So you've met someone wonderful and you want the world to know....so when is the right time to introduce them to your friends? And what happens when they've met your crew but you've yet to meet any of their pals? Add in family to the mix and we got a whole discussion to unpack in this week's brunch talk.

Join us as we chat with Dr. Anna Machin about why we love and the science behind our closest relationships.

The age old debate: who should pay on a first date? It's the battle of the modern and the traditional when it comes to modern dating etiquette in the initial stages of dating and what a "date" even means in today's world. During this week's brunch talk, we debate whether the man (in hetero relationships) should still pick up the bill, why we need to stop with the fake reach, and how to plan dates where the expectations are more clear upfront.Got a question you need answered?

Whether you had to think for awhile or you can recall your last time like that, we're chatting with She Comes First author and sex therapist Ian Kerner about the pleasures of sex and how sex can help us bring us closer to our partners (and in light of everything going on, we all need that reminder more than ever!). We discuss the importance of being 'cliterate' and not just putting the emphasis on intercourse, how you can start to explore in the bedroom in a way that doesn't seem as intimidating, and the important sex trends you need to know that are happening right now.TW: In the intro we also talk about abortion rights and the overturning of Roe v. WadeLearn more about Ian Kerner: https://www.iankerner.com/ and check out his latest book 'So Tell Me About the Last Time You Had Sex'Follow us @dateablepodcast.

We've been told from an early age, there's 'The One' – that person who is our best friend, our soulmate, the person we belong with. But is that even realistic? And how do we know if we are making the right choice? It can be tricky especially if we have had little relationship experience to benchmark it against. Join us for this week's brunch talk as we discuss if 'The One' even exists, signs you are with the right person, and how to distinguish between fear and if this person is actually a good fit for you or notGot a question you need answered?

With everything that's been going on overturning roe v wade, we wanted to do a special episode where we talked to three different women (Janis, Mikala, and Priya) about their own experience with the decision to have an abortion (or not). We discuss how you don't ever know what you'll do until you're in the situation, the importance of choice, and why this decision has many layers and complexities that simply doesn't belong in our government's hands.Follow us @dateablepodcast.
