Ep.82 - Creating a Welcoming Environment: No One Likes a Gatekeeper.

Andrew makes it safely into the Mating Habits Studio to help me discuss problematic friends who may be keeping new people from joining your social circle. We go over some tell-tale signs of "Gatekeeping" and how the lack of new people entering your friend groups might have something to do with the unwelcome environment you've unknowingly created. Andrew puts the "fun" in work function and becomes a new uncle! I'm doing guest spots, discovering new podcasts, and watching X-Files. Our Meetup Group, Trigger Warning: Geeks! is in danger, girl - and I don't have a good solution. We did a Periscope thing! Yet another new game, Who's Pickup Line is it Anyway? is the perfect game for live audience participation, and we actually had some live audience participation! We may be Periscoping again in the future, so download the free app to your smart phone and follow @MatingHabits - we'll follow you back, I promise :) Tables are flipped over stupid restaurant policies and folks doing good works for the sole purpose of posting about them on social media.
