Episode 33: How Googling when to text back or polling our friends around whether or not we should entertain a second date is doing more harm than good.
2022 has been a year of growth for me, and a massive (consistently uncomfortable) one at that. One of the things that's coming up big for me is how I've put my direction, my next steps, my knowing, in the hands of other people. How I positioned myself as "not knowing," what to do when it came to my business, my life, and so much more. This happens consistently in the space of dating. We peg ourselves as "not knowing," or search outside ourselves for the answer to something that we either already know or are avoiding knowing. Like most things of this kind, it's a defense mechanism—a way we hope to circumvent hurt and pain, though it never works out that way.
This episode will resonate if:
You tend to poll friends (and anyone who will listen) about what to do in your dating life
You tend to Google scenarios versus consider your own opinion
The red flags are always so obvious to you on the other side — and tend to be the same ones you ignore
You have a narrative like "I don't know what I'm doing," or "I don't know how to meet someone," or "I don't know how to date."
