43: Neverending Story

In this episode, Matt, Steve, and Jessica will be talking about Matt’s dating life right after his divorce was finalized. He has been going through a very rough divorce because his ex-wife had insisted that she would be the one to file the divorce papers, and she dragged it on for more than a year and a half during which time Matt was going through the dry spell of the century. He wanted to start dating, and he weirdly expected lippage (making out) on the first date with the first person he would date, but his mom advised against it, so he shelved the dating idea altogether.

After the divorce was finalized, he could finally start dating, but he was having a hard time finding the kind of person he was looking for from the network of people he knew. So he joined a dating website called LDS Planet, and with his great copywriting skills, he was able to build a good dating profile that got him a lot of potential dates. The dating experiences he had with the different women were not so encouraging for him because he was looking for something serious with someone he had stuff in common with.

The one thing he didn’t like is the fact that about 75% of the women would lie about themselves on their LDS profiles. An example was when he went on a date with someone and noticed that she walked funny like she was handicapped, but she had never mentioned on her profile that she was handicapped. Matt will share the experiences he went through dating each of the women he dated before he met Jessica, and it’s going to be a mix of funny and inspirational storytelling that will definitely make your day. So make sure you stay tuned.
