Hey there! Welcome to our Sober Dating Series—Swipe Smart! In this episode, we’re talking about Five Ways to Tell if Your Match is Sober Friendly Before the First Date. Dating can be tricky, especially when you're navigating the world of sobriety. But don't worry, we've got you covered! Whether you're tired of swiping on profiles that treat whiskey like a personality trait or you're unsure how to spot someone who's truly respectful of your sober lifestyle, this episode is packed with valuable tips to help you filter through potential matches.

We'll guide you through:

1. Spotting red flags in their bio (hint: if they talk about alcohol like it's a hobby, swipe left).
2. Understanding what their relationship with alcohol might be, based on key phrases like "sometimes" vs. "hard yes."
3. Decoding their photos—because if every picture includes a drink, you might be dating a cocktail, not a person.
4. Recognizing date ideas that scream "I love alcohol!" (like a vineyard tour) vs. ones that align with your sober values.
5. Trusting your gut when something feels off—it’s your secret superpower in sober dating.

This episode is a must-watch for anyone who’s navigating the dating scene without alcohol and looking to find a match who truly respects their lifestyle. We’re here to help you swipe smarter, so you can find love that doesn’t require liquid courage!
