180. Dating A Friend Without "Ruining It" & Friendship Advice w/ Anna Goldfarb

Ever fallen for a friend? Struggled to balance dating and maintaining your closest connections? In this episode of Dating Intentionally, I’m joined by friendship expert and journalist Anna Goldfarb, author of Modern Friendship, to talk about the emotional intelligence it takes to navigate friendship, dating, and everything in between. We explore the blurred lines between platonic and romantic relationships, how to communicate when feelings for a friend grow, and why the quality of your friendships directly impacts your success in dating. Whether you’re craving deeper connection, feeling burned by fading friendships, or wondering if not having close friends is a red flag, this conversation is for you. At the end, we get into an email from a listener who feels resentful toward her friends' indifference about world issues.
