"He Found Out I Went on Another Date… Now He’s Acting Weird"

About this episode

Ilana and Jake discuss dating challenges and listener questions about exclusivity.

Jake and I catch up on the abandoned 20-week challenge, our first jobs out of college, and a post-wedding brunch we hosted that actually came together really well. Then we tackle a listener question from someone who accidentally went on a Hinge date with her casual boyfriend's friend's roommate (New York City is a very small village), and help her figure out how to have the exclusivity conversation. We wrap with a round of your dating wins — from five-hour first dates to finally deleting the apps. Don't forget to follow along on Instagram to submit your dating wins!
