Whether we’re all too busy or lazy or superficial, does it really matter why we’re dating online?
It’s almost expected to have tried digital dating these days if you’re looking for love but the new Tinder app turns dating into a game and those with delicate egos need not download. No matter how you slice it, the Tinder app is all about who you find visually appealing in 5 photos and 500 words or less.
As you swipe left or right to “like” or “reject” a prospect, your potential match does the same. If you both choose ‘like’, it’s a match. Some call it ‘the hook-up’ app and yet others have found love and even marriage.
I have no time to date, so I decided to do a live, blind Tinder date on the Sex With Emily podcast.
I set the mood and went for the full experience with dimmed lights, wine and of course a few Emily & Tony aromatherapy massage candles to set the mood.
My date “Chad”, isn’t afraid to get into his past, voice his opinion (about everything….) and give me a hard time. We talk about marriage, why relationships fail and sex as you age. Chad reveals secrets about his past, I shared my dating patterns As the date progresses, we have differing outlooks but maybe opposites attract? Let me know what you think and what have been your experiences on Tinder? Email me your questions and stories to feedback@Sexwithemily.com

In my line of work as a relationship expert, I work with cheaters. Some are funny, others volunteer, and some go to church every Sunday. Some coach their child’s sports teams, others take care of their elderly parents, and some are the sweetest people you’ll ever meet. Some research shows that, at a minimum, at least 50% of all couples will be affected by cheating.
It can happen to you.
No relationship is immune from infidelity. There is a lack of education about cheating, especially around how and why it happens. I find myself repeating the same things to my clients and continually debunking myths. Talking openly about the “reality” of infidelity is one of the best ways of protecting a relationship from it.

I know what you see of my clients and me on the show is prep for the first date and the first date itself, but I’m actually very involved with my clients throughout the entire beginning phase of their courtship—on both the millionaire and the match’s sides. Basically, until the couple decides to be monogamous, I’m there. Once they’ve committed, I take a step back and let their love blossom unassisted.
One of the many things I’ve noticed is that date three is probably the most telling date of an entire relationship. After a third date, all I have to do is ask my clients a few questions and I’ll know right away if this relationship is destined for love or a quick fizzle. Here are the questions for you to ask yourself: Read more
Look, I got to give it up to guys because, hey, at least they try and give us compliments. Sometimes however, the “compliments” they give us are actually insults. I chalk it up to guys not thinking before they speak, but here are my top five “complimensults.” Read more
When you're single and dating, a jam packed schedule full of happy hours, coffee dates and romantic dinners provide ample opportunities to find someone you'll really click with. Unfortunately, going on dates a few times a week can wreck havoc on your healthy lifestyle as all of those craft beers, fancy cocktails, three course meals and sugary coffee drinks start to add up and not only that, you might start finding yourself too busy with dating to hit the gym. So what's a girl to do? Is it possible to date and stay fit at the same time? By following a few rules, you can definitely have your date and eat on it, too. Read more
Did any of you see the HBO standup show by Louis C.K?
He called it, “Oh My God.”
Honestly, if you haven’t watched it yet, I urge you to get a copy online. It’s incredibly funny and accurate. Louis C.K is a great comic anyway, and one of the best at observational comedy, and in this show he does a great routine about dating. What makes the thing so hysterical is how accurate and true to life it is. Read more
