## Resource

It’s truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in the modern world has endured at least one truly disastrous date. It is, regrettably, a rite of passage. Author Alita Bryson has been on hundreds of them! One guy asked her if it was okay to marry your cousin, another trolled people online for fun while yet another literally drove off mid-date. While her dating life was catastrophic, Alita realised it made great fodder for entertainment and so she started the Instagram page Bad Dates of Melbourne , publishing anonymous submissions of terrible dates so that women could take comfort in each other’s suffering (and laugh at each other’s misfortune). Alita has some sage advice for anyone out there brave enough to date. Further information: How to date like a dangerous woman is published by HarperCollins. This episode will answer questions like: How can I meet someone new? Is it ok to ghost someone? Should I pay for dinner on a date? Can I leave a date if I don’t like the other person? How can I meet a potential date safely? What to listen to next: The new way to date The ugly side of the beauty industry with Jess DeFino Is your attachment style messing with your love life? Jess Mauboy steps into her boss lady era What to read next: Empty-nesters on how they 'fill the void' left by children Why these women have never had a partner These grieving mothers want you to say their babies' names This episode contains references to Bad Dates of Melbourne, dating, dating apps, Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, relationships, sex, orgies, orgasms and how to date like a dangerous woman.
