How do you end relationships gracefully? What is a good way to stop a relationship before it gets started? How do you deal with rejection?

So what do you do with your significant other who always comes down on his/her self? You really like them but have a hard time with the self deprecating behavior.

I hear you guys talking a lot about polyamorous relationships. This aspect of the liberty community is new to me, as the majority of people I have encountered in the liberty movement have been in very Republican, Christian, male-dominated families.
 My question has two parts:

1) Since I don’t ascribe to either of the above value systems (polyamory or “traditional values”), is there a middle ground? Is is too much for me to desire a monogamous partner that doesn’t expect me to settle down and give him children?

2) If so, do these guys exist??

Quickies: are they worth it?

A relationship of mine ended 9 months ago. The way she broke up with me was essentially saying, “I think we should slow it down.” But it wasn’t slowing it down, it was completely a stop, and it was confusing. Why wouldn’t she be direct?

1. When you’re single and interested in dating (can’t think of a less inappropriate term) but not in committed or exclusive relationships, how do you sell the idea to potential dates considering that most people expect commitment from the other party? I was in such a “relationship” recently and really enjoyed spending time with the other person without the hassle of a commitment.

2. How do you ask girls on dates without being creepy?

3. You guys mention dates for Mike on the show. Is Stephanie looking for dates as well?

Kevin, Antigone, and Brigitte join us to talk about Body Image. We discover that it’s a much broader topic than we anticipated, so keep listening for episodes on tattoos and body modifications and on plastic surgery in the near future.
