Is it embarrassing to have a boyfriend? Is it an automatic red flag if you're posting your partner on social media? Keshia Rice takes a deep dive into the viral debate sparked by Shante Joseph's Vogue article about "soft launching" relationships and why some women are afraid to publicly show their boyfriends. Whether you're dating for fun or dating for marriage, this episode helps you set your standards, prioritize your peace, and choose relationships aligned with your values.

💡 In This Episode:

Why soft-launching relationships is a thing—and why it might not be the best choice

The difference between dating for fun vs dating for commitment

How to know if you're settling (and why you shouldn't)

The importance of boundaries and having standards in the dating world

What "embarrassing" really means when it comes to relationships

How to handle the pressure of social media opinions

🚫 Red Flag Reminder: Don't be afraid of ending things with a man who isn't showing up as your "purpose partner." If he's not ready to commit to you, it's time to move on—no shame in that game.
