Dylan Landon
I’m an old soul. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York as the youngest of five children. Being that my oldest brothers no longer lived at home while I was growing up, I was exposed to the point of view of women by way of my two sisters, and mother. Dad was there too. For as long as I can remember, the way we interact has always fascinated me. I’m obsessed with finding the root cause of why we act they way we act, and feel the way we feel. I believe that understanding this as best as possible can help us achieve personal growth. After graduating The University of Arizona with a degree in Psychology and Communications, I moved into in a small NYC apartment with both of my sisters. Bravo and E! might as well have been the only channels we got. Being able to view a situation from both the male and female perspective has always played a key role in my life, and has been a blessing in both my personal relationships and in the advice I may be able to give those in need. More than likely, I’m one of the most open and honest people you’ll ever meet; this is a way of life I hope can help enhance the lives of those around me by telling the truth, even if it may be tough to hear. . .but above all else, spreading positivity.

Steve Hansen
Steve Hansen is currently a full time actor and extremely passionate about human psychology. He graduated with honors from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and shortly thereafter married his fiancé. It seemed right at the time but at twenty-two years old it wasn’t the best choice for him. Some may look at divorce as a negative thing, but for Steve it was a catapult to a new direction in life. A short while after his breakup he enrolled in acting classes and soon fell in love with human behavior. Since then he has studied many acting techniques and literature on behavioral sciences, all of which have helped him to better understand why people behave the way they do. Having lived exclusively with female roommates for the last ten years he has had the unique opportunity to see both sides of relationships at their core. Steve continues to write daily and is constantly encouraging everyone to see things from new perspectives and make better decisions in life.

Dating advice can be a risky business. However, if you grow up in the midwest (Columbus Ohio to be exact), and have parents that have been married for 57 years you can usually draw upon some fairly stable core values when evaluating relationships. I have also traveled extensively and most recently traversed the great USA co-hosting a project titled “Best Of The Road”( A joint venture between USA Today/Rand McNally ) in search of the 30 best small towns in America. Our journey took us approximately 16,000 miles in 2 months meeting, greeting and immersing ourselves into the diversity that makes up this country. I would like to think I have a pretty good pulse on the human experience and between humorous outlooks, candid opinions and a passion for romantic witty banter I hope to keep you smiling and thinking as the next co-host of The Dating Den. (Plus just a little FYI gals…I almost always side with the female viewpoint as a direct result of having the greatest Grandmothers and Mother a male could ask for.) I look forward to the chance to pontificate on romance!! All The Best in the swirling eddy of love..

Rich Finley
Rich Finley grew up in West Virginia and attended West Virginia University. In college, he suffered a broken neck in two places from a car accident. Upon healing and rehabbing, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. He’s been in films, on television and radio, and traveled the country giving comedic speeches about overcoming adversity. He’s a long time internet dater and feels he’s heard (and probably done) it all in that realm and is more than willing to share his candid insight with guys and girls about the perils of dating.

I am in the trenches so to speak with all you viewers who are dating. There is nothing better of a learning tool then experience itself and I have seen all the mistakes as well as made a ton of my own. So, let me make those for you so you don’t have to! I have done everything you could do single, including going on a national television dating show in ABC’s The Bachelorette. I also grow up with all sisters and mom so I have a good feeling on how to communicate and see things from the Women’s side, at least as best as a man can 😉 I kid, I kid. I would love to be the tour guide to your dating safari and help you find the love you deserve. Until then, wish you the best and luck be on your side. Follow him on Twitter!
