In this episode of Last Date, I sit down with Kelsea, a 36-year-old who has dated across three cities — Milwaukee, Denver, and Austin — and across three decades of men.

We discuss:

• Why Denver was Kelsea's worst dating city
• The approach from men that consistently works — and why it takes all the pressure off
• The five men who asked for her number recently and not one followed up for a date
• What dating men in their 20s, 30s, and 40s actually looks like — and which decade surprised her most
• The drop-off she noticed after turning 35 on dating apps
• Height filters, age gatekeepers, and why dating in your community bypasses all of it

Kelsea also shares one of her best first dates (that includes a great tip for testing compatibility), one of her worst (that ended in an apology), and the story behind the nickname "Sour Patch Kelsea."

This conversation is honest, self-aware, and a good reminder that the best dating filter might not be an app — it might just be showing up, staying open-minded...and bringing your dog.
