I'm your host Yue Xu, former dating coach turned dating sociologists. You also hear from my co host and producer Julie Krafchick as we explored this crazy dateable world. Hey, everyone. Welcome to another episode of dateable a show all about modern dating.
We've all heard about friends benefits and the friend zone. But I don't think we've ever heard about an eight year benefit relationship before I have a friend. She hasn't been on the podcast though. But we have people the podcast. You I have a friend. For eight years. To play the long game. I have Julian Andrew here with us in the studio. Julius twenty nine years old. She's lived in San Francisco for six years originally from somewhere really far away Palo Alto and Andrews twenty eight years old has also been San Francisco for six years actually from somewhere far away Albany, New York, and they're now in a monogamous relationship with each other.
They're here to tell us about their eight years story, they met in college in Boston where they were friends, and but also started hooking up. So definitely that started eight years ago moved to San Francisco independently so not with each other and continued this off and on hooking up and.
This charades. And now they've transitioned into a serious relationship over the past year. Very interesting for all the people who are just hovering over the friend. Waiting shooter draw. What what's from the very beginning? So you guys met in college. How did the hooking up start was was there any intentions of like dating each other? So we met like very close to end of my senior year. So I would say not really tensions of dating because I was shoes you're above that.
