    Men Should Get Refunded for Failed Dates... Right? feat. Sean Garvey | Episode 6

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when you spend nearly $200 on a first date, only to hear, “I don’t see a romantic connection”? On this episode of Playing 4 Keeps, DJ sits down with Sean Garvey for a conversation about dating expectations, rejection, money, accountability, and what men and women really owe each other after a date. Sean shares the story of taking a woman out, covering the entire bill, and later jokingly asking for his money back after she told him she wasn’t interested. He also opens up about how his perspective has changed since then, why he now believes some dating lessons simply come with a cost, and how getting to know someone before rushing into a date can save time, money, and disappointment.  But the conversation does not stop there. Sean gets personal about a past relationship that pushed him outside of his comfort zone, challenged how he saw himself, and led to unexpected experiences around intimacy, identity, and personal growth. He and DJ also unpack the difference between being challenged in a relationship and losing yourself trying to become what someone else wants.   And when it comes to what Sean wants now, he makes one thing clear: he is not interested in dating just for the experience anymore. He is looking to build with someone who is healed, intentional, open-minded, and ready for something real.  Follow Sean on Instagram: @seangarveyatl Support the show Produced by Organized Movements Recorded at PriviCast Studio Visit our Website playing4keepsdating.com

    He Got Beat Up on Our First Date feat. Cayla Dee | Episode 5

    Send us Fan Mail Cayla is dating with one goal in mind: finding a husband. She knows her non-negotiables, values consistency, and is not afraid to walk away when something does not align. But one first date tested everything. What started as drinks, dinner, and a strong connection quickly turned into jealousy, an unnecessary confrontation, and a fight that nearly sent her date over a second-floor balcony. Cayla joins DJ to talk about recognizing insecurity early, knowing the difference between reacting from trauma and learning from it, practicing abstinence while dating, and why she is finally open to trying a more intentional dating app. Follow Cayla on Instagram at @thecayladee.

    My Man Had a Secret Second Family feat. Shay | Episode 4

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Playing 4 Keeps, DJ sits down with music consultant Shay, @1missstorm, for an honest conversation about dating-app love, overlooked red flags, love bombing, betrayal, and the danger of falling in love with someone’s carefully created image. Shay opens up about how the relationship began, why she trusted him, and how consistency, generosity, and support made her believe she had found the real thing. She also shares how her faith helped her recognize what she could no longer ignore and gave her the strength to walk away from a life that looked perfect from the outside. DJ and Shay also discuss healing after betrayal, celibacy, emotional safety, ambition, self-love, masculine and feminine energy, and why honesty, transparency, stability, and prayer will be nonnegotiable in Shay’s next relationship. This episode is a reminder that someone can give you everything you asked for and still hide who they truly are. Follow Shay at @1missstorm and follow @playing4keepsdating on all platforms.

    Trust Has to Be Earned feat. J. Lamont | Episode 3

    Send us Fan Mail Lamont broke one rule, got caught with another woman, and ended up ducking behind his car while the woman he was dating fired shots. In this episode of Playing 4 Keeps, DJ sits down with 44-year-old day trader and real estate investor Lamont to hear a dating story that nearly cost him his life. What started as a casual situation involving three people became dangerous when Lamont secretly continued seeing the other woman and broke the one agreement they had made. But the conversation does not stop with the shooting. DJ challenges Lamont on whether he actually lied, what accountability looks like when there are no official titles, and whether past relationship experiences should affect how much trust a new person receives. They also debate exclusivity, clean slates, moving with caution, and why trust should be earned through consistency, loyalty, and actions. Lamont may be older and wiser now, but DJ still has questions about how much he has really changed. Lamont is also available on the Playing 4 Keeps dating app. Swipe right, play the compatibility game, and see whether you are his match. Follow @playing4keepsdating on all platforms.

    Fake Ring, Real Scam feat. Nikki Lee | Episode 2

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when your high school sweetheart comes back ten years later with an engagement ring, nearly $2,000 in checks, and a plan to scam you out of your rent money? In this episode of Playing 4 Keeps, DJ sits down with Atlanta host, stylist, mother, grandmother, and full-time student Nikki Lee for a raw and hilarious conversation about modern dating, relationship red flags, long-distance love, bisexuality, healing, and dating with intention. Nikki shares the shocking story of reconnecting with a man who once owed her $400. After months of talking, he flew to Atlanta, proposed in a restaurant, promised her a new life, and appeared to repay everything he owed. By Monday morning, Nikki learned the checks were fake, the engagement ring was glass, and the entire romantic weekend had been funded with money he stole from her bank account. What makes this story even wilder is that Nikki later discovered she was not his only victim. DJ and Nikki also get honest about consistency versus constant communication, recognizing emotionally unavailable partners, protecting your peace, and why Black singles cannot allow good chemistry or great sex to distract them from obvious warning signs. Through every betrayal and dating disappointment, Nikki refuses to become bitter. Her philosophy is simple: never a failure, always a lesson. Follow Nikki Lee on Instagram at @iamnikki_lee.
