Diaries of a homosexual

this week I explain the juicy details of my six-month hiatus, following your passions, how I have been improving myself, and what the future of the podcast will be. There is some real advice in here that you definitely won't want to miss.

Feeling anxious about being alone forever? got no rizz? This week let's talk about some things that have helped me to feel less anxious when it comes to relationships and how to get good at being alone. It's important to feel good about yourself before you start dating so let me share with you some of the things I do every day that keep me feeling confident (I guarantee you haven't heard of them). When things start going well in the relationship department it's impossible to know the right time to pop the "L word" but let me give you my rule of thumb on how to tell if it's that time.

Join me this week as I share about my recent trip to LA, where I discovered that there are two different types of fun. What happens when you come back from your trip and realize you've been procrastinating on work? Don't worry. I've got your back with some handy tips on how to get things done even when you've left it to the last minute. I will also tell you my pro tips for a vacation so you don't end up with mild arsenic poisoning from tap water.

And speaking of things that come out of nowhere, let me tell you about Teefy, the guy who headbutted me on the Skytrain in Vancouver. Yes, it really happened, and I'll share the valuable lessons I learned from the experience.

I'll also touch on first kiss nerves. I'll share some personal stories and tips on overcoming those jitters and making that first kiss a success.

Lastly, we'll tackle the age-old question of whether they actually like you or if you're just delusional. Trust me; we've all been there, and those things they're doing you think are signs they like you may mean just what you think they do.

In this episode, I'm dishing out some of the most creative and wacky date ideas that'll have you feeling like a love guru.

But first, let me tell you about my near-death experience on a date in the woods at night (note to self: don't go on a hike at night). And then there was the time I spent Valentine's Day flying in a plane with a guy (yes, I know, I'm just as surprised as you are).

And if you've ever wondered why people ghost others, or why it's even called ghosting in the first place, don't worry, I've got you covered. I'll also be tackling the toxic term 'broken heart' and why it's time to retire it for good.

But it's not all doom and gloom - I'll also be sharing the importance of surrounding yourself with good people, especially when it comes to dating. Plus, we'll be answering the burning question: why is it so freaking awkward to eat in front of someone on a date?
