Morgan Givens tells a true story about figuring out where to draw the line when it comes to dating. After the story, join host Amy Saidman to find out more about Morgan and his creative process. Be sure to listen to the very end for a surprise guest.

Morgan first told this story at Story District's Out/Spoken annual Pride show, and was later selected for Top Shelf, Story District's annual showcase of the best stories of the year. He just finished a fellowship with Transom and is working on two novels, two audio dramas, and a podcast called Tough Skin. Follow him on Twitter @optimus_mo and visit [morgangivens.com] (http://morgangivens.com/).

Morgan's recommendation to storytellers: Listen to the audiobook "An American Marriage" by Tayari Jones.
