It finally happened! This episode I finally had my twin sister Gabby come on and talk about "The Breakup Pandemic". She has always given me great advice on my relationships & love life. During this episode she provides some interesting insight on relationships and how to stay together during these difficult times. 

One of the best things I ever had in college were some seriously a**hole friends who always to me the truth. I'm so lucky that my friends were able to teach me my selfworth. In this episode we talk about self love, self worth, and gaslighting. It is 2021 y'all and we do not have time for any toxic or negative energy! 

I would like to dedicate this episode to my wonderful mother who has taught me how to love and how to be the best partner I could possibly be. Her love language is acts of service and I learned that from her. I have also learned another love language that I describe in this episode as well. For the Q and A portion of this episode we talk about long distance relationships and the best ways to get through the distance. 

Now we are not here to talk about basketball or sports, although I do love sports!

Being benched is probably one of the most frustrating things that can happen while dating. What is being benched? If you don’t know this term it either means that you have never experienced it (consider yourself lucky) or you have been benched but you had no idea it was happening to you. In the case of the latter, maybe ignorance is bliss.

Imagine you’re on the basketball team and your coach decides to have every player on the team play during the game except you. Now imagine that you are dating a person that you are interested in but they dodge you several times, make excuses on why they can’t see you, or just flat out never respond to you unless they are ready. Now that my friends is what we call being benched.

It is totally sh*tty, but let’s be honest…we are all guilty of benching someone or being benched.

In today's episode, we dive into the concept of “My Man Who Isn’t My Man” and how this relationship can be harmful to you and your well-being. My Man Who Isn’t My Man” is that guy who is essentially like your man (or boyfriend, partner, whatever) but you are not in a committed relationship. We have all been there and have been a slave to this person. And I don’t mean a literal slave but you usually feel incredibly obligated to this person and give them the absolute world. The craziest part is that they do not give it back by any means. Because again, HE IS NOT YOUR MAN! I also talk about commitment and answer the question of "How do I get someone to commit to me?". 

So you’re a millennial and you’re looking for love…well aren’t we all!?  Welcome to Dating Millennial and I am here to talk ALL THINGS DATING AS A MILLENNIAL. That’s right! I mean ALL THINGS! No topic is off limits especially the not so glamorous parts of dating: first date horror stories, dating apps, drunken hook ups in random hotel rooms, catfishing and everything in between. We are here to keep the dating situation as real and authentic as possible. And yes, I will try to keep things somewhat PG-13 because who knows if my parents will ever stumble upon this podcast. All of us most likely have experienced similar dating experiences. You may laugh a lot on this site. You may cry. You may think what I say is “cringey” or you may relate to someone else’s experience. Or I may be totally in left field on this whole dating thing….but if there is one hope I have for this blog is that you find comfort in knowing we all struggle with love. You are definitely not alone. Dating and falling in love is hard and relationships are even harder.

I am here for support. I am here to listen. I am here to be honest and most importantly I am here in the name of love.
