0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:06.7	Hey guys, welcome back to We Met at Act Media. I am going to talk about some things that I haven't
0:13.0	really talked about yet on the podcast. I feel like it's been over a month now since I went through
0:23.2	my breakup and I am starting to put myself out there again and to date and I feel like
0:32.5	you know something that made you guys get into We Met at Act Media in the first place was my
0:38.6	talking being candid about these dates and about dating and what it's been like for me. So I feel
0:44.8	like I owe you guys to get into that again and also it's fun so why not? So I went on, let's see,
0:56.0	I've been on a couple dates. The first one that I went on, it was a coffee date which was really

1:58.4	to first kisses. So there was not a first kiss whether it was because it was a day date or because
2:05.9	this person was nervous, whatever it was. It was a good date though and then I went on another date
2:13.2	and with a different person. It was a setup and I'm going to explain by the way why none of these
2:20.4	are from dating apps in a second but it was a setup and I went to meet them at Ludlow House which is
2:30.0	a cute spot and this person was a really sweet guy but not the person for me and I swear to God
2:39.6	you can tell within like five minutes of a date if it's going to go well and I feel like we have
2:43.6	this conversation with Brandon Harrison on the updating episode. You can just tell right away
