33,000 Dates Later: What Actually Works in Dating After 50? | Andrea McGinty Oct 27, 2026

Show notes

What does someone who's helped facilitate over 33,000 dates know about finding love that the rest of us don't?

Quite a lot, apparently!

This week on From Mrs. to Ms., Andrea sits down with dating expert and matchmaker Andrea McGinty, founder of 33,000 Dates and the original creator of It's Just Lunch, for a refreshingly honest conversation about modern dating, dating apps, and finding love after 50.

And here's a little twist: Andrea McGinty's matchmaking career began when her fiancé called off their wedding just days before the ceremony. Talk about turning heartbreak into something extraordinary!

With more than 30 years in the dating industry, Andrea has seen just about everything. And she's not holding back on what singles are doing wrong, why dating apps aren't necessarily the problem, and what you can do differently to improve your chances of meeting someone.

We're talking about everything from whether women should message men first to how long you should text before meeting, what makes a great dating profile, and whether you should give someone a second date when there are absolutely no butterflies.

In this episode:

How getting dumped days before her wedding inspired It's Just Lunch
Why Andrea believes there are still plenty of great men and women on dating apps
The biggest mistakes singles make when dating online
Why women shouldn't always wait for men to make the first move
Matchmaking versus dating apps versus meeting people in real life
How to improve your dating profile and attract better matches
Why endless texting and phone calls can sabotage a potential connection
When to take a conversation offline and meet in person
How to approach dating after divorce and over 50
The first-date rules Andrea wants singles to reconsider

Plus, we put Andrea in the hot seat with some real-life dating scenarios, and her answers might surprise you!

And don't miss our rapid-fire game, Date Him or Delete Him! Would you go on a second date with zero butterflies? Date someone recently divorced? Or keep seeing someone who looks perfect on paper but doesn't feel right?

If you're frustrated with dating apps, tired of disappointing first dates, or wondering whether finding love again is even possible, this episode is packed with advice you can actually use.

Because maybe the problem isn't that there are no good people left. Maybe we just need to change how we're dating.

Is This What Healthy Love Is Supposed to Feel Like? | Andrea Gets Personal Oct 20, 2026

Show notes

What if the biggest sign you're in a healthy relationship isn't butterflies, excitement, or chemistry, but the fact that you finally feel at peace?

In this deeply personal solo episode of From Mrs. to Ms., Andrea opens up about her life after divorce, the responsibilities she's carried for her family, the heartbreak that changed her perspective on relationships, and what it's been like to find love again.

She's sharing the real story behind her new relationship, including meeting someone on Bumble, navigating long distance, learning to trust again, and realizing that love doesn't have to come with constant anxiety.

But even when things feel right, old relationship wounds can show up when you least expect them. Andrea shares a moment that brought those feelings rushing back and how a simple, honest conversation showed her just how different a healthy relationship can be.

This episode is about more than finding love. It's about setting boundaries, recognizing your worth, allowing yourself to be vulnerable, and discovering what it feels like to finally be yourself with someone.

Whether you're divorced, dating again, healing from heartbreak, or wondering if your person is still out there, this one's for you.

In this episode:

Life after divorce and the emotional weight of family responsibilities
The heartbreak and betrayal that changed everything
Finding love unexpectedly on Bumble
Dating long distance and making a relationship a priority
Why healthy love can feel unfamiliar
How past relationship anxiety can resurface
Setting standards without settling
Finding someone who loves every version of you

⏱️ TIMESTAMPS

💡 I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU:

Have you ever been in a relationship that felt completely different from anything you'd experienced before? Maybe for the first time you didn't feel anxious, insecure, or like you had to prove yourself.

I'd love to hear your story!

Emotionally Unavailable Men: Why His Words Don't Match His Actions Oct 13, 2026

Show notes

He says he's emotionally mature. He's ready for a relationship. He's a protector, a provider, and he knows how to treat a woman.

But what happens when his actions tell a completely different story?

This week on From Mrs. to Ms., Andrea sits down with relationship coach and relational leadership mentor Mike Elliott for an eye opening conversation about emotional availability, relationship patterns, and why some men don't show up as the partners they claim to be.

After his own divorce brought him to rock bottom, Mike was forced to confront the childhood wounds, coping mechanisms, and emotional patterns he hadn't even realized were affecting his marriage. What he discovered changed the way he approaches love, vulnerability, and relationships.

Together, Andrea and Mike explore why men sometimes say all the right things but fail to follow through, how to recognize genuine emotional maturity, and why asking the uncomfortable questions early in dating can save you from heartbreak later.

They also share an unexpectedly emotional moment about healing, learning to receive love, and finding the courage to face the parts of ourselves we've spent years avoiding.

