This week on Jeans and a Nice Top we answer an age-old question: what happens when dating stops being fun and starts to feel more like trudging up a mountain that is populated solely by emotionally unavailable folk?

The chaos era - a time when you sleep with everyone, flirt with everyone, are just a hundred percent feeling yourself and are bold enough to let everyone around you know. We often judge people when they're in full chaos-era mode, but why? What's wrong with being confident, sassy and sexy? This week, I'm chatting to The Bodzilla, aka April Hélène-Horton, about how to own your chaos era in a safe way, mentally and physically.

Being consciously single sounds like a wankfest (literally and figuratively, lol). But really, it's just about enjoying your single years, instead of thinking about them as some weird relationship purgatory. This week Mel chats to Alex Bruce-Smith about redefining what being single means, psychics predicting construction worker life partners, and more.

This week Mel chats to Lucy Neville, everyone's favourite unofficial agony aunt, about breakups that come out of nowhere, major heartbreak and how we heal.

This week Mel chats to Helen Chik, author of new dating bible-slash-memoir, Sex, Swipes & Other Stories, about f*ckpeople – how to spot them, how to deal with them, and when to exit stage left from a situationship with one.

App profile curation is a THING! A bad app profile can totally see you missing out on hot dates and good chats. This week we recap our trip to Mount Isa, Ash's (former) fantasy home. Mel gets on the apps and is surprised at the talent out west, plus we discuss the best (and worst) app bios and photos. Turns out, the fish pic just doesn't work across the board.

The two-drink rule: when you're on a date and feel obligated to have two beverages minimum because any less would feel awkwardly short. It's great to be kind when dating, but often our kindness veers into toxic politeness, where we stick around on a chemistry-less (or worse, red-flag-ridden) date just to be nice. This week, we chat about how to extricate yourself from a date smoothly, plus why it's important to be a little selfish ...

Hello friends and listeners - we're back! Returning for season four on the day of love, we dissect all things Valentine's Day. From why going on a first date on Feb 14 is a terrible idea to what a good night in actually looks like, we've got thoughts, opinions and advice.

For our season finale, we're making a few resolutions - and we hope you guys do too! Going into the New Year, setting goals is top of mind for a lot of us, so we conjured up a few around dating.

This week, Mel chats to Clementine Ford about her new book, How We Love. In it, Clementine muses on love, loss, and everything between - and chats with Mel about whether we desire romantic relationships (and marriage) or think we need them in order to have a fulfilling life. Does 'The One' exist? Should you take your husband's name? It's all covered this week.

This week on the podcast we are joined by AJ Clementine. AJ is a model, digital creator and transgender advocate, who is passionate about sharing her transgender journey to help others going through a similar experience.

If you've been to the shops lately, you would have seen the shelves stocked with tinsel and realised that yes, Christmas is knocking on our doors. To celebrate the sale of novelty biscuits and ugly earrings, this week we delve into the silly season and dating. From Christmas party hookups to buying a gift for a new squeeze, we discuss why this time of year makes us go a bit bananas.

**TRIGGER WARNING** This episode discusses domestic abuse and violence. While we do not go into detail, it may be triggering for survivors.

As Sydney and soon Melbourne emerge from lockdown, IRL dates are back on the cards. But how can you stay safe while still having some fun? And how can you suss someone's stance on vaccination before meeting up? No matter where you are in the world, this chat is a relevant one.

Welcome back, guys! This week, we're talking about age gaps - should we be extending those age limits on our apps, or is there a reason (a good one) that we don't date people heaps younger/older than us? We think not - and we're gonna tell you why.
