It’s the LOVE episode of Flirtations y’all, with Shaun Galanos! The creator behind @thelovedrive and co-host of the “We Can Do Better” podcast is on the show to take us on a journey as we talk about love! Along the way, we’ll answer questions like, “what is love?” “How can we create more of it in our lives?” Whether you're dating, in a relationship, not really looking, or maybe just confused about it all, love is a universal energy that is part of all our relationships, including the one with ourselves! We’ll also share some common obstacles that hold us back from fully embracing love, and what we can do to be more open to the experience in dating and in our relationships. We’ve also got a discussion on one of the biggest questions in dating, when to say "I love you," offering tips on when and how to express this feeling! Finally, Shaun spills some of his best flirting tips, strategies to strike up a conversation, and ways to make the first move! And who should make the first move, anyway? Shaun has an answer!
