GIRL YES! This makes me so happy for you! Definitely pro- online dating lol. Currently 26 years old and have been married for 2 years to my tinder date I met 5 years ago 💕 and now we’re 7 weeks away from having our baby girl. Just listen to your heart and don’t settle for anything less than what you deserve! As soon as you see a red flag, NOPE! Your true love will treat you perfect and don’t let anyone convince you otherwise

thank u soooo much for making a video version! your the best

i love hearing stories from you!!!!! loved this ep sooo much !

I really enjoyed how lighthearted this video was! I remember how sad and torn you were a couple months ago and it makes me so happy to see you heal and be in a happy and fun place 🥹❤️

I got out of a relationship about a year and a half ago and I started going on dates earlier this year. At first it was fun and felt freeing, being able to meet new people, figure out what I want, and look for in a relationship. I deleted my dating profile about a month ago. I felt I wanted to date someone I met in person, I feel like sometimes online dating can feel awkward, talking to someone you don't truly know. It's been tough for me putting myself out there since the break up, I get super sad at times when I think about being in a relationship with someone new, because my past partner was my first relationship and we lived with one another and it didn't workout because we were in different places in life. Sometimes I feel I need to get out of my head and truly let go of him, I know he's dated other people and moved on. Sometimes I ask myself "Why can't I move on when he has?" and I feel bad for still being attached to him and what we had. I would love to experience being in a relationship with someone else, but I feel guilty if I do, as if it's wrong for me. It's been so confusing, but I'm learning to enjoy my time with myself.

Absolutely LOVE this for you. You go girl!! This is the beginning of a beautiful new chapter in your life 😇

I love listening(and watching) your journey so much 🥰🫶🏼🤍🤍🤍 love you Lindsay!

i was out with a friend when you uploaded, but i’m excited to watch now!!👏🏽💗

your voice literally relaxes me. please continue to make theseeee

I loved this episode Lindsay! I literally felt like I was having a convo with my bestie. I agree with you 100%, dating scares me and I sometimes don't even want to do it lol! I hate dating apps, can't do it! lol but I am happy that you are putting yourself out there and learning more about yourself! Love from NY

This was my favorite video I’ve watched of yours so far!❤

I absolutely loved this podcast! I listened to it while I was at work then came home & watched it here! I’m so proud of you Lindsay 🤍

I loved this storytime! Your voice is incredibly calming. I just relaxed & was absorbed by your dating diary. It was wonderful. I'm about to be 30, & I've been engaged twice. It hasn't gotten easier, but Girl I still got it too! 💁‍♀️ So I'm staying positive! 💋

Omg this came at such a good time. I got out of a 4 year relationship last year and told myself I wanted to be single for a year to heal, grow and reflect. Well here I am a year later ready to start dating but terrified beyond my mind hahaha. I think I lack the confidence to actually go on dates and just get too nervous with the idea of it being awkward. Please talk more on dating! 💗💗

We are getting all the tea I love it! I’m so proud of you❤

GO OFF SINGLE LINDSAYYYY!!! 💕💗 i love this for you! i love the podcast, & listening to ur journey

YES PLEASE STORYTIMES 🤪💕

thank you for sharing

You’ve been keeping such a juice story from us😭😭 I’m so proud of you for putting yourself out there, I feel like a proud mom🤍

Coming from someone who has never been in a relationship, it is so interesting hearing what the dating scene is like & I’m 21👀

My husband and I met through a dating app in 2016. I told him I liked his blonde hair and beard and he asked to go to a movie sometime. We now have 3 small kids, married for 3.5 years 💛💛💛

Just in time before class 🎉 ily girly 🫶🏼

I needed this!! Just got out of a toxic long term relationship with someone I’ve known since middle school. I realized I’ve never really dated before.. I’m not emotionally ready rn and busy focusing on myself but will def keep this in mind for the future!

A side effect of Benadryl is being very tired/sleepy! Haha but that’s so funny that he was trying to stay cool about it 😅 Love the podcasts girlie! Your content is amazing and you always keep me excited for another video 🤍

I’m not even halfway thru the video and I’m loving this topic. Im going thru this exact situations!!! it’s so frustrating

the way i audibly gasped when i saw the title lmao so proud of you!!

