0:17.8	Hey guys, welcome back to Be Met at Acme.
0:19.9	I'm so excited for today's episode with Allison. We are getting back into all dating things. There'll still be motherhood things sprinkled in when I have some, you know, great guests with great conversations or I talk about my life. But this is a dating podcast. So we're getting back into it. And we're
0:41.5	never forgetting, you know, what we're all about. I think that you're really going to love this
0:47.7	conversation with Allison. She's very motivating. She's very matter of fact. I love that. And she's a Libra. So obviously, she's a goddess.
0:56.5	She's a queen. If you aren't already subscribed to our substack, we met at Acme and we met at
1:02.1	baby. If you haven't written a review yet and you want to write something positive, be my
1:07.4	guest. I mean, I would just love that. It would make my day. And if you enjoy the episode,
1:14.7	please feel free to share it with a friend. This one's great for the single ladies, but it's,
1:19.5	and gentlemen, but it's great for, you know, anyone and everyone, because we're always
1:24.3	dating our partners no matter what. So I really hope you enjoy it and I can't wait

1:58.5	Allison, what is your favorite romantic gesture for someone to do for you?
2:02.7	I just like affection. I like lots of hugs. I like lots of kisses. It makes me feel wanted.
2:07.9	It makes me feel sexy, especially, you know, having two under three and I have this many years of not
2:13.2	feeling very sexy. So hugs and kisses. I'm simple like that. I actually think that's very underrated.
2:19.9	I notice when my husband hasn't like kissed me a lot that day or like that week. You know what I
2:25.4	mean? And so I'm with you. When's your birthday? September 27th. I'm a Libra. Oh my God. No Wonder
