than one guy at a time? Every dating expert seems to have a different opinion on this.

0:12.2

But what did Guy has really think about a woman who keeps her options open? Well I'll tell

0:17.4

you how to get the answer at the end of the show. First, let's get into today's episode.

0:22.8

Here's a question. How do you avoid being jealous about your partner's past? I don't mean

0:34.5
