S1 Episode 4 - We should pump the brakes - and meet up

About:Everything seemed to point in the direction of positive dating potential when Emily and Kyle match on a dating app…&nbsp; both in their 40s and “dating intentionally”, they have three dates together over a week that seemed to get better and better- and both agreed they wanted a fourth- but they never got there.&nbsp; Instead of just parting ways, their curiosity led them to a decision&nbsp; to dissect every step and misstep along the way in an effort to figure out if the outcome was inevitable or if they could have done things differently to make it to the fourth date.&nbsp;With the hope of possibly doing it better with the next match, they go through topics that most singles have to navigate: dating with kids, red flags, “rules” of dating, sexual chemistry, safety, personal history &amp; traumas, ghosting, and many others that two people getting to know each other rarely speak openly about once it ends: and nothing is off the table or too vulnerable. &nbsp;TLDR:&nbsp;Less than 3 weeks have passed since their first interaction and the third and final date: and now they are laying it all out for each other and the listener, in an effort to get real and intentional in this often nightmarish experience of trying to find your “person” through an app. &nbsp;Creative Disclaimer: Though they had a couple false starts while beginning this project, what the listener hears is Emily and Kyle having these conversations in real time, and all of the consequences that result from trying to approach each other with full honesty, transparency, and vulnerability. They have notes on their phones only to keep them focused on the topic at hand but neither knows exactly what might be said.&nbsp;Listener discretion is advised because this adult content about adult relationships does include explicit language and sometimes sensitive adult topics.&nbsp;
