Episode notes
Dating Potential
- Dating potential means hoping for a hypothetical version of someone.
- Accept partners for who they are, not who you want them to be.
Attachment Styles and Potential
- Attachment styles influence how we perceive potential in dating.
- Anxious attachers see potential as a way to secure love, while avoidants use it to maintain distance.
Fantasy Bonds
- A fantasy bond creates an illusion of connection, offering false security.
- Latching onto potential fosters this illusion, masking a lack of genuine intimacy.
