Summary
I'm joined by a New Yorker named Maddie who opens up about never having been in a relationship before, and why she thinks it's her biggest green flag. We discuss why someone can still have relationship experience if they’ve never been in a relationship, how to navigate dating and relationship advice with friends, and why you shouldn’t feel like you’re falling behind.

| 0:04.8 | Hey guys, it's Alana and you're listening to seeing other people unfiltered. |
| 0:09.8 | It's Thursday, so that means real-life daters are coming on to share their real, sometimes shocking, and always unfiltered experiences. |
| 0:17.7 | Think you're alone out there? |
| 0:18.9 | Think you're the only one whose ex hooked up with your mom or whose last |
| 0:22.2 | date ended up being a catfish? Think again. My name is Maddie. I'm 26 years old. I live in New York City. |
| 0:30.7 | And I'm here to talk about having never been in a relationship before and going through dating in New York City and what that means. And is |
