Hi, everybody. Good morning, good afternoon or good evening, whatever time you're listening.

Or good night. Go to sleep. Welcome back to Fingers Cross podcast. Happy Tuesday, if you're listening today,

and we are so happy that you're here with us. I'm Sierra. And I'm Christy. And today we're talking

about something that obviously everyone loves to talk about dating, about, you know, dating horror

stories, hilarious fails or just things that went right or just like dating tips in general like I don't know people

like it's such like a common thing I feel like on any podcast or show people always want to talk about

it and we haven't really done I mean obviously I'm in a relationship and we've just gotten out of

pretty much an over year long pandemic where most people haven't been dating. So it's kind of people have. It's just

been very different. And it hasn't been the traditional, nothing's really traditional about these days.

But you know what I mean? Like it's a very different, it's a weird dating. I know people who have done

FaceTime dates and stuff like that. But I mean, I feel like that can only go so far because then you like, you want to actually meet that person. And also there's like, you know, you want to, there's an element

personally, where, um, I love the when I'm dating somebody or like, not even dating,

but like, you know, the whole talking stage. I love the witty banter texting stage. That's, like,

one of my favorite stages because people are just so clever. And like, it's honestly something that like what I would

weed people out that way is like we have to be able to have like witty banter conversation.

Like, you know, coming up with insane hypotheticals, then the other person going with it.

You know what I mean? And you just like being ridiculous and like clever or whatever.

Definitely. But I also think there's like sometimes there's people that are like super charismatic and really have big personalities and everything and have that banter in person, but they just don't come across in text at all. So it's like if you're basing your perception of that on text, like if that's how you're building your relationship and you're like, oh, this isn't going to work. Like, they don't have the same level of banter as me. But it's just because they suck at texting.

Like, that could really give you a bad impression. That's how it would be impression. Or what I was

going to say is what happened was I was doing the like witty banter talking stage with this guy for a really long time. And then when we, I say a really long time. It was maybe like,
