This week Michelle and Marie are joined by friend and neighbor, Emily, to discuss the importance of having standards for both yourself and your partner in dating. Do you have a list of "minimum requirements" and if so, what's on it?

Remember when things were simple; when you would just say "hey, will you be my girlfriend?" after a few dates?

Actually, you can still do just that. But for some reason, modern dating has turned into a rabbit hole of different relationship "stages" that we go through. It's a simple shift in language that apparently means a lot... and not everyone knows how to interpret.

Queue your favorite dating podcasts hosts, Michelle and Marie, to give you the scoop on what these stages are and how to navigate through them. As always, hear some of their stories from each stage... AND since *a lot of you have been asking...* Marie makes a very special announcement!

We have an extra special episode this week and are accompanied by not just one, but three guests. We're wrapping up Black History Month with some amazing friends who have been kind enough to share their stories: Meet Artis (rusticreign), Erin (erinsimone), and Dante (dante_atx).

This episode comes from a place of love and respect. Swipe 'n' the City is inclusive and not just a platform for Michelle and Marie to share our personal dating experiences. While we may all experience some similar things, there are so many things that we realize we don't understand and as Allies, we want this to be a safe place for our friends to share their stories as well.

Michelle and Marie are back this week with a special guest - so if you've been playing the drinking game and take a sip every time we mention Lazarus Brewing, you may want to put your beer down for this episode. The girls are joined by Rebekah Daniels, co-owner and head brewer/brewmaster at Lazarus Brewing Company here in Austin, Texas. But this isn't just an episode about how much the girls love Lazarus, it's also about Rebekah's Hinge success story! Listen for the whole story on how they started, Rebekah's tips for dating apps, and planning a wedding during a pandemic. (Spoiler: She was only on Hinge for about a week before matching with her now-husband!)
