Dating in Berlin: the podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Can you write a description. 

Today we try to help Gigi overcome some challenges with her new, and much younger maybe-boyfriend. 

We discuss masculine and feminine energy and why it is unhelpful to try and have both those energies running at the same time, or why you cannot both control a situation and also be receptive to the plans of that special other person. 

Why is it important to dump someone you don't want to see anymore, but how do you do that in a way that doesn't destroy you and the person you are dumping? If you do not like ghosts. Do not be a ghoster. Be the change you want to see in this ghosting world.

We also list off the all the red flags there are for texting. Just kidding! It is much more complicated than that. 

Amy is harassed by a long-dead ghost. One caller asks "How do I choose between having a shitty boyfriend or being single forever?" 

We have all been there, especially in Berlin. 

Have you ever been dumped in the most Berlin-way possible? The asker of our first question definitely has.

In this mini-teaser episode Catherine and Amy will introduce themselves and answer one brutal question.

For season 2 we will bring in more guests and guest experts. We already answered every dating question ;)

To kick off season 2: We aren't experts and you deserve expert answers to all of your questions related to sexual assault. There were a lot of them, sadly. Shifra Rabinowitz shared her knowledge with us and gave us a ton of resources! If you need/want more help from her, please contact her:

TLDR: Amy will not feel like she owes you sex, even if you cook her a great fish.

"Men in Berlin are very lazy or horizontal", Mimi from London is visiting the podcast!

She talks about her journey of dating in London, before, during and after Covid, including finding the difference between what you think you want and what you really want. She talks about figuring out what she really wants now. Spoiler: It is not finance bros in suits.

She also discusses how dating apps are not the real world: "I have the administration down now. I think I was too polite and too reserved in some of these conversations."

Listen and learn!

We are coming to you from the pits of hell this week. Recording after we just took cold showers and in our underwear.

Even if you figure out if it is a friendship or a romantic relationship, you are still going to have to have more questions to answer.  You have to have another hard conversation, as always, again. You can only win!

Also, how to open relationships: 

Step 1: Read this book -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ethical_Slut

Stay cool out there Berlin!

Catherine is inspired by a lot of positive stories of happy relationships on Facebook and Amy tells a bunch of cute stories. 

Is the person you are dating showing green flags? Like they may not be a bad person, but are they just "there"?

Also, dating is like choosing a dope bike. But choosing your dream bike is even more pressure, because you can't dump a bike.
