Flirting with women 💞, romantic friendships 😵💫, and figuring out if it’s love or lust 🌈 with Nicole Coenen
Girlfriend MaterialShow Notes
This week Rosie is joined by Nicole Coenen, aka the internet’s favourite lesbian lumberjack 🌲 to talk about how a podcast episode three years ago turned into a real-life friendship and multiple trips around the world together 💌
They chat about the blurred lines between friendship and romance in sapphic relationships, from falling for your best friend to trying to figure out if you want to date someone or just add them to your friendship group. Nicole opens up about how fear and confusion once made her hesitant to form close friendships with women, while Rosie shares her own experience of navigating those same feelings 🌈
The two also get into flirting styles, the unspoken language between women, and why something as simple as eye contact can send you into full gay panic. They reflect on dating men vs women, the difference between loving someone and being in love, and how your idea of relationships evolves over time 💞
And of course, they dive into heartbreak, healing, and what it takes to untangle your life and choose yourself - even when it’s the harder option.
