EPISODE 62: Dating Advice: Stop Giving People Chances When Your Intuition's Off

Our monthly community episode is here!

In this episode of The Date with Confidence Podcast, I answer the following questions:

• Is it just me who finds it sexual when someone touches inside my belly button?
• Would you be the one to initiate the conversation of going from dating to exclusive?
• How would you ask someone out without literally saying 'do you want to go out with me'?
• I’ve been seeing someone and my intuition is telling me something is off. I don’t know if I’m just being anxious and overthinking things. Should I give him a chance?

From deciphering whether anxiety is clouding judgement to trusting your gut feelings, I share my personal philosophy and experiences to help you date with confidence. If you’ve ever questioned whether to “give someone a chance,” this episode is a must-listen!

EPISODE 61: Redefining Love And Relationship Standards

I’ve been reflecting on the kind of love I want to call into my life in a different way recently, a way that I’ve never considered before now. It’s causing me to reevaluate my relationship standards and helping me to go even deeper with what I desire from a relationship in the future.

Here’s a brief overview:

1. Evolving Relationship Standards: Shifting my focus from chemistry to enduring qualities like loyalty and support

2. Unconditional Care in Relationships:*Inspired by my grandparents, examining the beauty of caregiving within love

3. Desire for a Resilient Partnership: Seeking a partner who is committed through both joyous and challenging moments

4. Reflecting on Singlehood and Self-Knowledge: Embracing singlehood to gain clarity on relationship desires

5. Intentional Love: Moving from attraction-driven dating to a more values-centred approach

EPISODE 60: The Truth: You're Actually Obsessed With Yourself, Not With Him

In this episode, I reflect on a transformative realisation about dating: sometimes, our obsession with a partner isn’t about them at all—it’s about how incredible *we* are.

After watching a TikTok that highlighted this, I began to look differently at my dating experiences. I now notice that the excitement and fulfilment I feel often comes from my own energy and personality, not necessarily the person I’m dating. I explore how this perspective can empower us to enjoy dating more fully and choose partners who truly match our worth.

Here's an overview of what we discussed:

1. Self-Worth in Dating: Understanding how our excitement often stems from our own confidence, not the other person

2. Avoiding Obsessive Attachment: Recognising when attachment is based on personal feelings, not the partner’s qualities

3. Reflecting on Personal Value: Learning to appreciate how much we contribute to enjoyable dates and moments

4. Empowered Dating Choices: Using self-awareness to avoid settling for partners who don’t truly align with our needs

Join me in this episode for a fresh look at dating through the lens of self-worth, and feel free to share if this resonates with your own experiences!
