The ICK That Ended It 😭

from Barely Thriving Podcast · host barelythrivingpod

🎙️Barely Thriving Podcast | Episode 27 This week on Barely Thriving Podcast, we’re diving into the chaos of modern dating, situationships, mixed signals and the ICK that ended it all 😭 From a man saying “hehehe” mid-conversation (yes, seriously) to getting blocked by THREE different men, we unpack what it’s really like navigating dating in your 30s, where nothing is ever quite as straightforward as it should be 🚩 We also react to a Barely Thriving Hotline dilemma, where one listener sees a girl leaving the guy she’s been seeing's house… but doesn’t confront him. Is she overreacting, or is he actually taking the piss? In this episode, we talk about: situationships and the “I don’t like labels” red flag getting blocked, ghosted and mixed signals in dating why men pull away (even when they like you) the psychology of the ick and why there’s no coming back being honest about what you actually want in dating and why you can’t go to McDonald’s expecting Starbucks ☕🍟 We also ask the big question… are we the problem, or are we just choosing the wrong people? If you’ve ever been confused in dating, ignored red flags, or found yourself in a situationship you didn’t sign up for… this one’s for you.   Join the Hot Mess Committee every Wednesday! 💌 Got a story or dilemma?
