We are excited to have another guest and perspective on our latest episode. Long time friend of James', Roxanne Jaeckel, came on the podcast to discuss societal expectations and dating in Los Angeles. We also touch upon emotional availability, the excitement of the pursuit and genuine banter, and the benefits of dating coworkers. This is only the surface of topics that we cover, but Abby and I can't help but think that Roxanne's take will resonate with many of you in the dating landscape. Does she hit the right marks? Do her opinions fall outside of the L.A. scene? Leave your comments below or send us an email. We look forward to your thoughts.

Honesty - it may be one of the most important aspects of a relationship right behind trust, but once a certain level of trust comes into play, how much honesty should one put on the table, and can there be too much? Not to mention, when is it time to be vulnerable and start relinquishing one's honesty? What's a white lie, and what's just straight out blatant? Either way, there's an obvious timeframe, albeit subjective, and certainly different levels on top of that, and we hope to break it all down in this episode.

None of us go out expecting a bad date. We go with only the positive of hopes and best of intentions, but sometimes thing go south and faster than expected. Other times, hours pass and it only seems like minutes and the chemistry is off the charts. Then there are the deal breakers - those pet peeves or idiosyncrasies we just can't get past. Abby and James break down some of theirs. Did they miss any? Where do you draw the line? And what makes a date good or bad in your mind?

We've all been on one end of disinterest or rejection, and no matter which, it doesn't feel good. How do you do on the receiving end of either? How do you approach it when you're the one baring the bad news? Is there ever an easy way out? Abby and James breakdown their experiences and approach whether good or bad. Will you agree?

Considered the first dating app pretty much geared toward hookups, Tinder has stood their ground and revolutionized the dating app scene. Abby and James analyze the pros and cons of the apps as well as the trends and patterns of both men and women. Tinder's certainly a far cry from what they set out to be and, in our opinion, revamped their game. Do you agree Abby and James' assessment?
