Dating Despair and the Fear of Never Meeting Anyone

EP 136 - Hot Not Bothered Summer: Dealing with Rejection, Dating Droughts, and Friends Who Don’t Get It

***

Welcome to the last Hot Not Bothered episode! Jess and Caroline tackle some difficult WHATADOs, answering questions about how to date after trauma, how to approach being the only one in your friend group who’s dating, and how to accept being “too much” in the dating world.

Plus, they talk about being wingmen, how to know if a relationship is good, themed get togethers, and the secret to letting loose and meeting people in public. Also, you don’t want to miss Jess’s stellar Office reference. I feel God in this podcast, what about you?
