1. How To GET THE GIRL - An Ask Women Podcast Ep. 550 “How to Handle Flaky Women - Throwback” centers on Omar, Kristen Carney, and Marni Kinross talking through dating problems and direct communication. 2. Kristen Carney is one of the hosts, Marni Kinross is the co-host and best-selling author of Get Inside Her, and Nick Gara joins as the “voice of man” and a comedian. 3. The episode asks what busy people should do when phone calls, texting, and plans keep drifting instead of turning into dates. 4. Omar says a woman called him, laughed at his “bodyguard” jokes, and then made excuses whenever he tried to meet her in person. 5. The hosts connect Omar’s situation to another woman who asked whether he was seeing other girls and to the problem of lingering in phone conversation. 6. Marni tells Omar to say clearly, “I am a busy guy, but are we willing to make it work?” 7. Kristen compares hesitation in dating to a comic booking a bar gig, where a small sign of doubt means moving on. 8. Omar says he has also been talking to a woman from Tinder on Skype and that their dates included ice cream, water, and hand-holding. 9. The woman says she does not kiss on the first date, which leads the hosts to examine what counts as a positive sign and what counts as a stall. 10. Kristen then shifts the conversation to her own dating life after ending an eight-year relationship about two months earlier. 11. She says she went on a date with a guy from her hometown area, kissed him while drinking, and then went on a second date to see how she felt sober. 12. On that second date, he told her he is into guys, and he said he does not want a relationship with a man but does hook up with men. 13. Kristen says the disclosure did not make her dislike him as a person, but it reduced her attraction because she was picturing “penis and mouth.” 14. The same date turns awkward when another man at the sushi restaurant flirts with him and later comes back to ask how the date is going. 15. Kristen says the other man then yells at him to leave, and she compares the night to “an episode of Sex and the City.” 16. The episode also includes a running conversation about jealousy, because Kristen asks how men should handle other men approaching their dates. 17. The tone stays fast, joking, and reactive, with frequent interruptions, teasing, and callbacks to Omar’s hair, phone reception, and surgical schedule. 18. The format moves between advice, personal confession, and live problem-solving rather than a single planned interview arc. 19. People dating after a breakup, or dealing with mixed signals, will get the most from it. 20. Listeners wanting a calm, tightly edited interview will probably skip it.

As heard by us

Dating talk with sharp banter, though the promo framing gets in the way.

It works best as dating advice with a confessional streak. The opening leans into coaching language, then the conversation moves into a breakup, getting back out there after eight years, a bruised ego, and the awkward turn when a date says he is into guys.