I’m married & a mom now, but I remember being freshly single out of high school & digging into dating apps! It was so much fun & I went on a few dates that were ew also lol I can’t imagine dating now, a lot of peoples dating views are alarming & people are weird. But it’s refreshing to see your mindset & how you can learn from these new experiences, enjoy the journey! 💛

Lindsay I got out of a relationship last year around late november, I started crying when you talked about 6 figures, I needed to hear this, thank you ❤

I met the love of my life on Hinge. I will say I think that is less common than the apps would make it seem. The trouble with using dating apps is the thing that you both have in common is wanting to date, and not necessarily something you enjoy like you’d find if you met someone doing one of your hobbies or something. I’m proud of you for getting back out there though, that’s always the hardest part ❤

I really like this, you should do other one!!!!

The ant story killed me lmaooo, I loved this video!!

love these videos!

Dating is crazy thee days! keep getting out there and having fun! Stay safe ❤

I relate to this so much! I was single for the first time since I was 18 at 24, it was quite the process getting used to it

it's illegal to be this early🥴❤️❤️ love ya girlyyy!!

girl yes! dating does scare the heck out of me but i find it so fun too just to like experience someone new when going out with them & seeing how their personalities are. It’s definitely made my standards be way too at the top but hey i like playing hard to get not gonna lie😅 single girl era is where it’s at though🥳

omg i absolutely love that movie kinda summer ur doing fckn amazing girlie

Loved this one ❤

I was dating my ex for two years and ended things because of a few reasons. I wasn’t interested in dating or having a relationship for a long time. That was until I started talking to someone I went to high school with my freshman year (I went to two different schools then). He is honestly everything I could’ve asked for and more, and has made me learn to appreciate myself more than I had before

I’ve been using your videos to heal and you remind me to stay a bad bitch!!!! I went on my first date this morning and I had SOOOOO much fun. I was so nervous to go and felt so guilty because I was scared about how my ex would feel and if it would hurt him but I have to put myself first, put my own happiness first and not block any blessings. So I went on this date and had SOOOOOOO MUCH FUN!!! I couldn’t recommend going on one more. Explore and have fun girl u deserve it ❤

YAYYYY EARLY !! 🥰❤️ I always see all your videos but I never comment lol 🤦🏻‍♀️ but YOU GO GIRL 💕

What frame is the eyebuydirect tortoise glasses you wear? I love them 😍

That's good you deserve better but Gaurd your heart 💗

Taking down all the notes! Was single for 4 years; basically all of college years. Then got into a year relationship, talked for 8mos before dating bc i swore the next guy i dated was going to be my husband so i had to make sure it was a good person.. didn't happen. Now i am single again and feeling the 24 yr old vibes of being free and in the moment.

girl I feel like we are on facetime I love this!

i literally just dropped everything to watch this rn

*Immediately clicks on video in the middle of my meeting* 💗

HERE WE GOOOOO

Dating sounds so scary to me.. I was in a 3 year relationship when I was 17, then a year after that ended got into another relationship that is going 6 years strong! Married and having our second baby🥰 I hope you don’t have to experience any more dates that make you feel uncomfy… but glad you were able to express how you felt, such a growing step! 🤗

Dating is honestly scary! I’m in a relationship right now but I’ve always been terrified of dating… it definitely gets better as you learn what you like and don’t like 😊

Dating scares the crap out of me !! 😅I just got out of a 2 year relationship and funny thing you had that story about that guy who had an allergic reaction cause w my ex OUR FIRST date I didnt know what walnuts looked like since I’m allergic to them and we went to eat and I ate ALL the shrimp walnut at panda inn and thankfully I only break out in hives but I got home with my body on fire😅😂🤣funny story always to tell ! I havent gone on a date and it’s been 6 months post breakup and I dont feel ready anytime soon just focusing on me rn and my happiness🧘🏽‍♀️🌸✨

I loved this episode so much even tho we don't date here in the UAE! but I was listening as If I will be dating, lol. LYSM

Yesss bring Natalia!!!🧡🧡

I’ve been in a relationship since I was 15, I’m 24 now, we’ve been together 9 years, so I would relate to this if by horrible chance we ever ended lol

Thank you so much!!!😊😊😊😊😊

Dating definitely scares me too! I’ve noticed I immediately put up a wall whenever a boy gives me the slightest attention and then always wonder why I’m single 🥴

