Are You Dating a Bully?

/ / Red Flags / , , ,

Are you dating a bully? Bullies come in all sizes, shapes and ages and YES, you may be dating one. Some people never grow out of their learned behaviors and even scarier may develop adult bullying tendencies. How do you know? Does your partner have temper tantrums when they don’t get their way or are feeling neglected? Are they nasty to wait staff and other service people when they aren’t happy with the service?  When you get into a disagreement, do they over talk or yell at you when they are angry or unhappy? Is everything always your fault in their eyes? If your answer is yes, then you may be dating a bully and you should get out ASAP These are unhealthy relationships. Relationships are about give and take not someone always getting their way and fulfilling their own needs without regards to their partner.

How Long Should a First Date Last?

/ / Dating / ,

How long should a first date last? No more than 1-2 hours. I recommend a cocktail or two and possibly light appetizers; NEVER dinner for the first date. Why? You can’t create chemistry with a dinner table between the two of you. At a bar, you can lean in to hear each other, brush each other’s shoulders, and touch each other’s arms without feeling like you are invading the other person’s space.  It’s important to have some level of physical contact to feel chemistry. If drinks aren’t your thing, you could go for a walk, a hike, biking, to a wine or beer tasting, a festival, or another fun event. Activity dates help prevent those uncomfortable silences by inspiring conversation about the activity. How do you finesse the exit from your date?  Regardless of how well the date is going, cut it off at 2 hours or so. By not dragging the date on for hours, you keep the spark and wonderment alive.  A little mystery is sexy and fun, so leave topics for the next date! If you like the person, give them a little hug and kiss goodnight! What if you want to see your date again?  If you like each other, say it. There is no 3-day rule. That is silly and people know you are playing games if you incorporate this ridiculous practice into your dating life. After your date say, “I had a great time. Let’s do it again soon!”.  Also, guys, when you get home, text the lady, “Did you get home safely?”. Women love this! When she responds, reply, “I had so much fun getting to know you. Let’s get together again soon.” However, do not lock down plans that night. Keep the mystery alive by keeping her guessing a little. Then contact her within a day or two to plan another date.

Ghosting 101

/ / Dating Problems / , ,

Ghosting 101. Have you ever ghosted someone you’ve been dating? If you have, shame on you. If you don’t have enough kindness and character to tell someone that you don’t want to see her/him anymore, then you shouldn’t be dating. You should spend your money on therapy and work on yourself first. For those of you who have been ghosted, it is an awful experience. Why? For starters, the rejection actually activates pathways in the brain associated with physical pain. You can actually reduce the emotional pain of rejection by taking pain medication. In addition, ghosting is so difficult to experience because you’re left feeling powerless and rejected. You start to question if you meant anything to the person as well as questioning yourself and your own judgment. “How did I not see this coming?” “How can I ever trust myself again?”  To add to the awesome feeling of being ghosted, it also knocks your self-esteem and confidence down. Please read this article if you have been ghosted or have ghosted another. Letting someone down who really likes you is never easy but respect others, and yourself, enough to do the right thing. Be kind and let them down easy. For more dating advice, or to schedule your personal coaching call today, click HERE.

Disconnection from Meaningful Relationships

/ / Dating Problems / , ,

In our throw away society filled with immediate gratification and a thirst for more on all levels, have we forgotten how to be “present”, joyful, patient, and loving as well as remembering the value of “old school” style communication? Millennials are accused of this all of the time but are they really the only generation at risk of disconnection from deep, meaningful relationships and feeling fulfilled in their daily lives? Addictions to alcohol and drugs have notoriously been the downfall of relationships but social media has also become an addiction that is ruining relationships. Did we get enough “likes”? Do we have enough FB friends and followers on Instagram etc.? We check our social media ad nauseam for immediate validation and when we receive it dopamine is released keeping us addicted. These small social media feats have become a feeling of acceptance to many and can keep us disconnected from deep personal connections. Through social media and online dating, we feel “friendships” and sometimes “relationships” that aren’t real.  If you haven’t met someone in person, how can you be in a romantic relationship? Texting is a great way to get that dopamine release as well when it’s a great text but what happens when it’s not? Let’s say you texted your romantic interest, “Hi beautiful! Thinking of you! Xoxo” and used some heart emojis to add to the impact and she responds with, “Hey you!”.  Your heart sinks right?  Why? We get addicted to the interaction and expect a similar response to validate us and make us feel good. When people text, you don’t know what their current situation is so they may need to be “short” but, knowing this, we still feel slighted sometimes. What’s my point? Pick up your phone and call others to TALK to them! Meet them in person and put your phone away. If you have your phone out when meeting with others it basically implies that they aren’t worth your full attention so put your phone out of sight. There is so much value to speaking with others and hearing their voice as well as reading their body language when you meet in person….enjoy it!

Holiday Break-Ups

/ / Dating Problems / , , ,

The most high volume months for holiday break-ups are November, December and the beginning of February. Why? There is a lot of pressure from family, gift giving and overall re-evaluation of one’s relationship. A holiday breakup can be so devastating because of the time off and the unavoidable questions surrounding the breakup. Don’t ignore your feelings though. It’s important to let ourselves feel sad and go through a healing stage before we can open our hearts, feel whole and awesome again. Holidays are a difficult time for relationships to end due to past memories. Then you have your family asking what happened. There is a lot of downtime for these talks because we’re not keeping our minds occupied with work. The good news is that after you get through the holiday season, 2019 will be a much easier time for you. In the meantime, give yourself allotted time during the day to grieve and then consciously move on to happier thoughts and activities. Do things that make you feel joyful and fulfilled. Spend time with those you love and be grateful for the blessings you have in your life this holiday season. You will pass through this time quicker than you thing and put holiday break-ups behind you. Hang in there! I promise you will start feeling better after the holidays are over. XOXO
