Hot Takes: Bare Minimum

Between You and Us · Jul 2, 2026 · 44m

Welcome back to our Hot Takes series. This week, we're debating what actually counts as the bare minimum in dating—from good morning texts and airport pickups to flowers, planning dates, and carrying your bags. Some of these might sound high maintenance, but our rule is simple: if we'd happily do it for someone we care about, we don't think it's too much to ask for in return. Agree with us or not, we want to hear your hot takes too.
