What is Mock The Date?

Here at Mock The Date, we're on a mission to make dating fun and funny again. In this pod, we hear how dating is going for everyone on the front lines, in reality - and no information is too much information. It's a space for our WORST EVER dating fails stories, where we can learn and laugh about them. And you know the old adage; misery loves company. And we were sick of hearing about happy couples. So in a nutshell: less serious, but also helpful. Think of it like traditional radio, where a listener will call in and share their circumstances. Myself and my guest - sex, dating and relationship experts and influencers - then play and discuss your voicenote. And who knows where THAT chat will go. You know what that means? Your best dinner party story gets to go viral. Mock The Date is the perfect listen for: singles who know all too well how bad dating gets smug marrieds who want to relive their single days those who have no idea where to start dating people who enjoy hearing others fail anyone know wants a laugh on a walk, drive or workout About the host Rosalind Moody is the author of the recent dating self-help book The Spark: Sex, Love and Spirituality in a Toxic Dating World, which charts the chaotic dating misadventures of my twenties. Think a woo-woo Dolly Alderton meets Eat Pray Love. I'm the former editor of Soul & Spirit magazine and I’ve written for Stylist, Cosmopolitan, The i, Natural Health, Kindred Spirit and Writing Magazine. You better believe that my mum has framed it at the top of her staircase.

Mock The Date: Episode 6

<h3>🎙️ Mock The Date – Episode 6: Dating by Numbers with Bobby Seagull</h3> Welcome to Mock the Date, the hilarious new podcast where real-life dating disaster stories are aired like dirty laundry. Think of it like a dinner party where everyone’s finally bonded enough for the REAL storytelling to begin — spreadsheets, ghosting, chaos and all. This week, Rosalind is joined by the brilliant Bobby Seagull, a maths teacher turned author-broadcaster, and the man who somehow made numbers sexy. If you’ve ever wondered what dating looks like through a guy's eyes, this is the episode for you. You’ll know Bobby from University Challenge, BBC’s Monkman & Seagull’s Genius Guide to Britain, Channel 4’s The Answer Trap, Pilgrimage, The Real Dirty Dancing, Celebrity Hunted and even Geek Island — the Love-Island-meets-nerd-paradise spoof you didn’t know you needed. He also became globally recognisable on Netflix’s Indian Matchmaking, where he went viral as the man who brings spreadsheets to romance. This week, we go deep mathematically and spiritually for the finale of the season… strap in, it's the most enlightening of them all! For more expert dating economics, he can be found on Instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bobby_seagull/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">instagram.com/bobby_seagull</a>. <h2>💔 In this episode:</h2>Get cosy! Bobby shares:<ul><li>why some people find love at date 3, date 99, or even date 500</li><li>the things he wishes more women did on apps, socials or dates</li><li>whether you should go on a second date (if you felt absolutely nothing on the first)</li><li>how to split costs, and the maths of modern dating economics</li><li>his own disaster stories, and his insights on this week's listener stories</li></ul> 💡 Don't miss more hugely relatable listener voicenotes from the real-life dating trenches, including what happened when one date's dietary requirements became a deal-breaker, how to 'read a room' for that first kiss, and our funniest listener story yet - including her suitcase full of s*x toys. 💌 Got a dating story, disaster or dilemma of your own? We know you'll tell everyone at the next party you go to... so why not just tell us?
