Welcome to the Girl on Top Shalin X-O podcast.

I'm your host Shallin Lester, and you might know me from my YouTube channel,

where I analyze celebrity relationships and scandals for the lessons we can take into our own lives.

But here on the podcast, I answer the best questions you submitted over the past week.

Welcome back to the podcast, Shalogators. I'm so happy to have you here. This week, we're going

to talk about turning a booty call into a relationship. Is it possible? Do you confront the guy

about it? Do you, like, have a heart to heart? Do you ghost? Like, what do you do? I will tell you exactly what to do. I will tell you exactly what to say or what to text to him. I have the perfect script. We're going to break down why it works and hear from a shaligator who's going through this because I think this is one of the main things we deal with as women. How do we sort of change the trajectory of a dynamic?

Is it even possible? Yes, it is. But I'm not going to lie to you, it can be a bit of an uphill

battle. But you know, for us, impossible is nothing. But before we get started, just a little bit

of housekeeping. If you like this podcast, rating and reviewing it really does mean so much to me.

It really helps get the word out and get more shalligators around here. Also, if you want to come

to Italy with me, oh my gosh, you guys, we are going to have so much fun. We are going to Italy.

We added a second trip in early November this year. I think we have two spaces left. We had

someone who unfortunately had to cancel because she got into law school. I know, right? Like, how dare you choose, like, your entire future over this trip? Whatever. But we have some more rooms, so go ahead and click the link of the bio to sign up. It's going to be so much fun. We're going to go to Rome and Florence. I know way too much about both these places. So it's going to be so much fun, nerdy stuff. And in the meantime, if you want to talk to me one-on-one, head to my website, shalinlester.com, or click the link down below to submit a question. I get back to everybody. And some of you guys, I can get back to in just 24 hours if you pick that option, because I know sometimes you really need an answer ASAP. I got you, girl. And if you want a custom shoutout video for me, head over to cameo.com if you're in the U.S. or memo, m-e-m-o.com if you're outside the U.S. And that's a super fun little birthday shout out, a gift for a friend, any old thing like that.

All these links are down in the show notes. Go ahead and click around to your heart's desire.

This question comes from Lauren. She said, I have this guy friend and I've hooked up with him

since high school until now, but we haven't ever had sex because I'm a virgin and like I don't

want to lose my virginity just from a hookup, right?

So he recently broke up with his girlfriend and kind of implied that like I might have been

the reason. I know he has some feelings for me and likes me, but maybe just not enough. What can

I do to make our relationship change and for him to see me as more? He just broke up so the timing is bad, but I would like to date this guy at some point.

So should I stop hooking up with him and place some boundaries?
