And I'm Alisha. Right. Welcome to lovestruck daily, the show where we bring you your daily dose of love.
I got a question for you. You are the most qualified person I know to answer this and I am the least qualified person to answer this question, which is why I'm asking you is love a numbers game? Do you need to go out on a lot of dates to really narrow down what you're looking for? Yes. Okay. This talk. Thanks for tuning in. Yeah. Yeah.
And just get my coat. No. Yep. I 100% love. I believe that in the modern world. Sometimes love is a numbers game. Like you just have to kiss a lot of frogs. And when you live in a city, I mean, you live, it is like you could have a date every night. And there were a couple of weeks where I would do that where I would just, I'd book like two a night, because I figured one of them would always cancel. And sure enough, I never had a problem where like I had to run from one to the other or anything. I am in awe, because he looked mildly horrified. I am just,
I am just stuck on the idea. And granted, I'm very introverted. And I've been in the house for almost
three years here. Oh, yeah, things are different now for sure. Different now,
the idea of going out and doing the social and emotional work of getting to know somebody at six. And then starting over again at nine. Kind of makes me want to go hide, oh, it was terrible. Like I am in like this, I bought that you could do this.
I was I was determined. I mean, I would go through spurts where I'd be like, I'm determined to find somebody and I go out there and put myself out there. And then I'd be like, I'm tired. And I pause on my apps. Have you been on any date? Sarah, you just married your
I met my husband in high school. And we got together our freshman year of college and a long distance relationship and have been together since 1990 1994.
Yeah, very, very different life experiences. We married her high school sweetheart.
I really want to unpack this a little more. But before we do that, I want to introduce you to our guest today. Comedian Dalia Glick, who went on over 201st dates in the process, discovering more about her sexuality and her entire life outlook I should imagine before falling in love with print Roy, who has only ever gone on seven first dates. Welcome, you guys. It's so lovely to have you here. Welcome.
Good to see you for having us.
So tell you, you used to keep a running list on your notes app of all of the terrible dates you had been on in Los Angeles. Yeah. Tell me about this list. Please tell me everything. Just Just Just tell me every
day the list is called the list. very descriptive.
does what it says on the tin. Okay, so I
haven't organized by people I've had sex with people I've hooked up with meaning no sex. And then people I've just kissed and then people I've gone on one or more dates with not doing anything physically with my favorite one is probably one I have written down that Joey spaghetti and I know this because this guy smelled like spaghetti on our first date. And then we went on another day. And he also still smelled like spaghetti. And he was so nice and so good looking and very, like lovely, lovely person. But I was like, Oh my gosh, his natural scent is spaghetti. So I can't do this.
Either. He works in an Italian restaurant like to eat. Maybe there's an Old Spice scent, instead of like bare glove and winter weapon. It's spaghetti.
It's so funny. What, like quirks come up where you're like, Oh, I would never think that that's something that I would not date someone for. But now that you're in front of me, I don't think I could
do exactly and like I'm very pansexual I'm I'm clear. I don't have really a type. My list is all over the place. And so, like, I didn't know that would be a deal breaker either, because I consider myself a very open minded person. Right? What was what was
your dating life? Like? Are you in you're both in LA right. You're both here. And you've been you've been dating here as well.
Yeah, I think it really was location specific though. I'm glad that you asked, you know, made sure that we're both in LA because when I grew up in Pittsburgh or near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which is super rural. I was like I am from Pittsburgh. Where
did you grow up with two boys or for sales?
I don't know what either of those places. I was in South and watch County. Oh, you
were in you were you were way out. You were way out in the boonies say
yeah Got You said that like in Pittsburgh, that's all. That's awesome. Well, that's a grab for me at some time.
I would be okay with a man who smelled like protein. Please tell me tell me more. Tell me more.
Totally. Yeah. So I mean, in Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, I kind of felt pretty self conscious about dating. I felt like it was something that I really did throw myself into. Because, I mean, I was like, one of like, four or three non white kids to graduate from my high school. And that really made me feel like I don't know, I'm not like the target demographic when it comes to dating here. But I mean, yeah, no, I went I you know, I tried to, I tried to do it as early as I possibly could. It's definitely not for lack of effort that I don't have that many dates early on in my dating life. But yeah, no, it was just the basic high school stuff, like asking someone to a dance and go into like some bowling dates or, you know, the the ice cream place nearby. But I'm not as data driven as Dalia, which is interesting, because I work in tech.
So how did how did you two meet?
We met on the tin because, you know, up on those apps,
I'm just envisioning prints pictures on Tinder. I've never been on Tinder but here's a picture of print holding some spaghetti and
cheese was so cute and so neutral. And he just you just could tell he was a nice guy. But he had like kind of a little funny. I still remember it was like, I eat like trash, but then work it off with my Shake Weights, which was like, it was just like fun is cute. Yeah,
that is that is adorable. Like really, really cute. Well
played, sir. Well played.
Thanks. Great. Had a picture of his driver's license. And if you can the driver's license then like, know that you look good. And I was like, No one looks good. their driver's license. How's he cute, his driver's license?
It truly is. I think the best picture of me whenever whenever I go to the airport, and I'm going through TSA or whatever, I always get a compliment on the ID. But really, yeah.
