Welcome back to The Dating Orange! 🍊

This week, the Orange chats with Samantha Keating, founder of Your Friend, My Friend, about running over 150 singles events across Ireland. Sam breaks down why meeting offline beats swiping on apps, why people need to give the spark time to grow, and the mystery of getting men to actually show up. This is a must listen for anyone done with dating apps.
