Hi everybody. Welcome to the Women's Dating and Confidence Podcasts. My name is Amber, and

today we're going to talk about the fear of being the crazy girl who wants commitment.

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.

And the link for that is going to be in the show notes of this episode.

This topic came up because I was hanging out with one of my guy friends and his girlfriend

a few months ago actually and this topic came up where we were talking about past dating

and their relationship and those kinds of things and I don't remember what the question was

but she was sharing with me that she used to have a fear of being the crazy girl who wants commitment.

And that that actually came from other guy friends that she had who would talk about women that they were dating and like treat them or talk about them as if they are crazy or too

much or too needy or too clingy or not cool enough because they were wanting a relationship or

wanting to be exclusive. So she said that that led to her not asking for what she felt comfortable

with or what she needed in a relationship

for years in general in different dating experiences and just trying to go with the flow the

entire time, even though that's not what she wanted.

And so eventually she changed her mindset around this and realized that it was okay to ask for what

she needed and felt comfortable with when she was dating somebody that she likes.

And now she's in an awesome relationship with my friend.

But this topic is really common in general with my clients that I work with in my group.

And it comes up probably at least on a weekly basis, and especially as we get closer to having that exclusivity conversation when one of my clients is dating somebody that they like and they feel like

they might want to be exclusive.

I mean, that's the whole name of the program from dating to exclusive.
