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

we're going to be talking about what your friends think of the people that you are dating.

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 is going to be in the show notes

of this episode. Also, if you're interested in working together and learning how to go from

dating to exclusive using the five skills of dating, I can teach you the five skills in my coaching program called From Dating to Exclusive.

If you want to learn more about that, go to ambergrubman.com forward slash coaching.

There's also a link in the show notes for you to learn more.

You can join the wait list and join me when the next coaching program opens up again.

So today I want to talk to you about how the ego can get in the way of connection in dating

specifically. And one big way that this can show up is worrying about what other people think. So maybe we go on a date with

somebody and they don't quite match the type that we were looking for. Or we think about what other

people may think when we are walking together. Or maybe their style is completely different than ours,

or maybe their work is not something that our parents would be impressed by.

And we start to consider what other people's opinions would be as a factor for whether we

should be in connection with them or start a relationship with them.

And the issue with this is that it takes us out of our intuition, emotions, and how we actually feel around this person. So the number one skill that you need to learn in dating is learning how to tune into how you feel.

The reason for this is when you tune in, you will be guided towards what's right for you.

And a lot of people don't believe that because you think, oh my gosh, when I trusted my feelings,

I dated the worst guys.

But actually in those situations, you were exactly not listening to your feelings.

You were not noticing how confused you felt.
