Dating and The Big D

axwell Anders, Charlie Gold, and Sommer Bailey discuss their dating experiences in Dallas-The Big D and welcome their first guest on the show, Ben the Soldier.

Catching up on the last week's dating encounters...

Sommer went on three tinder dates. One guy ordered nothing and just sat there the whole time! What does it say if he/she does not order anything? Another guy complained about this job and life the whole time. We all have a negative side but there is something to be said about bringing your best foot forward on the first date. Was he just looking for free therapy? The third guy was the best date of the three. They had a romantic dinner at Bolsa in the Bishop Arts District. However, he is planning on moving in a month! He had such game that he invited her. Will she go?

Max is continuing his journey of self-love and self-exploration. He joined a Facebook group called "Gay Man Thriving" which is a company that works with gay men tired of being alone. He joined their 5 Day Challenge which focused on empowerment and daily affirmations. Think of it as a vision board for love, dating, and self hotness. Max and his buddy Daniel went to Stereo Live in Dallas to danced the night away to the rhythms of DJ Ummet Ozcan where they talked to a few cute guys and had a great time!

Charlie and went on a date at Toasted in Dallas next to Milk Cream on Lower Greenville Ave.
