Romance Before Apps: “Boyfriends are something you have between lovers.”

Happy Pride month from Silver Linings! For more of your favorite LGBTQ+ content, check out the Outspoken Network from iHeartPodcasts.

Are we flirting now? Is this a thing? Today, we’re talking all about Romance and Relationships…from our first crushes and early days of flirting, to dating stories, and long-term love. When we were growing up, there were no apps, no swiping right, and definitely not the same d*ck picks we see today. We found our friends and lovers the old-fashioned way: a held gaze, a feeling in the air, and the kind of connection that could only happen in person.

So in this episode, we’re looking back at the crushes that made our stomachs flip, the romances that changed our lives, the heartbreaks we survived, and the first times we dared to call someone “boyfriend.”

From awkward flirting and unforgettable kisses, to love, loss, and lessons learned the hard way, let’s just say we’ve seen some things. And whether it lasts five minutes or twenty-five years, romance always has something to teach us.
