Don't lie... we know you've looked up whether or not you and your crush are ~c o m p a t i b l e~  on astrology.com. We're not judging you, in fact, we're diving right in with you. On this week's episode we're going head first into zodiac signs, what they mean, and what they mean in the world of dating. Will you take them into consideration after this episode? Let us know! We also reach into our memory boxes and reflect on our first boyfriends vs. our last/current and talk about whether or not first date locations matter! No timestamps for today since we basically talk about astrology for the entire episode, but if you're desperate, astrology talk starts at 18:10 and ends at 39:55!

How to move on and the importance of closure

Welcome back to Left on Read! Do you think jealousy is flattering or a red flag? This week, we weigh in on the fine line between what the appropriate amount of jealousy is and when it's reason for concern.  This week we asked you on our Instagram (@leftonreadpod) if you believed there should be a spark in the beginning of your relationship or if you need to give it time, we talk about the verdict and what we believe to be the truth. Is it possible your "spark" might not be as exciting as the movies make it sound?  Next, we get into discussing our flaws in relationships. Are there things you've said you won't carry into your next relationship, but realize they might just be who you are? We've got a few, what are yours? Of course, we couldn't enter summer without talking about WEDDING SZN! We touch on some proper etiquette for weddings which could be helpful for the likely 2000 weddings you'll be attending in the next four months.  Don't forget to follow us on social media and share with your friends!  Instagram + Twitter: @leftonreadpod Anya's Twitter + Instagram: @anyanazeravich Nicole's Twitter: @nicbufflin Nicole's Instagram: @thebarbtarbox 

Do you believe in "the spark"?

How many dates is too many dates? This week we explore an article speaking about the notion of overwhelming yourself with too many dates. Is overdating overrated? As per usual, we go off the rails talking about the perfect "first date", the ungodly bios people have on Tinder, and how we feel about people who love to "camp".

Should you ever re-follow an ex on social media?

Did you miss us? We missed us too. Anya and Nicole finally finished school for the semester, hooray! For a little short episode this week, we explore the ancient topic of chivalry. Do you fiddle with your keys after the first date, waiting for that kiss? Do you demand your partner sends you flowers, or walks on the street-side of the sidewalk to protect you? Listen to our hot takes on these chivalrous “rules” and so much else as Anya prepares to start dating again. No, you read that right…Anya. Is. Back.  Follow us on Instagram and Twitter @Leftonreadpod

Is Chivalry Dead?

Say whaaat? We have our pal Jon Wade (who Anya fancies calling John Wayne) on this week to talk dating apps, PDA, and deleting Instagram pictures after a break-up. He has a podcast too! It's called "Cadence" and if you like music, give it a listen. We talk about our meme of the week which you can find on our Instagram @LeftonReadpod What do you think of deleting all evidence of your S.O. off social media after a break-up? Tweet us! @LeftonReadpod

John Wayne uses Bumble

Do you fart in front of your SO? How about going #2? We chat about how comfortable is ~too~ comfortable and if you should ever break that barrier in the first place. We also got in our FIRST FIGHT on this episode, arguing over whether or not the opposite gender "best friend" of your SO should be a reason for concern, or just a friend. As always there's a meme of the week and weird dating story to keep you laughing as we trail off topic every ten minutes.  Congratulations to our contest winner Brittany Hunt! Thanks to all who entered our contest, Brittany is the winner of a $20 Visa gift card!  

How comfortable is too comfortable?

WE'RE ON INSTAGRAM! Follow us @leftonreadpod for all the visual shit you can't see in a podcast like Meme of the Week, behind the scenes, and photos of us, because we're conceited.  Remember Cosmopolitan magazine? Did you take the horrible advice? We're going through a bunch of horrible dating articles from the magazine and telling you whether or not it's good advice! Nicole found some missed connections in Winnipeg that will make your toes curl (in a bad way), and we even created our own.  Hey, we're thinking about making a Youtube channel, would you watch?

Are you in a rebound relationship?

*Content warning* Mental health and relationships are hard to navigate sometimes. After a conversation over wine with a friend about mental health and how our partners support us, we took to Instagram to ask people how they approached the conversation with their S.O.  When do we talk about mental illness with someone we're dating? We aren't totally sure, but we want to start the conversation and contribute to ending the stigma surrounding mental health. We tread lightly in this episode with respect to those who shared their stories with us and want to stress that we do NOT give advice in this episode. We share our own stories and what we would do surrounding our own mental health, discuss some research, and share the brave responses people sent us about how they dealt with it to show you, you aren't alone.  We hope you enjoy this bonus episode, we'll see you next Tuesday.  Article discussed: https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/between-the-sheets/201903/why-authenticity-is-the-best-dating-strategy Twitter: @LeftOnReadPod Instagram: @LeftOnReadPod Anya's Instagram and Twitter: @anyanazeravich Nicole's Instagram: @thebarbtarbox Nicole's Twitter: @nicbufflin

Bonus episode: Love and Mental Health

Would you date someone with no experience.....at all? Listen to Anya and Nicole's hot takes on the matter, along with Anya finally addressing her "grandma" brand. Our meme of the week centers around getting grumpy when you miss your S.O. and Anya reveals she got a date out of our first episode. Follow us on Twitter and NEW! Instagram @Leftonreadpod
