Welcome to our world of dating! We're Skyker and Heidi, two friends living, dating, and navigating life in Amsterdam.

Like many good friends, we regularly catch up to swap stories about our latest dates: the funny ones, the awkward ones, the exciting ones, and everything in between. Our conversations can be lighthearted, honest, or surprisingly deep. They're also exactly how we talk in real life: sometimes unstructured, unfiltered, raw, and full of side notes, but always genuine.

Through this podcast, we want to share what it's like for us to date nowadays: what we love, what frustrates us, and what we wish more people understood. We hope that by sharing our experiences and perspectives, we can make dating a little easier, kinder, and maybe even a little more successful for everyone.

So we thought, why keep these conversations to ourselves? Join us as we share our dating adventures, reflections, laughs, and lessons along the way. Thanks for listening, we're so happy you're here!

  • Raw reactions: Dating app profiles
    23 Sep 2026

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

    In this episode, we break down our raw reactions to the wild world of dating app profiles, prompts, and messaging habits. We review our common annoyances, like guys claiming they "hate small talk" or offering "paid subscriptions" for cuddle. We share real-world awkward encounters, including being blocked over a one-word reply and dealing with pushy demands for video calls. From analyzing the cringiest photo trends (toilet selfies, gym shots, and motorcycle pics) to discussing the frustration of low-effort conversations and vague relationship goals, we share a candid, humorous look at the fatigue and realities of modern online dating.

  • Avoidants in different flavors: dog park drama & lone wolves
    2 Sep 2026

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

    In this episode of Dating in Amsterdam, we break down our latest first (and second) dates and discuss what really makes a potential partner stand out beyond surface-level attraction. Heidi recounts a chaotic picnic date featuring an unruly wolf-like dog and a surprisingly passive date who left her defend the fort. Meanwhile, Skyler shares her experience with a "lone wolf" who turned out to be a bit too uninspiring to spark real chemistry. Together, we explore attachment styles, conflict resolution on dates, the frustration of low-effort communication, and some desirable traits: like curiosity, open-mindedness, and self-awareness that turn a pretty face into a real connection.

    What is a specific dating deal-breaker or green flag you'd like us to dive into in a future episode?
