June 23, 2025
Watch here:
Is online dating a love story waiting to happen—or just a string of ghosted messages and rogue pizza toppings? In this relatable and hilarious episode of Coffee Catch-ups Espresso ☕️, Tanya and Amelia dive into the rollercoaster that is online dating. From awkward speed dates and dream meet-cutes to bad bios and ghosting frustration, they explore the real deal behind the apps—and how faith, fun, and friendship can all play a part in the dating journey.
🎧 In this episode, they chat about:
✔️ Gen Z’s shift away from dating apps
✔️ The highs and lows of online connection
✔️ Ghosting, validation, and “the endless scroll” dilemma
✔️ Why messy dates (and messy burgers) are sometimes the best ones
🍕 Plus: A “Snack Chat” on foods you definitely don’t want to eat on a first date
💬 Whether you’re single, swiping, or side-eyeing your dating app with suspicion—this one’s for you.
