What makes post-first-date follow-up crucial?
How you show up after a first date is really, really important, way more than how you show up on the first date.
All right, welcome back to the How to Get a Girlfriend podcast. I'm your host, dating coach, Connell Barrett. I'm the real life Hitch, if Hitch was a skinny, nerdy ginger who has never slapped Chris Rock. I like to help guys date with confidence, make real connections with women, and do it by being authentic. No sketchy pickup artist moves needed. And today, I'm always excited to talk to a fellow dating expert. And I love talking to women who either have dated, are dating, or in the case of my guest today, have gone through the gauntlet of dating and have found somebody wonderful because women know so much about what women want. I'm thrilled to welcome Talia Koren to the podcast. She hosts the Dating Intentionally podcast, which is a really great podcast. Go check it out on Spotify or wherever you get your pods. And Talia shares very insightful, no-nonsense advice to help people like you navigate the complexities of the dating world. to not overthink, to have some fun, have some success, and look at dating as an experiment, which I want to talk with her about.
She also has some great yarns to share about going on 64 first dates in under a year. So we're going to get into that. Talia, welcome to the How to Get a Girlfriend podcast. I'm so excited to be here, and thank you for that lovely introduction. I'm excited to get into it. Yeah. We were just talking before I hit record and you said, oh, I just want to help people not think so much and underthink and have more fun. So I'm going to try to take that advice on this podcast. I'm going to get rid of all my 84 questions I planned for you. I'm going to read them all. Actually, no joke. I used to go on first dates back in the day when I was really bad at this. And I had... pieces of eight and a half by 11 paper with all these like lines and stories and things to say, I would go into the men's room in the middle of a break from the date and look at stuff.
Oh my gosh. It's reminding me of my grandpa who like literally had flashcards with jokes in his wallet.
Do you remember?
No, they're all like the typical like jokes you would get. Just open up any joke book and it's like the most obvious, you know, thing you've heard a million times. Grandpa jokes. Yeah. Nice. I mean, look, everyone has to start somewhere, right? If that's where you're starting, look at where you are now. I mean, it's okay. Okay, so 64 first dates. This is the one planned question. Nothing else will be planned. You have my word. This is my one planned, or at least planned topic. Okay. The 64 first dates, I like to look at extremes. Do you remember, what was the ESPN highlight moment, the best first date you had? And if you don't say your husband, you're probably going to be in trouble. Look, I can't say it was my husband, but I think that's kind of the point. And look, on my podcast, I usually talk to women. And I think the advice does differ here where it's like sometimes you don't immediately feel the spark or it's just kind of an first date. But that doesn't mean that it's not going to go somewhere.
But in terms of if we're just looking at first dates, my favorite first date was with someone I only had that one date with. But he basically planned everything. to pick up a bunch of pastries at a cafe he loved and we had a little picnic where we tried all of the pastries and it was just so easy and cute and like it was a nice day he it was his idea and we just got to like talk about the pastries and try different ones and it was very relaxed i loved it that's great you can't go wrong with pastries It was a great idea. I think you should steal it if you're listening and you can eat gluten and you like pastries. Were you two talking about pastries leading up to the date or was it something that he just pulled out of his... No, we were talking about cafes in Seattle, I think.
And he wanted to introduce me to his favorite one. What I loved about dating in Seattle was I'm not from there, I'm from New York. And so dating helped me explore the city more. That was really why I wanted to date. It was part of my social hygiene. It was part of my, like, just how do I get to know the city better? So a lot of guys introduced me to great places that I fell in love with.
