'll be back. Well, you know what we should do because we are dinner reservation on Wednesday is like a little bit on the later side. If we're out early in time, we could grab a drink at one of those bars. It's not that far away. Oh, yeah. I'm down. Or, you know, at the steakhouse or whatever. But it probably will be dating, you know. Yeah, Valentine's Day. I don't think there's going to be tables of bros, but it is a big going out night in New York. I've had a couple fun Valentine's nights where I just went out for drinks with friends. Yeah. You never have this? Especially if it lands on like a weekend, especially. But like, a lot of times it's, you know, it's kind of similar of similar to Halloween or it's like people are out people are you know they don't want to be home it's a it's a it's a holiday that makes you be like I don't really want to just be sitting at home you know that's true so maybe that's what it is yeah so anyway well I'm sure we had a lovely time we had a lovely lovely time. For the time, the time this airs, it was lovely. It was great. I love a steakhouse. But yeah, so I ended up, I was swiping on bumble a bit. I ended up talking to a couple people that were down the shore area. I figured why not? Different pool. Who knows? Hell yeah. Right? Yeah, and I ended up going out with this guy.

I'm actually struggling to come up with a nickname.
