Do you actually like them… or do you just really fucking want them to like you?
This week, I’m joined by Nadège, sex scholar and founder of Pleasure Science, and we’re getting into the psychology behind how we flirt, date, choose partners, and sometimes completely lose ourselves trying to create connection.
We break down different flirting styles, what they can reveal about how we approach attraction, and one distinction that had me looking at my entire dating history differently: Are you a trying person or a positioning person?
Because there’s a BIG difference between showing up in dating thinking, “How can I make this person like me?” and showing up thinking, “Let me be myself and see if I even like this person.”
We talk about people-pleasing, validation, attraction, the types of people we choose, and how constantly trying to be desirable can keep us focused on being chosen instead of asking whether the person sitting across from us is someone WE would choose.
Basically, if you've ever changed how you act around someone you like, overanalyzed whether they’re interested, tried to become their “type,” or realized you were more obsessed with getting someone to want you than whether you actually wanted them…
Girl. We need to talk.
