Melisa and Meredith are in the hot seat to talk the reality of dating long distace -- with Melisa in Atlanta and Meredith in Austin.

Alli and Melisa discuss age gaps in romantic relationships and what factors to consider when it comes to moving forward with an age gap relationship. Also, what happens to a friend group when a couple within the group breaks up? The percieved feeling of "keeping your friendships" in tact while also losing your friend/ex all within the confines of a social group.  

Alli and Melisa discuss questions you should ask yourself about your relationship... 

1. If someone said, "You're just like your partner," would that feel like a compliment?
2. Are you truly fulfilled by this relationship or just less lonely? 
3. Can you unapologetically be yourself? 
4. Are you in love with who they are right now? Or the potential of who they could eventually become? 
5. Would you choose a relationship like this for your child as an adult?
