    SYT Ep. 9: Truth, Tinder and Tito's with Michael

    Sometimes Lauren needs a break from Swiping School...So, when's the last time you played truth or dare? What age were you when you replaced "dare" with "drink"?! Apparently it's not something people still do in their late twenties...  OH WELL, LET'S PLAY! This week on SYT, things are a bit more ~casual~. Join Lauren and guest host Michael (it's still up in the air which dating app they met on, but leaning towards Bumble) as they take a break from online dating to play "Truth or Tito's" - AKA they have to answer some questions about love, relationships, online dating, etc. or take a shot to the face of vodka.  Follow Michael at mbish_ on Instagram!  No resources this week, but sharing the beautiful song Lauren mentions that made some guy BIG MAD: https://open.spotify.com/track/3VmuRlPx5dLJEmZcIiY6LQ?si=92f06aab2e1049b5 Happy Swiping!

    SYT Ep. 8: Going Down in the DMs with Abby

    Have you ever slid into someone's Instagram DMs? Often seen as a flirtatious gesture (that can easily fall flat), the DM is a modern, easy way to make new romantic connections. But, as with any form of communication or online connection, there's a right way, a wrong way, and a just plain ugly way to do it. Let's try to avoid eggplant and peach emojis... Join Lauren and guest host/birthday girl Abby as they talk about the art of the DM. When it's worked (hint: a future relationship slid into Abby's DMs), when it hasn't, and what it is about Instagram that makes it such a ~flirty~ platform.  Surprisingly, no resources mentioned this week! Write in about all things online dating at swipeyourtears@gmail.com or visit swipeyourtearspod.com.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ABBY and Happy Swiping!

    SYT Ep. 7: Un(Hinge)d with Gracie [Part 2]

    The idea of sending virtual roses and preparing voice memos as a form of flirting seems a bit...odd. But that's exactly what one dating app is thriving on.  This week on Swipe Your Tears, Lauren and guest host Gracie (work friends turned real friends) dive into the good, the bad, and the interesting of popular "relationship app" Hinge. Boasting the ability to find you a soulmate, Hinge is the dating app that's designed to be deleted...either because you found your soulmate or because you're so frustrated you get rid of it. It's a choose your own adventure!  Resources mentioned: https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7vzbm/five-reasons-you-should-delete-hinge Happy Swiping!

    SYT Ep. 6: Swipe Stories with Gracie [Part 1]

    Picture this: You're on Hinge and match with a cutie. You go on dates. Everything is going great in the 'talking' phase. There's no indication that anyone wants to run away. Then, one day, your lover mysteriously turns into a ghost - watching all of your Instagram stories in 0.02 nanoseconds but never to be heard from again.  We can all agree...There's nothing more haunting than the ghosts of dating app matches past. In this laid-back SYT Swipe Stories episode, Lauren and guest host Gracie (coworker turned friend turned fellow sister in the dating app realm) relax, unwind and talk about ghosting in the era of online dating. Hint: it happens more often than you'd think. BEWARE! Happy Swiping!

    In the very first SYT BONUS EPISODE, Lauren discusses Simon/Shimon/David/(Enter Other Identity Here), the Tinder Swindler.

How do we avoid romance fraud? Listen in as Lauren gives updates on the situation and covers the signs and symptoms of love bombing.  If you think you are experiencing love bombing or have additional questions about the signs, chat with advocates at www.thehotline.org. https://www.thehotline.org/resources/signs-of-love-bombing/  GoFundMe for victims: https://www.gofundme.com/f/75c8gg-help-the-victims-of-the-tinder-swindler

    SYT Ep. 3: “Tinder, Grindr and Bears...Oh My!" with Austin

    What's the story with Tinder? Grindr? What's it like to online date as a gay man? If you find yourself asking these questions, look no further. In this episode, Lauren and guest host Austin cover the topic of SWG (swiping while gay). Especially in an area where not a lot of other gay men are using dating apps...or...not even around at all...*tumbleweed crosses the road*  We also explore the good, the bad and the interesting with two popular dating apps, Tinder and Grindr - including origin stories, legal troubles, and unique app features.  Resources mentioned: https://www.underthebutton.com/article/2019/09/bumble-app-bottoms-message-first

    SYT Ep. 2: How To Save a Swipe

    "Where did I go wrong? I lost a swipe...." If you ever find yourself changing the lyrics to this song by The Fray to be relevant to online dating, then this episode might be for you. This week, we have a solo episode in which Lauren covers the do's of online dating profiles. If she covered all of the "don'ts," you'd have to quit your job and become a full-time listener.  Resources mentioned:  https://healthyframework.com/dating/beginners/dating-profile-mistakes/ https://blog.photofeeler.com/dating-profile-examples/
