Summary

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Leslie Grant, host of Interstates and Heartbreak Podcast. We discuss rules for getting back together with an ex, situations in which a break can work, wanting to know what our SO's talk about with their therapists, the benefits of dating multiple people in one night, scarcity vs abundance mindset, why we stay in bad friendships, signs you're being love bombed, examples of times we were love

bombed, and more. This episode starts with a solo where I discuss dry spells with a SO, our valentine’s day plans, rules for dating someone you’re already friends with, if it’s healthy to not settle after finding a certain feeling, and a botched hair cut.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:06.5	Hey guys, welcome back to We Met an Acme. I'm really excited for this episode today.
0:10.8	Leslie was just a gem and I promise it's not just because she's a Libra.
0:16.4	She has so many wise things to say and I think you're going to really appreciate everything that we
0:22.3	talk about. It's very topical between like the scarcity versus abundance mindset, love bombing,
0:28.8	getting back together with an ex and rules around that and so much more. So I can't wait for you
0:34.9	to hear it. But before we get into it, I'm just going to answer a few free questions from the solo.
0:39.7	Somebody asked me to talk about dry spells with your significant other and how to combat those.
0:47.3	Yeah, I mean, I think that everybody goes through it at some point, whether it's like a dry
0:53.7	spell is different for everyone. I could say a dry spell is like a week and someone else might say
1:00.3	a dry spell is a month or a few months and it's very, very real and I think the way to combat it
1:08.0	is to just approach it head on, no pun intended and kind of just try to rip their clothes off or
1:16.9	try to put on something sexy or surprise them, bring some newness into the relationship,
1:23.3	maybe use something different, maybe watch some porn together. But I think the most important
1:29.2	thing is like acknowledge it. Don't let it be this elephant in the room that has control over
1:34.5	you guys. Say like, yeah, it's been a while or I feel like I miss how you feel or whatever you
1:43.3	want us actually say. But address it and then try to bring some newness into it and do what feels
1:52.6	sexy to you. I find that like dry spells happen for me when I'm not feeling good about myself and
1:59.4	I'm like avoiding the act of sex because I don't want to like face myself or maybe like we're
2:06.5	just both busy. It's like making that time for it, but it can only be done by talking about it.
2:12.0	Another thing that I wanted to talk about in a dress is we did this poll and it was like you had
2:17.0	a fling several years ago that ended because of distance. No one has ever made you feel the way
