Here are some dating advice tips for you about how to boost your dating intuition, read the telltale signs, and make smart love! The goal is for you to trust your judgement about your dating and love. But how do you do that? (This video is from the outstanding organization and website, CreatingChampionsforlife.com, which helps families and couples heal and build strong, healthy family life.) Start with these steps:
1. Practice reading people accurately. Go to the mall or restaurant to observe couples. Who’s happy? Who’s the boss? Who’s affectionate? Who does the talking or listening? Read books about reading people.
One time my husband and I were in a booth at a restaurant. Across from us was a couple sitting opposite each other in another booth. Suddenly, the woman slid off the booth and fell on the floor. The man just kept eating and shoveling food in his mouth. He didn’t even flinch! You can learn a lot from observing others!
2. Tune in to your body! Where and how do you get your intuitive signals? Do you hear something? See something? Feel something?
3. Check your emotional desperation and defensiveness. Being too anxious, eager, or afraid can disrupt your intuitive detection, acceptance, and action. Override your emotional reactions. For example, if you are feeling very lonely, you are likely to dismiss a person’s warning signs.
These are beginning steps in trusting in you! I wish you bravery and love!
