Dating can be hard (and expensive!) when you're dating multiple people at once, never sure if that first date will amount to anything more. In this week’s brunch talk, we’re discussing balancing all the planning aspects of modern dating with putting your best foot forward for each new person you meet. We discuss the differences between first dates and meet and greets, how to do a "vibe check" without killing the vibe, and ways to plan more intentional lower-budget first dates that still wow.

From the Bachelor to Love is Blind to Indian Matchmaking, how much is reality TV is seeping into real-life dating? We're chatting with Natasha & Justine from 2 Black Girls, 1 Rose about what reality dating shows teach us (if anything) about modern dating, love, and relationships. We discuss why we're all so intrigued by reality shows in the first place, how the pick-me mentality has been perpetrated into dating culture, and ways reality TV shows have made us buy into (or out of) the fantasy of love.Follow 2 Black Girls, 1 Rose on Instagram @2BlackGirls1Rose and check out their podcast ‘2 Black Girls, 1 Rose’ wherever you get your podcastsFollow us @dateablepodcast, @juliekrafchick and @nonplatonic.

Maybe you've experienced that great date only to be confused when it didn't result in a kiss goodnight – or anything more. Are they just not that into you....or could it be something else? We’re discussing the different ways we all experience desire as we chat with Mike about being a hetero man who leans more on the submissive spectrum. We discuss the differences between responsive and spontaneous desire, how gender roles perpetuate stereotypes, and why we need to better understand our partners instead of making assumptions.
