181. The Dating Playbook : 7 Lessons I Learned the Hard Way

1 : Having an abundance mindset when it comes to dating has changed my perspective. I know there are plenty of fish in the sea so if it doesn’t work out with someone, I’m okay with that.

2 : Confidence is a must. Once I was able to fully step into who I am, the most authentic version of me, I was then able to truly show up confidently. Liquor confidence doesn’t count.

3 : Express subtle interest to the person you’re attracted to. Make playful jokes, lightly compliment them and ask them deep questions when possible. Take the initiative to give hints that you are interested in them.

4 : Dating is a dance. It takes equal effort from both people and if one decides to step off the dance floor, that’s okay. We remind ourselves of the abundance mindset and that there is someone else on the dance floor waiting for us.

5 : Let rejection add fuel to the fire inside you. If someone is not interested in you, no big deal. At least you went for it and now it’s time to get back out there again.

6 : Close doors to open new ones. It’s better to move on from the person you’re dating if you know this is a short term thing and see some red flags. By doing that, we welcome something new to possibly enter into our life.

7 : Embrace the journey of dating. In the beginning some hard lessons will be learned but through those moments, it helps change the way you approach it moving forward.
