Kelsey Darragh, author and comedian from E!'s Dating No Filter and Buzzfeed, gets honest about how opening up your relationship might make you and your partner happier. Damona covers headlines: why couples who keep their relationship off social media are happier and FODA (fear of dating again) is preventing people from finding love as things open up again. Damona also answers listener questions: what does your guy really mean when he says you stress him out a little bit and where to go when you're looking to date someone of a specific race.
