Ali & Erica are back with in-depth listener questions, otherwise known as Hot Topics! This week, we discuss: reaching back out to someone you rejected (or always wondering what if), managing emotions when someone you’re dating updates their app profile, & who should initiate a first date. 
 In updates, Erica goes on a puzzling first date and successfully executes a DM slide after meeting a man in the wild. Meanwhile, Ali is live from Prague and chronicles her latest attempt to meet people IRL. 
 Timestamps: Topic talk begins at around minute 49.
