Ok lets talk about what my first date taught me.. because it taught me A LOT and had me self reflecting on my old patterns massively… making me realize A LOT about myself. In every past relationship I realized I was the pursuer - (masculine role to play I may add). I reflect on my past relationships and patterns of pursuit. I discuss the importance of self-reflection, staying true to your values, and not seeking external validation. It is so freaking important to choose yourself and maintain core beliefs and worthiness in relationships. I also talk about the importance of not settling for validation and the dangers of compromising your values in relationships in order to try to be chosen or feel ‘wanted’ or like you’ve ‘won’. I have also realized how freaking important personal growth and development is in attracting a high-quality partner. For my single gals out there - I also want to encourage you to hold faith and trust in the process of finding the right partner.  Takeaways Reflect on past relationships and patterns of pursuit to gain self-awareness.
