Deep dives
Mistake 1: Expressing Surprise of Interest
Expressing surprise when someone shows interest can send a message that the person is of higher value. This attitude risks undermining desire as it implies the other person is getting the short end of the deal. By conveying surprise, we unintentionally diminish our own value, potentially stunting the development of desire in the early stages of dating.
Mistake 2: Conveying Fear of Hurt
Constantly expressing fear that someone may hurt us projects a victim mentality, suggesting the other person holds all the power in the relationship. This behavior creates a sense of imbalance, making the other person feel overly secure and can lead to boredom. It is essential to acknowledge mutual vulnerability in dating to maintain a healthy dynamic.
Mistake 3: Criticizing Yourself
Revealing insecurities or criticizing aspects of yourself, such as your appearance, can backfire by drawing attention to these perceived flaws. By highlighting what you dislike, you may inadvertently shape how others perceive you and influence their attraction towards you. Constantly emphasizing self-criticism can lead others to question your self-worth and desirability, affecting the overall perception of your value in their eyes.
In this episode, I share with you 3 mistakes we can fall into that have the potential to hurt desire. These 3 insights could mean the difference between piquing someone’s interest and a situation just fizzling out. Once you’re aware of them, they’re extremely easy to spot . . . so you won’t inadvertently end up “8-Miling” yourself.