I’ve always been a shy person so online dating was a great alternative for me to meet people I otherwise never would’ve approached! My bf and I met on an online dating app - I was afraid we wouldn’t have much in common bc I was so inexperienced in a lot of areas. I “liked” his page anyway and once we started talking I found out very quickly he was super down-to-earth and we had a similar sense of humor. We just hit our 5 year anniversary last month. I agree that dating really teaches you about yourself and also what you want/don’t want so I think any date, good or bad is a learning experience. I was very transparent about what I was looking for on dating apps (ie I wanted to be in a relationship) so I wouldn’t waste the other person’s time or my own. If you decide to pick it up again, I hope you have fun (and be safe!) 💛

why are you so funny without even trying

Coming from someone who is healing, I don’t think you’re ready to date. However have fun being single, enjoy your independence, enjoy your alone time. Based on my experience, online dating can be exhausting and overwhelming at the same time, they’re either crazy or complete jerks. Enjoy your youth, enjoy time with friends and take yourself on dates that’s when I knew I was ready to date and commit to someone.

My best friends older brother whose married now, dated a lot, sometimes multiple people not exclusive, he always tell us when dating, have fun, don’t think of finding the one, just go in with the mindset of, I’m about to meet a new person, just go with the mindset of let’s meet all the people, might not work out but I’ll have a great/awkward/bad story to tell friends Asking 50/50 Garlic Herb/Truffle fries

i've tried dating apps and never had any luck.. ppl suck at carrying conversations lol

Benadryl makes you super sleepy 😂

I love this for you 🥰🥰 love single Lindsay 😚

Ur matcha looks sOooOoo goood

Lindsay, outstanding reflecting & wisdom that most dating-age 'girls' can relate to. The 🤠: Yikes; cringe-cringe: You have to feel sorry for such clueless dudes, been there ... 😑😐

Lindsay, what about one of the good cafés near Cal Tech? Take some of your editing over there, sit for a while with your work & a great matcha ... imho, you have a geeky side, indulge it; soak up the atmosphere over there in beautiful Pasadena. Like-minded activities usually result in some good like-minded connections. Just my two-bits-worth. 💻☕

I just deleted my datings apps cause it's hell in there😆😭 but im wishing you success❤❤

He was sleepy from the Benedryl 😂

19:10 story i am DEAD lol

Truffle friesss😁

My bf (ex) and I broke up last early November. So it’s almost been a year and I’ve yet to go on any dates! I don’t feel ready and I’ve heard the dating pool is 💩😭 I did go on one casual movie/ dinner date with a friend who had a crush on me but that’s it lol we didn’t end up going on any more because I had no feelings for him. I honestly haven’t kissed anyone since the breakup which kinda sucks lol 😆 but I’m patiently waiting to be ready again! I also am not open to dating apps because I’ve heard bad experiences so I’ll just stay off and use regular social media instead 😅

I met my man on Bumble and now we’re planning on getting married and having kids LOL

Both fries 😂

Hey booooo😊

Please be careful when dating, especially if none of your friends don't know them. There's a lot of strange people out there and they have no clue how to act or read the signs all wrong..like the booty slapper and how a kiss means you're dating 🤦🏻‍♀️🚩🚩. I can't imagine dating in these crazy times, especially in LA, I would be so skeptical of everyone and their intentions lol.

its not Lindsay if she doesnt have her matcha

First ❤

Yea benadryl makes you drowsy thats why he was sleepy

Six figures. That’s so shallow

So happy for you! I met my bf on hinge! We’ve been together for over a year & a half & closing on our house in December!! I know you’ll find your soulmate🫶🏼

i’ve been single my whole life, i’m 20 now and sometimes i feel like i’m missing out bc my friends have boyfriends or have dated in the past, and i feel like i have high expectations on boys and i feel you when you say that dating is scary hahahah🫶🏼 love you sis

i met the love of my life on TINDER (i know i know…) it’s a funny story really because my cousins secretly set up an account for me because they thought i needed to go out more and meet new people. i was single for 20 years (i’m 24 now) BUT long story short i met the loml, i’m in the happiest and healthiest relationship. couldn’t be happier!

18:40 i had the same reaction.....🫢 omg he did not.

Hey I went through a break up after being cheated on and was super hesitant about dating apps. I tried Hinge and met an incredible man, who is now my bf!

Am I the only one that thinks that a male should not be obligated to pay for a date. Like imagine if females were obligated, you would just end up paying so much towards so many people who may not even be interested in you.

I love this for you !! 🥺🫶🏻🫶🏻 Good luck in your new experiences
