Spot Red Flags & Avoid Bad Dates In 2025 || U Up? Podcast || Ep. 619

Happy New Year, U Up? listeners! J&J are ringing in the New Year doing what they do best: going a little bit off the rails. Jared plans to celebrate the New Year by toasting his martini to the moon (and hopes you will toast him back, wherever she is). They reflect about their 2024, before diving into some of Jared’s 2025 dating resolutions which include new-and-improved dating lines, personal improvement, and why you should be an even worse first date. Then, we hear from one listener who wants to know if she should be vision boarding her relationship, and an older listener grappling with a middle-aged breakup. Finally, we end with a quick “Red Flag or Deal Breaker,” where every write-in has us asking, “what’s going on with men??” Intro 00:08 Jared's 2025 Dating Resolutions 02:52 Email 1: Should couples try manifesting a happily ever after together? 21:08 Email 2: I’m starting over in my mid-40s.
