The answer to this question could go two ways... Are you interested in dating one of your friends or do you just want them to be on the lookout for someone you could date? We're taking a look at both scenarios in today's episode.

Looking For The Middle: The Christian Girl's Guide to Modern Dating

Backstage Pass: As a Guy, Should I Let My Female Friends Know I Want to Date Someone?

Let's be honest... it can be tricky sometimes trying to figure out what to say, or what not to say, to single friends. Whether you yourself are single or not, either way it can be tough. We're taking a look at some of the things that are really helpful and encouraging, and then some of the things that aren't really all that helpful too. We're also talking about extending lots of grace!   **We go on several rabbit trails at the beginning. You've been warned! If that's not your thing, skip to about 15 minutes to get into it.

How to Talk to Single People

We all know the internet and social media are everywhere! This is not news to anyone... between ordering groceries online, buying a car online, it would naturally follow that we should just be able to order a husband from Amazon, right?! Dating in a social media age though isn't quite that simple. It's not all bad either. In today's episode, we're looking at some ways the internet and social media have helped dating (when used correctly) and then also some drawbacks to it as well.

Dating in a Social Media Age

I think this was Kristen's favorite ever CouchCast question! ....the person asking made a reference to The Bachelor in her question and that's all it took! If you find yourself in this same place of worrying about what potential dates might think of your previous dating history (or lack thereof), we're talking about several different perspectives you can take that will hopefully lessen that worry and burden!

CouchCast: Is it a Red Flag to Guys if I Haven‘t Ever Been in a Serious Relationship?

This term "equally yoked" gets thrown around a lot, but do you know how to apply it to your current or future relationships? Sometimes it gets over-simplified to "just marry someone who loves Jesus"... and sometimes we make it way more complicated than it has to be. So, today, we're taking a look at what 2 Corinthians 6:14 does say, what it doesn't say, and how you can take the principle behind it and apply it to your relationship, or future relationship, today.

Are We Equally Yoked?

We over-think. We over-complicate. We over-analyze. And in the process we end up looking at dating as a chore rather than a fun experience! It's ok for dating to be fun! Let's put some of that fun back into it.... we've got some tips and ideas for doing just that today.

It‘s Ok for Dating to be Fun!

This was a great question from one of our male listeners! We're taking a look at those intangible things that really up the attractiveness factor outside of someone's looks!              

Backstage Pass: What Can I Do to Make Myself More Attractive to a Girl?

If you heard last week's episode, you heard us talk about what it looks like when life doesn't go according to plan and you find yourself in a season of waiting. Today, we're going to take that a step further and look at what to do while you're waiting. We're answering questions like what are you actually waiting for? What's the purpose of waiting? and what to do in the meantime?

What Are You Waiting For?

We can all say this to some extent, right? Life never fully goes how we plan and especially when it comes to dating and relationships, we will most likely all find our lives going somewhat differently than we had planned. Does that mean God's forgotten us? Is He still good? What does His Word have to say about the feelings that come along with a life that didn't go according to plan?

When Life Hasn‘t Gone According to Plan

There's a tricky balance between talking about the deeper, important things and "scaring someone off". A lot of it comes down to timing and how you choose to broach the subject in the first place. So, today, we're taking a look at those things and offering some advice from the times we've had these same conversations. 

CouchCast: When to Bring up Physical Boundaries

This is one of our most requested topics! How do I know a guy's interested? What will he do when he is? Is he pursuing? Is it ok for me to pursue? We get all of these questions on the regular, so today we're breaking down pursuit... what it looks like, what it doesn't, how it looks at different relationship stages, and more!

What Does Pursuit Look Like?

We're convinced you learned everything you needed to know about dating before you ever left Kindergarten! And today, we're going to walk through the top 10 things on that list... clean up your own mess, use your words, keep your hands to yourself, and more!

Dating Advice from Kindergarten

It's the second half of "Mantra Week" today and we're rounding things out with Bethany's mantra, "Don't Date in a Bubble". We're going to talk about what it looks like when you are dating in a bubble, what it looks like when you're not dating in a bubble, and what to do if you find yourself in a dating bubble but want to get out.

Don‘t Date in a Bubble

Season 7 is here! And we're kicking the season off with "Mantra Week". Over the past few seasons we've both developed what could be called our dating mantras... and if you've been around for a bit, you've for sure heard them! Kristen's is "You want to be with someone who wants to be with you!" So, to kick-off our new season with a bang, we've decided to do an entire episode on each of those mantras. This is going to be fun!

You Want to be With Someone Who Wants to be With You

We've reached the end of online dating month! And, we saved the best for last. We can talk all day about how to date online and what to put in your profile and which pictures to use or which ones to not use, but does any of it really matter if it's not what makes an impression on the guys looking at your profile? Not really. So, we went straight to the guys and asked them their thoughts. Here's what we found...
