S11E11: Politics Aside: A Blind Date Experiment
Can you date someone with opposing political views? We set up Tom and Kiki to check-in through various points of their virtual blind date about how they're feeling from when politics are off the table to when they're open to debate. We discuss when politics should come into the discussion on a first date, how they play into our values for a long-term relationship, and how we can start to break through this divide a bit more...romantic or not.NOTE: for anyone triggered by this topic, our guests are not extremists in any way....just two people who see the world a bit differently. Without giving away too much, they were able to have an open discussion in a peaceful way. We learned a lot and hope you can too.Follow us @dateablepodcast.
