Hey guys, it's Alana and you're listening to seeing other people unfiltered.

Each Thursday on Unfiltered, I'll be bringing on a different anonymous guests to open up about their real life dating experiences.

We'll discuss what they went through or are going through, how they navigated it, what they've learned, and what advice they have to anyone else going through something similar. Unfiltered is your reminder that no matter what you're going through, you're not alone. If you have a topic that you'd like to discuss on Unfiltered, please email your story to Seeing Other People podcast at gmail.com to be

dating chronicles, which is an interesting time to be single in 2022. Yeah, I love the dating

chronicles kind of angle of it because I feel like there are so many

times where I do these episodes about a very specific topic. But some of my favorite episodes

of unfiltered and just general seeing other people episodes are the episodes where I'm just

sitting down with someone talking about what's been going on in their dating lives because it's just so real and raw and relatable and like, holy shit sometimes, you know,

and I have a feeling that that's where this is going to go. Yeah, it's a bit of like same, same,

but different. Like you can very much relate to your girlfriend's stories about it, but you're also

like, but that also hasn't happened to me.

So there's a mix of both. For sure. So what is currently going on in your dating life?

I love the love the nervous giggle, the like silent judgment from my my circle of friends.

So I'm single um i have a on off sort of friends with benefit situation that i can lean on um that i've had for a year a year okay we're definitely

gonna ask questions about this yep yep it's contentious within everyone else's life. They're like, oh, don't do that. Don't do that. But I'm not, I'm not on the dating apps at the moment. I'm just taking a much needed pause. It feels like you're saying hi to the regulars every time you get the app back. You're like, oh, hey, I've seen you before. And then you're like, oh, shit. Like, is that what they say when they see me? Like, oh, she's still here? And I have had that happen, which is very embarrassing. So, yeah, so yeah, single. And I wouldn't say, like, ready to mingle. It's more just like I'm just paused.
