Find Love With Emily

"I Never Get Past A First Date"

Find Love With Emily

Show Notes

If you’ve been dating for years and love still hasn’t happened, there are ways you could be holding yourself back from love without having any idea you’re doing it.

And this is happening all the bloody time.

Because there are certain things you say about yourself when it comes to men, dating and love that might seem completely true based on your experience so far.

“I never get past a first date.” “Men don’t want someone like me.” “Dating doesn’t work for me.”

But what if the way you see yourself is actually helping to keep those same dating experiences playing out again and again?

In this episode of Find Love With Emily, I’m sharing one of the best breakthroughs that happened inside Attract YOUR Man recently, because it shows just how easily you can hold yourself back from the relationship you want without being able to see it.

And once you DO see what’s happening, you can start calling BS on yourself, and finally stop being the woman who keeps having the same experience with men and dating.

In this episode, you’ll discover: Why the way you describe yourself when it comes to dating and love matters more than you might realise How to start noticing the patterns that could be keeping you stuck in dating Why you might keep having the same experiences with men even when you desperately want something different What might really be happening when you feel like you never get past a first date Why you could be unknowingly holding yourself back from finding love A completely different way to approach first, second and third dates Why you don’t need to decide whether a man is your future husband on a first date What I mean when I say, “When you slow down, love speeds up” How to stay open to love instead of ruling men out too quickly How changing what you do can begin to change what you believe is possible for you

If you’re a successful single woman in your 30s or 40s who is exhausted by dating, struggling to get second dates, wondering why dating never seems to go anywhere, or scared you’ll never find the relationship you want, this episode will give you a completely different perspective on what might actually be happening.
