Your first lesbian crush? Been there. Obsessed? Absolutely. Over it? …Eventually. In this episode, we dive deep into the sapphic red flags you should run from (👀), the ones we controversially find kinda hot (don’t judge us), and the emotional chaos of getting over your first lesbian crush. 

From the seductive mystery of a girl who lovebombs just enough to keep you hooked, to the heartbreak of someone who wants girlfriend treatment but won’t commit — we’ve seen it all. We’re unpacking the most common red flags in queer dating, like hot-and-cold texting, exes who never fully exit the chat, and intense jealousy disguised as passion. And yes, we also admit the red flags that, controversially, we still find kind of hot (hello, “healthy” possessiveness 👀).

Whether you’re spiraling over a situationship, confused by your crush’s mixed signals, or trying to heal after your first real queer heartbreak, this episode is your survival guide to lesbian relationships, emotional growth, and choosing peace over chaos (eventually).

In this episode, we dive deep into the highs and lows of long-distance relationships. We’re joined by Kelsey and Becky, a couple who fell in love 5,000 miles apart after matching on Hinge — and yes, there was a ghosting plot twist 👀

From navigating a transatlantic relationship (UK to LA) to their first in-person meeting, we unpack how they’re making long-distance love work. We talk conflict resolution, healthy communication in long-distance relationships, building trust across time zones, and the realities no one warns you about.

Whether you're in a long-distance relationship, thinking about starting one, or just love a good modern-day love story, this episode is full of honest insights, relationship advice, and a real look at what it takes to stay connected when you're worlds apart.

In this episode, we’re joined by Moe Ari Brown (they / him) —Hinge’s Love & Connection Expert and a licensed therapist—to dive deep into the complexities of queer dating in 2025.

We talk about everything from label fatigue to performance pressure on dating apps, and what Hinge has learned about how LGBTQ+ people swipe, flirt, and connect differently than straight users.

Moe shares insights on:

• How queer users are moving away from traditional identity labels
• What it means to perform queerness on apps, often without realising it
• Why the pressure to be “dateable” can lead to self-erasure
• What underrated green flags to look for in queer dating
• How non-binary and gender-expansive users navigate a still-binary app culture

We also ask Moe for practical advice on building a more authentic dating profile, understanding identity ambiguity, and flirting past stereotypes like “soft masc” and “femme top.”
