I Don't Owe You

This week we talk about the Aziz Ansari allegations, consent, expectations on dates, sexual coercion and what this all means in the #MeToo age. This week’s reason of the week is all about why people think you "owe" them anything after a date: sex, a second date, a text (whatever it is!) and how to feel empowered to say no. We also talk about what’s new in dating news: why compliments make us so uncomfortable & why a dating app's ads were recently banned from subways. Then we answer two listener questions including: should you give money to a homeless person to impress your date and what to do when your longterm boyfriend doesn’t say I love you back.
