Mock The Date: Episode 6

🎙️ MOCK THE DATE – EPISODE 6: DATING BY NUMBERS WITH BOBBY SEAGULL Welcome to Mock the Date, the hilarious new podcast where real-life dating disaster stories are aired like dirty laundry. Think of it like a dinner party where everyone’s finally bonded enough for the REAL storytelling to begin — spreadsheets, ghosting, chaos and all. This week, Rosalind is joined by the brilliant Bobby Seagull, a maths teacher turned author-broadcaster, and the man who somehow made numbers sexy. If you’ve ever wondered what dating looks like through a guy's eyes, this is the episode for you. You’ll know Bobby from University Challenge, BBC’s Monkman & Seagull’s Genius Guide to Britain, Channel 4’s The Answer Trap, Pilgrimage, The Real Dirty Dancing, Celebrity Hunted and even Geek Island — the Love-Island-meets-nerd-paradise spoof you didn’t know you needed. He also became globally recognisable on Netflix’s Indian Matchmaking, where he went viral as the man who brings spreadsheets to romance. This week, we go deep mathematically and spiritually for the finale of the season… strap in, it's the most enlightening of them all! For more expert dating economics, he can be found on Instagram at instagram.com/bobby_seagull [https://www.instagram.com/bobby_seagull/]. 💔 IN THIS EPISODE: Get cosy! Bobby shares: * why some people find love at date 3, date 99, or even date 500 * the things he wishes more women did on apps, socials or dates * whether you should go on a second date (if you felt absolutely nothing on the first) * how to split costs, and the maths of modern dating economics * his own disaster stories, and his insights on this week's listener stories 💡 Don't miss more hugely relatable listener voicenotes from the real-life dating trenches, including what happened when one date's dietary requirements became a deal-breaker, how to 'read a room' for that first kiss, and our funniest listener story yet - including her suitcase full of s*x toys. 💌 Got a dating story, disaster or dilemma of your own? We know you'll tell everyone at the next party you go to... so why not just tell us?
