Summary

In this episode, I sit down with my friend and talented cartoon artist Arianna Margulis of But Like Maybe. We talk about what not to do when you’re dating in your early 20s, her favorite passage from her new book, our own personal mistakes, a bad date I went on, why set-ups don’t work, and more! This episode starts with a solo where I discuss how to attract people IRL, rebounds, dating again without alcohol, how you know if they’ll be a good parent, and more!

0:06.6	Hi guys, welcome back to We Met at Acme. Today's episode is one of my good friends,
0:11.1	Ariana. She's incredible. She's crushing it. She wrote a book. I'm not going to tell you more
0:16.8	because I want you to check out the episode. But first, I'm going to answer a few of your
0:21.4	questions that you had written in. So many Valentine's Day questions, but we did address this on
0:27.0	the last episode. I would say if you're not official, you know, just to repeat, if you're not
0:31.6	official with someone on Valentine's Day, acknowledge it. You don't want this weird elephant in the room.

1:39.0	people just know themselves better and they know who they are and what they want. When they get
1:46.0	out of a relationship, if they meet someone right away, great. If they don't for a while, great. I
1:52.5	don't think there anyone should be passing judgment on either. How has it been dating since you don't
1:58.1	drink? That's a great question. I'm just, I'm very new to the dating world again. I'm upfront about
2:08.2	the fact that I don't drink. The right person is okay with that. We'll say something like,
2:19.1	oh, been trying to cut back anyway or ask mindful questions. Would it do you mind if I have
2:28.8	some wine or something like that? I don't. I don't at all. It's my choice. I don't feel the
