New Approach to Dating
Whether starting out or starting over, dating in today’s world doesn’t need to be a mysterious hit or miss activity. You CAN set yourself up for success.
Conscious Dating is the new approach to dating success
Have you chosen dating partners (or a life partner) for any of the following reasons?
- By default – going along with what showed up instead of choosing what you wanted
- By the holes in your soul – (subconsciously) driven to heal or fill childhood needs
- To make loneliness go away
- Interpreting powerful emotions as love
- Financial insecurity
- Sex
- Looking for someone to do life for you because you didn’t know how to do it on your own
- Running away from a bad relationship or family dynamic
- Inability or unwillingness to delay gratification and wait for what you really want
- Fear of being alone – especially if you’re getting older
All of those ways of partnering (and there are probably more) would be considered un-conscious dating and if taken into a committed relationship will end in disaster. So what to do instead???
Conscious dating begins with knowing yourself first
Once you know yourself you are in a position to find someone who matches you in key areas. If you don’t know who you are, you can’t find your match. That’s like looking for the match to a pair of shoes you haven’t seen yet.
