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

we're going to be talking about how to avoid regret while dating and in relationships.

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

he's pulling away or acting flaky. The link for that is going to be in the show notes of this

episode. And you can also find a free sample of the workbook that I've created for my clients.

So the sample includes the first lesson that I go over with my clients as well as an overview of the

entire curriculum of my coaching program from dating to exclusive. So when you join the waitlist for the

coaching program, you'll also get that free sample and you can kind of see what you'll learn and start

with the first lesson. And you'll also get a discount for the

next enrollment period as well as early access to enroll. So let's talk about regret in dating

and relationships. There are two main causes for regret. The first is not seeing things through, and the second is

seeing things through, I'm mainly referring to the five elements of relationship material,

which is a concept that I created that summarizes the five things that you need in a relationship and that you need to look for

in a partner in order for the relationship to be successful.

So those five things are friendship connection, physical chemistry, respect, growth, and similar vision and values.

So for each of those elements, we're tuning into how that element feels and if that element is passing, failing, or passing with flying colors. So it's failing, it's just okay, or it's an A plus,

it's amazing, it's not an issue at all. So one issue that I notice with my clients is that they don't

want to make a decision moving forward about the connection because they're afraid of regretting that decision.

So they'll start dating someone and feel like the connection isn't really there, but feel really

guilty about ending it or feel like they need to give them more chances or feel like they might
