I’m 31, have never had a boyfriend, and my one real date ended in chaos—so now I’m turning my tragic love life into a comedy experiment. With the help of dating mentors aka my best friends, I’m navigating swipes, red flags, and cringe-inducing encounters while you laugh, learn, and maybe feel grateful you’re not me. Think rom-com meets reality show—minus the happy ending…for now. 💔 FOLLOW & LISTEN TO FLIRT FAIL 🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://spotify.com/flirtfail 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://applepodcasts.com/flirt-fail 📱 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@flirt_fail 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/flirt_fail ▶️ Subscribe on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@flirt_fail New episodes every 3 weeks — more flirting, more failing, same emotional damage. 💀 imaflirtfail.substack.com

    First Date Fumbles

    First dates sound cute in theory. In reality? They’re a social experiment with snacks. In this episode of Flirt Fail, we’re talking everything first dates — what to say, what to avoid, and how to escape without an “emergency” phone call from a friend. We get into: • Conversation topics that kill the vibe instantly • Where to go on a first date (and where NOT to) • How to end a date gracefully…or not • And first-date horror stories that should qualify as public service announcements If you’ve ever gone on a date and immediately texted your friends “I hate it here,” this episode is for you. 💔 FOLLOW & LISTEN TO FLIRT FAIL 🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://spotify.com/flirtfail 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://applepodcasts.com/flirt-fail 📱 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@flirt_fail 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/flirt_fail ▶️ Subscribe on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@flirt_fail New episodes every 3 weeks — more flirting, more failing, same emotional damage. 💀 #FlirtFail #DatingPodcast #SingleGirlChronicles #ComedyPodcast This is a public episode.

    Swipe Now, Cry Later

    Welcome back to Flirt Fail, where my love life is a group project and I’m the weakest link. This week, we’re tackling the one place romance goes to die: the dating apps. My friends stage a full-on intervention, reviewing every prompt, photo, and flirting tactics I apparently should’ve retired in Kindergarten. Then they make me do the scariest part of online dating: 👉 Send actual messages to actual men. Not drafts. Not screenshots. Like… real messages that I can’t unsend. We talk red flags, green flags, what makes a profile swipeable, and how to flirt without sounding like a customer service rep. If you’ve ever opened a dating app and immediately closed it—this episode is your soulmate. 💔 New episodes every 3 weeks #FlirtFail #DatingApps #ProfileMakeover #ComedyPodcast #SingleGirlDisasters This is a public episode.

    Flirting for Dummies (Me)

    In this debut episode of Flirt Fail, I attempt the impossible: meeting men in real life. From awkward eye contact to my attempt to get a man's attention by tripping him (spoiler: I missed), this episode covers flirting fundamentals, IRL meet-cutes gone wrong, and why I probably shouldn’t be trusted near men.💔 Watch me turn my romantic chaos into comedy — and maybe learn what NOT to do next time you flirt.
