Unpacking Love

Hilda, Chichie and I share our thoughts about a controversial topic (in some circles) - dating younger men! It's controversial and that's why we are going there in this episode, lol! We talk about pros, cons, expectations, biases, society, family and we end the episode with advice for a woman who is thinking about dating a younger man.

Ethan, Tanya and I talk about women & men shooting their shots in this spicy episode. If you wanna be startin' somethin' (yes, that's a Michael Jackson reference), one person needs to say something! In this episode, we tackle questions like: "Who should make the first move?", "What does one party not making a move OR making a move communicate to the other?", "Why do some women not approach men to tell them they like them?", "Why do some men not approach women to tell them they like them?", "Do the same rules apply when it comes to making relationships official?". We end the episode with some tips for those who wanna do the approaching.

Hannah, Lynnette and I talk Online Dating - what we love about it, what we don't love about it, which apps to use for what, how to screen dates before meeting up with them and safety precautions. One of us even drops a "how to walk away from a date that's not going well" tip. 9 apps dropped in here but we know that there are plenty of fish out there, even when it comes to dating apps (.......yes, that was a pun! lol).   I'd love to connect with you on instagram @unpackinglove.

TT 2: This Tuesday the tea is hot. I won't even spoil. From Polls to Exes to a Q&A session. The whole 9 yards. 

George, Carol and I increase the heat in the kitchen as we talk about the Dating Stage. Questions like: "How many people can we handle dating at a time?", "Who should be paying for these dates?", "What happens if Ronaldo, our favorite player, won't commit?", "What are our physical boundaries in this stage?", "If she orders food for that date and for tomorrow, should he still pay?". If you're curious about the difference between talking and dating, rights, expectations and boundaries of the dating stage, we got you!
