E213 Ask Nick - Familiarity Is Not A Prerequisite To Love
Kicking it off on this weeks episode of Ask Nick we speak to a woman who has been dating people younger than her because she doesn't like the feeling of inadequacy she gets when she dates someone older and likes the control she has with someone not so set in their ways. Next we speak to someone who's boyfriend thinks that her roommate is stepping over the boundaries of privacy in their relationship when he saw messages from another girl on his phone and told her. A 30 year age gap is our the next callers issue when it comes to the future and handling the judgment of people around them. Finally exes living together after a break up because of a financial situation are trying to find the best path forward in their new normal.

E210 Ask Nick - Anger Is Loves Neighbor With Justin Long
We have another extended version of Ask Nick for you this week as we are joined once again by the delightful, Justin Long. Will he tell one of our callers "he is just not that into you"? You will have to listen to find out so let's jump right into it. Our first caller is actively dating two people at once and thought that one would "fizzle" out but neither of them have. We then speak with someone who was dealing with the death of her father and needing the support of her boyfriend who was not showing up for her when she needed him most. Our next caller finds herself feeling constantly shamed by her boyfriend whenever things do not go according to HIS plan. A bigger dating issue comes up while chatting with someone who's original issue is that her boyfriend doesn't like it when she hangs out with her friends. Finally, a woman discovers her bi-sexuality when she realizes she has an attraction to her friend that she now is falling in love with and she is not sure how to tell her.

E207 Ask Nick - Permission Granted With Chrishell Stause
On this weeks super sized episode of Ask Nick we are joined by friend of the show Chrishell Stause. We are so happy to have Crishell back to give a female perspective to some of our callers today, and we may try to pry into the developments into her personal life as well. Our first caller is a 27 year old virgin who is fine dating and "running the bases" but is waiting for the feeling of love before she has sex for the first time. Next we speak with someone who is feeling the guilt of moving on too soon in the fear she will hurt her exes feelings. Third , we chat with a woman who's love language is gifting and her boyfriend is not understanding she needs him to show her he loves her sometimes because in the bedroom he is not reciprocating oral sex which is weighing heavily on their relationship. With our next question a woman is having a hard time losing her best friend who she had a one time sexual relationship with when her current boyfriend does not want her around their relationship. Our final caller grew up in a very emotionally abusive family and found herself dating the people she grew up surrounded by, but when she started dating a really good guy she found herself being the one toxic in the relationship.
