Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is pumped up for PRIDE!  This week, co-hosts Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out and give their advice on the trials and tribulations of dating after being inspired (and horrified) by this article about the 50 worst-ever sapphic dating stories. As two married lesbians who have achieved their final form, ie. chilling on the couch with their wives and rarely leaving the house, they are clearly the experts on the sapphic dating scene.  From a girl whose Plenty of Fish date turned out to be a Plenty of “Friends” date with a surprise boyfriend reveal to the girl who ended up sky high in a hot air balloon on a first date, these sapphic horror stories will have you thinking twice about swiping right. After discussing the stories in the article, we think back on our own dating experiences and the things that probably should have raised more red flags at the time. But it’s not all doom and gloom! We also provide healthier date ideas for early in a relationship along with our personal perfect 5-date sequences.  Don’t forget to show your support for our tiny (and mighty!) podcasting team by shopping small for your Pride merch at bit.ly/lezmerch & picking up our original Lez-ssentials songs on Bandcamp.  Give us your own answers to our Q & Gay on Instagram and follow along on Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and BlueSky @lezhangoutpod.
