Summer states it very well during this episode, "We all have little weirdities...". Today's podcast talks about some of those weird things that we have experienced that we just can't look past in a relationship.

Toward the end though we do talk about some of the serious things that should be deal breakers.

Every time you meet someone, they create an impression of you. It only takes a few seconds for them to make an initial judgement about you. It can be very difficult to bounce back from a bad first impression.

The entire conversation is not just about what we think about certain TV shows... well, it is, but there is some great stuff that you can take away from listening to this podcast that you can apply in other areas of your life.
