Yes girl! I love that you was direct with him, so no one’s time was getting wasted. I wished more people would be like this when dating! I’m glad he corrected his friends 😊
Hey! I like that he checked his friends. That’s a gentleman for sure. You definitely need to be with someone that knows how to behave around others. Still watching ❤️
lol Girl, I totally feel you! I've had my fair share of fool moments,especially with my lack of experience in the dating field. But you know what, laughter is the best medicine, and I've learned to find humor in those past experiences. Sharing our stories and lessons learned, just like you're doing here, is such a healing process. There's so much wisdom in the journey, and it's incredible that we can use our experiences to help others. Your advice about not assuming and asking specific questions is golden. Understanding a person's intentions and motivations is crucial, and it's something I've learned over time. I love how you emphasize the importance of learning from past relationships and being ready for the next chapter. It's all about growth and being the best version of ourselves for the right person when the time comes. Your story about the dinner and the evolving conversation about exclusivity is intriguing. It's a reminder that everyone moves at their own pace, and labels might not always align with where we are emotionally. It's great that you're in a place where you can honestly communicate and take things as they come. 🙏🏾 Great Vlog
Unfortunately there's so much unfair value placed on women based on their relationship status. As a result many of us don't understand that we get to choose as much as we're chosen. We end up settling for Mr. Right Now. 🙋🏾♀️ I've been there. You talk about laughing...one night two girlfriends and I were exchanging who was the bigger fool stories. Before we knew it, we'd gone through a little over two bottles of wine and my stomach felt like I'd done crunches from laughing so hard.
Hey, I can relate to your approach of not wanting to rush into anything serious or be too intentional about dating at this point. I've been out of the dating game for about four years myself, and hearing your perspective on taking things slow, understanding standards, and navigating the complexities of relationships resonates deeply. Taking the time to gather intel, understand oneself, and navigate the complexities of relationships is crucial, especially after a significant life change like divorce. **I totally agree with your perspective on standards, keeping them basic yet essential, centered around respectful communication.** It's interesting how you touch upon the differences between men and women's needs in relationships, highlighting the importance of both love and respect. Your stance on not revealing all your cards upfront makes a lot of sense. Balancing openness with a measured approach is key, allowing space for genuine connection to develop naturally. The example you shared about the bowling date and observing how someone behaves in different contexts, especially with family, resonates well. It's crucial to understand how someone carries themselves in various situations. The point about communication, not just when you're together but also when you're apart, is spot on. It's a great indicator of genuine interest and emotional connection. I appreciate your emphasis on being in the moment and not rushing into things. Your journey and reflections are fascinating, It's like stepping back into a world that has changed in some ways, and yet, the core principles of respect and genuine connection remain crucial. and I'm sure many can relate to the complexities you're navigating. Thanks for sharing, and I look forward to hearing more about your experiences and insights.
Heeey! I really appreciate your observations and comments. Sometimes I feel like my videos are TOO chatty so I don't want to go into depth too much on any given point. Then I read your comments and it's like you not only pick up on what I'm saying but you finish the points I was making in my head. Luv that!!! As I talk, I imagine you all sitting right across from me (y'all having actual profile pictures helps!) but still don't know whether I'm connecting until and unless you leave comments. Thank you for letting me know that I'm relatable. That genuinely matters to me.
@@kymberlybonet the funny thing is I feel like I’m speaking to a friend.you allow us into your home and into your space, so I feel comfortable enough to elaborate conversations on your platform.
Haha 😂 I've been through a similar phase where I felt gullible and naive, seeking approval and love after my divorce. It's incredible how life teaches us lessons, and I've certainly learned a lot along the way. Your caution about assumptions is spot on. It's crucial to differentiate between someone missing you for who you are versus what you can provide. Understanding a man's true intentions, even in the smallest gestures, is a skill that comes with experience. Your analogy about the dashboard light in a car is so insightful - it's about being attentive to the details and figuring out if someone genuinely cares about you or just the benefits you bring. **your advice on not assuming and taking the time to gather specific information about what a person truly wants. It's a reminder that clear communication is key, and actions speak louder than words.**
Girrrl, there is something about coming out of a divorce that leaves us vulnerable. We've relaxed our habit of questioning motives and forget that we're back in the world where there are actual wolves. Sadly, that's why I've known so many women who stay in unhappy marriages. You know that messed up saying, "Better the dog know than one you don't."
great video! I like how you stood firm on no I'm not ready for relationship and got "dumped" A lot of women would be persuaded I'm glad you stood your ground.
everything you said is exactly where I'm at with dating, I don't think I'm ready for commitment all the way because these men scared me lol and I have no problem telling them, but they just don't know how to keep it real even when you tell them it not that deep right now lol
Bless their hearts, so many men are just trained to tell us what we want to hear to get us where they want us that it's hard for them to unlearn it. That's exactly why we have to get deaf and let their actions do their talking.
