    Empathetic and Real
    If you are navigating dating and you are over 40 yrs old, listen to these true stories. You’ll feel supported and know you are not alone with the unpredictable world of seeking a positive relationship.
  • Bay Area Carolyn
    So supportive!
    This is a combination of close girlfriends talking about what it’s like to date after age 30, 40, 50 and older, sharing advice and supporting each other to go on, and a wise big sister who truly cares about each woman. I was so impressed with host Jodi Klein’s generosity to help midlife women during the dating process by creating this podcast, so that they are inspired to keep dating until they find their partner, as she did. The way she supportively interviews each woman about her date elicits honesty, tenderness, good humor, and insights. The episodes range from heartfelt, confident, and hilarious to sobering, and I love how Jodi always ends with the lessons and tips for other women. I’m going to recommend to all my single women friends, Brava Jodi!

    Binge-worthy Podcast!
    I listened to Season 3 in one afternoon and can’t wait for more episodes to be released! Jodi is a skillful host and draws out the deeper insights and learnings from her guests’ experiences. I learned, I laughed and I am inspired by these storytellers. If you’re dating or thinking about dating, this podcast will make you feel like you’re with a group of wise best friends.

    Great stories for all women!
    From the good to the downright horrifying, this podcasts gives real insight into the ups and downs of dating. Though focusing on women in their 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s, this podcast is relatable for women of all ages who are attempting to navigate the world of online dating. Would definitely recommend to those seeking comfort in knowing that other women are experiencing similar dating situations!

    Entertaining and enlightening!
    The first dates really do run the gamut from fabulous to horrendous with everything in between and all the stories are engaging. Everyone is so open and candid - I love that!! And the host is a great interviewer because she doesn’t seem like an interviewer. The discussions sound more like a chat over wine with a bestie. Will be sharing with all my friends who’re dating!
  • FromSanFranciscoWithLove
    Inspiring, educational and entertaining!
    Jodi finds the most interesting people to interview regarding dating! The stories are fascinating with a nice balance of highs and lows - all shared with a great wit and charm. A must for anyone in or contemplating the dating scene!

    Women helping women
    This podcast feels like girlfriends sharing their funny or crazy dating stories! It’s encouraging to know it’s never too late to go on a date!
  • LPHLPHLPHLPh
    Super, super helpful!
    I love listening to these stories! They have been comforting and inspiring. Being a divorced woman in my 40s, dating in this status is one of the most daunting things I have ever experienced. It was great to relate to others’ stories and know there’re so many woman in my shoes who have found love and success in their relationships. I gained a lot of helpful insight and it felt great to be able to relate. I recommend listening to these podcasts if you are out there struggling date after date to find the right one.. or want to be entertained!

  • Sue SF
    Excellent Podcast
    Connecting with other women is so fundamental to our health and well-being. But most of my friends can’t relate to my dating life. That’s why I was so excited to hear about First Date Stories. What a great concept. It’s not only intriguing to hear what other women experience, but helpful to see how they cope with the inevitable issues that arise. And wow, do they arise! Love this series!
