advice you don't want to hear. My name is Sierra de Mulder. And I'm Sam Blackwell. And today

we're going to answer a letter from somebody who wants to be positive about dating, but she just

isn't. But before we begin, we just want to give you our Surgeon General's warning, which is that

Sierra and I are not licensed mental health practitioners. No, we just want to give you our Surgeon General's warning, which is that Sierra and I are not licensed to mental health practitioners.

No, we are not.

We are not professionals.

We are not trained in any of this.

So please take our advice as you see fit.

We're only here to offer our humble musings to hopefully shed some understanding and maybe

some laughs about the incredibly rewarding but mostly confusing experience

that is love. All right. Let's get into today's letter. So today's letter comes from

Queen of Terrible Dating Luck, whose pronouns are She Her, who is writing from Federalized

Washington, D.C. terrifying, I hope that you are safe.

Hello, Sam and Sierra.

First, I want to say thank you for this podcast.

I listen to it every morning on my daily walks,

and it gives me so much good energy to start my day.

I feel like I can relate to every story that's being told,

so I get to learn something about myself while connecting with you and other listeners.

You are so great.

Thank you.
