Summary

Mailbag Monday is here, and Jared is fresh from Bloomington, Indiana, ready to dive into your life dilemmas straight from his inbox! This week, he tackles a “petite” dating conundrum: should you keep seeing someone when the sparks (and kisses) just aren’t cutting it? Plus, Jared goes off on a tangent about words, body image, and why no man wants to be called “petite” (spoiler: it hits harder than you think). We also get into the weirdness of offering friendship right after a date, and Jared breaks down how to kindly say “thanks, but no thanks.” Later, a coffee shop drama brews when a listener gets banned from chatting with baristas during a soft opening. Was the owner out of line? Jared’s got thoughts, some strong opinions, and plenty of laughs in between. Sit back, sip your latte, and enjoy another no-filter ride on the JTrain!
