Looking for a Relationship with Fireworks? Think Again!

Episode Summary

Welcome to Dating without Drama! We are so excited to welcome you here and have you as part of Lisa’s community. In the first episode, Lisa talks about whether or not there should be fireworks in a relationship, and why the ones with the biggest sparks in the beginning seem to crash and burn in the shortest amount of time.
