97: Commitment Phobia? (Or are They Just...

well said syd
About this episode

"Commitment." Did you cringe? We know the word alone is enough to make some f-boys run far far away. And for the partners of the commitment adverse, it ain't any easier. Syd and Soph explain what commitment phobia IS and what commitment phobia isn't. Hint: if they failed to text you back after the first date it is NOT a commitment issue.

Syd and Soph also share their opinions about attachment styles, vibrating backpacks, and 12-year old boys who dislike short kings. Enjoy nuggets!
