221. The Eighteenth Hot Topics One

Ali is answering listener questions in a dedicated Hot Topics
episode this week! First, a listener receives a no ghosting
script after a fourth date and wonders if she should ask for more
clarity. Then, we talk about sarcastic/negative answers on dating
app profiles - are they a dealbreaker? Our third listener has an
old hook-up come back into the picture, and she’s struggling to
see it objectively. Then, a listener worries that her partner
isn’t aligned with her five-year plan. And finally, we chat about
proactive communication in early dating - what to do if you
haven’t heard from someone after a great second date?





In updates, Ali is back from Morocco and enjoying being home for
a while. She chats highlights like surprise date night and makeup
lessons, and lowlights like a triggering moment that has her
reflecting on past experiences (TW: SA).





This week’s media mention is from The New Yorker article, “The
New Business of Breakups.” (for Apple pods, link here:
