AceShowbiz - On a recent special episode of their podcast, the brothers Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce offered candid advice about dating and how to confidently ask someone out.
On Friday, February 27, the retired NFL star Jason Kelce and his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who is engaged to Taylor Swift, appeared together on a "Heights Hotline" special edition of their New Heights podcast. While both are happily spoken for, the brothers took time to answer fans’ burning questions — including how to approach asking a woman on a date.
The episode kicked off with a lighthearted discussion about modern conveniences they could live without, such as GPS, streaming services, or online ordering. Jason, mindful of his podcasting career, admitted he couldn’t give up streaming, while both agreed they preferred calling in food orders rather than using apps. Jason also confessed he couldn’t survive without GPS.
But the conversation soon turned serious when a young listener asked for advice on how to ask out the girl he likes. Travis Kelce, 36, shared thoughtful guidance grounded in respect and authenticity. Travis recommended first identifying what draws you to the person. “You like the way she looks? She likes the way she dresses? You like how funny she is? You like how kind she is?” he advised. Complimenting those qualities, he explained, can open the door and help gauge her interest.
Jason, 38, offered a more old-fashioned tip he joked came from their father, Ed Kelce. “Find her unattractive friend and you befriend her and you start making her feel like she’s interested,” he quipped. Travis quickly shot that down, calling it “sick” and “the 1950s way of dating,” urging listeners to avoid such tactics.
Instead, both brothers agreed the best approach is directness. “You just gotta do it, man. You just gotta own it... you gotta have some cojones,” Travis said emphatically. “What’s the worst she’s gonna say, ‘no?’”
Drawing from his own experience, Travis emphasized the importance of planning ahead for the date. “Have something planned... maybe have a conversation starter and then have a nice segue into maybe hanging out at the movies or the mall,” he suggested. “You gotta have a destination that’s enticing.” Jason added practical wisdom, advising not to overthink the process.
The key takeaways from their chat were to be authentic, courteous, and chivalrous. Open doors, be yourself, and see where things go naturally. Jason humorously misquoted the familiar phrase, telling his brother, “There are tons of whales in the sea,” much to Travis’ delight.
For context, Jason Kelce has been married to his wife Kylie since 2018, and the couple has four daughters. Meanwhile, after dating for two years, Travis Kelce proposed to Taylor SwiftSwift last August. The couple shared the joyful news with fans in a joint Instagram post featuring Travis down on one knee as Swift lovingly held his face, captioned, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
Fans can watch the full discussion on the "Heights Hotline" episode, with the dating advice segment beginning around the 3:30 mark.
This candid and relatable exchange between the Kelce brothers offers valuable insights for anyone navigating the sometimes intimidating world of dating. Their straightforward encouragement to be confident and genuine is a refreshing reminder that sometimes, you just have to take the leap.
