Summary
UNFILTERED: I’m joined by a woman from Canada who shares the story of the LDR she was in during COVID while the America/Canada border was semi-closed. We discuss meeting someone who restores your hope in dating, the added pressure that comes with texting someone for a while before meeting, keeping communication strong when you aren’t seeing each other for a while, whether or not it means something when the cadence of texting changes, how the stakes are raised when you’re traveling for dates, and the stress of not knowing when you’ll see them again next, and more.
