This week, we're diving headfirst into the world of first dates and how the game has changed since we were passing handwritten notes or anxiously waiting by a landline. Remember those simpler times? Well, buckle up, because dating in the age of social media is a whole new ballgame!

Join us as we reminisce about our early dating days and compare them to the swipe-right culture of today. We're breaking down the modern criteria that have emerged, like social media stalking (ahem, "research"), and how these platforms have reshaped what we look for in a partner. Spoiler alert: It’s about more than just a good profile picture!

We'll also share some timeless do's and don'ts that still hold true, whether you’re dipping your toes back into the dating pool or navigating it for the first time. Plus, we're answering listener questions about keeping the conversation flowing on a date—because let's face it, sometimes small talk is a big deal—and spotting those pesky red flags before they become full-blown sirens.

As always, we’ll wrap up with our final thoughts from Barzini and Dre Renee, offering insights and encouragement to help you find love—or at least a fun night out—in today’s fast-paced dating scene. So, grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let's chat about the wild, wonderful world of modern romance. You won't want to miss it!
