Shooting Your Shot

The content creator isnt shy about looking for a serious relationship.

Brooke Schofield thought she was going to be an actor when she moved to Los Angeles in 2019.

Instead, she ended up working at a restaurant for three years and not doing one single audition.

Podcast host Brooke Schofield has thoughts about drinking on a first date and using dating apps.

Now the duo are preparing for their second nationwide tour, which kicks off in February.

I love being single, but I have 27 years of single experience.

I dont need any more, she says.

Dont treat me badly, because I will talk about it for sure, she says.

Whats your go-to drink order on a first date?

Spicy marg, all the time, but I will say its catching up to me now.

Im 27, and I feel like the hangovers are horrible.

Do you have any rules when it comes to drinking on dates?

I am such an advocate for drinking before a first date.

I cant remember the last time I went on a date that I wasnt already a little tipsy.

And hopefully, one day, Ill grow out of that.

But right now, it works for me, so dont fix whats not broken.

My one big flex is that I can be really drunk but whoever is with me cant tell.

Is there a drink order that would give you the ick?

I dont think so.

I unfortunately do not get the ick very easily, and I almost wish I did.

Have you ever been picked up at a bar in a memorable way?

I dont like for guys to come up to me at a bar.

I love to meet people through other people.

Thats how I usually date, [and] honestly, Im a big advocate for the apps.

Right now, so many people are hating the apps.

Why do you like the idea of meeting someone on a dating app?

I love the concept of being able to do the research before having any interaction with somebody at all.

The problem with meeting somebody at a bar is I dont know anything about them.

Where did you go to college?

What is your moms name?

I dont know the things that I would know if I were able to look you up online.

My opening online depends on whats on their profile.

What is your advice to someone who is looking to approach dating in a new way this year?

Be clear with your intentions.

Its not always [about] what you want but more [about] what you dont want.

Ill find something in them that Im like OK, if I see this again, Im out.
