In this episode, we’ll dive into the pros and cons of social media stalking before a first date.

Dealing with a partner who comes off as too needy can be tricky. On one hand, their constant attention and affection might feel reassuring at first, but over time, it can start to feel overwhelming or even suffocating. This raises important questions about compatibility. Is their need for closeness a sign of deeper insecurity, or are they simply more emotionally expressive than you? In this episode, we’ll explore when neediness becomes a dealbreaker and when it's something you can work through together. Should you address it head-on and have that tough conversation, or is it better to step back and walk away? We’ll talk about how to handle these situations, why they happen, and how to figure out what feels right for you moving forward.
