Episode Synopsis

Is “talking” a real stage in dating, or just a way to avoid commitment? In this episode, Natalie-Tasha and Libby sit down with John-Carter, Garrett, and Kasey to unpack the biggest icks in dating, what makes romance deeper than intimacy, and how our parents’ marriages shape the way we see commitment today.

They open up about trying to fit lives together that don’t work, losing yourself in relationships, and the pressure to have everything perfectly figured out before love. From friendship-first dating and unrealistic “perfect partner” checklists to whether marriage actually solves problems—or just exposes them—this is real talk on self-work, timing, and choosing a connection that lasts.
