In this season of MID, we are answering the dilemmas and questions that you, our listeners, have sent us.

This episode is all about the excitement, fear, insecurity and orgasmic joy of MID dating. Who better to enlist to answer your questions than the very funny and very smart Cath Mahoney, who herself is currently ‘between boyfriends’ - so trust us, she knows the good, bad and ugly (and the great) about all things dating.

The dilemmas that Cath & Holly tackle in this episode are:
I’ve reconnected with my Facebook ex - he’s not NOT married - and I’m feeling like maybe he’s the one that got away…but my best friend is telling me to let it go.
I’m on the apps…and I’m thinking about dating younger men. Do I? Should I? How?
I’ve been having the best sex of my life since my divorce…but now my ex wants me back - I’m tempted - but I don’t want to give up the hot sex!
Is it bad to want to date someone with money?

You can follow Cath here and get her book here.
