84 - 5 Things I Stopped Doing That Led to Ultimate Dating Success
If you have been listening to me or following me for any length of time, you know that what I want most for people is to have success in dating and relationships. I see the mission of my life’s work to move the needle so that people with disabilities or the disabled, whichever you prefer, are more easily viewed and accepted as dating and relationship partners.
That’s why we now have the Dating Made Easier membership for people to give people skills and support to make dating more easy and enjoyable, while helping you get the results you’ve been longing for.
Many times when we think about achieving a goal, we think about all the things we need to do in order to have success. And yes with dating there are a lot of thing you have to do like working up the courage to put yourself out there, work on your own belief about what you deserve, and figure out exactly how you're going to meet people.
But sometimes when we’re pursuing a goal, the things we stop doing can get us to success even quicker. I was reflecting on this in my own life and realized there were five clear things I stopped doing that directly led to my version of ultimate dating success, meeting my husband.
Check out Episode 1 for our first date story.
Here are the five things I stopped doing:
- I stopped being open to long distance relationships and narrowed the radius of the location of my potential matches.
- I stopped thinking younger men would not be interested in me.
- I stopped believing that someone’s discomfort with my disability was about me and withdrawing because of someone’s discomfort with me.
- I stopped giving in to thoughts that would not serve me in the moment
- I stopped refusing to take risks to say what I really felt.
