Get It Off Your Chest - “He Was Perfect… Until I Saw the Earwax!”

On today’s Get It Off Your Chest, one listener found herself facing a dating dilemma that had everyone talking. Ciara says she matched with a guy who seemed to tick every box—funny, sporty, intelligent and great company. After weeks of chatting, she finally met him in person and felt the sparks immediately... until she spotted a noticeable build-up of earwax during their first hello. The sight gave her an instant case of the ick, leading her to fake feeling unwell and leave the date early. Now he’s been messaging her, she feels guilty for ghosting him, and she’s wondering whether she’s thrown away a potentially great relationship over something fixable. The gang debate first-date dealbreakers, the dreaded ick, and whether earwax should ever be enough to end a romance before it begins.
