The Lo-Down: "Dating - Part 7"

by
Malinda Lo

Welcome to the last of The Lo-Down's series on lesbian dating! Sarah P. and I hope you've had a good time listening to us ramble on about our dating advice.

In this episode, we talk about that good ol' lesbian cliche, the U-Haul — and give our arguments for why you should avoid it. We also discuss when you should have that conversation about whether or not you're "exclusive," and how difficult experiences can actually make your relationship stronger.

While Sarah P. and I have no plans to shoot any more Lo-Down vlogs, that doesn't mean that you can't keep track of what we're up to. (Not in a stalker-like way, of course!) I do plan to vlog occasionally on my own website, and maybe sometime I'll rope Sarah into a guest spot or two. Thanks for watching!

    I managed to avoid the UHAUL for 2 years and then I finally gave in and we moved in together... BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE! Relationship wise we were together 2 years so I figured it was a good move but emotionally we werent and I think thats where it all went wrong. Any who I know gays and breeders that have uhauled and it's worked out well for them lol.

    Thank you so much for your dating tips! They were awesome. And they couldn't have come in a better time. And since I don't really have anyone to talk to about this or get advice from, you guys have kinda helped fill that void. I really appreciated it! Take care! And wish you all the best!

     I most defintely will pop in to see how you're doing Malinda and Sarah on site and twitter accounts. 

    I enjoyed all your episodes. I'm truly glad you gave out dating advice on here.  I know I'll take some of the wisdom with me.

    Be blessed everyday!

    Your dating tips were especially good because they came from two self-confident people.  Liking one's self is sometimes easier said than done, and hearing your clear-headed thoughts on dating kind of "cleared the air" for me.  Thanks & I hope you two will be able to get together to vlog in the future.

    The 80/20 thing would have really helped me in past relationships, I shall definately keep that one in mind!

    Thank you for this vlog min-series, it's been most helpful :)

    The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes, but don't be afraid...
