9 AGO. 2023 · In this week’s episode of Datemare with Hayley Marie Norman, Hayley announces that she’s hanging up her headphones, at least for now. Even though she’s been hailed as “the smoothest host there ever was, effortlessly engaging, flawlessly gorgeous, and definitely not the one writing this”, she has chosen to put the pause in p(ause)dcast. Hayley is very proud that she took a topic that could have made her sad and jaded but instead turned it in to laughs and thoughtful dialogue. She built something from the ground up and brought it to the world using one of the attributes she’s most proud of her, her vulnerability. We’re calling this the end of season 1, which feels wonderfully open-ended in a “one day at a time” way, meaning there is always opportunity for things like picking it back up, releasing special one-off episodes, or pivoting in any way she finds inspiring. Stay tuned in and subscribed so you don’t miss a thing. On this special Season Finale/ Part Two with Ishmael Sahid (Freevee’s Jury Duty), they continue to chat about dating trends and easy breezy things like how childhood traumas can dictate your attachment style. Ishmael has a “hypothetical friend” with an upcoming hike date, the most controversial date of all. Now y’all be careful out there ‘cuz these dates just keep datemaring.

1 AGO. 2023 · On this week's episode of Datemare with Hayley Marie Norman we welcome Ishmel Sahid (Freevee's Jury Duty). Hayley loved this convo so much, that she's releasing it as a two part special! On part 1, Hayley opens up about the anxiety she feels hosting a podcast about dating. This is perhaps the most vulnerable she's been on the pod?! Ishmel comes with thoughtful questions that really get Hayley thinking yet out of her head at the same time. Hayley tells Ishmel that she could never send a "like" on a dating app first and Ish is like, but is it that serious tho?! She could also literally never bring herself to ask someone out! Surprise suprise but Hayley can actually be SHY! Hayley reads an embarrasing exchange she recently had on the dating app Raya. They also discuss the best way to get a convo going and how to move past mundane conversations. (Pls, as a stranger on the internet, don't ever message me asking, "How was your day?"!! And while we're at it, I don't want to know how your day was either. I literally don't know you. You could tell me you killed someone and I wouldn't even pause Seinfeld. Just say something funny! But it can't be a dad joke, I hate those. OMG wow, dating is impossible?? *I'M* impossible?!?) Ish and Hayley share thoughts on their ideal partners. Hayley's life is so full and beautiful and she reflects on how the expression of love for all is what life is all about. <3 Now y'all be careful out there cuz these dates just keep Datemaring!

25 JUL. 2023 · We're comin' in hot for you on this week's episode of Datemare with Hayley Marie Norman. We are joined by the one and only Kevin T. Porter (Gilmore Guys, Good Christian Fun) who is hilarious and insightful with his dating do's and don'ts. The two talk love languages, pheromones, and even pull out their phones to compare dating profiles! Spoiler alert: Kevin has the best Hinge voice prompt of all time. And Hayley is very confident about hers. Like if you're not swiping right on her, what are you even doing with your life?! They question whether an emphasis on shared taste can be a detriment to true compatibility. However, they take deeper dives in to more controversial differences like age and height. Hayley has literally no interest in being friends with someone it didn't work out with (she's already v popular, thankyouverymuch) while Kevin got three texts from a 2018 Hinge date turned friend just in the time we were recording. They are also adamant that ghosting is trash and we need to have a rise up in 2023 culture where all who do this are banned to the Loser Ghost Island. Also, like the episode title suggests, Kevin drops the mic on explaining how dating is essentially the hit HBO show Succession. Now y'all be careful out there 'cuz these dates just keep datemaring.

18 JUL. 2023 · On this week's episode of Datemare with Hayley Marie Norman, we welcome Hayley's dear friend of thirteen years, Malcolm Barrett (Amazon's The Boys, BET+'s Average Joe)! He's not only one of Hayley's favorite people, he's also her FIRST MALE GUEST ON THE POD! *Cue Jamaican air horns* The two pontificate on the age-old question, can men and women really just be friends?! They have an interesting conversation about a topic that plagues all single people: is that person not texting you back right away 'cuz they're busy...or do they just not give a shit about you? And how do you know the difference? Hayley discusses the awkard moment at the end of a Hinge date when the guy confessed he'd had a crush on her as a fan for the last decade. And because this podcast follows her dating-after-divorce journey, she talks about the dudes she discovered had been waiting out her marriage to slide into her DMs. Malcolm shares some random awkward dating shit he did that you'll just have to listen to to understand. I guess it involves face blindness??? I can't possibly sum it up here. The two also swap anectodotes about their careers in Hollywood. Pls listen/subscribe and review the podcast!

27 JUN. 2023 · After a three week hiatus, Datemare with Hayley Marie Norman is back! We are joined by the legend that is Rachel True (Half Baked, The Craft, author of True Heart Intuitive Tarot). The ladies discuss SO much! Hayley talks about her mission to make being a cat lady sexy. The ladies share their personal ups and downs of being black women in Hollywood. Hayley and Rachel discover they're both charismatic people who aren't sociopaths. When they dive into dating, Hayley surmises that Rachel's soulmate is in Europe. Rachel shares her worst dating stories including one involving a magician. Rachel, a proud Gen X'er, jokes about P.E. coaches from Pacoima sliding into her DM's. She did however just join Tik Tok and would like you to tell your daddy that's she here. Meanwhile, Hayley shares a bunch of thoughts she no longer stands by (lol). After all, this show does follow her ever changing thoughts on her search for love and this episode was recorded a few weeks ago. Most importantly, Hayley would like to clarify that she *is* actually a snob when it comes to a potential parter having luxury lifestyle essentials. It's called Parachute, honey. Look it up. Dial soap? More like Bye-Bye'l soap. Hayley also opens the show by stating that she's "actually really grateful" she's single during this time. That is complete insanity and she has no idea why she'd ever say that.

11 MAY. 2023 · On this week’s episode, we welcome guest Chelsea Devantez (head writer for The Problem with Jon Stewart, ABC's Not Dead Yet, Celebrity Book Club with Chelsea Devantez) just in time for her birthday! Whoo hoo! Dating is difficult but Chelsea and I discuss how to harness your main character energy to make it actually enjoyable and an excuse to not be a pajama woman. We talk about why NOT to have dinner on a first date and invent an unfortunately necessary nervous system game called, “Red Flag or Fate?” Datemare with Hayley Marie Norman is for those partnered *and* not partnered, but I especially hope this episode gives our single listeners hope, self-esteem, worth, and even tools to help make the process of finding love a little less awful.
