“What are we?” The Psychology of Avoiding the Exclusivity Conversation in Modern Dating

from The Nearly Normal Podcast · host nearlynormalpodcast

The "are we exclusive" conversation is one of the most anxiety-inducing moments in modern dating — and there's a real psychological reason why. This week, licensed therapists Nina and Kate unpack why so many people stall on defining a relationship even when they genuinely want commitment. They cover relationship anxiety, people-pleasing patterns, fear of vulnerability, and the communication tools that make the DTR talk less terrifying. Whether you're newly dating or stuck in a situationship, this episode will give you the push (and the tools) you need.
