So here is the THING, he is a good friend of Kait's that she has known for years, so yall the two of them just get INTO it in this convo! They talk about things like how can guys truly pursue, how do they combat rejection if it’s happening over and over? Can men and women REALLY be friends? Is it too much for women to put themselves out there? How can they show a guy they are interested? What about emotional love tank filling? They even talk about attraction and why it’s important but also has to be balanced with other things. Kait and Jo GO ALL IN! This conversation is fun, but packed with nuggies as Jo says at the end.
