ABOUT THE HOST
Katie McNamara - London.
 I started Single Sounds to create a new fun method of dating as I felt that there is now little variety with how to meet people. I absolutely love podcasts and believe in the strong sense of self you can get from them so I thought it was perfect for a dating medium.
As I like to say this podcast is for people who have too much personality for a dating app.

"If you want to feel more present in the bedroom, if you want to have more exciting experiences, explore these kinds of things, so much of it comes down to communication and confidence."
"Shame proliferates in silence. If you don't have these conversations, you could be sitting there being like, 'I really want someone to pee on me, but no one wants to.”

This week's guest is a bit of a hopeless romantic with a lot of love to give. His New Year’s resolution is to try and tame his fashion spending habit, particularly with the colour beige, and he is not one to shy away from the camera. He shares stories from awkward burlesque shows to navigational mishaps even in London despite growing up there. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

This London-born single is a hopeless romantic ready to experience love, travel, and will sweep a girl off her feet.

While naturally reserved with new people, he warms up and reveals his caring, affectionate nature once comfortable.

His vanity is balanced by self-awareness, as evidenced by his conscious effort to smile more in photos despite his "smouldering" default.

A non-drinker, he seeks partners who share his values of meaningful connections over alcohol-fuelled interactions.

His strong, long-term friendships are a testament to his loyalty and ability to form deep bonds.

Living at home allows him to prioritise personal growth and financial stability while still enjoying the London dating scene.

His directional challenges have led to memorable dating experiences, showcasing his ability to find humour in awkward situations.


BEST MOMENTS
"I just feel like the smouldering sort of look is like something that people are more drawn to. That's how my twisted mind thinks sometimes."
"I'm using the same places [for dates] in rotation."
"I'd say I'm someone who has a lot of love to give, a lot of care and affection, I'm someone who wants to experience things with new people and the travelling, the romance, the kind of being swept off your feet is something that I'm all the way here for as I get older and get grumpier."
"One of my friends was like, 'oh, I got engaged over the Christmas period'. And you're so happy for them. But also you fucking bastard."
