So often when dating, we rush into emotional investment, swept up in chemistry and the excitement of new connections, only to find ourselves attached to someone we barely know.
In this episode, we’re diving into the art of slow attachment in the early stages of dating—why it’s essential, how to practice it, and the benefits it brings to your relationships. I’ll walk you through how to stay grounded, avoid projecting fantasies onto your date, and take your time to truly assess compatibility before letting your heart lead the way.
You’ll learn practical tips like pacing your interactions, shifting your mindset from chemistry to compatibility, and reframing your language to stay present in the moment. Plus, I’ll share ways to maintain your boundaries and self-confidence while fostering a meaningful connection. Whether you’re navigating the dating world or simply looking to refine your approach, this episode is your guide to slowing down and creating space for a relationship that aligns with your values and desires.
