S4E8 - Unpacking the Talking Stage

The one about the talking stage and everything in between.

In this episode, we spoke about the popular but ambiguous aspect of the dating game “the talking stage”.

We brought on a familiar voice, @itss_yemi, to join us for this conversation.

Before actually diving into the meat of the topic, we kicked off the episode on an unexpected tangent, trying to figure out how women become active when they decide they are done being single. Not even sure whether we eventually figured it out (lol).

We then talked about the idea of the talking stage and what the different stages of that adventure look like.

There were a number of moments where we didn’t all see eye to eye on what it meant and how long it should last for. Maybe even too many moments like that 💀.

We also tried to answer questions like:

“How do you know when you are in the talking stage?”;

“Is it fine to talk to multiple people at once?”;

“What should come after the talking stage?”.

You’ve probably guessed right if you’re assuming that we all had different answers to some of these.

But in hindsight, it’s probably because we all interpreted the norms and terminologies around the talking stage + dating differently too.

It was full of banter and laughs, and maybe a lot more stressful for ONE of us 😅
