Looking For The Middle: The Christian’s Guide to Modern Dating

Surprise!! A tricky treat from your favorite podcast hosts at Looking for the Middle! :)    

The two of us have been having a lot of conversations lately about dating, singleness, patience, giving grace, practicing what you preach, and resting in God's timing. We just wanted to share with you what's been on our hearts and hopefully encourage you too! 

Have you ever wondered if your new relationship was moving too quickly? It can be overwhelming and kind of scary... today, we're answering a great listener question about whether or not moving too fast is as much of an issue when it comes to dating as a Christian.

The holidays are almost upon us and with that comes lots of parties and lots of well meaning family and friends who sometimes don't think before asking some of the most awkward questions. Today, we're taking a comical approach to how to respond to some of the outlandish things people say!

Well, this was a fun one! haha This is such a tricky question. There are so many variables at play. But, we're giving you several good general principles to follow and questions to answer to hopefully make it just a bit less tricky.

We all need good girlfriends in our lives for so many reasons! Today we're having our tribe on the show to talk about some of those reasons... and it gets a little loud! haha We're talking about things like accountability, support, humor, distraction. All things that are needed whether you are dating or single.            

Who says being single is all bad? It's definitely not! You may struggle to find the perks off the top of your head (we sure did!), but when you stop and think about it, it's definitely not all bad :)    

Have you ever stopped to wonder what your life would like when you meet that guy who will become your husband? That is the exact question posed by Stephanie May Wilson in her new Future Husband Quiz. We've both taken the quiz and it was really insightful and helpful! So, we're talking about what we learned and really encouraging you to go take the quiz in today's episode!

This is by far the most asked question we get! It can be tough figuring out how to let a guy know you're interested without becoming the pursuer. In today's CouchCast, we went directly to the experts and asked one of our guy friends the best way to really communicate this to them. We also talk about some of our go to flirting techniques so there's that too! ;)

Ok here it is... the sex talk. You've asked and now we're answering! We are asked on a regular basis how far is too far to go with my boyfriend? What standards or boundaries should we have? What's ok and what isn't? We know there is a lot of confusion out there because there are soooo many different opinions and views on this. We try to take this question and add some clarity and encouragement to...

This was a great listener question! Definitely really made us stop and think... We're discussing ways to encourage your boyfriend and to improve both of your spiritual and personal growth as you are progressing in a relationship.

You all know we like to make lists around here. We're just list people, I guess you could say. We've talked a lot about the lists we make about what we're looking for in a future spouse, but today we're putting a different spin on it. Are there things that may be preferences for some people, but are non-negotiables for you? How do you decide what those are? That's the question we're answering in t...

This is a great listener question today! We are giving our thoughts on dating outside your denomination... does it matter? Are they all just labels anyway? What things are important and which ones aren't? We answer all of these in today's CouchCast.

Ever been on a first date and wondered if it was going well? Or, have you wondered how to make sure the guy you were with knew you were having a good time without having to outright say it? We've got you covered! We're going over 7 signs of a good first date today (and a few signs of a not so good first date thrown in for good measure)! Join us!

Oh this is a fun question to kick off CouchCast for season 3 with! We're talking about how to kindly deal with or bring up to your significant other that their constant knuckle cracking and loud gum chewing are driving you crazy!

Welcome Back to Season 3!! We're so excited to kick off another season with you guys and we're diving right in with the doozy of a question... Can Wanting Marriage Be a Bad Thing? We walk through several questions you can ask yourself to figure out if maybe you've got your priorities all out of order and how to get them whipped back into shape!  

Season 3 is almost here and we can hardly wait so we wanted to come on here and give you guys a sneak peek of what to expect this season on Looking for the Middle! :)

If there was any question as to whether or not we're both just a little nutty... there will be no doubt after this! Enjoy!! haha

As Favorite Things Month winds down and we gear up for Season 3, we thought it would be a good transition to talk about all of our favorite things on a first date. Take a listen to hear the things we don't leave the house without wearing or taking with us!

We had a request for a 'Day in the Life' episode, but we couldn't figure out how to make that interesting with just audio haha... so, we are talking about the things in our lives we can't go a day without! Close enough, right?? :)  

We're back with another CouchCast in Favorite Things Month and today, we're talking about some of our favorite brands, stores, and a few shopping tips too. 

Hey Guys! Today, we're talking about some of our favorite bloggers and instagrammers. Some serious, but mostly just the ones that make us laugh a lot. We all need a little more laughter in our lives! :)

We're doing CouchCast a little different for the month of August! Tune in to find out why... It's Favorite Things Month around here and we're talking about our favorite beauty and styling products. Everything from mascara to coffee scrubs to hair brush/straightener combos. 

Today is our 5th and final Q&A episode of the summer! Next month we'll be back to CouchCast every Friday. Today, we're talking about body image, dating in high school, and when is the right time to tell your friend they need to break up with their boyfriend?

Surprise! We've got a CouchCast for you this week! A great question that is not always fun to talk about, but it needs to be talked about... Is it ever ok to date someone who is not a Christian? That's what we're tackling today.
