Summer Lovin‘: LA Love Bombs, Hamptons Elite, and Jersey Shore Beach Life w/ Heather & Kayla

Shot girl summer is right around the corner - if it hasn't already hit for you yet ;) This week, we have guest Heather (LA-based) and Kayla (Philly) talking about the differences in summer culture and how it can affect dating in LA, Philly, and NYC. We discover that while there isn't a major shift in LA culture, especially with dating when the weather gets *a little bit* warmer, the ever present "love bombing" occurs year round. Heather shares stories of her dating fails, including when she accidentally went out with a homeless man, a snooty Johnny Depp impersonator, and her year-long emotional affair with her handy man that drove her to see a sea witch. It all worked out for her in the end, though. 

The east coast, on the other hand, has a major shift in dating culture between the winter months (AKA cuffing season), where people try to hunker down with a significant other as they stay inside to get away from the cold, and the warmer summer months where people prefer to be single as they migrate to the beach or enjoy going out to rooftop bars and beer gardens. Kayla and Ashley share their experiences going out in the Hamptons, where Kayla's family has a house, and discuss hook-up culture there along with feeling out of place with some of the New York elite. Ashley also gives an inside look into life staying in downtown Philly during the summer months as well as what it is like at the different beaches down the Jersey Shore. She also discusses the differences in the dating culture with more laid back Philly folk, who mostly go up with friends that know one another, and how that differs from being in the Hamptons.
