Have you been seeking marriage or a longterm relationship but find it eludes you? Have you ever wished someone would just give you the honest truth about what's up? Today's guest is the famed straight-shooting relationship author, Tracy McMillan. Tracy shares what she believes the single biggest mistake people make when it comes to dating, why she thinks FWB arrangements aren't a good idea, and her thoughts on masculine/feminine energy in a dating climate which, unlike a mere decade ago, forces women to pursue. Whether you're in a happy relationship (in which case I promise this will have you nodding in agreement) or you're single and looking (or not!), Tracy's perspectives on human behavior and relationships are as satisfying as they are insightful.Tracy McMillan is a television writer, relationship author, and was a matchmaker on NBC's Ready For Love. Her viral Huffington Post article, "Why You're Not Married" is Huffington Post's most-viewed article ever (!!) and it inspired her subsequent best-selling self-help book, "Why You're Not Married... Yet". She has appeared on Oprah and Dr. Phil among many others, and her Ted Talk titled "The Person You Really Need To Marry" has over 16 million views.More TracyInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/tracymcmillanBuy Her Book, "Why You're Not Married...

It's Caller Day! Have you ever dated someone whose platonic friend(s) didn't exactly welcome you with open arms? Today's caller, Dayna, has a predicament which inadvertently touches on social dynamics when it comes to dating: jealousy, social hierarchy, a partner's say in who we spend our time with, and how friendships can change when someone in the friend group finds their Happily Ever After.

Have you ever wondered what dating and relationships are like when you're a celebrity? How do famous folks meet these days, and when they do, what's different? Do they behave differently in dating than the rest of us, and do "civilians" stand a real chance with them? Our resident celeb is comedian, famed roaster, and podcast host Nikki Glaser! She is brutally honest in her assessment of dating at her (self-assessed) "B-list" level of fame, her own celebrity crushes (including some of Bachelor Nation's finest), and the do's and don'ts of sliding into the DMs of the rich and famous. In addition to being simply hilarious and her trademark unfiltered self, Nikki has poignant takes on love and "The One"—do NOT miss this one!Thanks to our sponsors!

Have you ever watched a reality TV dating show and wondered what that poker-faced host is REALLY thinking? As Temptation Island fans and general admirers of its host Mark L Walberg's piercing commentary, we're thrilled he agreed to join us for a Confessions episode! Temptation Island brings on four straight real-life couples who are at crossroads in their relationships, separates them for a month, and has them live with (very forward) straight singles of the opposite sex. It originally debuted in 2001, at the start of the reality TV boom, and was rebooted in 2019.As the host of a show with an obviously controversial concept, how does Mark navigate the usual trappings of reality TV "trash"? Does he make his own personal predictions about the couples and their outcomes? Does he pick favorites among them? How much does he really know when heading into a "bonfire"? How has Mark's own marriage informed his ability to spot and call out destructive relationship behavior? Mark is a very open and endearingly honest guest, and whether or not you're a fan of Temptation Island, his perspectives on relationships, love, and life are worth listening to.In case you're interested in dipping your toe into Temptation Island, Sharleen's favorite season is Season 4 (or Season 1 of the reboot), and Andy's is Season 5 (or Season 2 of the reboot).

It's Q&A time! We're back, answering YOUR burning questions. 🔥 How normal are growing pains when you and your partner first live together, and is it too harsh to deem your partner's living habits unattractive? If you think you're falling for your soon-to-be-roommate—who also happens to be 6 years younger than you—should you explore this or let it go? If you're "cloaked" by someone on a dating app, even after making plans, should you call out their rude behavior?If you have a relationship question, write us at: [email protected] and watch the episodes on YouTube! https://bit.ly/SubscribeDearShandyFollow us!
