Summary

Instead of stressing about our relationship history, we're here to chat with Sydney Lotuaco about how she ended up engaged to her first real partner at 30 despite her past relationship inexperience. We discuss trying everything from being on the apps to being on the Bachelor (spoiler alert: this isn't where she met her fiancé), the struggles that come with being a late bloomer and losing your virginity "later in life", and how you can recognize a good thing when you see it even without having other relationships to compare it to.

0:00.0	The dateable podcast is an insider's look into modern dating that the
0:04.8	Huffington Post calls one of the top 10 podcasts about love and sex. On each
0:09.5	episode we'll talk to real daters about everything from sex parties to sex droughts, date fails to diaper
0:15.3	fetishes, and first moves to first loves.
0:17.8	I'm your host, U.S.U.
0:19.4	Former dating coach turned dating sociologist.
0:22.0	You also hear from my co-host and producer Julie Craft Chick
0:25.2	as we explore this crazy datable world.
0:28.1	Hi friends, welcome to another episode of the
0:34.6	dateable podcast we are you a and Julie and we are here to help all of us figure
0:40.4	out what is going on in modern dating but in the meantime we're just trying to get over COVID.
0:45.2	I don't know how U.A. and I managed to get COVID at the exact same time as U.A. goes to take a cough break.
0:51.7	You all know that we are both not in the same city currently so it's not

1:21.6	But could you tell people the story of how you think you got it
1:24.6	because you have a way better story than I do?
1:27.7	Well, also you don't know where your source is.
1:29.4	I know exactly where and when I got it. This is the thing, this last weekend, and I, for some reason, I kind of forgot COVID existed this past weekend.
1:39.0	And I guess it had to come to that point at some time because I've been so careful. You and I have been so
1:44.0	careful throughout this entire pandemic. But this past weekend I was like I'm
1:48.7	going out. I'm going to go say yes to all the invites I've gotten and one of them is this house party at a friend's
