In brief
British writer Elizabeth Day and dating coach Mel Schilling are set to release the podcast "How to Date," sharing valuable tips from their personal experiences with online dating, particularly suited for those re-entering the dating scene later in life.
In her late 30s, Elizabeth Day, a British writer and podcaster, faced the challenging world of singlehood after a divorce. With dating apps on the rise, she found navigating this new landscape daunting, admitting it felt like “a jungle out there.” Eventually, she met her husband on the app Hinge, prompting her to create the new podcast “How to Date,” a limited series extending from her well-received podcast “How to Fail,” which is currently in its 20th season.Alongside Day is Mel Schilling, a renowned dating coach featured on the reality show “Married at First Sight,” where couples meet and marry on the same day. The dynamic duo, who both met their partners online at the age of 39, share insights from their own journeys, striving to assist others in their dating endeavors.“I want to teach the world how to date,” Ms. Day expressed. She emphasized the absence of guidance available during her own dating experiences, wishing for a podcast that could have offered support and advice. The podcast is scheduled for release just in time for Valentine's Day, aiming to equip listeners with valuable tools to help them navigate love in the digital age.
