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

Tis the season....for the grilling of what's going on in your love life. From questions about why you're still single to when we'll ever get grandchildren, the holidays can be a stressful time. But have no fear! In this week’s brunch talk, we’re discussing how to navigate these conversations in a way that puts you in control, why we need to remember our family members are probably coming from a good place with these questions anyway, and ways you can use these conversations to bring you closer instead of ruining the holiday. Got a question you need answered?

Maybe you've experienced that great date only to be confused when it didn't result in a kiss goodnight – or anything more. Are they just not that into you....or could it be something else? We’re discussing the different ways we all experience desire as we chat with Mike about being a hetero man who leans more on the submissive spectrum. We discuss the differences between responsive and spontaneous desire, how gender roles perpetuate stereotypes, and why we need to better understand our partners instead of making assumptions.