In this episode:

Why a man might genuinely believe he's emotionally available when his behavior says otherwise
The difference between emotional maturity and simply knowing what to say
How childhood experiences can influence adult relationships
What to watch for when a man's words and actions don't align
Why difficult conversations reveal so much about someone's emotional capacity
How to recognize accountability, vulnerability, and healthy relationship behavior
Why personal healing starts with looking inward

Whether you're dating again, recovering from heartbreak, or trying to understand the patterns in your relationships, this conversation offers a different perspective on what emotional availability really looks like.

How to Stop People Pleasing & Set Boundaries Without Guilt Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

Are you struggling with people pleasing in dating and relationships or saying yes when you really want to say no?

In this episode of From Mrs. to Ms., Andrea sits down with award winning leadership coach and master hypnotherapist Amy Green Smith to talk about how to stop people pleasing, set healthy boundaries, say no without guilt, and stop abandoning your own needs to keep other people happy.

Andrea gets personal about the ways people pleasing has shown up in her own dating life, including a date she knew she wanted to cancel, her tendency to accommodate other people's preferences, and even a recent moment when she realized she was looking to someone else for approval.

Amy explains how to recognize when compromise has crossed into self abandonment, why someone's reaction to your boundaries can tell you a lot about the relationship, and how to stop overexplaining every time you say no.

You'll also learn Amy's simple three step framework for having difficult conversations, how to practice speaking up in low stakes situations, and why taking inventory of what you complain about can reveal exactly where you may need stronger boundaries.

Then Andrea puts Amy through “Compromise or People Pleasing?” with real dating scenarios including changing plans for someone you're dating, agreeing to keep things casual when you really want commitment, and staying quiet about something that hurt you because everything else is going so well.

Amy leaves us with one powerful reminder:

“Do not allow your silence to make you a liar.”

If you've ever worried that setting a boundary will make you difficult, selfish, or unlovable, this conversation is for you.

Let’s Marry Harry Ep. 6: “You Want Me to Marry You NEXT WEEK?!” Oct 02, 2026

Show notes

Harry Jowsey is down to five women, the wedding is ONE WEEK away, and finally someone is asking the question I’ve been screaming at my TV: Wait… you actually expect me to marry you next week?!

On this Episode 6 recap of Let’s Marry Harry, we’re heading to Las Vegas, meeting the families, watching Dannelle and Harry drop the L-word, and unpacking why Amber’s hesitation may actually make her one of the most marriage-ready women left.

Plus, the bathroom mystery continues, Sam starts asking some very important questions, Harry faces the ultimate parent test, and I’m raising his Husband Material Score to its highest number yet.

Is Dannelle still the woman to beat? Is Amber becoming the real frontrunner? And is Harry actually starting to look like… husband material?

Divorced. Dating Again. WTF Do I Do Now? | Separation Story Time Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

What happens after the divorce papers are signed and suddenly you’re sitting there thinking… what the hell do I do now?

This week, Andrea sits down with Amber Lee, creator of Separation Story Time, for a hilarious, honest and surprisingly vulnerable conversation about the part of divorce nobody really prepares you for: becoming single again.

Amber shares how her own divorce led her to start documenting the messy moments of starting over, eventually turning those stories into Separation Story Time and a community of people navigating divorce, dating, single parenthood and everything that comes next.

Andrea and Amber get into dating apps, the divorce glow up, terrible dates, falling in love again, being naked with someone new after marriage, body insecurity, sex after divorce, dating as a single mom and the very strange experience of realizing you actually might like this new version of yourself.

They also get very honest about the grief that can exist even when you know a marriage needed to end, why healing is anything but linear, and what Amber wishes someone had told her when she was sitting in the hardest part of starting over.

And yes… there are dating disasters. Because obviously.

In this episode:

• What divorce actually feels like versus what you think it will feel like

• Why dating apps feel like an endless supply of “options” that aren't really options

• The divorce glow up and becoming the main character in your own life again

• Falling in love after divorce

• Sex and body confidence after marriage

• Dating while raising a child

• When to introduce someone you're dating to your kids

• Staying friends with an ex

• Younger men, splitting the check and post divorce thirst traps

• Why starting over can eventually become something you never expected

Amber’s reminder for anyone in the messy middle: your life isn't over. You can grieve what mattered and still build a life you love on the other side.

Harry Said “I Love You”… Then Immediately Regretted It | Let’s Marry Harry Ep. 5 Recap Sep 22, 2026

Show notes

SPOILER WARNING: This episode contains spoilers for Episode 5 of Let’s Marry Harry.

Harry Jowsey just said “I love you”… and almost immediately regretted it.

