Summary

On this week’s episode, I talk to author Josh Raab about avoiding red flags, his divorce, signs you’re in a toxic relationship, why Josh thinks it’s a bad idea to sleep together early on, open relationships, and more. This episode starts off with a solo where I discuss growing up in NYC, wanting to get back with an ex, if you know they’re the one but you’re 21, if it’s harder to get a partner if you compare them to friends of your desired sex, and more!

0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:06.4	Hey guys, really excited about today's episode with Josh Rab.
0:11.4	So much wisdom that you need to know, you need to hear and then create your own opinion from it.
0:19.2	But before we get started, I hope you're having a good holiday break. If you're on holiday break,
0:24.0	if you're working, you are a fucking superstar. And I'm going to answer a few of your questions
0:29.3	before we get started. So someone asked, when is the right time to stop following your ex's family?
0:37.7	As soon as you can and get away with it, I don't think if you're broken up, I don't think anyone's
0:44.5	going to think you're a bad person for unballing. It's a it's a choice you have to make for yourself to
0:51.3	like have a clear conscious and not conscious conscience. God. And not see those people every day that
0:59.8	remind you of your ex. How many drink dates should it progress to a dinner date? Um, maybe sometimes
1:10.4	it's just one, but I would say maximum two. I think you should get to the dinner part sooner,
1:17.9	rather than later. Otherwise, it's like, what are you doing? But you know, some people,
1:22.6	some people are slow and that's okay. How do you bring up if your emotional needs aren't being met
1:27.8	in a new relationship? You really just got to sit that person down and you need to openly tell them
1:34.5	what you need because people are not mind readers, especially if it's a man. You know, they really need
1:41.7	to hear what you need so they can give you that. Is it harder to get a boyfriend if you have male
1:48.1	great male friends who you compare guys to? I wouldn't say it's harder, but you do have something
1:54.4	unrealistic because you only see like the easy chill side of guys in that way because they're your
2:00.3	friends and you don't see how they might be in a relationship, which might not be as, you know,
2:06.7	chill as how they are with you as a friend. So I would just say, like, don't think, don't compare
2:14.8	because then you're going to think that your guy friends are perfect and the people you're dating
2:19.3	aren't when in reality your guy friends would probably be just as difficult as people that you might
