Jodi Klein

Jodi knows that dating can be challenging - especially in your late 30s and beyond. A successful businesswoman, she found herself navigating the dating world later in life.

Jodi has hosted 56 interviews with women who have extraordinary dating tales to tell and dating coaches on the First Date Stories podcast. She is the author of the book "First Date Stories: Women's Romantic and Ridiculous Midlife Adventures," which was published by She Write Press and writes for this blog.

Siobhan and Carl

ByJodi Klein

Do you have a long-standing rule that you’ll never break? Siobhan’s was to only go on first dates in public places.

She felt she knew a lot about him. She said “YES.” On our Season 4 premiere, we find out whether Siobhan was right to break her rule and all that took place after she did.
