    2025/07/02

    Dating is complicated. Add being an international student to the mix, and you’re playing on expert mode. But what’s it actually like to navigate American dating culture, swipe through endless apps, and figure out what the heck “situationships” even mean?

    In this episode, Timo and Ploy are serving up ALL the piping hot tea on dating in the U.S. — the good, the bad, the weird, and the absolutely unforgettable! From gay dating adventures to straight girl problems, we’re covering EVERYTHING about American romance culture and honestly? Some of this stuff is WILD.

    🎯 Here’s what we’re dishing about:

    • What the actual heck does “casual dating” mean and why is everyone so obsessed with it?

    • Dating app nightmares that will make you want to throw your phone in the trash

    • The culture shock of American hookup expectations vs. what we thought dating would be

    • Memorable dates that were either amazing or absolutely tragic (no in-between!)

    • How being gay vs. straight changes the entire dating game in America

    • The spicy drama and messy situations we’ve witnessed (and maybe experienced 👀)

    • All the unspoken dating “rules” that nobody actually explains to international students

    This conversation gets into ALL the juicy details of what it’s really like trying to find love, lust, or literally anything in between as international students. We’re keeping it 100% real about the hilarious disasters, unexpected wins, and everything that made us question American dating logic.
