Summary
I’m joined by a 28 year old woman from Miami, FL. We chat about how to not feel down on yourself for being the only single one in the friend group, and how to instead embrace it and use it as a time to learn from the relationships your friends are in. We discuss feeling confident going into first dates, whether or not it matters when you sleep with someone, and ways to stay positive when you’re feeling behind. Finally, we hear about how she met her now-boyfriend and how she knew they could build a healthy relationship together.
