Can dating be a bit less... disappointing?
Added 2023-11-12 11:00:05 +0000 UTCRecent conversations with patrons and clients have focused a lot on the exhaustion of finding people. There will be this desire for new connections, for wanting certain role(s) to be filled in life, but also frustration about trying to make that happen.
There are very real and valid obstacles that stand in our way of connecting with new people, which I will explore a bit in this video. While we can't always change these limitations, nor control who we meet and when, there are some ways I've found to let go a bit more and struggle a bit less. I'll share a few thoughts on this today, focusing on what is within our control. Maybe it can be of service to you. 🙏

My most successful relationships in my last few years have specifically not come from dating apps directly, though two of them that I have now came from one which *did* start on a dating app but deescalated.
