    I Don't Want Kids. What It’s Like Living Outside the Script.

    In this episode of Last Date, I sit down with Carrie to talk about one of the most polarizing topics in modern dating: choosing not to have children. Carrie has known for most of her life that she doesn't want kids, and unlike many people, she's spent years thinking deeply about that decision. We discuss the reactions she receives when she tells dates she doesn't want children, why dating can be more challenging when you choose not to have children, and the pressure many people feel to follow the traditional "life script" of marriage, kids, and settling down. We also explore: • Consciously deciding whether to have children rather than treating parenthood as the default • The social pressure women face around motherhood • Why some people react so strongly when someone chooses a different path • Dating while digital nomading • Why a fulfilling life can take many different forms Whether you want children, don't want children, or are still figuring it out, this conversation is ultimately about making intentional choices and building a life that feels right for you—not the one other people expect you to live.

    Why Great Guy Friends Can Be Terrible Boyfriends, Trauma Dumpers, and the Taxi Light Theory

    In this episode of Last Date, I sit down with Vic, who reached out on Instagram with a question I couldn't stop thinking about: why do some men make incredible friends — and then fall completely apart the moment things turn romantic? We get into why men with options refuse to go all in, and why Vic's litmus test for whether a guy actually likes her is devastatingly simple. We discuss: - The friendship that turned romantic — and how quickly he became a different person entirely - Why men with options resist committing (and why that fear of missing out is costing them) - Good Time Charlies: why the most fun guy in the room may be the last one to settle down - What it means when a man dumps all his emotional trauma on you within the first hour of a date - Why not asking questions is a sign that a guy only wants one thing - The taxi light theory and the avocado theory Vic also shares the bar approach that actually works on her (hint: it involves a stain on a shirt).

    From People Pleasing to Setting Boundaries, Bad Dates with Good Men, and Going For What You Want

    In this episode of Last Date, I sit down with Dana, a self-described recovering people pleaser who went from losing herself completely in relationships to building a life so full that it's hard to find a partner who is a value add. We get into how she went from boy crazy to briefly hating men — and why this mentality was holding her back, what she learned when she stopped morphing herself into whoever she thought a guy wanted her to be, and the moment she pushed a guy away mid-kiss and told him exactly why. We discuss: - Going on good dates with bad men vs bad dates with good men - How a fancy resort trip fooled her into thinking there was real chemistry - "I wasn't attracting the same type of man — I was accepting the same type of behavior" - Setting boundaries to explain how she wants to be treated - The thing many men are getting wrong on the first date. Dana also shares the line that stuck with me: "I used to fear abandonment from men. Now I fear abandonment from myself." Follow on Spotify for future conversations.

    Breaking Up, What Women Find Attractive, and the First Date Mistake That Gets You Blacklisted

    In this episode of Last Date, I sit down with Keighley, who recently went through a breakup--with someone she still works with. We discuss:- The difference between how men and women process a breakup — and why women feel a bigger void - Why she won't sleep with someone until they're officially her boyfriend - How to make women feel safe - The slow burn: how she ended up falling for someone she never would have considered - The single biggest first date mistake men make - The friend group blacklist — and how your reputation follows you in a small community Keighley also shares what it's actually like when your ex is dancing with someone else two feet away from you, why she once reverse-catfished herself on Hinge, and what a man reveals about himself when he says "my mom never hugged me" within the first two minutes of a date.

    The Approach Gap, What Actually Creates Compatibility, and Why Men Are Avoiding Intentional Dating

    In this episode of Last Date, I sit down with Jenn Mann, founder of Meet at the Mirror — an intentional Christian singles community in Austin, Texas. Jenn has a front-row seat to what separates people who find their person from people who don't. We discuss: The approach gap: women want to be approached but men aren't approachingWhy "just say hi" is better than any pickup lineThe real reason men avoid intentional dating spaces (it's not the money)What actually makes two people compatible — and why your list is probably too longHow to figure out your non-negotiables by asking how you want to feel in a relationshipWhy the three-day texting rule doesn't work anymoreJenn also shares how redoing her values exercise a month ago ended a long stretch of being "invisible to men" — and how the dates that followed were some of the best she's been on.

    Dating as a Single Mom: What Men Assume, What She Actually Needs, and Why She's Not in a Rush

    In this episode of Last Date, I sit down with Jen, a single mom of two who got married at 20 and barely dated before that — meaning when she started dating again in her early 30s, she was essentially starting from scratch. We get into what it actually looks like to date when your life already feels full, why motherhood gave her more confidence than any dating experience could have, and what men consistently get wrong about single moms. We discuss: Why having kids made her a more confident, grounded dater — and how she uses her parenting voice on herselfThe "houseplant energy" shift that happens when your kids become teenagersWhy she's in no rush to find someone — and how that actually makes dating easierWhat she really needs from a partner (hint: it's not a stepdad)The assumptions men make about dating single moms — and how they're usually wrongWhy the lock screen on her phone has become an instant compatibility test Jen also shares the story of how she accidentally became someone's worst date ever — while closing on the house she still lives in today. This conversation is warm, self-aware, and a good reminder that dating a single mom isn't the complication most men assume it is. It might actually be the opposite.

    Age Gaps, Men Who Don't Follow Through, and Why Your Dog Is Your Best Wingman

    In this episode of Last Date, I sit down with Kelsea, a 36-year-old who has dated across three cities — Milwaukee, Denver, and Austin — and across three decades of men. We discuss: Why Denver was Kelsea's worst dating cityThe approach from men that consistently works — and why it takes all the pressure offThe five men who asked for her number recently and not one followed up for a dateWhat dating men in their 20s, 30s, and 40s actually looks like — and which decade surprised her mostThe drop-off she noticed after turning 35 on dating appsHeight filters, age gatekeepers, and why dating in your community bypasses all of itKelsea also shares one of her best first dates (that includes a great tip for testing compatibility), one of her worst (that ended in an apology), and the story behind the nickname "Sour Patch Kelsea." This conversation is honest, self-aware, and a good reminder that the best dating filter might not be an app — it might just be showing up, staying open-minded...and bringing your dog.

    Why Good Dancers Do Better in Dating

    In this episode of Last Date, I sit down with Eric Moreno, a two-step instructor in Austin, Texas, to talk about what dancing can teach us about attraction, confidence, and relationships. Eric shares what he’s learned from years of dating within a close-knit dance community — including how to be honest about your intentions from the start, how to navigate breakups when you share the same social circle, and why maturity matters when dating in community. We also discuss: • Why being a good dancer is so attractive • How attunement and presence make people feel safe • The connection between dancing, confidence, and intimacy• How healthy couples handle jealousy • Eric’s “secret” to dating attractive women over the years • The concept of courage before confidence • Why so many men avoid learning skills they aren’t instantly good at • The importance of teachability: being willing to learn and willing to change • Why authenticity matters — but so does becoming your best self Eric also shares the story of a woman walking off the dance floor while he was learning to dance — and how that rejection became a great lesson. This conversation is about attraction, growth, and why learning to move through discomfort may be one of the most underrated dating skills there is.
