294. 5 Tiny Habits That Will Transform Your Dating Life

All right, jumping right in here.

The first habit that I want to talk about is being decisive.

So this is a tiny habit that you can easily practice in all areas of your life, not just dating, every single day.

And it will end up having a huge impact on your confidence and self-trust, which you need to navigate the chaos of dating.

We have to make so many decisions in dating.

Do you text them back? Do you see them again? Do you say how you actually feel? Do you tell your friends about the new person you just met? Do you save them in your phone? Do you play it safe with coffee or to go on a date that's a little bit more out of the box? Is it too soon to have sex? Is it too soon to talk about past relationships? Every swipe right and swipe left is also a micro decision.

I mean, they're endless and the questions are also endless.

And that's why I have this podcast, right? To help you navigate this stuff.

But I want you to practice this habit because when each decision that you're making takes less energy because you're making it faster and from a place of trust, dating won't feel as exhausting mentally and emotionally.

I think one mistake people make in dating and also, I mean, let's face it, a lot of areas in life is always trying to make the best, most optimized, perfect decision every time.

But that approach backfires because it leads you to more doubt, regret, and less self-trust.

What is a perfect decision? You know, dating is messy.

Being decisive is about becoming comfortable with making a good enough decision and moving forward and not looking back on it.

When you can just own your choices, you're going to feel a lot more peace, trust, and confidence.

So how do you practice this habit? Well, I want you to start small, right? The habit could be you send the text after the date if you enjoyed it instead of mulling over whether or not it's good to move.

You Another one would be like, you're not going to continue talking to people if they don't ask you questions on the dating apps instead of trying to talk yourself into continuing to message with them because you like their profile.

It's so much easier when you're like, nope, this is my standard.

I don't talk to people.

If they don't ask me any questions and I've already asked them two or three.

Another one could be like when someone offers a date idea you don't like, your decision is that you suggest another idea instead of dwelling on what to do, screenshotting the text to your friends and asking what to do.

No, you decide this is what I'm doing.

I'm going to suggest another location.

And like I said, this can start in other areas of life.

Maybe you're not dating right now, but you want to.

And so if you want to practice this, you can make decisions faster, like what you're having for breakfast.
