About this listen

Shot by Qupid is a queer dating and culture podcast unpacking love, identity, and connection in all their messy, funny, and honest forms.

Hosted by Ajay Pabial (he/him), each episode brings relaxed, living-room-style conversations with guests sharing real stories about dating, relationships, situationships, self-love, visibility, and navigating queer life today.

From dating disasters to finding community, from nightlife personas to long-term love, Shot by Qupid explores what it really means to be seen, desired, and loved — both by others and by ourselves.

New episodes feature unfiltered conversations, cultural commentary, and the experiences shaping modern queer dating and connection.

Because love isn’t always perfect — but the stories are always worth telling.

    Can dating yourself actually change your love life?

    In Episode 1 of Shot by Qupid, we unpack self-love, solo dating, and how learning to enjoy your own company can transform the way you date and connect.

    Ajay sits down with Chris to talk about navigating shame in queer spaces, travelling solo, and unlearning the idea that being alone means being lonely. Together, they explore how choosing yourself first can shift your confidence, mental health, and the relationships you attract.

    The episode also dives into queer visibility, public displays of affection, and how simply being comfortable in your identity can become representation for others still finding their place.

    Because sometimes the most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one with yourself.

    💘 Follow Shot by Qupid and share the episode with someone learning to love themselves a little louder.
