THINGS DATING HAS TAUGHT ME

 Lessons I've Learned

The things I apparently had to learn by actually jumping into the world of dating. 

So...what are we figuring out today?

Pick a category and start wherever you need it.

💭 Wait...Do I Even Like Him?

Attraction, chemistry, connection & figuring out what I'm actually feeling.

Turns out liking someone, liking the idea of someone, and liking that they like me are not necessarily the same thing.

More lessons coming as I keep figuring this one out...

👀 Hmm...Interesting.

The little things that didn't seem like a big deal...until later.

Not everything is a giant red flag. But I'm learning I don't have to explain every little “Hmm...” away either.

📱 Can We Please Just Communicate?

Mixed signals, effort, intention & all the confusing stuff in between.

Does he like me? Was that a date? Should I text him? Why hasn't he texted me? Dating has occasionally felt like one giant interpreting exercise.

I'm sure texting alone will give me plenty to add here...

🪞 Plot Twist...Maybe It's Me.

The lessons I would occasionally prefer not to learn.

Sometimes the thing that needed adjusting wasn't the guy. It was the way I was dating. Inconvenient? Yes. Important? Also yes.

Unfortunately...I have a feeling this category isn't going anywhere.

🧠 Wait...What Am I Believing?

Mindset shifts, old beliefs & the stories I tell myself about dating.

Some of the biggest things I've had to change about dating weren't my methods. They were the things I believed about myself because of it.

The lessons I probably need to come back and reread the most.
