    All about online dating, with Ali @findingmrheight

    All about online dating, with Ali @findingmrheight

    On this episode, Ali and I cover the gamut when it comes to dating apps and getting back out there! We talk about everything from which apps to use, to strategy, to creating your profile, to engaging in conversation, and to actually getting out on a date. Then we address how to handle awkward situations, some text scripts to make things simpler in the moments, some dating safety tips, and generally good things to keep in mind while in the early stages of meeting people.  

    Definitely give this one a listen if you are currently in...or looking to get into the dating pool!
