Welcome back to Drinking Wine and Talking Shit, where we sip, vent, and laugh our way through life’s chaos. This week, we’re pouring a crisp Sauvignon Blanc and diving headfirst into the wild, messy world of modern dating.

💔 From ghosting to breadcrumbing to orbiting (yes, that's a thing), we’re breaking down the bizarre jargon of dating today. We’ll share real-life horror stories from listeners, unpack the psychological toll of these behaviours, and offer tips on how to survive the dating maze with your sanity intact.

🧀 This week’s pairing: Sauvignon Blanc + assorted bruschetta (because dating, like bruschetta, has its sweet, salty, and surprising moments).

🎭 What you’ll get in this episode:

• A crash course in modern dating terms
• Hilarious and cringeworthy listener submissions
• Pop culture insights like HBO’s Swiped and "Why Modern Dating is Broken"
• Practical tips to spot red flags, protect your peace, and prioritise self-care

🎤 Interactive fun: We’re reading your dating disasters on air—don’t miss the laughs, the gasps, and the head-shakes of solidarity!

So grab a glass, hit play, and join us as we untangle the madness of today’s dating scene. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe to keep the laughs coming every week!

✨ Cheers to surviving modern love, one sip at a time. ✨
