Date Expectations (ft. @oliverrobertsmith)

so someone who has not dated in London, what is the London scene like specifically? Do we want to start with you or do we want to end with you, Alex? [laughs]

Um, I can, I can start.

Yeah, why don't you start?

I can give very briefly.

I only dated very briefly as a gay man in Perth-

Mm

... before moving to London because I had a boyfriend most of that time.

Um, but I do find having moved to London, the scene is...

Uh, there is a lot more options.

I, I find, like, Perth is very small, and then the gay community is even smaller.

Everyone knew everyone.

Although surprisingly, I never bumped into Alastair, so-

[laughs]

... maybe not.

By design.

[laughs]

Yeah.

That was, that was probably for the best.

Um, but I'm also probably the wrong person to ask 'cause I have met all my boyfriends on Grindr.

I have never actually been on Tinder, Hinge, all of those apps as a gay person, so I don't actually even know-

Yeah, but you're still dating.

You're still going on dates, right?

Yes.

Yeah.

So what's it like?
