Ever wonder if you are high maintenance? Or how about your date thinking you aren't doing enough? On this episode we talk about relationship maturity, being too high maintenance, and having the approval of family/friends in order to move forward with your significant other. The dating world is sticky in general, so we hope that this episode clears some of that confusion and frustration up.

We also ask that if you have a minute to please leave us a review wherever you are listening. We hope you had a happy holiday and will have the best new year ever!

Question One:

I graduate college soon and have only ever had 1 summer fling that my parents didn't even know about and have never even had a job. I'm starting to feel embarrassed about my lack of life experience in general. I've also never been asked on a proper date. What do I do when I'm asked out and I don't even have a job or other dating experience to talk to the guy about? (22, she/her) 25:20

Question Two: I was watching this week in the bachelorette where they talked about what makes someone high maintenance. The guy said it was a girl who expects her partner to do everything for her and totally shot himself in the foot for saying it. So, what do you guys think makes a person high maintenance? Is it different for males and females? Is it always a bad thing? (32:53)

Question Three:

Do/did you value your family’s opinion of your significant other? Would you break up with someone if your parents/family/friends didn’t approve? (39:30)
