Love in Stages: Mastering the Pre-Exclusive Dating Game

It's Complicated

In this episode, we tackle the often overwhelming task of planning dates, especially for guys in heterosexual relationships. We discuss the pressure of making a good impression and how choosing the right date can be a make-or-break moment. But don’t stress! We found a helpful list from Mostly Dating on Instagram that outlines six essential dates to plan before defining the relationship.

These dates are crucial for building a connection and assessing compatibility before making things official. From the first casual meet-up over coffee or drinks to more formal dinner dates, fun activities, learning experiences, and finally, introducing your date to your friends, we cover it all. These stages help solidify whether this person is someone you want to get exclusive with. Tune in to get the full rundown and take the guesswork out of your dating game!
