The convenience of on-line dating often allows a person to go on multiple first dates in the same day.

Many people, including Vermonters, turn to online dating to meet a potential match.

Live call-in discussion: Dating is hard enough, but dating in a rural state like Vermont has its own unique challenges. This hour, we'll talk to a relationship coach who helps people write their online dating profiles, a bartender who has witnessed many awkward dates from the other side of the bar, and an Upper Valley couple who show that dating has no age.

Our guests are:

  • Marla Goldstein, relationship coach, G-Spot Coaching
  • Lorinda MacLeod and Francisco Reyes, of Hartford, who met at Bugbee Senior Center in White River Junction
  • Kate Wise, bartender at Juniper Bar & Restaurant

Broadcast live on Friday, March 17, 2023, at noon.
