Ep 8: Let the Sparks Fly

Sometimes dating goes wrong... in a good way!  Now, over a year into my relationship with Erin Conley, we discuss lessons learned, how it almost didn't work, and how mistakes can still be rampant even when we know better.

In this episode I chat with Marriage & Family Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist, Alexandra Pinkus.  We discuss sex, the spark that creates those intense relationship butterflies, and may have come up with a new silly term for emotional stimulation.

Musician and artist, Taylor Ravenna, and I chat about the misconceptions of dating as a bi woman, how labels can be harmful, the difference of confidence versus arrogance, and the morality of having the ability to get what you want.

Elizabeth and I talk about pets, how all the animals she lovingly rescued have affected her life, including her dating life. We discuss the balance of navigating relationships both with humans and animals and how either can be toxic if it's the wrong partner.

Dating coach, Daliya Karnofsky, talks about dating during a pandemic, her own relationship journey, and great new ways to think about dating to be more successful.

My friends Michael and Stephanie talk about how communication and expectation works in their marriage and how that is so different from my experience in dating and especially different from most of the advice I've been given on dating.

Joining me on the show is Ally, my very first girlfriend from high school, and her wife, Katie.  We chat about the awkwardness of dating when you're still trying to figure out who you are, and how a breakdown in communication can lead to long-term self-doubt.

We continue the story of Derek and Elan.  Now that Derek is in "The Friendzone", we talk about what that friendship looks like and dive deep into the challenges of keeping a friendship healthy when romantic feelings are involved.  This is part 2 of 2.

Joining me on the show are Derek and Elan.  Derek wanted to date Elan, but she put him in "The Friendzone".  They each share their perspective and dive deep into the exact moment things changed.  This is part 1 of 2.
