Lost in Love Jazmine Cox

It is March 2024, and here we are with an explosive episode on Dating with an age gap. Maybe you have experienced it yourself, are currently in one, or perhaps you have questions around this controversial topic. We are lucky to have Lubna Hoque, an articulate British Bangladeshi writer who identifies as queer and polyamorous, who shares her unique experience with the love of a lifetime with a 37 year age gap, who sadly passed in 2019.



Come on this journey with us as we get...lost in love.

Some things sound good on paper, but when you apply it to real life, it loses its appeal. The same can be said about Long Distance Dating. I try to always remain open-minded when it comes to the realms of love, however the most important thing that I have learnt along the journey is knowing yourself and what is realistic FOR YOU. The idea of love surviving overseas (or across post codes) is a romantic notion, but the real time, day to day concept is much more difficult to sustain. It has taken a while, but I know myself and what makes me happy. Unfortunately, long distance relationships don't quite cut it. And believe me, I have tried.



Bring on 2024 and get lost in love withe me.

How is it already August 2023! Apologies for the delay but we're back! On this episode of Lost in Love, I learn a new word, hesidating, that explores hesitancy and apathy around dating. Can we even be bothered anymore to keep asking the same questions and getting the same disappointments? I talk about some of my personal experiences and how we find ourselves in an uncertain place in the dating realm, particularly post-Covid and in a world that seems to have more and more natural disasters happening everyday. Is the Amazon-style of dating the new norm, or does effort, commitment and communication still exist in the traditional sense when meeting "the one"?

On the second episode of 2023 on Lost in Love, I discuss the common thoughts around dating someone with children? As someone who changed their whole perspective on this topic, I share with you the ways to prepare for issues that may arise. I delve into areas including priority, meeting the kids and being transparent about what you both want moving forward. It isn't easy, dating someone with kids, however, if you enter the conversation, prepared and with acknowledgement to what you may face ahead, it can be a liiiittle bit easier to accept. The most important advice I would share is to make sure YOUR cup is filled from within, before you decide to embark on this journey. What do you think?

It is 2023 and we are back with a bang! On my podcast Lost in Love, I reflect on my introduction to the world of Serial Dating. It is a rollercoaster of a journey into the good, the bad and the ugly sides to what is the fastest growing dating phenomenom, due to the rise of online dating. I break down the definition of a Serial Dater and what to look out for! Are you dating someone who resembles this definition, or could YOU be a serial dater? Is this the best way to protect yourself in a society of fuckboys, noncommittal dates and the decrease in traditional expectations? Or does serial dating suit you just fine, because you aren't looking for anything more? This was a very interesting analysis into something I had to teach myself and I hope my summary around the advantages and disadvantages help you along your way to finding the love you deserve.  

Listen closely, and get lost...in love.

After a short break, Lost in Love is back! But this time we have our first guest, Suzette Brissett - choreographer and agent, and we are talking about dating in our 30s. Does it get easier? Do we really know ourselves now, what red flags to look for, what we find attractive and what will be compatible long term? We share our experiences, laugh loudly and discuss what we have learnt from all our dating endeavours (and failures). Dating in your 30s can't be that hard, can it?

Join me, and let's get lost...in love.
