Is dating your brother’s best friend… taboo?
How shocking!
In this week’s episode of #FirstDatesAndSoulmates, Nikki and Meg are joined by guest Mikayla Christy to talk all about the trope of best friend’s brother/brother’s best friend.
A favourite trope of Meg’s, we talk all about:
❤️ how Mikayla DID date her brother’s best friend (and Nikki’s best friend married HER brother)
❤️ the 3 “F’s” of this trope (and yes, one of them is what you’re thinking)
❤️ the STRESS of secret relationships
❤️ and why Nikki now calls this trope “bro brestie, brestie bro” 😂
