Mich and Nadine discuss the reality checks that hit you post-breakup; finding out your ex has moved on and is with someone new; getting into a new relationship before fully getting over your ex; dating and hating it because you keep comparing everyone to your ex; the myth of "keeping busy" after a breakup; how to know when you're really over someone; "DM CPR," this week's made up dating term.

Mich and Nadine have their most candid episode yet--no, really candid, unlike everything you see on Instagram (this is so meta); "curated authenticity," our made up term of the week that nails those "So, I know I don't usually post this..." posts that--shocker--are not as real as they claim to be; Instagram-proofing your relationship; social media and external happiness; "plandids" and other posts that mess with your head; Mich and Nadine's new favorite shows, Modern Love and Couples Therapy.

Mich and Nadine discuss the best and worst breakup advice they've ever received; dissecting popular breakup quotes and memes; "emotional geology," this week's millennial dating term that they may or may not have made up; dating app advice and ideas; a roasting of one of the lamest excuses to call off a date. 

Mich and Nadine discuss the most common types of breakups--from ghosting, to the one that fizzles out on its own, to the one that comes out of left field, to the one where someone does something awful--and the best ways to get over them; the worst breakup methods (um, don't even think about doing it in public); whether or not you have to give an ex their stuff back; returning gifts and--gasp--engagement rings after a breakup; "relationship burnout," this week's millennial dating term.

Mich and Nadine challenge each other to different dating scenarios to see if they think something is a red light (a red flag/reason to dump someone), a green light (go right ahead and keep on dating them)--or maybe something in between that makes you want to pump the breaks and slow down a bit. A few examples: they swapped Instagram handles with someone at a bar; they say I love you for the first time drunk but don't bring it up again sober; they eat sushi with a fork; you find out they have a criminal past; they are five figures in debt -- and so many more! Plus, “murder-suicide ghosting,” this week’s millennial dating term. Take our polls this week at @Heartsprained on Instagram!
