Sharing Tips from A Recognized Dating Coach...Could be Worth Keeping Handy Before Winging It...
From an email from Wendy Newman, Dating Coach...(I am not an affiliate but hope more get help in this important area of life.) Also check out what Lisa Garr does and many others on this blog I've had a chance to listen to over the last decade.
See a post I wrote early on called "Check List for Chicks and Guys" too..and 'easier said than done' but keep fine tuning your safety, boundaries, support and accountablity team and see what's on rainn.com and on DV sites (but know that many 'experts' cannot speak to many key issues, so see what LundyBancroft.com and others say Before Getting in Deep...and also resources shared there and on this ol' blog Livfully.org)
Now keep Yourself in Mind and as The Center of Your Life..and find folks who value and appreciate you and treat you kindly and with accountability even in these challenging times.(That's a note to myself as well!)
