Next Episode: 15. Marriage Story

This week on Interstates & Heartbreak, I catch up with former coworker and dating life confidante Darice Murphy, who is currently thriving in quarantine - despite moving in with her partner ONE day before shelter in place took hold. We backtrack to reflect on the dating history that led to her present day relationship, including the guesswork around platonic vs. flirtatious interactions and the role apps play in minimizing that as a queer individual, shifting from casual to intentional dating, and learning how to stop pretending to be the "cool girl." Our discussion rounds out with Darice's insights into how to set yourself up for success when co-habitating, plus a game of partner Red Flag or Dealbreaker.
