NO MORE ‘BOYFRIENDS’: My Dating Epiphany That Went Viral


Listen Later

One video. Thousands of hate comments. A viral YouTube roast. And nearly 5,000 new followers in a week. 🤯


In this episode, I share the full story behind my now-viral Instagram video on why I don’t believe in traditional “boyfriend/girlfriend” relationships anymore—and why it stirred up so much controversy online.


More importantly, I set the record straight on what I actually meant and I address 8 of the most popular misconceptions of my hot take on dating.


Spoiler: I’m not telling anyone to rush into marriage. I’m not anti-commitment. I’m not sleeping with a bunch of dudes. And I’m definitely not saying I’m right and everyone else is wrong.


Here’s what you’ll hear inside:

✨ Why I believe slapping on the boyfriend/girlfriend label too soon clouds judgment 

✨How the traditional approach to dating is a waste of time and what I am doing instead 

✨ The real difference between exclusivity, engagement, and true commitment

✨ Why dating openly (responsibly) can actually build trust, security, and discernment

✨ My response to the “you just don’t want risk” critique (and why it’s actually the opposite)

✨ Clearing up the myths about loyalty, double standards, and intimacy


This episode isn’t about telling you how to date. It’s about sharing a recent epiphany that landed so hard for me that I had to put it out there. If it resonates, amazing. If not, no big deal. Different strokes for different folks.


Either way, you’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on love, commitment, and why the way we “do dating” might need a bit of a reframe.
