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.

Katie chats with Molly Cookson from 2 Girls 1 Pup about their adventures in dating off the apps so far in 2024. From speed dating disasters to man crawls, they share their experiences and insights on trying new ways to meet potential partners. Get ready for a fun-filled discussion that will make you feel less alone in your dating struggles! 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

Molly and Katie emphasise the importance of having single friends who can relate to your dating experiences and provide support.

Participating in various dating events and activities can help bring fun back into the dating process and alleviate the pressure of relying solely on dating apps.

Being open-minded when meeting new people is crucial, as you may find a connection with someone you wouldn't have initially considered on a dating app.

Rejection is an inevitable part of dating, both on apps and in person, and it's essential not to take it personally.

Pushing yourself out of your comfort zone by trying new dating experiences can be scary but rewarding.

Giving people a chance beyond the first few minutes of interaction is important, as nerves can impact initial impressions.

Dating can be challenging and emotionally taxing, so it's essential to be kind to yourself throughout the process.


BEST MOMENTS
"You could be the best peach in the world, but not everyone likes peaches."
