Reflecting on Dates: The Post-Date Eight

Reflecting on a date involves actively asking specific questions rather than relying on a checklist based on superficial traits. The 'post-date eight' exercise is designed to help evaluate a date effectively by focusing on aspects like how one felt in their body, curiosity evoked, and the side of oneself brought out by the other person. By considering whether the person energized or de-energized them, individuals can identify if the date was positive or negative. This exercise assists in determining if the person aligns with being a 'penthouse' or 'basement' individual in one's life, emphasizing the importance of feeling inspired and uplifted in a romantic relationship. The Post-Date Eight is a thoughtful approach to evaluating dates, concentrating on significant aspects rather than traditional checkboxes like job status or shared hobbies.
