Questions We Ask On the First Date

Pull up a chair, because this is the first date debrief every woman over 35 has been waiting to have out loud. Jenny and Susan are getting into all of it — what questions actually tell you something real about a person, which ones you'd never have thought to ask 20 years ago, and why dating in your 40s is a completely different sport than dating in your 20s. Along the way, Susan shares the story of a forensic dentist who thought pulling out crime scene photos was a reasonable second date move, and somehow the conversation is still funnier than it is horrifying.

This episode is equal parts practical and deeply relatable — from the merits of running a background check on your date (yes, really) to why physical attraction is both magic and a total trap, to the one thing both women agree on above everything else: trust your gut, do your homework, and stop apologizing for knowing what you want. Jenny and Susan also make the case for old-fashioned matchmaking over dating apps, tease an upcoming episode featuring actual men talking about dating, and leave you feeling like you just got the most honest, funniest dating advice of your life from two women who've seen enough to know better. Subscribe, share this with your single friend, and tell us — what's your wildest first date story?
