What if dating didn’t have to feel so overwhelming? Thisepisode challenges the idea that every date needs to be perfect—or lead directly to marriage. Tom, Bob, and Harley explore how social media, dating apps, and cultural pressure have turned dating into a comparison game instead of a process of connection. They talk about why people avoid second dates, how fear disguises itself as pickiness, and why sustainable relationships are built on shared values—not curated highlight reels. With humor, honesty, and real-life examples, this conversation reframes dating as relationship development, reminding listeners that it’s okay to slow down, tune out the noise, and just get to know someone.

In this episode, we dig into why so many Gen Z men are hesitant to approach women—and it all comes down to one word: creepy. A staggering 69% of men fear being labeled creepy, and 44% say that fear actively stops them from interacting with women at all. We break down what “creepy” behavior actually looks like—think controlling tendencies, not taking no for an answer, and clinginess—and why awareness matters. But don’t worry, it’s not all doom and awkward silences. We talk practical, human solutions: approach in person, read the room, walk away if it’s not working, listen more, and be authentically you. Plus, meet our new host, Harley, joining the conversation with fresh insight and real talk. 🎙️
