The date’s wrapping up. The conversation flowed, there was chemistry, and then… he leans in or asks if he can kiss you. What do you do? Is kissing on the first date too much, or is it the perfect way to see if there’s a spark?

In this episode, we’re talking all about the first date kiss—when to go for it, when to hold off, how to handle it if he asks, and how to trust your instincts without overthinking it.

Nobody is perfect—even the guy you really like is bound to have something that drives you crazy. Maybe he chews gum like a cow, is constantly late, or wears way too much cologne. The question is: Can you live with it, or is it something that needs to be addressed?

In this episode, we’re breaking down how to handle annoying habits in a relationship—when to let things go, when to speak up, and how to bring it up without causing unnecessary tension. Because the little things can add up, but they don’t have to be dealbreakers.

Dating can be exciting, nerve-wracking, and, let’s be honest, a little awkward if the conversation doesn’t flow. So what do you talk about to keep things engaging, fun, and effortless? You want to leave the date feeling like you got to know each other—not like you were interviewing for a job or sitting through a therapy session. In this episode, we’re breaking down the best conversation topics for a date—what to bring up, what to avoid, and how to make sure you both leave wanting more. Whether you’re new to dating or just need a refresher, we’ve got you covered.
