| 0:00.0 | Today on The Girl Define Show, we are talking about boys, that's right, and single or married, |
| 0:05.6 | this conversation's actually for you because we know we had a lot of single listeners who want to |
| 0:08.8 | know, how do I be just friends with guys, or is that even possible? Like, guy friendships can be so |
| 0:14.1 | complicated, or I don't really have girlfriends because they're full of drama, so all my friends |
| 0:18.2 | are guys, and my best friends are guys, and yay! Like, what about all that? Or as a married woman, |
| 0:23.7 | you get married, and you're like, so should my friendships with guys change? How should that look? |
| 0:28.0 | It's complicated. It's kind of a hot mess, but we do have some insight. We have some personal |
| 0:33.5 | experience in this area, and we can't wait to dig into this conversation with you. Let's go! |

| 1:18.1 | to work with this guy? And I remember he and I had a conversation. I was like, okay, we are just |
| 1:22.4 | friends. And he's like, yeah, yeah, just friends. And I was like, and we're only ever going to be |
