Episode notes
Delay Saying "I Love You" To Test It
- Question your impulse to say "I love you" quickly and check whether it's authentic or meant to make someone feel good.
- Try showing love through actions first so the words carry more weight when you do say them.
Be What You Want To Attract
- Fetishizing older partners can mask the real issue of not finding people who want the same life stage.
- Become the person who embodies the stability and values you seek rather than targeting age alone.
State Your Relationship Goals Clearly
- State your relationship goals and boundaries early: say you want long-term commitment and children if that's true.
- Use clear preferences to avoid wasting time with incompatible partners.
