Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of Date Yourself and Step. So I went on a date for the first time in a while. We went to a private members club in London. It was really nice. It was a really good vibe. And the weather here has been incredible. It's summer in London and it's actually summer. Last summer was very

rainy. I was here for a couple months and I remember the sun barely made an appearance. I still

loved it regardless, which is crazy because I'm such a big beach person, weather person, but for

some reason in London, it doesn't really bother me as much because I just love the city.

But this summer has been absolutely unreal and it's really been golden.

I know we've talked a lot on the podcast about this concept of the golden age and the golden era and just being in your golden aura.

And I feel like being here and just being planted

here and grounded here for the last several months has been my absolute dream come true. I feel

like I'm living out the manifestations and the vision board I created three years ago. So I went on a

day in London last night. And it was really interesting because it had me thinking of what I was going to talk about on today's episode, which is this concept of American men and American dating culture versus English men and British dating culture and how different they are. And the differences I've noticed, I've had my

fair share of both experiences. A lot of you are super curious in what the major differences are.

And it's something that I've also very much noticed because it is very different. And I wanted to

really cover it on today's episode. I also

wanted to talk about this concept of when people show you who they truly are, believe them

the first time. That's a really big thing that I've been noticing recently when it comes to

dating and comes to putting myself back on the market, I guess you could say, and just like

really opening myself up to meeting new people again. Because for a year and a half,

I really took a break off of dating. I've been in long term serious relationships for most of my

life. And I never experienced what it was really like to date myself ever in my life,

ever in my 20s. I was very codependent. I was always used to having a boyfriend by my side

to sleep next to, to do everything together with, to travel with, to experience life with. And

I'm so grateful for all of those chapters
