Summary

Have you gone through some type of trauma in past relationships and are hesitant to put yourself out there again? Are you experiencing frustration with your dating life? What if I told you that I want to challenge you to go on a date this month. We all know that dating can be risky and uncomfortable but if we're not willing to take a risk there will be no reward. So today, I enlisted the help of Meagan Blanchette, a courageous listener who has volunteered herself as “tribute” to take a 30-day dating challenge. In this first episode of our Dating Bootcamp podcast series, we will be challenging you to: Give yourself permission to go dating again Not get tangled in “Situationships” Get ready to test the waters again Let’s get ready for the dating journey! But first, I want you to dig deep and answer the following questions honestly: Am I ready to date? Why do I want to date now? What is my list of 50 qualities I look for on a date? 25? 10? What are my 5 non-negotiables? Of the 5 non-negotiables, which ones am I holding loosely? 4. Do I know the risk of love and am I willing to take a risk for the reward? 5. What are my sexual, financial, and spiritual boundaries? 6. What information am I sharing too much of? 7. What are my boundaries regarding time? This list might seem like a lot but trust me it’s not. You are creating a baseline, a guideline, a roadmap to help you get more comfortable with who you really are and be confident next time you go out on a date. I’m super passionate about this topic because I did dating wrong. That’s why I want you, your friend, and every single-ready-to-mingle person out there to know that dating can be both pure AND fun when you start out right. I LOVE Love and I want you to succeed in Love! If you answered any or all of the above questions, share them with me @BiancaOlthoff. Join us tomorrow for Day 2 of the bootcamp!
