Summary
In this solo episode, I answer listener questions about ghosting, unfollowing, and taking things slow. At 15 minutes in, I open up about the constant pressure I feel to be at a certain place in my relationship and how social media leads us down a dangerous path of comparing ourselves to others, no matter what life stage we’re in. At 28 minutes I discuss the precautions you should take when considering dating a close friend. I share a past dating experience where I approached this situation in a way that I regret. I close out the episode with my thoughts on The Tinder Swindler and this week’s Bachelor episode.
