Over deze aflevering

There’s certainly been a lot of progress in breaking down gender roles since the turn of the century, but still traditional expectations persist in the heteronormative dating world. Ladies, have you wondered how many texts it's acceptable to send a guy in a day, or whether using a heart emoji is too much? Gentlemen, do you feel pressure to make the first move, asking a girl out and then initiating the first kiss? If that sounds familiar, then you've most likely experienced what’s known as the romance gap.  What exactly is the romance gap? By what behaviors does this phenomenon occur? What are the consequences? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
