In the first episode of our new dating series, Reed and Florence dive into the realities of modern dating - from dating apps and ghosting to catfishing, first-date disasters and the best dates they've ever been on.
With Reed navigating single, polyamorous life and Florence adjusting to life as a new mum, they bring very different perspectives to the dating game.
We get into:
Dating apps & catfishing - do profiles actually match the people you meet?
Ghosting & rejection - why are so many people disappearing instead of communicating?
Dating statistics - who's actually initiating dates, and are apps changing how we meet?
The worst dates - broken furniture, injuries, bizarre behaviour and some truly chaotic encounters
The best dates - including extravagant Mayfair dates and what actually makes a date memorable
Dating etiquette - how to communicate when you're interested… and when you're definitely not
Plus, Reed and Florence read your best and worst dating stories, discuss LGBTQ+ dating and dating apps, and ask what we're really looking for when we go on a first date.
This is the beginning of a whole new Come Curious series about dating, sex, relationships, apps, rejection and everything that happens in between.
