Falling in love quickly can feel exciting, like you’ve finally found your match.

If you tend to fall in love quickly, it’s probably affecting your ability to enter into healthy relationships.

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.  In our response lies our growth and our freedom” – Viktor Frankl

This is one of my favorite quotes, because it describes the importance of pausing when something triggers us. We don’t react – we respond. In our Western hustle culture, pausing is not encouraged, but it’s one of the most important things we can do to help us have better lives. How can we practice the power of the pause in dating and relationships?

Why do we repeat toxic patterns in dating and relationships? Why do we choose unavailable or abusive partners? The short answer is we seek what’s familiar to us. We’re drawn to people who remind us of our most unhealthy relationship with one or both of our caretakers growing up. It’s an unconscious attempt to heal our childhood wounds. Our rational mind doesn’t choose our toxic partners. That’s why it’s important to get support to rewire our brains for healthy relationships. In this episode, I share five of the most common toxic patterns and how to begin to heal so you can go on your last first date!

Dating fears can keep you from doing the one thing you need to do to find love — dating! But, dating is harder than it’s ever been. Between fake dating profiles, ghosting, rejection, fear of commitment, and the time and energy it can take to find a match, many people give up on dating. And if you’re dating after a breakup, divorce or long period of abstinence, those fears can feel even more magnified.

But, dating doesn’t have to be so scary or complicated. Dating can actually be a fun and exciting experience if we overcome the following five fears that hold us back.

You’re getting mixed signals from someone you’re dating, and you’re consumed with trying to decipher them. Stop! It’s exhausting and a waste of your time and energy to try and decode these mixed signals.

Dating shouldn’t be so hard or confusing. You shouldn’t have to worry about what the other person is thinking or how they feel about you. If there is a lack of effort or you see inconsistent behaviors, the person you’re dating is not a healthy match for you. 

I’m sharing five mixed signals in dating that are clear red flags.
