About this listen
In this episode, Shan and CoCo kick things off with personal life updates. Shan is officially settled into her new home, and the girls catch listeners up on whether they've really stuck to staying off the dating apps—and what’s been happening in their love lives since. Have their been any new connections for the R.O.L. Girls?
From there, the conversation shifts to one of the big questions in modern dating: Do friendships make the best foundation for romantic relationships? Shan and CoCo unpack why being friends first might matter—or why it might not. They explore whether lovers who start as friends have an advantage, and how connection, comfort, and communication play into long-term happiness.
With personal stories, humor, and a little friendly debate, they reflect on:
-
Why friendship can change the way we date
-
Whether romance needs a platonic base to thrive
-
If friends really do make the best lovers
-
And how their own experiences shape their views
There’s laughter, honesty, and a few side tangents—as always—and much more in this episode of ROL.
