No guests, no filter, just Mike and Tev working through the questions coming in from the DMs. This episode covers the full Q&A: how to let someone down gently after a date without being a coward about it, whether you should stay friends with someone you're not attracted to, how to actually build the confidence to walk up to a woman in public, why women post old photos and what that says about insecurities, and how to get to know someone properly before you meet them in person. There's also a strong case made for ditching the texting game early and just calling her, and why an unsolicited FaceTime might not land the way you think it will. Plus the bad date story. A blazer, never to be seen again. RIP tailored clothing. Homework: Do the workbook! Download it here Email us your bad date stories: dadsdatingdilemmas@gmail.com

No guest this week, just Mike and Tev in the studio, and honestly that might be more dangerous.

This episode is pure Q&A. Mike answers the hard questions and Teva tells him he's wrong. They get into whether the half your age plus seven rule actually means anything, what to do when she ghosts you after a great date, whether kids belong in your dating profile, and the question everyone is too scared to ask out loud: Should you even be dating if you're still not over your ex?

There's also an anonymous tip from a dad who figured it out, a strong stance on love bombing, and a firm reminder that if you're going to lie about your height, she is going to find out the second you walk through the door. Closing out the episode, the thousand kilometre trip. A bloke cuts a solo trip short, drives home early, and pulls up to find someone who looked nothing like her photos. His words, not ours.

Episode 2 brings in the show's first ever guest, a real single dad named Lockie, captured and recruited from a late night at the pub (or the gym - stories differ!)

Mike and Tev get into single dads dogs, the merits and dangers of the Tinder walk, and why using ChatGPT to write your opening line to a woman is a hard no.

Then Lockie joins for a proper Q&A. He gets into navigating the apps after 17 years in a marriage, the dopamine chase, why he doesn't regret jumping back into dating early, and what he wishes women understood about dating a single dad. There's also a strong take on rejection that might just become a recurring quote on the show.

Plus, this week's bad date story: a coffee date, a drive-by recon, a woman who hadn't updated her profile photo since 1989, and a man who burned his mouth on purpose just to get out of there faster.

And homework. Even though apparently nobody did last week's.

Consider this your orientation. In the first short episode of Single Dads Dating Dilemmas, Mike and Tev introduce themselves - two people with, by their own admission, questionable dating credentials - and make the case that's exactly why single dads should listen.

They dig into the findings from a survey of 541 single dads.

From there, the conversation gets into the games, the mixed signals, the impossible checklists, and why showing up as the freshest version of your post-divorce self probably isn't the flex you think it is.

And closing out the episode, a bad date story from one of Teva's followers.