To tell them what you told me about your experience at the DMV?
Oh, my gosh, I've experienced but there was the the first brown person I've ever met was working at the DMV, which is super cool. I feel like we're taping tech and, you know, seven elevens and stuff and branching out, which is super cool. But he was super nice. And then he took a bunch of pictures of me when I was there. Like he let me pick and choose between the stuff and like yeah, what? What a nice uncle just like you Oh, wait,
was this guy your age? He might have been flirting with you.
Potentially? A little bit older than me, I think but yeah.
What about what about telling his profile? Do you remember that?
Yeah. So um, it was insane. There were some. There were some funny pictures in there. No, it was it was. I definitely could tell that she was she fit very, she fit in very well on the east side of LA. Like it was very artsy. Like it was very intentional. And also the bio was actually my in it was something that I thought I could work with which I think your bio said something along the lines of bad at math. good at everything else. Oh, I think that was great. I thought that was so funny.
That's an amazing little little like, intro I like that a lot. That's cute.
I love the idea that that someday you're going to be like telling people about your your Tinder profiles. Like that's going to be this little relic of the start of your relationship that you both remember. That's just so adorable.
He really is so non judgmental, too. I really thought I was gonna be like, too weird for him. Because on our first date, he all of a sudden was like, I gotta go. And I didn't realize he was like really tired. And then he was genuinely just like overworked and exhausted that day.
I mean, Dolly, it gives you the same respect definitely. And definitely much more to. I mean, she plans things she planned our second date from beginning to end like we went to this beach, and she brought like paints. And she brought like, which
were terrifying for him. By the way, he was so scared to do painting.
Well, I have right here I have the painting that we did. And he had to explain it. At the end of it. We punched a hole through it. Oh, interesting. We painted it. There's several layers. There's like things that we were working on. And then she was like, okay, no pain over it. And I was like, Ah, this worked so hard on this. And then she you know, she brought their sandal over it because we weren't careful with it. And it was sort of like a yes and exercise that she called. Very nice. sort of roll with it, you know, and like, I mean, like, but what I took away from that is that she just did a lot of planning and she really cared to make sure that I had fun and just was listening to my feelings and just sort of like, let the date go in a way that we both were having fun. Were
you were you both smiling when you walked away from those first dates.
I mean, yeah, I was psyched. I was like, I can't believe she was saying on the second time. I was really intimidated when I first walked into her apartment like she just had like a really bright, beautiful smile. She was an amazing communicator like she was just like keeping the conversation going and I'm initially socially awkward. A lot of time, so I was like, okay, all right, let's you know keep nodding, smiling, like, reiterate what you just said. Let's
see. Meanwhile, I think I was like, oh my god, I talked way too much. I like really, I was like scary. He came all the way to me he was so like, on time, and just like so sweet. We have a really cute moment where we had a first kiss. That was very PG, but I will say like, the second kiss we had was like our true first kiss. The second one, we went to a bar and we were hanging out great conversation, everything blah, blah, blah. And then, you know, we go back to his place, and I was going to get my car gave him a hug, goodbye. And I was like, Okay, so we're just friends, even though we just like we had kissed before. Like, that was pretty chill. And like, I really like him. Like, I'm down to like, hang out as friends. Again, the car, I'm turning on my maps, and I felt like totally at peace. Usually, in those situations. I would have been like, what's wrong with me? But I was like, totally chill about it. He knocks on my window, the passenger seat, and he's like, Hey, can I come in for a second? I was like, Yeah, I was like, Do you need to drive home? I was joking. Because I was parked right in front of his house. He was like, Can I give you a kiss? And I was like, yeah. It was so good. I was like, good job. And then I left and I was all aflutter. And then I was like, let's go.
Were you nervous before you knocked on the window to get in the car? Were you just sort of sitting there going? I kind of want to kiss her. But now she's in the car.
Yeah, that those are that's some courage right there. Yeah, I
was definitely kicking myself because it was like, it was definitely something that I wanted to do. She'd already gotten in the car. And I was like, you know, doing the whole like, 10 second countdown like okay, she hasn't left yet. Maybe I should go knock on the window. Then I was like, obviously, like, Let's go. i You know, I got it done.
I am so happy for your happiness.
Yeah, I really am. You guys are great together. Well, thank you guys so much for coming on and talking about this. We really appreciate it. You're the cutest couple, we wish you years and years of happiness. And and you know, maybe some happy tears. Yeah.
So I have a last thought here I have a an idea for our love to go for this episode. And this is also something that you told me that it is okay to be discerning and selective and have expectations and standards of how you want to be treated. And that is not only okay, it's a good thing, because I remember you once saying to me, Look, people think that even the expectation set out in romance fiction that you're going to have an emotional and intimate connection with somebody that someone will treat you as worth their time. And treat your time as important. You once said, that's the floor. That's not the ceiling. Yeah. And you work your way up into the ceiling. And it's okay to have expectations of people and how you want to be treated.
Yeah, I fully I fully believe that and I continue to believe that
you are worth it and your happiness is important. Yes. Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Love Struck daily. Check back every single day. To get your daily dose of PA.
