My dating life in 2021 was nonexistent. I had just checked myself back in the game after being off the grid for a few years and I was starting at 0. I swung & missed often but through it I learned some incredibly important lessons that have completely changed my mindset & approach to dating. The journey of dating can be a bumpy one but once you find your groove and have the right perspective, it can be an exciting adventure. Today we\\u2019re diving into the 7 dating lessons that I learned the hard way.

7 lessons I\\u2019ve learned from dating that I wish I knew earlier :\\xa0

• 1 : Having an abundance mindset when it comes to dating has changed my perspective. I know there are plenty of fish in the sea so if it doesn\\u2019t work out with someone, I\\u2019m okay with that. \\xa0
• 2 : Confidence is a must. Once I was able to fully step into who I am, the most authentic version of me, I was then able to truly show up confidently. Liquor confidence doesn\\u2019t count. \\xa0
• 3 : Express subtle interest to the person you\\u2019re attracted to. Make playful jokes, lightly compliment them and ask them deep questions when possible. Take the initiative to give hints that you are interested in them.\\xa0
• 4 : Dating is a dance. It takes equal effort from both people and if one decides to step off the dance floor, that\\u2019s okay. We remind ourselves of the abundance mindset and that there is someone else on the dance floor waiting for us.
• 5 : Let rejection add fuel to the fire inside you. If someone is not interested in you, no big deal. At least you went for it and now it\\u2019s time to get back out there again.
• 6 : Close doors to open new ones. It\\u2019s better to move on from the person you\\u2019re dating if you know this is a short term thing and see some red flags. By doing that, we welcome something new to possibly enter into our life.\\xa0
• 7 : Embrace the journey of dating. In the beginning some hard lessons will be learned but through those moments, it helps change the way you approach it moving forward.
