The two-drink rule: when you're on a date and feel obligated to have two beverages minimum because any less would feel awkwardly short. It's great to be kind when dating, but often our kindness veers into toxic politeness, where we stick around on a chemistry-less (or worse, red-flag-ridden) date just to be nice. This week, we chat about how to extricate yourself from a date smoothly, plus why it's important to be a little selfish when it comes to dating. Also, a recap of our expedition to see if Outback QLD has more dating opportunities, starting with Karumba!

Special thanks to Toyota Australia for loaning us their schmick Fortuna GXL for our trip - it totally handled some chaotic terrain, and the long drives. Check it out here.

The article Mel talks about is by Emily Vernem for Mamamia, and it's worth a read.
