What’s An Appropriate Age Gap?

BETCHES MEDIA
About this episode

Jared and Jordana are back with another episode, and this week’s conversations have everything to do with age, sex and a special message for Nick Viall. Jordana asks Jared what’s his age limit for dating and hookups. Next, our first emailer wants to know if she’s in the wrong for turning down dates once she’s not sexually interested. Could she create a romantic connection and focus on sex later? The Awkward Sexual Encounter inspired a new career for Jared. Then, a new divorcé writes in wondering whether he should reach out to former flings now that he’s ready to seriously date again. The episode ends with a round of Red Flag or Deal Breaker about the line between creepy and cute, bad pickup lines and love bombing.
