  1. How to be single and date in 2024 with Katie Mc & Daisie-Belle

    2024/07/22

    How to be single and date in 2024 with Katie Mc & Daisie-Belle

    Katie speaks with Daisie-Belle from the Daisie Dates Podcast for a candid chat about modern dating. They explore everything from approaching people in real life to dealing with ghosting and maintaining healthy relationships. Katie and Daisie share their own experiences and practical advice, this episode will help you navigate the dating world with confidence and help you feel less alone in the sometimes chaotic world of modern dating! KEY TAKEAWAYS  Approaching people in real life: Be bold and remember you have nothing to lose. If you get rejected, it's not necessarily about you. Multi-dating can help reduce dating burnout and provide perspective on potential matches. How do you deal with being the only single friend in a friendship group? How to deal with the fear of being ghosted? What to do when your boyfriend's best friend makes no effort with you? How do you know when you've found "the spark" on a date? What to do when the person you are dating says they aren't ready for a serious relationship but will "get back to you" in a few months? Healthy relationships involve maintaining individual identities, consistent behaviour, and open communication. The "spark" is often misunderstood. A good connection should feel like getting into a warm bath - safe and comfortable! Give potential partners a chance beyond the first date, as nerves or circumstances may affect initial impressions. Understanding attachment styles can provide insight into dating behaviours and help build more secure relationships. Balancing time between friends and romantic partners is crucial for maintaining a healthy social life and relationship. BEST MOMENTS "I always knew that he was gonna tell me what the date would be the next week. When you do meet the right person that's as keen on you as you are them, you actually are never questioning if they're going to ghost you."  "I romanticise my solo time a lot. You have to do that. “ "Butterflies are horrible. I really hope I never ever have to feel like that ever again. It's the one of the worst feelings I think when you're dating. I think that's worse than being ghosted." "The spark is just a thing that doesn't exist anyway, the thing that everyone's chasing that is not real. I think most people now, I'd hope they know that it's not real." "I write down like things that I'm really interested in. I have an actual physical list. This might sound crazy, but I think it's good to come in like prepared if there are like awkward silences or the person you're meeting is more introverted."  VALUABLE RESOURCES Daisie-Belle Instagram Daisie Dates Podcast Instagram 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.   CONTACT METHOD - Linktree - https://linktr.ee/singlesounds  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/singlesounds/  singlesoundspodcast@gmail.com             Learn more about your ad choices.

"I am quite happy to try new things. I'm always, like, I think I have a good time doing anything. I'll have a good time just sitting on the sofa. And also, like, going on an adventure."

    The one with the consistency king

    Tickets to July's Blind Dating LIVE show Katie interviews a former finance professional who boldly switched careers to become a personal trainer.

This episode offers a unique glimpse into this singles world, from tales of escaping dates to insights on maximising life. Tune in to discover if you're the perfect match for this ambitious, travel-loving, and consistently kind bachelor! KEY TAKEAWAYS  He transitioned from a stable finance career to pursuing his passion as a personal trainer, showcasing his willingness to take risks. He values consistency highly, applying it to his fitness routine, language learning, and relationships. He is learning Spanish, driven by his love for Spanish culture and desire to be bilingual later in life. As an early riser, he seeks a partner who aligns with his schedule and appreciates the importance of good sleep. He's an avid traveller and hopes to explore more of the world with a future partner. He describes himself as having "golden retriever energy" - positive and enthusiastic, unless he's severely sleep-deprived then he can be a moody boy.

So, you know, if I do make friends with people or I get into a relationship with someone, I do take it very seriously and I'd say I'm quite a loyal person." "My controversial opinion, I think Abba are massively overrated... This goes for anything that's just overplayed on nights out." "If I'm up at five in the gym for six, okay. I need to be in bed early. So again, I need someone that understands that I'm an early bird, someone that's on a similar schedule."

  5. How to make better choices by date tracking with Jillian Romero Chaves

    How to make better choices by date tracking with Jillian Romero Chaves

    Katie chats with Jillian Romero Chaves, the founder of Clara for Daters - an app that helps singles track their dates and make better choices when dating. We track a lot of things in life we want to improve or make progress on so why not track your dating journey? Jillian shares her own dating experiences and how tracking her dates on her own app has helped her learn more about herself and the type of person she is looking for. Tune in to learn how to navigate the modern dating world with more self-awareness and positivity. Tickets to July's Blind Dating LIVE show KEY TAKEAWAYS  Clara for Daters helps users track dates by asking helpful post-date questions, enabling them to make better choices in the early stages of dating. Tracking dates helps daters stay accountable, recognise patterns, and focus on qualities that matter in a potential partner. Multi-dating, or going on dates with multiple people, can help anxious attachment styles by preventing fixation on one person and encouraging a slower pace. The data from Clara confirms that conversion rates from dating app matches to in-person dates are low Focusing on enjoying individual connections and learning from each date brings you closer to finding the right partner, rather than fixating on the end goal. BEST MOMENTS "Dating intentionally means going on dates. If you can be on the apps and saying you're dating intentionally and never go on a date, that's not dating intentionally." "Don't focus on that big end goal. Just focus on those connections in the moment and it'll get closer." "I feel like that's what you learn the more you multidate - you have these conversations, then you're like, okay, now I feel comfortable to have it again if it came up." "It's important that we have that safe space to reflect by ourselves. It's important." "The whole idea is we're trying to make dating fun again. It is tough and you can't sugar coat it, but you can do things as tools like Clara to help get better."
