She's baaaack! For the first time ever, and by popular request, we've brought BACK a Hot Topic guest to pick up where we left off! Our first episode with @matchmakermaria, 4th generation matchmaker and host of the Ask A Matchmaker podcast—was such a hit that you asked for more! Our "Confessions Of A Matchmaker" episode with Matchmaker Maria, aka Part 1: https://youtu.be/BSZBFzBkXLc?si=d3F2tqYThazu_Mar Today Maria returns to answer follow up questions from Part 1, but also to give us her tough-love and honest take on the rules of dating. Sharpen your pencils, Shandies, because Dating School is in session! How is swipe culture affecting dating today? What's Maria's 12-Date Method, and her Pre-Date 3-2-1 Prep? Who pays on the first date, and does she believe in living together before getting engaged? Finally, what is Maria's "controversial" opinion, and will Shandy agree or disagree?
