Your first WLW heartbreak? Yeah… we did everything but die.
This week, the girls are talking heartbreak: how to survive it, how long you actually need to be alone, whether you should delete your ex, why you NEED to stop comparing who moved on first and what actually helps when you’re deep in breakup hell.
Tessa shares what she’s learned from going through two very public breakups, while Shannen brings a slightly more… cutthroat approach to moving on.
We also need to settle something:
Is yearning romantic or toxic?
Can you get over someone by getting under someone else?
And should photos of your ex stay on the grid?
Most importantly: your life is not over, love is not a race and the person you were meant to be with hasn’t passed you by.
Bounce back game strong, babies.

JAIL OR BAIL? We Judge Your Lesbian Dating Red Flags
Order in the court, bitches. Lesbian Law is officially in session.
This week, Tessa and Shannen are taking your dating dilemmas, red flags and questionable relationship behaviour to court and deciding whether you deserve jail, bail or a spot in the cell with them.
Keeping a list of everyone you've slept with? Following old hookups? Matching tattoos after two months? Your girlfriend spending hours getting “closure” with her ex? An ex still coming to family Christmas? And what about your girlfriend becoming a little too friendly with the lesbian friend you introduced her to?
The judges have opinions. Unfortunately, they're also discovering that they're guilty of quite a few of these themselves.
Some cases are straight to jail. Some get bail. Some require therapy. And some need to be handed directly over to the jury, you.
Court is in session.
Subscribe to Still Not Straight for more lesbian dating, relationships, and completely unfiltered conversations every week.

Still Not Taken: The Lesbian Blind Dating Show
Shan owes Tessa one.
After Tessa set Shan up on the blind date that led her to the love of her life, Shan is returning the favour and she’s convinced she knows exactly what Tessa needs.
No photos. No stalking Instagram beforehand. No judging a book by its cover.
Just three strangers behind a barrier, a stack of questions and Tessa choosing who she wants to take on a date based entirely on their answers.
It’s giving 80s dating show. It’s giving Love Is Blind. It’s giving… Still Not Taken.
Will Tessa find love? A date? Absolutely no one?
And does Shan actually know what Tessa needs?
Welcome to the very first Still Not Taken.
