The Q&A Episode: Green Flags, Ghosts, and the Guy Who Gifted a Fake Trip to Italy

In this lighter (but still unhinged) episode of The Wrong Ones, we're switching things up with a special listener Q&A. From cosmic gaslighting and spiritual co-parenting offers to spreadsheet-date reviews and fake trips to Italy, you all seriously delivered. We're answering 15 real questions submitted via Instagram—from the deeply relatable to the wildly absurd—serving up hot takes, red flag radars, and honest reflections on what it means to date in an era of soft launches and disappearing acts. Whether you're questioning your own dating patterns or just here for the chaos, this episode offers equal parts insight, validation, and laughs. If you've ever wondered: Is he actually healing or just emotionally unavailable with a better PR team? Are you being too picky or just asking the wrong person?

In this episode, we cover: Why your relationship timelines matter more than his comfort zone The art of catching feelings after one good date (and why it doesn't mean you're delulu) A guy who Venmo requested for a drink he drank… and called it feminism Green flags vs trauma dumps: is vulnerability or manipulation?
