292. Getting Back Into Dating? How to Start Without Losing Your Mind (Throwback)

Whether you’re newly single, coming out of a long-term relationship, or you’ve simply been out of the dating world for years, getting back into dating can feel overwhelming. The apps have changed, the dating culture has changed, and you may have changed, too. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to get back into the dating scene with less pressure, more confidence, and a whole lot more perspective. Think of this as your dating bestie’s guide to getting your feet wet again without expecting yourself to immediately find your future spouse.

Listen for:

How to know if you’re actually ready to date
Why your first goal should simply be going on a date, not finding a relationship
How to lower the stakes
Why awkward, boring, or unsuccessful dates are actually part of the process
The different ways to meet people to date
How to manage fears around rejection, inexperience, being judged, or someone changing their mind
Why you need to stop getting ahead of yourself
How journaling, setting intentions, and finding ways to feel confident can make the process feel more manageable
The biggest lessons I learned when I jumped back into dating after a six-year relationship

And I'm sharing a new dating dilemma at the end about trying to figure out whether someone wants kids before you date them.
