Let's Pull Back The Sheets...
Sharing a bed is one of the most intimate things you can do with another human being. Since people are conflating intercourse with intimacy why not start the courting/dating in our big ole bed.

Every week a new episode of TalkItOver podcast raises important and provocative questions that relate to different aspects of dating and relationships.

HOW TO AVOID THE MOST COMMON FIRST-DATE MISTAKES? PART 1
March 30, 2021
This episode is about a 'failure to launch': the most common biggest first-date mistakes. What is more stressful for you: the first date or a job interview? In both instances, you need to sell your personality. How to keep your authenticity and not scare away a potential new love? How to make the first date enjoyable and not stressful? How to define mistakes that are irreversible or can be forgiven? Being late, constantly checking your phone, focusing on yourself, coming too strong, lacking manners... there is no unifying recipe for a failure on the first date, but we can talk about it on our big Ole bed. Now let's pull back the sheets...

SHOULD YOU HAVE A PROBLEM IF YOUR PARTNER HAS A WANDERING EYE?
March 23, 2021
Is it normal to have a 'wandering eye'? None of us are immune to temptation. We all have our own reasons. Is it ok if someone likes to 'check out the menu without ordering? Does a wandering eye have to lead to infidelity? Is there any difference between online and in-person wandering? Is it a sign of insecurity if your partner's 'wandering eye' makes you feel upset? Can you talk it over?

HARMONY IN DIVERSITY: ARE WE TOO DIFFERENT TO MAKE IT WORK?
Feb 23, 2021
How can religious/cultural/racial differences impact your relationships? What if your family or community does not support your choice due to historical or cultural experiences and/or prejudices? Is it bigotry, close-mindedness, or just preference? Is it a typical dilemma for families, where parents are following their traditional beliefs but children don't stay within the cultural/racial boundaries? How to navigate dating life when you are struggling to find your own identity? What is worse: racial or religious prejudice?
We have a very complex topic today and 50 min is not enough to cover all the nuances, so we might need to have a part 2. Meantime, let's pull back the sheets...

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT A PARTNER WHO EARNS MORE/LESS?
Feb 16, 2021
One of the toughest struggles in the dating process is to create an open line of communication about money. What if your partner is experiencing a job loss due to the pandemic or going through a career change? Can you openly talk about it? Would you feel diminished if you are dating someone who has more money/status than you? How do you feel about a partner who earns less and cannot afford to pay for dinner? Is financial status one of your priorities in choosing a partner? What is the difference between self-worth and net worth?

WHAT IS YOUR SEX LANGUAGE?
Feb 9, 2021
We already know that there are 5 Love Languages (check the episode from Jan 26, 2021). Apparently, there are another 5 languages that define our relationship with sex and each other. How do you like to be loved? Have you ever felt like you and a partner were not speaking the same language in the bedroom? Have you ever felt misunderstood for your sex preferences or judged your partner for his/her? But wait, are there only 5 categories on what is turning us on and how we most like to receive pleasure? Aren't we all unique and sexually wired differently?
Let's pull back the sheets and talk it over. All our guests are in a great mood and ready for a hot and fun discussion in our Big Ole Bed.

WHAT ARE YOUR BIGGEST FEARS IN STARTING A NEW RELATIONSHIP?
Feb 2, 2021
Do you know what happens if you invite a writer, a comedian, a marriage therapist, a wellness coach, and a producer to the show and put them in one big ole bed? - you have an amazing episode of TalkItOver. And we are going to talk about the biggest fears in starting a new relationship.
Have you ever heard that the word FEAR is an acronym for False Evidence Appearing Real? Basically, there’s no threat or risk of a failure in the present but our mind reconstructs an illusion based on the past experiences that prevent us from doing what is good for us. So are fears of starting a new relationship real? Are they so powerful that they prevent you from love? Are you afraid to be misunderstood, hurt, or get disappointed? Do you have a habit of self-sabotage? Have you ever analyzed why you have these fears in the first place? Can a reasonable amount of fear be healthy?
Enough of the introduction, now let's pull back the sheets...

LOVE LANGUAGES: HOW TO READ THEM AND DO THEY NEED TO MATCH?
Jan 26, 2021
Love languages: can you name all five of them? What if your partner's love languages don't match yours? Can you adjust if you really care about your loved one? What to do if your partner keeps misinterpreting your needs and, for example, brings you chocolate when what you really need is a hug? Should you learn all five languages to prevent any misunderstandings? Do your love languages change through time?

IS IT A DEAL-BREAKER IF SOMEONE IS LYING ON A DATING PROFILE?
Jan 19, 2021
If you have ever created a dating account, you know that most dating sites require a short story/bio to complete your profile. But must the story also be 100% true to be effective? Can lies assist you to attract the right one? Or will it be a big turn-off when the truth is revealed? Is any lie a deal-breaker? Or can a small exaggeration get a pass? What's the fine line between deception and embellishment? A Kaspersky survey of online daters from around the world found that over half of online daters lie. Why are so many people making up stories about themselves? Are dishonest daters, first of all, lying to themselves?
This hot topic raised even more questions, but we are not looking for the right answers, we just talking it over in our big ole bed, which keeps growing. Now let's pull back the sheets...

