Dates Or Mates?

What’s This Podcast
About?

Dates or Mates is a dating podcast fueled by dating matches, questionable prompts, and the app that swore it was “designed to be deleted.” Hosted by a girl and a guy who are brutally honest friends, the show dissects real dating experiences in today’s messiest dating climate—where everyone wants connection, no one wants commitment, and the algorithm is doing its own thing. Each episode dives into dating app culture: recycled prompts, voice notes that should’ve stayed unsent, profile photos that raise immediate concerns, and dates that make you rethink trusting your gut. From ghosting and breadcrumbing to “what are we?” conversations and post-date over analysis, nothing is safe from the group-chat-level breakdown. With sarcasm, self-awareness, and zero dating delusion, Dates or Mates isn’t here to sell fairytales—it’s here to ask the real question after every match: Is this actually going somewhere… or are we just killing time on Hinge? Date… or Mate.
