Alice, let me ask you something. Would you trust me to give you dating advice?

I don't think it's an overreach to say I'd rather be single and sad forever. Is that okay?

That's fine. Yeah. No, absolutely fair enough. But what if I told you that Elizabeth Day, yes, how to fail Elizabeth Day, has teamed up with Married at First Sites Mel Schilling for a podcast that actually knows what it's talking about.

Okay, for the first time ever, you have my undivided attention.

It's called How to Date, and it's like a masterclass in surviving the madness of modern dating.

We're talking everything from decoding dating apps to breaking bad patterns, and even surviving the dreaded first date.

Oh Lord. Or, in your case, thinking back in the day,

realizing that sending a picture of your bookcase isn't actually flirting.

Knowledge is attractive, Alice.

Look, they've got expert advice, fascinating guests and plenty of laughs.

Whether you're single, coupled up, or just trying to figure out why

everyone ghosted you on Hinge, this is the podcast for you. And it's actually no coincidence we're

talking about this now, Matt, because your wife actually asked if you wouldn't mind listening to it.

She just said date nights have been a little bit Nottingham Forest based of late.

I mean, I liked it. I presume she would. But anyway, listen to How to Date now, wherever

you get your podcasts. Who knows? It might just save your love life. Or marriage.

Welcome to How to Date, the podcast that teaches you what you need to know about navigating modern romance.

I'm podcaster and author Elizabeth Day.

And I'm Mel Schilling Relationship Coach.

And every week, we aim to give you the skills you need to show up as yourself on the apps and in real life.

From how to survive heartbreak to building confidence and loving yourself first.

From managing clear communication to how to handle rejection.
