Hi everybody. Welcome to the women's dating and confidence podcast. My name is Amber, and

today I want to talk about how to create a relationship in which you are deeply known and loved.

Before we get into that, I want to share with you my free guide called copy and paste texts

for when he's pulling away or acting flaky.

The link for that guide is in the show notes.

It's eight pages long, a page for each situation that you could find yourself in no matter how unique

and exactly what to say and do and think in that situation. If you are interested in learning how to go

from dating to exclusive without playing games, without anxiety, and without overthinking everything, then check out the link

in the show notes to learn more about coaching. The next group is getting started in November,

and you can apply now through October. All right, so let's talk about the concept of being

deeply known and loved. And really what we're

talking about today is our standards for conversation and communication with the people that we date.

So one thing that many people are running into right now online and on dates and in general with people

that you're connecting with is that a lot of people are not skilled at having in-depth open and

insightful and emotionally open conversations. So a lot of people, for example, even starting online,

are giving one-worded responses to your questions. Or you go on a date and they love talking about

themselves, but they hardly ask you any questions. Or even if they do ask a question, it's surface level or when they give an

answer to one of your questions, it's surface level. And something that came up with a client this

last week is that she said she was coming across some people like that who were not really

opened and emotionally engaged and thoughtful

in their responses and not reciprocal in the communication and conversation.

And when she told her friends about it, they said, well, you know, guys are just kind of like that.
