Summary
Welcome back to another episode of Stay True Podcast! Grant and Madi are back for part 2 of last week's episode, answering the questions guys are often thinking… but rarely saying out loud. From dating "icks" and first-date letdowns to breakups, boundaries, and relationships, Grant gives an honest look into how guys actually think and process emotions. They discuss how men handle breakups, how to tell if someone is interested or just being kind, what makes a woman feel safe in a relationship, and how to navigate exes with wisdom rather than emotion. The conversation also gets deeper… covering what it really means to be equally yoked, when and how to share your past, the nerves and honor of asking a father for his daughter's hand in marriage, and how to keep praying without losing hope.
Always remember to stay you and stay true.
Questions/topics discussed and answered:
• What gives a guy the "ick"?
• How to let someone down kindly after a first date
• How guys actually process breakups
• What being equally yoked really means
• When and how to share your past
• How to tell if a girl is interested or just being nice
