Summary
Ali & Roark start off this week’s episode with some huge personal updates – buckle up! Then, they continue their discussion of anxiety in dating from early dates to during a relationship. They cover a huge range of topics including how to share your needs, how to self-soothe, when to bring your partner into your anxiety and ask them for help, and how to manage anxious feelings about being on the same page. Ali and Roark share personal anecdotes of experiences that have made them anxious – accidentally giving each other new things to worry about – and how they reframe their thoughts to feel calmer.

| 0:07.5 | I sound like such a fucking nark. |
| 0:09.5 | Anyway. |
| 0:10.4 | Intimidated times. |
| 0:14.6 | You sound like you've never had sex before in your life. |
| 0:17.2 | Guys. You're like. |
| 0:30.6 | Hello. Hello, and welcome to another episode of Finding Mr. Hide the podcast. |
| 0:33.1 | I'm Allie, back with my co-host, Rourke. |
| 0:35.7 | Rourke, there are a lot of updates this week. Yeah, it's very funny. So you and I are in like very different places right now, I think. I was going to say, there are not only are there a lot of updates, but there are, the updates are just wildly polarized. Exactly, exactly. However, like, it's all fine. Whatever. Also, like, we've got a lot to get to. We'll stick to the meat of it. But I do have a great phone-throwing moment from a friend that I do want to share because it's worthwhile. Oh, exciting. So, okay, first, first, I'm just going to, like, I'm going to drop some bombs on the listeners. I'm excited. I am ready. I am aware and ready. I am sheltered from the shrapnel. |
| 1:13.7 | Yeah. So, okay. So a fact that I have never shared about the classmate that I will share now is that he has two kids. |
| 1:23.5 | He has two kids. Oh, one thing. You have shared it with the Discord group, which I think is just a, we've decided that we need to plug these things more often because it fucking works when we plug them. So I'm just going to make that plug that we, you know, you were able to share that with them and get some good support. Yeah, because we have some single moms dating in the Discord, |
| 1:45.3 | and I kind of wanted to speak to somebody who obviously is on the other side as I was the |
| 1:50.2 | kidless one in the relationship. But that was, it was very like normalizing and nice for me to |
| 1:55.9 | have that conversation. Because obviously people in my friend group don't have a ton of experience dating people |
| 2:02.0 | with kids. |
| 2:02.9 | Anyway. |
| 2:03.3 | So bomb number one. |
| 2:04.5 | Yes, bomb number one. |
| 2:05.3 | And the reason I held that back is because even though I wasn't, like we weren't doing |
| 2:09.3 | anything that would have affected things, like he or sharing, you know, there's nothing |
| 2:13.9 | illicit happening. |
| 2:15.1 | But like my concern was something inadvertent |
