Ryan Seacrest’s Dating Red Flags Make No Sense

About this episode

Jared and Jordana discuss Ryan Seacrest's dating red flags, a frustrating Hinge situation, first date etiquette, and engagement timelines.

Ryan Seacrest’s “dating red flags” get J&J talking and how out-of-touch celebrity dating advice can be - waving at people should not be a red flag, Ryan! Jared and Jordana unpack a frustrating Hinge situation where a guy pulls back after 6 dates and claims he wants to “be friends first,” and why that’s usually just a soft exit, not a strategy. They then get into a hyper-specific first date debate: is it rude if your date doesn’t tell you where they are inside the bar, or just normal app behavior? Lastly, they discuss engagement timelines and what the “right” window is between ring shopping and getting down on one knee, and whether waiting too long is a red flag or just life happening!
