0:00.0	The following podcast is a dear media production.
0:04.0	Hey guys, welcome back to We met at Acme.
0:10.0	I'm so excited for today's episode with Allison. She is awesome and I think it's a very
0:17.2	important subject to get into because we all have anxiety in some way or another and some you know what if that doesn't apply to you that's amazing you are blessed
0:27.2	but you know especially in 2023 when everything is online, well almost 2024, everything is online,
0:38.4	social media, we see our friends hanging out without us, we see photos that give us FOMO all these things and you know we're more
0:47.8	self-aware than ever and so I think that we're tuned into if we have anxiety or not like that's just a normal thing and how does anxiety or not like that's just a normal thing and how does

1:55.2	about it and these questions are questions to kind of get closer when you're dating
1:59.8	someone when you're going out on dates with someone let's say like fourth fifth date I could you
2:04.4	could even ask these on the second or third and it's like so important to just like
2:10.2	get past the surface when you're dating. That is the true key. I mean you remember if you've been
2:17.0	listening to this podcast. I told you on the second date with Stephen I actually asked him all these
