Good morning.
Speaker A:It's Haystack, and you're going to love this one.
Speaker A:There is a new trend called practice dating where you go on casual dates with people that are absolutely not your type.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker A:It's supposed to lower the pressure by helping you build confidence and improve your conversation skills.
Speaker A:Practice dating.
Speaker A:Take the pressure off as long as no one's being used in the process.
Speaker A:Okay, I mean, that's a little messed up.
Speaker A:Be upfront about it.
Speaker A:Like, I don't think I'm into you, but can we go on a date just to practice?
Speaker A:Like, just be honest about it.
Speaker A:You never know.
Speaker A:A supposed dating guru named Serena Kerrigan said that profiles and photos do not tell the whole story.
Speaker A:People can surprise you in person, so don't treat every first date like it could lead to marriage.
Speaker A:Use these casual meetups to build confidence, improve conversation skills, and get more comfortable meeting new people.
Speaker B:Yes, you should be going on dates even with guys you're not super attracted to.
Speaker B:And here's why.
Speaker B:Let's say you go on a date with a guy and you feel like you're the more attractive one.
Speaker B:What are you going to do?
Speaker B:You are going to show up like super confident, batty energy.
Speaker B:You're going to be so authentically 100% yourself.
Speaker B:You're not going to edit yourself because you are not trying to appeal to them.
Speaker B:Then what you're going to do is leave that date and copy and paste that exact energy to to a date with a guy that you actually might be really attracted to.
Speaker B:Nervous even.
Speaker B:Every single date you go on is practice.
Speaker B:The universe will reward you if you are going out on dates and getting that practice.
Speaker A:I feel a little bit gross just hearing that.
Speaker A:Although to be fair, I've been the victim of so many foodie calls at this point.
Speaker A:That's where a girl or guy, I suppose it can go both ways, but I've only had it happen from girls perspectives.
Speaker A:I'll match with someone on a dating app and we'll go to dinner.
Speaker A:And it's clear early on that they just want a free dinner.
Speaker A:They'll order something huge and then take four bites and get it to go box.
Speaker A:I've had it happen more than once.
Speaker A:I call it a foodie call.
Speaker A:And for all of you who do that, well, shame on you.
Speaker A:But this, you know, this practice dating thing, I guess, is a little bit different.
Speaker A:To be fair, it feels like a total waste of time to me because all you need to know is right here on my list of the top six things you should never ever do on a first date.
Speaker C:Well, gather round folks.
Speaker C:It's the time of day when we laugh and smile in a light hearted way.
Speaker C:Tune in for the giggles and let's kick back.
Speaker C:Here comes the fun.
Speaker C:It's the morning six pack.
Speaker A:The top six things you should never do on a first date.
Speaker A:Number six, use a coupon.
Speaker A:Number five, order dinner in Klingon.
Speaker A:Number four, show off your prison tattoos.
Speaker A:Number three, bring your mother.
Speaker A:Number two, insist on going by your high school nickname, especially if your high school nickname is Spanky.
Speaker A:And the number one thing you should never ever do on a first date?
Speaker A:Talk about your wife.
