Summary

What happens when someone wants to date you (or even be in a relationship!) yet there's something going in their personal lives that's preventing you from being together? In this week's #brunchtalk episode, we're discussing how to navigate this tricky situation, when it's more of an external factor keeping your relationship from progressing. We discuss the pros/cons of waiting for someone to get their sh*t together, how to reframe the situation to focus on your prioritizing your own needs, and ways to let someone go (even if it's incredibly difficult!) to find the person that's ready and able.
