Anyone else catch Tay in TD's Insta picture at her parents home in PA?

 
I did. Things like this make me think they are together. I would never bring just a friend of a year or so on vacay to hang with my family out of state.

Is there a time frame to meet before your best buddy can "come over and play" at your parents' house?
Or is it more about criteria laid out in the archaic women-of-a-certain-age handbook?
Help me understand, please.

Did you miss the biggest clue??????? Check ig from The streks house. Of T  n T on the water.  Look at the comments.

 
I must be missing something? I don't see any major clues from that pic?

Not for nothing, but this whole thread does not sit well with me.  I love this site and enjoy the idle gossip and mild snarkiness, but do we need to continue with this particular topic?  Whether T and T are friends, in a relationship, experimenting, whatever is really none of our business.  And no, it's not like being interested in her other relationships, this one is intentionally being kept private.  

There are many reasons why people don't come out and as we're seeing today, there can be dire and potentially harmful results to those brave enough to do so.  Outing people, before they're ready, is really not cool.  

That's my opinion - I will continue to enjoy reading about everyone's opinions on T's fashion, "team", workspace, motivation, etc. but will not visit this thread anymore.  I just felt the need to share my opinion, because I would never want my silence to equal consent on a topic that I'm really bothered by. 

Thanks for reading.  Carry on...

 

I hear you.  I'm never looking to "out" someone, but what are they keeping "secret"?  I know T doesn't talk much on air about it, but they are pretty regular together on IG postings.  Whatever is happening, Taylor is private, but I don't get the feeling she's upset with the talk about it.

Yeah, we are so not outing her.  We are gossiping about her relationships which is how this whole board got started!  I imagine the more private she is, the more we will speculate! lol 
If she suddenly starting posting pics of her and a man together, we'd be right there too!

I completely agree. And honestly I'm bored with Taylor not opening up at ALL about her personal life anymore. That was what drew me into the show 6 years ago. I loved hearing her honesty about her relationship. I know Taylor doesn't owe any of us anything,but for the first time ever I can honestly say I'm really just bored of the show.

Yeah come on Tay Tay tell us some good stories about dateing. Cause I know you have some!

I was hesitant to post on this thread so I will start by saying this is simply my opinion.

Taylor is a public personality. She wants to tap into even more of the entertainment world and has said herself that she'd like to get into the Reality side of that world. Well, that means sharing yourself with your fans.

Even as simply a morning radio show host, if you've established for the last 10 years that you are wide open with your listeners and then shut that down, you are no longer delivering what your fans want. Taylor wants to capitalize off of listeners (i.e. keeping show popular & on air; selling spots in Carin Rockind events; blog readers clicking on advertiser links; etc) yet she does not want to deliver fresh content.

Having vendors on in order for her to get deals is off putting and stale. Fans miss what the show was. Fans miss her sharing and giving them a glimpse of her life in NYC.

That leads to this thread. Before Brett, she shared. During Brett she shared. Fans just want to hear. She says she is dating. She has never said if she is dating one person or multiple. Share dating stories! This thread is speculating because she won't.

If Taylor had the same guy show up repeatedly in Instagram shots with no explanation, there would be a thread speculating about that person. There is no outing happening. There is no judgement happening. Posts stating there is are calling much more attention to that issue than the gossipy posts that just want to hear about her post-divorce dating experiences.

Totally agree Bethos.  We are just interested in her life, whatever she is doing!  We are fans and want to know more about her.

I agree. And this may sound corny but in the old days, I felt like Taylor was almost like a friend. Now she just seems so distant, like she doesn't want to share anything. And is it me or is the show more serious now? I loved wake up for the escape it gave me. Now it's all feminism this and serious shit that.

I still say I'd rather have the show and am glad for all the callers that call in and say "love your show."  on the dating issue (I've been listening since around the time T and B were decorating their apartment; window treatments come to mind), I remember her saying at least on one occasion that she won't share as much in the future like she did in the past.  if T and T are an item, maybe the pix ARE her/their way of coming  out.

Well said.

Personally I think it would make her more popular. Someone on the show said being a lesbian is in and I agree. It would make Taylor more interesting if she was dating anyone even. I don't understand why she doesn't capitalize on this. Dating stories to draw in the 20 somethings (bi, gay or straight) would be fun and entertaining.

u r absolutely right; it would draw in a huge segment.  but check this out...  The marriage/divorce train hasn't totally cleared the station.  Tay is still in the process of getting the old stuff out of her system (i.e.,recently breaking down at a recent wedding/shower??? I can't remember which).  would you chow down on filet mignon while in the grips of diarrhea? (I wouldn't and no, I'm not equating brett or their marriage to diarrhea) when she's ready to share any aspect of her dating, it's gonna be bigger and better aligned with the gorge woman she is.  and no matter what any of us say, when she does share we'll all be waiting with lapping tongues. now back to work, even those of you 'working' from home; right.

I think it may have been stay who said being a lesbian is in right now, I'm not 100% sure though. I think speculation about a public figures love life is normal. Most of all though, I agree with everyone saying the show is stale. Tay insists on reselling stories multiple times in a short period for some and talking about the same topics! She could have so many different options but no. I think it's natural for people to wonder why she's spending all of this tune w TD and if there's more. That's what anyone would do regardless of gender.

Isn't he married? And I think we would be seeing a lot more of Dining Under.

I do think if it's not TD, it's guy in the circle.

has anyone ever discussed possibility tay prefers having someone around as opposed to being alone.  I have a cousin like that. I offered her a one-nite trip to beach and she asked if she could bring some of the people I feel she needs to get away from.  then it dawned on me, she really doesn't like to be by herself.
