Ever wondered if your pre-date social media sleuthing borders on FBI-level intrusion, or if outfit repetition is a dating faux pas? Grab a seat in our digital den at Sasquatch Studios, where Emanuela and I dissect the frolics and facepalms of first dates with a generous helping of wit and a pinch of brutal honesty. We're divulging our own dating escapades, from navigating the singles scene post-divorce to taking a breather and embracing solitude. With tales about the ghosts of relationships past that still haunt our decor to the complexities of dating multiple people, we've got you covered.

Imagine this: you're perched at the bar, early for your first date, and a pressing question bubbles up—should you order a drink or wait? Picture us trading views on this modern dilemma, along with the virtues of comfy attire and the awkward charm of running into former flames on dating apps. We pry open the can of worms that is first date etiquette, from the strategic choice of venue to the delicate dance of showing you're interested without coming off as Sherlock Holmes in disguise. Our personal anecdotes and candid banter will guide you through the minefield of pre-date preparation and post-date follow-ups.

To cap it all off, we tackle the elephant in the room: the undeniable awkwardness that shadows first encounters. We're coining quirky phrases to defuse the tension and sharing hearty laughs over the bloopers that make first dates so endearingly human. It's not just about finding 'the one'—it's about relishing the journey and the occasional stumbles along the way. Finished off by asking our favorite robot, ChatGPT, what her dating advice is, hint.. jitter-tits! So plug in, kick back, and let us whisk you through a conversation that's as enlightening as it is entertaining. Who knows, you might just emerge with a fresh perspective on how to tackle your next romantic rendezvous.
