Today I’m joined by the gas Megan Burke – a singer-songwriter from Swords who’s had more than her fair share of shit-shows. We’re covering her cheating ex, the horrors she’s encountered on dating apps (including getting blocked on Tinder - but it's mostly just the messages from men), and what it’s like dating as a "BIG SEXY RIDE". You can look forward to stories about immature men, creepy fetish requests, and some grim date experiences. Megan’s a laugh a minute so stick the kettle on and enjoyyyy.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dating-orange-podcast--5898530/support.

Today I’m joined by Adam Lane Smith, also known as Attachment Adam, a global expert in attachment theory, author, speaker, and former marriage and family therapist. Adam breaks down attachment theory in a way that's easy to understand so if you were ever wondering why a fella acts so all-over-the-place and you simply can't understand him - you might find some answers today. We also chat about some other hot topics, including why women settle for situationships, how women are wired for stability, and the concept of emotional impermanence. If you enjoy a bit of science and understanding what's going on in our bodies, there will be lots of words like oxytocin, GABA, cortisol, dopamine, and serotonin being mentioned. No blind date couple this week - sorry guys! More to come soooon. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dating-orange-podcast--5898530/support.

The two TikTok gals, Kasey Campion and Lauren Murtagh, fill me in on just how hard it is trying to find a decent fella these days. Both only in their early 20s, but they have been THROUGH it - cheaters, weirdos and everything in between. PLUS, I’m catching up with a blind date I set up between two of my own pals (from totally different parts of my life) who have both been unlucky in love. Did I finally make a match? Probably not. Tune in to find out 👀💘This episode is sponsored by Wicklow Sports Partnership – setting people up on blind dates (on bikes!) for Bike Week, May 10–18 🚴‍♀️🍕Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dating-orange-podcast--5898530/support.

Dating coach Erika Ettin, also known as 'A Little Nudge' online, joins me for the first of two episodes on all things dating; best practices, how to craft the perfect bio, staying resilient, and changing your mindset for the better whilst putting yourself out there. You might be deep in the apps or wondering why you're still single, so hopefully Erika’s advice is the nudge you need!
