About this episode

In this episode, Carleigh discusses running into exes, micro-cheating, and answers listener questions about dating dynamics.

Welcome back! Today's episode kicks off with an update on my recent move, and then around 10 minutes in we get into results from last week's poll about micro-cheating. Next, we hear an update on a question from last week and then answer new listener questions about someone ending things with you before you even go on a date, how to manage running into an ex, how long to wait until you invite someone into your living space, and age gap relationships.
