It’s Mailbag Monday, and Jared is answering two juicy listener emails with the honesty only a stranger can give. First up: a woman stuck in a “great on paper” relationship with a guy who’s already calling dibs in their mutual friend group, even though she’s just not feeling it. Jared breaks down how to end things gracefully and preserve your social standing. Then: a babysitter writes in after her tatted, jacked employer (read: hot single dad) asks her out for dinner and a swim, without the kid. Jared digs into the boundary-blurring mess, offers tactical advice, and issues a PSA about hot dads who “just need adult conversation.” Tune in! Also, Jared is on the road 👉 https://jaredfreid.com/
