Summary
Ali & Roark have wanted to do an episode focused on LGBTQIA+ dating for a while now, and Pride Month felt like the perfect time! As always, they start with their updates. Ali is *accidentally* perpetrating CRIME and has an all-time phone throwing moment and Roark ran into an ex at a coffee shop. Then, they have two amazing guest segments. First, Ariella Serur, @queerdatingcoach on Instagram, comes on the pod to have both an insightful and fun conversation. Ariella tells Ali & Roark all about her work as (you guessed it) a queer dating coach. They discuss how queer daters don’t have a “map” or “playbook” of norms like heteronormative daters do, and Ariella shares her “four quadrants” for how to meet people. Then, Ali & Roark welcome in Roark’s friend Nicole, @nic_nak_cooks. Nicole is a gay woman dating in LA and brings wild stories from the dating front lines.
Timestamps: Ariella’s interview begins at around 23:20; Nicole joins at around 1:10:00

| 0:47.2 | talk to her, we will ask her about this because the fact that she got that handle is nuts. |
| 0:51.2 | But we thought that in honor of Pride Bunt that we would talk to her as well as one |
| 0:56.3 | of your friends who will get into in a second. But Arellia has a dating coaching practice where in |
| 1:01.1 | her word, she helps kind queer folks navigate the dating landscape so they have the courage |
| 1:06.0 | to go after what they want in dating and in life. I love that mission statement. We could not be more aligned. |
| 1:12.9 | I feel like it's going to be a great conversation. |

| 1:16.4 | And I think that something that that kind piece of it is something that she, I found her |
| 1:21.6 | on Instagram through one of my followers who I had asked, and it asked me anything. |
| 1:26.8 | One of my followers had asked for queer dating resources, |
| 1:30.4 | and I at the time wasn't very well versed in that. |
| 1:33.6 | So I actually asked my followers for tips. |
| 1:37.3 | And somebody suggested her, and I started following her. |
| 1:40.3 | We started DMing. |
| 1:41.1 | And our mission statements just couldn't line up more. So I'm so excited to talk to her. |
| 1:46.4 | Yeah. And so we have Arellia and then we have a friend of mine, Nicole, who is a gay woman dating in L.A. |
| 1:54.2 | And she's going to sort of give us the, as we call it, it's actually funny because it's almost you and my dynamic, right? |
| 2:01.2 | Oh, my God, you're so right. Yeah. Like, you're the coach in the trenches. I'm just in the |
