Chapter 1: What is the listener's dating dilemma in this episode?
Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro.
We were in the car, like a rolling stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother. And I said, what? What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is choose an identity that other people can't have. I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what had happened.

The fact that we are a resort should feel good. We are on the list, even if it's at the very bottom.

And that's what made our listener. Absolutely. That's what made our listener Dorman email the show for help today. Dorman, it's an absolute pleasure to have you. Welcome to the show. Fun name. Is that your real name, Dorman? Yeah. Thank you guys for having me. Yeah.
Chapter 6: What unexpected personal details did Dorman share during the date?
Well, desperate times. We are excited to have you on the show. Tell us about the woman that you are trying to get a hold of. What's her name? Her name is Yolanda. Yolanda. Okay. Where'd you guys meet? We met online. And what made her stand out to me was like, obviously, I thought she was very attractive and cute.
Chapter 7: What was Yolanda's reaction to Dorman's comments?
But like, Just her prompts and stuff. She seemed really intentional and playful at the same time. Sorry, what do you mean by intentional? What does that mean to you? To me, that means like somebody who's actually like being honest and transparent. She took the time to fill out her actual profile. It wasn't just like one or two word answers, you know?
Can I ask what your favorite thing that she wrote was? Yeah, I forget like the exact wording of it, but it was like a joke about like Harry Potter and like she had a tattoo of it.
Chapter 8: What are the lessons learned from Dorman's dating experience?
And people just thought, like, it's the little lightning strike, but people just thought it was about the Flash, the superhero. Okay. She's got weird tattoos.
Not weird. Cool tattoos. Cool tattoos. And old people are the only ones that would associate it with The Flash, right?
Yeah. What does that mean? I mean, there's a new Flash TV show that's airing right now. It's pretty big. I didn't want to call her out.
Oh, I didn't know that. I didn't know that either. Oh, okay. You're just going to insult The Flash for absolutely no reason. I just thought that was like a 70s superhero or something. I think all the superheroes are coming back. Does someone hot play The Flash? Yeah.
No, Alexis. They picked the first ugly guy ever to be the star.
Then I don't care anymore about it. Okay.
Good. Good. So, Doran, bottom line is you appreciated her and her profile. So tell us about how you interacted with her. What was your date? So I was thrilled that she wanted to go out. I picked this spot. It's like really known for their chili. It's supposed to be like world famous. Oh, that's kind of cool. Oh, chili's a great first date food.
I don't know, but like people love chili.
I mean, my point was that you don't think of chili as a really romantic food that you want to eat and then make out afterwards. Also that, yeah, you can be a little gassy. But I guess going on an adventure to taste the best chili in town, that could be a bonding experience, right? So how did that go? So it was good.