Episode 5 of Netflix’s Let’s Marry Harry finally gives us some of the emotional depth I’ve been waiting for. Harry opens up about his fear of losing love, Amber and Harry connect over grief, Sam starts asking the questions that actually matter, and Juliana wants Harry to finally tell her how he feels.

And then everything goes off the rails.

Juliana tells Harry she loves him. Harry says it back. The problem? He doesn’t mean it.

We’re talking about why saying “I love you” just to avoid an uncomfortable moment isn’t kindness, why self-awareness means very little without behavioral change, and why chemistry and compatibility are two completely different things.

Plus, Amber shoots to the top of my board after a surprisingly vulnerable date… right before that mysterious bathroom situation changes the entire mood.

My Harry Husband Material Score is officially back up to a 5.5/10, but with that shower still running, I’m not sure how long it’s going to survive.

Tell me: Was Harry wrong for saying “I love you” when he didn’t mean it? Is Amber your new frontrunner? And what is YOUR Harry Husband Material Score this week?

Follow From Mrs. to Ms. so you don’t miss my Episode 6 recap.

Traditional Man Responds: Sex, Commitment & Dating Double Standards | Part 2 Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

What happens when a first date turns into a full blown debate about how men and women date?

Traditional Man is back for Part 2, and this time the conversation goes way beyond what happened between Andrea and him.

After hearing Andrea’s original episode about their date, he came on the podcast to explain his perspective. In Part 1, they unpacked what he says Andrea got wrong, why he was “testing” her, the low cut dress debate, feeling objectified and whether effort on a date creates expectations.

Now things get even spicier.

Traditional Man shares his views on sexual history, dating double standards, what men really think about a woman’s past, why he believes women’s preferences are celebrated while men’s are criticized, and one statement Andrea absolutely needed him to explain:

“Women control sex. Men control commitment.”

Andrea and Amy push back.

Do women control commitment too? Do men also decide whether sex happens? Should someone’s sexual past determine their value as a future partner? And can you have a dating preference without judging people who do not fit it?

Then the conversation takes one final unexpected turn.

And just when you think the debate is over, Andrea finally asks the question she never got answered: Did he actually want a second date? His answer might be the biggest surprise of the entire conversation.

This conversation is provocative, uncomfortable at times, surprisingly funny and exactly why dating conversations need more than one perspective.

Now I want to hear yours.

Did hearing Traditional Man explain his perspective change your opinion at all? Which argument did you agree with? Which one had you yelling at your phone?

And if you haven’t listened to Part 1 or the original Traditional Man episode, S8 E11, start there first.

💡 I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU:

Come find me on Instagram @from.mrs.2.ms and send me a DM with the argument you agreed with most AND the one you completely disagreed with.

Let’s Marry Harry Episode 4: He Called It Toxic… Then Saved Her Sep 11, 2026

Show notes

Spoiler alert: We are recapping Episode 4 of Netflix’s Let’s Marry Harry, and Harry Jowsey may finally be showing a few signs of husband material. But do not get too excited.

Andrea is joined by dating and relationship coach Ozzie Osborne to break down the growing tension between Amber and Juliana, Abby’s surprisingly meaningful conversation about married life, and Rickiyah’s powerful decision to choose herself when Harry could not fully choose her.

Then Harry identifies his toxic dynamic with Juliana, admits that he feels himself slipping into old patterns, recognizes that he is love bombing her… and saves her anyway.

Is self awareness actually growth if your choices never change? Is Harry looking for a wife, or is he still chasing chemistry, validation, and the emotional high of an unhealthy connection?

Andrea gives Harry a husband material score of 5 out of 10. Ozzie is far less generous.

He Heard me talk about our date.. Now “Traditional Man” Wants to Respond | Part 1 Sep 08, 2026

Show notes

What happens when the man you talked about on your podcast actually listens... and wants to respond?

Back in Season 8, Episode 11, Andrea shared the story of a date with a self proclaimed “Traditional Man.” She walked away from the date feeling questioned, tested and, at times, objectified. He walked away with a very different interpretation of what happened.

If you haven’t heard the original episode, go back and listen to S8 E11 first for the full story.

And yes, he heard the episode.

This week, Amy Watts is back as Andrea revisits the date and the claims he says she got wrong. But instead of trying to guess what he meant, they decide to ask him directly.

Traditional Man joins the conversation to explain his side, including what being a traditional man means to him, why he says he was “testing” Andrea, why he searched through her Instagram before their date, and whether a woman showing her body publicly creates any expectation about what she should give a man privately.

Then the conversation gets even more interesting when Andrea asks one very simple question:

“Did you earn my low cut dress?”

His answer opens up an entirely different conversation about dating, vulnerability, effort, entitlement and what men and women believe they owe each other when dating.

This is only Part 1.

Do you hear entitlement in his perspective, or do you understand where he’s coming from?
