Our First Facebook Messages + Is Having a Boyfriend Cringe?

This week’s episode is a cozy mix of nostalgia and internet commentary. Dani and Jordan kick things off with some classic life catch up, then take a trip straight back to the beginning of their story by reading their first ever Facebook messages. They’re funny, sweet, and surprisingly direct — peak early-social-media energy in the best way. Then they jump into the Vogue debate over whether having a boyfriend is suddenly “cringe.” Dani and Jordan break down where this idea even came from, why people online love turning relationships into discourse, and what the whole thing actually says about dating culture.
