Dateable AF is a podcast about all things lesbian dating—or queer dating—or women-who-date-women dating. Whatever letter you vibe with, if you're a woman who dates women, this one's for you.

Hosted by two longtime friends, this show dives into the wild, wonderful, and often WTF world of dating women—with honesty, humor, and zero shame. Expect smart takes, relatable stories, and the occasional U-Haul reference.

This episode, “Avoiding the Situationship Spiral: When It’s Time to Define Things” addresses the importance of DTR (defining the relationship) and communicating directly about what you want. We have a good laugh about terminology and we give you some must-heed advice about what to never call the person you are seeing.

Key Takeaways from this episode:

• It’s okay to be in a situationship as long as both people agree that’s what it is
• Don’t be afraid to ask for clarification about what the relationship is
• If you’re staying in something that’s unfulfilling ask yourself why: Are you scared of losing them or do you really want to keep them?
• It’s okay to walk away in order to take care of yourself. As always, be kind in walking away.A huge thanks to our sponsors and trailblazers at Shody Media LLC.
