Reciprocal Dating: Effort Goes Both Ways | Dating Series Pt. 2
In Part 2 of our dating series, we’re talking about dating etiquette for women — but not in a rulebook, old-school way. This is about effort, reciprocity, and how to show interest without losing your standards.
We get into the small but meaningful things that show you actually like someone: returning effort, thoughtful gestures, bringing his favorite snack just because. Because if you see yourself as the prize, you still have to show up like someone worth choosing — not by over-giving, but by being engaged and intentional.
We also talk about the balance between keeping your self-respect and participating in the connection. When does effort become over-effort? And how do you show warmth without doing all the emotional labor?
Healthy dating isn’t about who can care less. It’s about mutual energy, mutual interest, and both people choosing to invest. If you’ve ever wondered how to show you care without overextending yourself, this episode breaks it down in a real, relatable way.
This is Part 2 of our 3-part dating series, where we’re having real and honest conversations about how dating actually feels in adulthood.
