  • 39. Digits to DMs: The Evolution of Courtship in the Digital Age
    2023/08/13

    In this podcast episode hosted by Callie Dee and featuring comedian Alexander K, the topic at hand is "The Lost Art of Getting the Digits." In a world dominated by social media, the hosts explore how the age-old practice of exchanging phone numbers during the early stages of romantic pursuit has gradually evolved and transformed.

    They kick off by reflecting on the traditional process of courtship, where getting to know someone was a carefully navigated journey. This journey included various steps that allowed individuals to build a connection over time. Central to this process was the significant act of exchanging phone numbers. In the pre-digital era, sharing phone numbers held a special place in courtship – it symbolized mutual interest and opened a direct line of communication beyond in-person interactions.

    The Significance of Exchanging Phone Numbers: Exchanging phone numbers served as a pivotal moment in courtship. It marked a transition from casual conversations to more personal and intimate ones. The hosts discuss how receiving someone's phone number was a clear indicator that both parties were invested in taking the relationship further. It allowed for more extended conversations, planning dates, and getting to know each other on a deeper level.

    Evolution of Courtship in the Digital Age: As the episode progresses, Callie and Alexander delve into the changes brought about by the digital age and social media. They highlight how platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and dating apps have shifted the dynamics of courtship. Rather than exchanging phone numbers, people often connect through these platforms, where they can explore each other's profiles and interact through comments and direct messages.

    Challenges and Nuances: The hosts also discuss the challenges that come with these changes. They touch on the potential for misinterpretation in online interactions and the fading sense of genuine connection in a world where the pursuit of likes and followers has become a new form of validation.

    Finding Balance: Towards the end of the episode, Callie and Alexander ponder the idea of striking a balance between traditional and modern approaches to courtship. They share anecdotes and insights on how to maintain the essence of personal connection while navigating the digital realm.

    In this thought-provoking episode, Callie Dee and Alexander K humorously and insightfully explore the shifts in the art of courtship, from the significance of exchanging phone numbers to the challenges and opportunities presented by the digital age. They invite listeners to consider how modern romance has evolved and encourage a deeper understanding of the delicate dance between tradition and progress.

  • The Smitten Kitten Introduction
    2023/04/26

    Hi everyone, this is Callie Dee, your host of The Smitten Kitten, where we discuss love, sex, dating, relationships and the human experience in an effort to inform, enlighten and validate those on their journey toward satisfaction and fulfillment in romance and in bed.

    In 2019 I had finally reached my breaking point. I was a HUGE failure in love and relationships. I made the decision to actively study, research the topic and learn from others that had the kind of relationship I wanted in life and as a result, The Smitten Kitten was born.


    Fast Forward to Today:

    I’m happy to report that today, early in the year of 2023, I am in a happy and stable relationship with an amazing man. We’ve been together for close to a year and a half and it’s looking like we’re in it for the long haul. I had to do something different to get here which meant learning from others, going to therapy to become a better me, and failing a few more times before getting it right. As they say, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing expecting different results. So if what you’re doing isn’t working, this is your sign to try something new in order to get new results.

    Join us here at The Smitten Kitten where I invite guests of all backgrounds, stages in life and with different relationship statuses and relationship types to learn what has worked, and what hasn’t worked and everything in between. Who knows, maybe you’ll hear the right thing or gain enough courage to stop the insanity and find the love you have deserved all along. I believe in you.

  • Adventures of a Former "Fall Back Girl"
    2023/04/26

    The Fallback Girl. Yup, that was me. Hopelessly devoted to Mr. Unavailable just waiting for him to realize I’m THE BEST THING he could hope for. I’m chill, adventurous, spontaneous, independent, somewhat successful (most of the time), I give him all the space he could ever need when he needs it and his friends like me. We have chemistry in and out of the bedroom and I’m out the door by 10am because I’ve got things to do that don’t include wearing out my welcome. What’s not to like? The answer- nothing. He’s just “Not ready for a relationship”. I had convinced myself that I wasn’t ready for a traditional relationship either and that it didn’t bother me. But deep down….it did. I just lied to myself ALOT and continued to let my ego get bruised by Mr. Unavailable until one day I had enough.

    After my epiphany moment, I did what any person should do when trying to change and began reading articles, blogs and books and listening to audiobooks and podcasts on relationships, love and dating. I dove inward to my own emotions and thought processes on WHY I behaved this way and made notes and mental lists. I refused to continue to be “The Fall Back Girl”, my time and love are worthy of being valued.

    I took the first step and admitted I had a problem. Admitted the men I was involved in were going nowhere and cut the emotional chord. I decided to close up shop and become celibate for an undetermined amount of time in order to heal sexually and emotionally. No matter how sexually liberated I feel that I am, I get emotionally attached to a man when we start having a regular “thing’. It’s the way I’m built and there’s no use in denying it. I also vowed to date more, to date outside of my normal “type” and to go on dates that didn’t involve a bar. I vowed to be more up front with my expectations without fear, and if that person wasn’t with it then less time wasted by us both.

    What are my expectations? I needed to know that too. I’m not dating to rack up my body count (i.e. gain new sexual partners), I’m dating in the hopes to find someone who wants to be more than just fuck buddies. Will it last forever? Who knows. Do I want to get married? Not anytime soon….been there, done that. I don’t want any more children. I’d like the possibility to build something with someone that’s beautiful. I want to travel, share memories, and help each other become more successful. Maybe move in together and have a two income household eventually. Double date and go to weddings and family functions together. I want to have something others look at and see that there is hope out there, that love actually exists.

    I’m not just doing this for me. I’m doing this for my daughter so she can learn healthy relationship boundaries. I’m doing it for all the other people out there who are done being the Fallback Person. I’ll share what I’ve learned, stories from others and myself along the way (the good, bad and ugly), and hopefully we’ll all have a happy ending as a result. GOOD LUCK to us all!!!