HOW SOON IS TOO SOON TO BEGIN DATING AFTER A BREAKUP?
Jan 12, 2021
How soon is too soon to begin dating after a breakup? Is the first person you date after a breakup, the "rebound"? What are the chances that a post-breakup partner will heal the wound but also become the ONE? Do you need to have a rebound to fix a self-confidence breach? After being hurt by your ex-relationship, is it fair to use and potentially hurt someone else? We cannot control the pain caused by a breakup, but can we learn a lot from it? Would it be better to start re-building yourself from within before re-entering the dating world? All break-ups and experiences are unique, and we are not looking for the right answers, we just talking it over in our big ole bed. Now let's pull back the sheets...

CAN YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH A MARRIED MAN/WOMAN?
Jan 5, 2021
Can you have a full-on relationship with someone who is taken? What if you fell in love with a married man/woman? Is it an open relationship when all parties know what is going on? Or is it one gate play? Are you familiar with the phrase: if you have to hide it, you know it is wrong? Are you ok to be a second priority? What happens when you are married and get engaged in a side relationship? Is it possible to keep both parties satisfied? But is having an affair on a side indicates a deeper personal problem? Let's pull back the sheets and talk it over. We have amazing guests in our Big Ole Bed.

IS MARRIAGE STILL A GOAL?
Dec 8, 2020
Is marriage still seen as an essential step in a successful life? According to the Pew Research Center only about half of Americans over age 18 are married. This is down from 72% then we had 40 years ago, while divorce rates have been significantly raising especially among older Americans.
So, is Marriage still a goal? Why are men and women shying away from commitment? Is it a natural fear of rejection or being controlled? Could we see it as a positive trend? What if a delay in marriage allows young people to avoid mistakes, first learn about themselves before being responsible for another person’s life? Could it be that marriage in its traditional way is no longer the answer to the human desire for connection and belonging? Or is it still a social contract?

DO WOMEN UNDERSTAND MEN BETTER THAN MEN UNDERSTAND WOMEN OR VICE VERSA?

What are the emotional differences between males and females? Are women more complicated than men? How does this difference affect dating and relationships? What does a woman's "Fine" actually mean? What are the clues to read women's reactions? Is it even possible for men to understand women and vice versa? Is it going to remain an unsolved mystery? Or should you start by understanding yourself first?

BRINGING SOMEONE HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS…
Nov. 24, 2020
While we are fast approaching the holiday season, it comes with the pressure of meeting with the family and socializing. Imagine on top of that you are planning to invite your significant other to the family gathering for the first time? Have you discussed it with your beau? What if your celebration-styles don’t match? What if your partner doesn’t like holidays or doesn't like your family? Do you need to make a choice and spend a holiday season with your partner or your family? Ultimately, holidays are often the test for relationships — it's actually the most common time of the year for couples to break-up.

IS IT OK TO BE COURTING MORE THAN ONE PERSON?
Nov 17, 2020
Before going deep into the topic let's clarify the semantics: courting vs dating. What comes first? What term has a more serious connotation and consequences? Is it fair to your potential and yourself to be committed to monogamy from the first date? Or is dating a numbers game? At what stage of 'courting'/'dating' do two or people need to communicate their expectations and set the boundaries? Why is this conversation difficult for some? How do different attachment styles affect your dating behavior?

CAN WE DATE THROUGH POLITICAL DIFFERENCES?
Nov 10, 2020
What to do if you are dating someone who is on the opposite side of the political, cultural and/or religious spectrum? Would you date someone who didn’t share your political beliefs and voted for the "other guy"? It might have been harder to do during the current nontraditional presidency, but can we still listen to each other and cherish our shared values? Following famous JFK words: "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" - can two people live, love and serve their community together despite their different party affiliation? Can you talk it over and continue to cultivate and nurture the relationship? Does a deep-dive conversation always help?

Tit for Tat: who really does play the most games (innocent or otherwise) in courtship? According to some statistics, females give false names, males give a false relationship status. Females lie about their weight, guys lie about the height... Why do people lie when they are dating, especially dating online? Is dishonesty a part of human nature? Or is it a defense mechanism or a sign of insecurity? What lies are forgivable and what lies should raise red flags?

CAN LOVE CONQUER ALL?

Or is it another 'big fat lie' about relationships? Where does love go when life is not perfect and/or when people aren't perfect? Or does real love help to get past the bad times and give you a reason to work harder at your relationship? Can love overcome hate and change the world?

She starts her day with 30 min run before the sunrise and practicing yoga in the evening, he sleeps late and is watching the sports channel from his favorite couch. Can these individuals find happiness inside of dating/relationships? Is it important for those in a relationship to have similar lifestyle priorities and habits, especially physical activities? To make a relationship work, do both people really have to be going at the same speed in the same direction at the same time? How do lifestyle differences connect to shared values?

It is probably the best time to validate cliche phrases like: 'Love knows no boundaries or distance'... or 'When two or more people are meant for each other, no distance is too far, no time is too long', and no virus outbreak can break them apart. While dating or looking for love in the era of social distancing, what new measures should we take? Can we look at a new unfortunate reality as an opportunity to be creative in finding new ways to maintain relationships, communicate on a deeper level, learn to talk it over and become more intimate without physical contact?
We are not subject matter experts and not trying to find the right answers. We are just talking it over in our individual beds, as the Talk It Over team takes social distancing very seriously. Now let's pull back the sheets...
