    91. How to speak up and advocate for yourself in early dating
    Jul 30 2024
    Are you obsessed with figuring out if your crush or date likes you back? Do you find yourself spiraling over someone who's sending mixed signals? This is the episode for you. I'm breaking down why we need to focus more on ourselves (our emotions, actions, and experiences) than on the other person's behavior in early dating. I provide tips on how to make this mental and emotional shift and what happens if you don't start dating more "selfishly." At the end of the episode, I answer a dating dilemma about getting ghosted after a great second date.
