    Can a bachelor be reformed? with Justin Kaufmann

    Join us in diving deep into the unapologetic bachelor mindset of Justin Kaufmann. There's plenty of eyebrow raisers here while we look at lots of aspects, including what is the allure of trying to get the "bad boy" or "supermodel," dating multiple girls a week, temptation, faithfulness and commitment, and being a father through it all. Is it a sustainable lifestyle? What would it take to "settle down"? Can a bachelor ever really be reformed? -- Justin's concrete company, DAT Concrete Specialists:https://www.datconcrete.com/ My Mindful Match:mymindfulmatch.comFacebookInstagramTikTokYouTubeApple Podcastshttps://linktr.ee/mymindfulmatchaz

    Do Americans find more success dating abroad? with Melanie Reiff

    Talking about international dating is already exciting, but Melanie’s stories took it to another level! From a dinner date in the US with a potential cannibal, to the most romantic singing duet in France that turned into a whirlwind evening, we explore the fantasy and reality of dating abroad, and the core principles that can make or break it. Between Tiana’s skepticism, Marnie’s enthusiasm, and Melanie’s love for all things French, we peel back the layers of international relationships.

    Platonic Relationships - Can Men and Women Really Just Be Friends? with Jason Lucovich

    In this episode, we bring in our long time friend, the unfiltered Jason Lucovich, and dive headfirst into the great debate: Can men and women *really* just be friends? You'll hear personal stories, like Marnie's double standard with male friends, and how Tiana and Jason hilariously faked a dating rumor to cover up an even wilder truth at their old workplace. We also chat about why timing is everything when it comes to these friendships, jealousy, and the importance of boundaries (especially for your significant other's peace of mind!) So, can opposite-sex friendships truly be platonic? Tune in to find out if we bust this myth or declare it a dating truth!

    Is There Always Something Better Out There? with Natalie Katona

    Is there always something better out there—or are we just stuck in swipe mode? In this episode, we’re joined by Natalie Katona, host of the podcast To All the Men I’ve Tolerated Before, to explore the world of unrealistic checklists, the myth of the “perfect” partner, and why dating apps often feel like online shopping. In the search for better, are we actually missing what matters?

    Wait 3 days to text after the 1st date? Dating rule or dating roulette? with Julia Washington

    Joined by guest Julia Washington, founder of Pros and Glow, we delve into the longstanding myth of waiting three days to text after a date and whether it still makes sense in today’s fast-paced digital dating landscape. From classic dating norms to modern communication styles like texting, voice memos, and social media, we unpack the psychology behind playing hard to get, the role of authenticity in relationships, and how responsiveness (or the lack of it) can influence attraction. Julia shares personal stories, navigating dating apps, the impact of early relationship dynamics, and how confidence shifts the way we connect. Does waiting really spark intrigue, or is it just an outdated game?

    Must Haves - Is there such a thing as too many? with Chris DeRosa

    This week on Deconstructing Dating, Tiana and Marnie are joined by special guest Chris DeRosa to tackle one of the most controversial topics in modern romance: the must-have list. You know, that internal spreadsheet of non-negotiables we all pretend we don’t have—until someone shows up wearing crocs to a first date. With a blend of personal stories, hard-won wisdom, solid professional insight, and just the right amount of oversharing, they break down what really matters in a relationship. Is it shared values? Emotional intelligence? Or just someone who doesn’t ghost after three dates and knows how to split an appetizer? Chris also reveals his own must-haves, from family dynamics that won’t require therapy (yet), to friends who pass the vibe check, adaptability in social chaos, and yes—even ambition and generosity. Tune in for laughs, insights, and possibly a minor identity crisis.
