They canceled our date because I was 15 min late? Were they being too harsh? - MONDAY MAILBAG

from The JTrain Podcast

Jared’s in Dallas for Mailbag Monday, pitching shows, his Walking Red Flag book, and his favorite pastime: giving brutally honest advice to strangers with zero eye contact. First up: a listener stacks two Hinge dates back-to-back, shows up late to date #2, and the text thread takes a turn that’s equal parts awkward and hilarious. Then things get real when a “perpetual girlfriend” realizes she wants marriage… and her boyfriend very much does not. Finally, we hop over to Portugal/Ireland for a long-distance romance that felt amazing for one weekend, but might be moving a little too fast, so what’s the move before she moves home? Expect travel chaos, dating math, and Jared’s signature “I’m not saying it’s bad, but…” energy.Jared is on tour! 👉 jaredfreid.comCheck out his new book! 👉 Preorder Walking Red Flag: Dating Advice from Your Favorite Guy FriendGet 20% off your first 6 months of Quo business communications at http://Quo.com/JTRAIN Support the show and get $10 off your 1 st month of Nutrafol.
