In this episode of Last Date, I sit down with Jenn Mann, founder of Meet at the Mirror — an intentional Christian singles community in Austin, Texas. Jenn has a front-row seat to what separates people who find their person from people who don't.

We discuss:

• The approach gap: women want to be approached but men aren't approaching

• Why "just say hi" is better than any pickup line

• The real reason men avoid intentional dating spaces (it's not the money)

• What actually makes two people compatible — and why your list is probably too long

• How to figure out your non-negotiables by asking how you want to feel in a relationship

• Why the three-day texting rule doesn't work anymore

Jenn also shares how redoing her values exercise a month ago ended a long stretch of being "invisible to men" — and how the dates that followed were some of the best she's been on.

In this episode of Last Date, I sit down with Jen, a single mom of two who got married at 20 and barely dated before that — meaning when she started dating again in her early 30s, she was essentially starting from scratch.

We get into what it actually looks like to date when your life already feels full, why motherhood gave her more confidence than any dating experience could have, and what men consistently get wrong about single moms.

We discuss:

• Why having kids made her a more confident, grounded dater — and how she uses her parenting voice on herself
• The "houseplant energy" shift that happens when your kids become teenagers
• Why she's in no rush to find someone — and how that actually makes dating easier
• What she really needs from a partner (hint: it's not a stepdad)
• The assumptions men make about dating single moms — and how they're usually wrong
• Why the lock screen on her phone has become an instant compatibility test

Jen also shares the story of how she accidentally became someone's worst date ever — while closing on the house she still lives in today.

This conversation is warm, self-aware, and a good reminder that dating a single mom isn't the complication most men assume it is. It might actually be the opposite.

In this episode of Last Date, I sit down with Kelsea, a 36-year-old who has dated across three cities — Milwaukee, Denver, and Austin — and across three decades of men.

We discuss:

• Why Denver was Kelsea's worst dating city
• The approach from men that consistently works — and why it takes all the pressure off
• The five men who asked for her number recently and not one followed up for a date
• What dating men in their 20s, 30s, and 40s actually looks like — and which decade surprised her most
• The drop-off she noticed after turning 35 on dating apps
• Height filters, age gatekeepers, and why dating in your community bypasses all of it

Kelsea also shares one of her best first dates (that includes a great tip for testing compatibility), one of her worst (that ended in an apology), and the story behind the nickname "Sour Patch Kelsea."

This conversation is honest, self-aware, and a good reminder that the best dating filter might not be an app — it might just be showing up, staying open-minded...and bringing your dog.
