Stephanie and James on the Beyond Dating Podcast discussed modern dating and relationships. James believes that in today's world, everyone is dating, and it's almost fringe to be in a committed relationship. He feels that people are constantly half-in, half-out because of the limitless options available. James recommends that people turn inward to really know themselves and what they do or don't like. He believes that being open and comfortable enough to express one's feelings is essential. James also discussed open relationships and believes that the main things to consider are boundaries, time, and happiness. In terms of sharing one's boundaries, James believes that there is no right or wrong way, but it's important to address them when they arise and not let them build up. Stephanie added that she usually addresses boundary issues immediately and recommends being communicative about it. In conclusion, James believes that a relationship without conflict is like a movie without an antagonist, and it's essential to have boundaries and expectations in place.
