Psychology in Seattle.

So Umberto, I thought we would do an episode in which we answered a lot of people's questions and we went into some very

different things. I think we have some exciting things to talk about today and

we'll eventually get to some story that you've been waiting to tell me about

Bogota. Right. So I can't wait to hear this because for the past two episodes,

you said, okay, I got a story about Bogus.

And I'm like, okay, we'll get to it,

and we never get to it, so it better be good oh God now it's going to be

underwhelming this this is the psychology and Seattle podcast I'm your host

Dr Kirk Honda I'm a therapist and a professor my name is Umberto Kastagna

and I drive around a pop truck.

So this first bit is a new thing that I decided to do.

A listener, a patron Colin actually sent us an audio clip for us to listen to and then we'll react to it.

With this I kind of thought of it as a unique way to introduce myself to your

And there's an emphasis, especially in modern dating and in playing games.

But specifically, I want to talk about the abrupt cutoff and the retreat because I think that that's a part of, especially online dating when you meet somebody online and then even if you

meet them in person but dating in general for I can only speak for myself I'm a 28 year old
