Summary

Ali is answering listener questions in a dedicated Hot Topics episode this week! First, a listener receives a no ghosting script after a fourth date and wonders if she should ask for more clarity. Then, we talk about sarcastic/negative answers on dating app profiles - are they a dealbreaker? Our third listener has an old hook-up come back into the picture, and she’s struggling to see it objectively. Then, a listener worries that her partner isn’t aligned with her five-year plan. And finally, we chat about proactive communication in early dating - what to do if you haven’t heard from someone after a great second date?

In updates, Ali is back from Morocco and enjoying being home for a while. She chats highlights like surprise date night and makeup lessons, and lowlights like a triggering moment that has her reflecting on past experiences (TW: SA).

This week’s media mention is from The New Yorker article, “The New Business of Breakups.” (for Apple pods, link here: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/12/09/the-new-business-of-breakups)

Timestamps: Hot Topics begins at around minute 30.

0:00.0	It's not just time that impacts how resolved or unresolved a breakup is.
0:05.5	And it's also not the length of that relationship.
0:08.1	Like a lot of people say, you know, time heals all wounds, right?
0:10.6	And that's true to an extent.
0:12.2	But it's not a linear process.
0:14.0	And it's not a one-size-fits-all.
0:15.8	Like, it's not equitable.
0:17.8	Time is not equitable to all wounds.
0:33.3	Yeah. equitable. Time is not equitable to all wounds. Hello and welcome to other episode of founding Mr. Hyde the podcast. I'm your host, Allie Jackson. I am bringing you my positive and
0:37.1	practical approach to dating informed by my own experience. I'm excited to be back in New York for quite a bit now. I don't, well, that's not sure. I have a short trip to San Diego in a couple weeks, or I guess it's actually next weekend. But I'm excited to be more at home for the next couple of months because April was a wild
0:56.6	month of travel and I enjoyed all of my trip so much and I'm so lucky and grateful to be able
1:02.4	to travel that amount. And I'm excited to be home for a little while. So the trip I just got back
1:08.0	on was the one to Morocco with my mom, and I talked about it a bit in my
1:11.2	intro last week, but it was just truly an incredible trip. Not only the trip itself, I mean,
1:16.7	like I was mentioning, it is the most luxurious trip I've ever been on, likely will ever go on
1:21.9	unless my mom wins again next year. But it was not only that, like the trip itself was incredible and all of
1:31.1	the things that we did were amazing. Truly the best part of it was experiencing all of it with my mom
1:36.2	and having just all of that bonding time. We travel really well together. We traveled a lot together.
1:45.3	I knew that. I know that already. But just I love group travel. Like I love traveling with other people. It's one of the
1:50.8	reasons why I started running my own trips is because I really love the experience of doing
1:55.8	something new and looking to a person next to you and being like how fucking cool is that.
2:01.7	And I just can't overstate how cool it is to do that with my mom and to have the privilege
