Exit Interview
Hosted by Julie Krafchick & Yue Xu · EN
Dates don’t usually end with a satisfaction survey. And yet — we rate everything in our lives, from Uber drivers to local coffee shops. We complete "exit interviews" when we leave our jobs, so why don't we do the same with dating? Dating experts Yue Xu and Julie Krafchick (Dateable) invite guests to participate in the ultimate social experiment: conducting exit interviews with their exes and past dates. For the hopeless romantic going out on hundreds of dates without any sticking, will she find out what she’s consistently doing wrong? For the reformed f-boy who’s ready for a real relationship but can’t move past a situationship, will he learn how to express affection? For the high-powered executive who worries they intimidate all their romantic prospects, will they learn what really makes them shine? Tune into every episode of Exit Interview to hear the good, the bad, the cringe, and the shock of real feedback from real dates, and the lessons we can learn from them.

Transcribe →Episode 11: Is Your Lifestyle a Dealbreaker? w/ Caroline
May 11, 202300:49:53Tap to summarizeWe all have that thing that we are positive is blocking our romantic paths.. For Caroline - she’s convinced that it’s being a single mom. Is that really what’s holding her back from her second chance at love - or is it something totally different? In this next installment of Exit Interview, Julie Krafchick and Yue Xu of Dateable makeover Caroline’s life by doing the scariest thing ever: call up her old flames for feedback. Why did one ex decide Caroline wasn’t worth driving to see? How did one relationship become “accidentally” exclusive? What was the real reason her ex moved away? The results are surprising to Julie and Yue, but especially to Caroline – because the real reason she’s not finding love is nothing she’s ever considered.
