Summary

Ali & Erica welcome an OG of queer dating coaching & matchmaking onto the pod this week - Dr. Frankie Bashan! You may know her from the sexually fluid season of Are You The One? or from her company Little Gay Book Matchmaking. Dr. Frankie tells us about the specific challenges her queer clients face compared to other daters (and what parallels she sees!) along with giving advice on approaching dating IRL and coming into your own at a later age. We can’t wait for you to hear our conversation!

In Updates, Erica has yet another encounter from her past (what is the universe trying to say??) while Ali recounts her monthly surprise date with Skyline and looks forward to their Paris trip.

Where to find Dr. Frankie: On Instagram @drfrankiebashan on TikTok @drfrankiebashan at www.littlegaybook.com.

Timestamps: Dr. Frankie joins us at around minute 38.
