Relate to any of the following dating and relationship questions?
- In dating, I tend to get attached/excited about someone fast, and then really disappointed when it doesn’t work out. How do I lessen the intensity of this? (This includes if you’ve just been messaging with someone on a dating app like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OKCupid, etc. and you thought it’d go somewhere but then it didn’t)
- I brought something to a woman that I thought she’d appreciate, and she didn’t respond. Did I do something wrong?
- Should I wait to get into a relationship in order to work on my stuff? (Similar to, “How do I know when I’m ready to get into a relationship/start dating again?”)
- How do I ‘not take the bait,’ as in get reactive, when someone is baiting me (like my girlfriend or wife)?
Here, I answer all of these questions, which includes exploring what to do when you feel let down around something in sex, dating or relationships; how to know when it’s time to work on yourself and not date (take a break from dating) vs. work on yourself while in a relationship; and what to do when you’re in the middle of a fight with your partner and want to slow things down.
Learning and growing is a brave act. It’s also one of the best investments you can possibly make in your own future. I also believe that every time you grow and expand beyond your family of origin, you’re contributing to the good of the species. So good on you!
