Every one of us has found ourselves out on a date with someone who creeped us out. And no…it’s not gender-specific. But what does ‘creepy’ even mean? Why is it often so hard to define?

Well, in this episode we break down exactly what constitutes such infamous creepy behavior…and how it tends to impact men and women differently. Is it possible some people don’t even realize they’re being creepy? Do others know for sure they are in fact creeps, but like it that way?

What’s more, why is it perfectly normal guys are often so concerned they’re going to come across as creepy? How do we relax and avoid that worry…lest it weirdly become a self-fulfilling prophecy?

What is the difference between male creepy behavior and the female version? How many women out there have somehow convinced themselves it’s impossible for them to be creepy?

Stay tuned for the one shining example of how the absolute best of intentions can actually backfire spectacularly and seem insanely creepy. What are the warning signs that the person you’re with is starting to get creeped out?

Next, Emily creeps me out in real time by randomly shifting the discussion to disgusting bodily functions…and in doing so makes a really good point. What kind of behavior might be creepy when you barely know someone, but completely normal and okay once you’ve been around each other for a while? And why is that?

Under what rare circumstances could a certain person get away with something socially that would be creepy if nearly anyone else did it? If a first date is going in a creepy direction, is there any way to salvage it?

Is ‘Mr. Nice Guy’ creepy to women? How can a man who by all appearances should be the most attractive to women easily end up being the creepy guy instead…for the same reasons? And why is is that whether we move too quickly or too slowly sexually, we’re creepy?
