Dare 2 Date

Do you know what you want in a relationship? Do you know what you want to feel or are you so used to putting everyone else's needs first?

Today I want to talk to all the nice people out there, those who are busy making everyone else happy but who don't get their needs met.

Maybe, that is ok to start with but as time goes on your resentment grows because all that you give to others doesn't come back to you.

How do you change this without being a b..tch or an ar...ole.

In this week's podcast, I give you the answer as well as a challenge.

I had to record this podcast four times to get it right. It can feel tough talking to yourself on a podcast to explain how men and women are going about meeting the opposite sex that isn't working for them.

I see wonderful men and women miss each other because of how they approach dating and talking to the opposite sex.

Men and women want the same things but miss each other because they don't understand how the opposite sex thinks and acts.

Men and women are equal but different - like chalk and cheese!

As a Dating/Relationship Coach for men and women, I get to see firsthand and it still sometimes blows me away just how different we are in how we think. 

Men and women want the same outcome - to meet someone that feels good to be around, but they go about it in a completely different way. As a result, they miss out on the very thing and person that they want.

In this week's podcast, I act as a translator so you can both understand how the opposite thinks. This is so important because it will STOP you from missing out on meeting the type of singles that will make you happy.

It will give both men and women insight into what works and there are nuggets of gold this week that will change your life - ha I know a  big call but it is true.

There is one thing that I hear EVERY - SINGLE - DAY from single people no matter how old they are. 

I hear it from 20-year-olds, 30-year-olds, 40-year-olds, 50-year-olds, 60-year-olds and 70-year-olds.  

This one thing is often a way of thinking that is keeping them single  

Can you guess what it is?  

Listen to the Podcast to find out what it is and how to change it.

Have you heard that you need to love yourself to find love? Is this fact or fiction? True or false? You might have heard about self-love, self-compassion, self-esteem, self-worth and self-compassion.

Or if you love yourself will you end up being a narcissist?

In this week's Podcast, I answer these questions and more as well as tell you the 'how'.

You hear that you need to be vulnerable, that you just need to open your heart and that you should be yourself! This is all generic, cliche advice that you will find out there that isn't useful unless you know what it means! 

You may have heard that you need to be vulnerable but what does that even mean and what is it? 

People mistake oversharing for vulnerability or they find it easy to sleep with someone but not ask what the relationship is. 

In this week's podcast, I talk about vulnerability in dating. 

I let you know what it really is and how to use it to get a 2nd date or success at speed dating.

This episode focuses on the early days of dating and how to be vulnerable to get a 2nd date or even a match at speed dating.

You didn't think it would be this hard to find someone you liked. It's left you thinking that all the good ones are taken and that there simply aren't any simples out there. I hear you and

Maybe your friends have told you that you are too fussy, too picky and you need to settle for what is available.

I don't believe that you should EVER settle as research has proven that the person you chose to be in a relationship with has the biggest impact on your life.

If you chose the right “type” of person they will support you, have your back and inspire you to be a better version of yourself. They will keep you laughing along the way, help you see what’s important, stick to your goals, keep you on track as well as not take yourself too seriously. However, when you chose the wrong 'type' of person it can grind you down until you are barely visible.

In this week's podcast, I talk about what can be holding you back from finding that person, because I can tell you that there are plenty of good singles out there and the good ones aren't all taken.

I am genuinely excited about this week's interview on the Dare2Date Podcast. I am talking to Tracey Regan,  a successful Author and Copywriter from All Things Writing. The interview is about how she found love with a wonderful conscious man over 50 on, drum roll........ Tinder!

Yes, you heard right! Tracey's couldn't be happier and is living proof that quality men can be found anywhere! Yes even on Tinder.

We talk about the what and the how of meeting her wonderful man. Interestingly, they could have missed out on meeting each other due to superficial ideas that didn't actually count or matter.

Tracey took action but timing also played a huge role in their successful love story.

Tracey's story shows that you can find true love on a dating app and that it is never too late to find the love and the relationship you have always wanted. 

Socials, Social Media (SM) is a way of being connected with friends, family and business contacts it can be amazing and you can get the best out of it. However, you can fall into the trap of comparing yourself with others and end up feeling despair.

Did you know that people spend an average of two hours per day on social media! 

That's almost a 5th of your waking day!

Yet couples only spent an average of 10 minutes a day talking to get other and then it is often about their to-do-lists or children.

Singles often spend more time on socials than with real people.

In this week's podcast, I talk about how to get the best out of socials and the traps to avoid so you can feel good about yourself and your relationships.

Should emotional consent be talked about in the same way as physical consent when dating new people? 

Often singles meet someone they like and go with the flow without saying where they want things to end up. They worry that if they push the issue, they’ll jinx it and drive the other person away. 

They go on dates and have sex without having ‘the’ conversation. It may go well for a while, then the other person ghosts or drops them because the grass might be greener with someone else they just matched with. 

A certain level of trust and respect gets broken each time and gives birth to a whole world of pain in the modern dating world. 

In this podcast, I talk about whether the answer is emotional consent.

Is it OK to approach women is one of the most common questions I am asked by men?

Men want to meet women in the real world but don't want to come across as creepy and worry about being rejected.

In this week's podcast I answer this question as well as give you some valuable tips.
