Have you ever stared at a hottie from across the room, just to let the moment slip away without grabbing their number? Did you compliment someone’s floral button-up, just to trip over your words and forget to ask for their name? Don’t worry, you‘re not alone! Queers have been awkwardly interacting with each other for decades! Join Haley and their guest Ken as they dig up some missed connections that will have you saying “oh boy!”
