the nuances of modern dating
Last summer, Yashmitha, Cole, and I dove into the messy world of modern dating. We unraveled the meaning of situationships and explored why relationship limbo has become so prevalent. We also had a fun conversation on the statement "men ain't shit." Does it allow men to get away with anything? Join the conversation by sharing your thoughts!
