    Navigating a New Relationship: Early Challenges and Sweet Beginnings

    Send a text In this heartfelt and revealing episode of Dating With Borders, Teresa and Joe dive right into the juicy details of their early dating days, tackling the tender question: How many people were on their respective "rosters" when they first met? They explore when and why they decided to focus exclusively on one another. Joe firmly believes it’s not about how long you’ve been dating, but that “when you know, you know.” Together, they reflect on how their long-distance connection allowed their relationship to blossom uniquely. With phone calls as their mainstay in the beginning, they built a strong emotional foundation that might not have been possible if they had the ease of seeing each other regularly. They even reminisce about their very first phone call—the feelings it sparked and Teresa’s surprising realization that Joe was American, not Canadian. The couple shares invaluable advice for those in the early stages of a relationship: when something is misunderstood or feels off in a conversation, don’t let it linger. Address it immediately to keep the connection strong and open. Teresa offers a thoughtful analogy from her time as a single woman working to understand the dating world and her own desires. In a lighthearted yet tender moment, Teresa recalls her early feelings about their relationship, and Joe likens it to her nonverbal way of giving him the green light to ask for a second date.

With humor and honesty, they talk about what they were looking for on the dating scene this time around, including a refreshing focus on fun and playfulness.

The two also discuss their "vetting" processes for online dating, sharing some of the strategies they've developed to find genuine connections and avoid disappointments, including the pitfalls of catfishing. Then, they tackle the hot topic of who should pay for the first date—a conversation that brings out different perspectives but plenty of laughs.

The discussion turns to how they each size up a first date, paying close attention to how the other person interacts with waitstaff as a measure of kindness and character.
