67. Dating Within Your Friend Group

67. Dating Within Your Friend Group

Author: LGBTQ+ Podcast by Jojo & Dayra May 29, 2023 Duration: 50:26

It's no secret that in lesbian culture we find ourselves befriending exes or maybe even getting involved with close friends! While it seems cool and convenient at first, it can be quite the MESS. Sharing a friend group with your partner can be ideal for many reasons..

For example, you understand the friendship dynamic, you share most of the same interests, you reciprocate one another's energy, and have the same ideas of what boundaries are. However, dating someone in your friend group or befriending an ex can also be weird and create instability in your shared friend group. 

We share some tips on dating someone in your friend group and tips on what to if you breakup with someone who has the same friend group as you.


Family Meeting Q&A:

1. "Can you be friends with an EX?"

2. "My girlfriend won't tell me why she stopped talking to her "bestie"."

3. "My girlfriend went out and broke my trust."



There's a particular kind of conversation that happens when you're among friends who truly get where you're coming from-raw, honest, and often hilarious. That's the space Les Chat Podcast-LGBTQ+-Lesbian Latinas creates. Hosted by Jojo and Dayra, a queer couple whose dynamic is as engaging as their insights, this podcast feels less like a formal show and more like pulling up a chair at their kitchen table. Their discussions are grounded in the specific, vibrant intersection of being both Latina and part of the LGBTQIA+ community, drawing from their own life experiences alongside those of friends and family who are either in the community or staunch allies. You'll hear them dive into the messy, beautiful, and complicated realities of relationships, sex, and dating, while also unpacking topics like labels, the reclamation of slurs, and breaking down stereotypes. It’s storytelling with a point of view, where personal anecdotes open up into broader conversations about identity and culture. Tuning into this podcast means getting a genuine, unfiltered look into a world that is often misunderstood, all delivered with the warmth and familiarity of a long-overdue chat with your favorite people.
