Learning 2 Love Podcast

By: Diara Janelle & Dee Jeff
  • Summary

  • Where two Black millennials from Chicago give their perspectives of the dating world and relationships by reflecting on their own often-wild experiences.

    Let us start by saying, we are not relationship experts. We repeat, we are NOT relationship experts. But, we’ve got something to say! We’ve been in relationships, situationships, entanglements, and all types of crazy scenarios. We’re just a homeboy and homegirl with our heterosexual male and female viewpoints talking about the crazy world of dating, airing our own dirt, and learning more about how to love in the process. That’s how we came up with the name, “Learning 2 Love.” It’s always something to talk about when it comes to love and relationships thanks to society and social media. We’re all here to learn together. This podcast is for you if:

    -You’ve also been wondering wtf is going on with the dating scene - trust us, you’re not alone
    -You want a general understanding of the male/female perspective in dating situations
    -You just want to hear us talk :)

    Again, we’re not the spokesman or woman, but we have opinions that we’re entitled to! Come vibe with us, listen to some good music, and hopefully learn something.

  • Season 2 Episode 6: Moving In Together
    Jan 5 2022
    The first episode of 2022 is here! But we’re sad that it’s the second to last episode of Season 2 :( We took a break for the holidays last week, but this week we got right back to it. We decided to tackle one of the biggest moves you can make in a relationship: moving in together. Listen as we talk through:

    -How to approach the “we should move in” conversation
    -At what point in your relationship should you have that conversation?
    -How long should you be with someone before you move in together?
    -The initial discomfort of moving in together
    -Having separate spaces…but really, having the trust to have separate spaces
    -Sleeping separately after moving in
    -How should bills be split? 50/50, 80/20, etc.
    -Whether or not you need to know how much money your partner makes
