Finding your YOU that leads to TWO
The posts in the dating category relate to the early stages of a relationship, before the two of you are exclusive. The dating category includes topics such as where to find men, how do I find Mr. Right?, first dates, should you call him, etc.
It's exhausting.
This search.
The journey to be or become whatever it is you think you've been missing that will finally bring you happiness, that will finally bring you life.
What if it's not about finding or seeking but about living in alignment with your heart?
What if it's not about finding any one person as much as finding your way back to yourself?
Give up the search. Give up the trying and find a place to just be.
Start with a clean slate. Start with where you are today.Continue Reading
Our letter this week comes from beautiful Renee, who spent a wonderful evening with a man, only to never hear from him again! Sound familiar? It was for me, too.
Hi Jane,
I'm single and turned 41 on Saturday. Saturday night I went to the local bar for my b-day and an older, attractive man kept asking me to dance (he was 55.)
We danced all night and had a great time. He drove my friend and I home and I gave him my number - he didn't ask I said do you text and he said yes. I said here is my number...I didn't have my phone with me at the bar.
Anyway, I feel disappointed because I never heard from him and he is stuck in my head 🙁 That's the worse part of it ... I keep going over and over stuff in my mind.
When I got out of the car Saturday night he said "By the way, you're very beautiful." He was very respectful.Continue Reading
Ever wondered if you can play too hard to get - and actually lose an opportunity to get someone at all? Well, that's Jessica's question on the blog this week.
Hi Jane,
I am so confused by this guy right now.
I would like to say he is not interested but I feel like that isn't 100 percent the case.
This guy is a player and I knew this, we met at a friends BBQ and he was pursuing me for weeks asking to see me (not to take me out but inviting me over to his house). He was messaging me every day and asking me questions like 'how is your day going' etc. so I felt like he wasn't just after one thing.
Anyway I went to his house and we watched a few movies, we got on so well and could not stop laughing. I knew he was into me. He tried to have sex with me but I said no as I do not sleep around.Continue Reading
Our letter this week comes from Jennifer, who's wondering if she's just being "too needy" while trying to navigate a relationship that's about to become long-distance.
Hi Jane,
I would love to read your advice on my current dating situation.
About 6 months ago I began going on dates with this guy who I had met in class. I immediately found myself drawn to him since the first day I saw him but I was too shy to initiate anything during the semester. Luckily for me (or maybe not) we reconnected two months after our class ended and began going on dates.
During this time we really connected over our shared faiths, career goals, and personal attributes. Although it was clear that we really liked each other we never made it official. He had been accepted to an out of state medical school and didn’t want to make me any promises that he couldn’t keep.Continue Reading
I heard from another one of us yesterday.
Yet another one of us taking on all his stuff.
Wounded, broken, emotionally bereft. It's him I'm talking about here.
A father who was never there or demanded nothing less than absolute perfection and stoic adherence to his own emotional deprivation.
An anxious or overbearing mother projecting everything onto her son from the issues she never dared address with her husband.
He's a different face but with the same story.
You would think we would have had enough by now, but we're the last ones to give up on something that comes so close to resembling the only love we've ever known.
Not the loving kind, no, the other kind.Continue Reading
Our letter today comes from one of our beautiful readers, Victoria. She's asking for some advice on the heartbreak she's experiencing over someone who's clearly still looking in the rear-view mirror for his ex. Her sister's about to be at her wits' end listening to her (haven't we all had family members like that!), so she's hoping to get some fresh advice on here.
Hi Jane,
Thank you for your comments about unavailable men and us thinking they are with us when in fact they are somewhere else. I just wanted some unbiased advice as I think my sister will be fed up of me shortly and I'm on an emotional roller coaster often ending up in tears.
I have been divorced for a long time, found it difficult to get over my husband leaving so threw myself into guarding my heart to make sure it wasn't broken again and raising my child.
I was introduced by friends 8 months ago to a lovely man who I thought was perfect for me.Continue Reading
