We heated things a bit at the April Meetup! TMS founders Lili Stiefel and Ariel Bastida hopped right into the spring season by hosting an open discussion on the impact of mixed identities on dating, relationships, and love. Lili and Ariel gave the floor to community members and discussed three significant components of romance: courtship, partnership, and settling down/moving on. Topics of the night included dating apps (pre and post-pandemic), dating expectations, feeling seen by your partner, gender norms, and the concept of “the one.”
Before the meetup, we asked our community:
- What happens when you are mixed and enter into relationships?
- What do you experience?
- How are your experiences similar to or different from others?
