We're so afraid of settling yet we settle for....situationships? We're chatting today about the difference of being picky and having standards – from the characteristics of the person we're dating to how they treat us. We're discussing where the fear of settling is rooted from, how our dating culture impacts our expectations (both in a good and bad way!) and why it is possible to find that one in a million partner without sacrificing yourself and needs in the process.
