Summary

In this episode, I virtually sit down with fellow podcaster Chinae Alexander! We discuss meeting her boyfriend on tinder, why opposites are good in dating, where you should be 1.5 years in, how often you should have sex with your SO, her experience getting COVID19, wanting something serious but not wanting to push someone away, when to tell someone what you're looking for, and more. This episode starts with a solo where I discuss post hookup anxiety, deleting dating apps, running out of things to talk about in therapy, when to discuss family drama, dating with a chronic illness, and running into an ex.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:06.5	Hey guys, welcome back to We Man It Ack Me. So I'm speaking to you from election day. So that's
0:14.5	Tuesday, November 3rd. I have no idea where the world will be on Sunday, November 8th, as you
0:22.9	hopefully listened to this episode or Monday or Tuesday whenever you're listening. But all I can
0:28.1	say is that there's a heaviness in the air today. Mercury just went retrograde, which is a
0:34.7	positive thing. And I guess we'll see. I mean, we might not even have an answer by Sunday. But

1:45.2	bad about yourself or just having any or all types of anxiety post hook up. It's a very, very
1:54.0	normal thing that everybody goes through and everybody deals with. So first and foremost, I just
2:00.2	want to normalize that. If you are going through any form of hook up anxiety, you are not alone
2:07.2	at all. And it can be really difficult and it can be like a cycle of sorts of like, okay, I want to
