Good morning gorgeous. How are you ladies doing this morning? I hope you're all

doing fantastic. For those of you who are here for the very first time,

welcome to a feminine impression podcast. And for those of you ladies

who are returning, thank you for being here today to listen to another session in our

series, Beauty and Boundaries. Today we're discussing boundaries in

dating. If you haven't already then I invite you to listen to the previous podcast

so you can kind of ease your way into this session where I discuss the

overarching topics around boundaries. We talked last week about boundaries and

friendships and we're moving on today to dating.

So I want you to go ahead and sit back, relax, get something to drink, get something to write with,

and let's talk about this. Now in terms of boundaries with

dating, the dating world is one world that we as people can sometimes find to be very intimidating, very

scary, especially if you don't have strong boundaries. And you may think, well, how do I know whether or not I have strong

boundaries and do I need them I'm already 65 or I'm only 16 is it something that

is necessary for me to start thinking about anymore?

And I would say absolutely. It doesn't matter if you're 16 or 65.

If you're someone who is dating, boundaries are necessary.

Relationships are what can change our entire lives as people.

We're all relational beings, and so we relate to one another based on how we see ourselves

and how we expect others to see us and if you don't have established boundaries then dating can be very dangerous for you.

You are putting yourself out there in such an emotional way that you need to have

safeguards to protect you as well as openings to allow wonderful things to come into your life.
