Hi, I'm U.S.U. And I'm Julie Craftchick. We're active daters turned dating insiders. Here to dive into

everything, modern dating and relationships. Welcome to Datable.

Hello, friends. Welcome back to another episode of Datable on the off season.

And we're going to give you some updates today.

In case you're wondering, what's going on in our lives that we haven't talked about?

We're going to give you all the details, spill the tea today.
