Dateable: Your insider's look into modern dating and relationships

If you got your heart crushed – or even if the breakup was amicable – does it make sense to stay in touch with your ex? In this week’s brunch talk, we’re discussing the No Contact Rule and how it can help you move forward. We discuss how no contact doesn't have to be forever, ways to set boundaries so you're putting yourself first, and what to do instead when you inevitably want to reach out to them.Got a question you need answered?

We think our chances of love are over after that divorce or heart-wrenching breakup, but it's just the beginning. We're chatting with Laura & Heather to hear how their love stories continue only to get better – and how their views on dating, relationships, and marriage have changed drastically from all they've learned. We discuss the problems of being so tied to the relationship escalator, why your checklist doesn't matter, and how you can create a different – but better – kind of love this second time around. Follow Heather & Laura on Instagram @thirstythepodcast and check out their podcast 'Thirsty: The Podcast' wherever you get your podcasts.Follow us @dateablepodcast, @juliekrafchick and @nonplatonic.

Dating can be hard (and expensive!) when you're dating multiple people at once, never sure if that first date will amount to anything more. In this week’s brunch talk, we’re discussing balancing all the planning aspects of modern dating with putting your best foot forward for each new person you meet. We discuss the differences between first dates and meet and greets, how to do a "vibe check" without killing the vibe, and ways to plan more intentional lower-budget first dates that still wow.

From the Bachelor to Love is Blind to Indian Matchmaking, how much is reality TV is seeping into real-life dating? We're chatting with Natasha & Justine from 2 Black Girls, 1 Rose about what reality dating shows teach us (if anything) about modern dating, love, and relationships. We discuss why we're all so intrigued by reality shows in the first place, how the pick-me mentality has been perpetrated into dating culture, and ways reality TV shows have made us buy into (or out of) the fantasy of love.Follow 2 Black Girls, 1 Rose on Instagram @2BlackGirls1Rose and check out their podcast ‘2 Black Girls, 1 Rose’ wherever you get your podcastsFollow us @dateablepodcast, @juliekrafchick and @nonplatonic.
