Have you noticed there seems to be a lot more desire out there for people to partake in a non-traditional relationship these days? Terms such as “open”, “polyamorous” and “ethically non-monogamous” are used regularly. Are you still trying to decide where you sit in terms of these concepts? Or are you just simply curious how it all works, practically!? Well, we explore it all with Dr Heath Schechinger. Heath is the Co-Chair of the American Psychological Association’s Committee on Consensual Non-monogamy, and Co-Founder of Polyamory Legal Advocacy Coalition. He is also a licensed Behavioural Health Psychologist at the University of California, Berkeley. Check out Season Two Ep. 1 apple.co/3gcbKwo *xual

Should we trust our gut when deciding whether to go on a date with someone? What can science tell us about whether opposites attract or do birds of a feather flock together when it comes to dating? What colour should we wear on our dates to maximise our attractiveness? What role does body language play in judging whether someone likes us? We explore these questions and more with Dr Simon Moss who is the Dean of Graduate Studies, as well as an Associate Professor in psychology, at Charles Darwin University. He is a registered psychologist and has published approximately 10 books and 90 papers.

🍷 🍷 🍷 Wine for one!! Yes please!!! Sometimes it’s better to commit to a Date for One than yet another random that doesn’t feel “right”. Do you ever say “yes” to a date even if it’s not feeling right? Just for the sake of being open-minded, only to realise that your intuition was right?

🍌 🍌 🍌 Yes, I feel like I’m ‘that’ odd banana out... but more importantly, where is that single banana I seek so avidly!!! Oh yes, that’s right, you’ll never find the single banana if you are wading through all the tightly bunched bananas, consciously looking for it! Whilst there is always someone out there making banana bread, that single banana - albeit decomposing at an alarming rate - will always hold hope of being found!

It seems there is a real division regarding who should pay on a date! Some people understand the concept of gender equality yet hold onto the old-fashioned chivalry. Some people would be happy to pay, yet worry about being used due to the likelihood that a second date will not eventuate. How do we navigate this? Let’s work through this; check out https://apple.co/377CnhG.

How long should we wait to have s*x with someone we are dating? How do you clearly voice what your boundaries are in relation to s*x? Is it really such a bad thing to have s*x on the first date? How can we make safe s*x s*xy? We explore these questions and more with Georgia Grace. As a Certified Australian S*x Coach, Georgia applies a client-centred approach in supporting individuals, couples and groups to mindfully, powerfully and radically become more aware of their bodies, s*x and s*xuality.

It seemed like so long ago that I was taking pics of the drab meal I cooked in lockdown and sent them to my virtual date in an attempt to inspire him to imagine a time when we could meet in “real life”!! It’s actually quite sweet and humble upon reflection, yet it’s amazing how depressing it felt at the time! Coming out of lockdown and eating a beautifully prepared restaurant meal with a date that doesn’t work out, reminds me that happiness and connection isn’t created over fancy food; nights out; lavish experiences... it’s created in the air; the space we share; the palpable frequency we both hum to if there is a connection being made. A perfect date does not depend on scene,setting or activity.

👻 Have you ever encountered a spooky ghost on the dating circuit!? Sometimes it’s just nice to be nice! It’s okay if you’re not interested but perhaps consider letting them know. It’s amazing how easily disheartened we get when we are ghosted, but when the shoe is on the other foot, we easily forget! Does this resonate with anyone?

It’s totally normal to feel like your either giving or receiving an interrogation on a date, right!? Well, I guess it’s better than no conversation at all. How about allowing yourself to ask as many questions as you like but being armed with an objective in mind so that the questions you ask aren’t just filling space; rather, they are allowing you to gain actual insight into your date!

If you have the privilege of being a parent and observing two siblings expressing love and affection to one another, remind yourself of this: “if I can cultivate love between my offspring in such an unbridled and pure way, I can cultivate that same amount of love for myself and my future, significant Other. “. Never forget that you already possess all that you need to attract love of the most epic proportions into your life. Believe in love and be a vessel to receive and give love.
