240. Stop Confusing Connection for Compatibility (Dating Dilemmas)

Dating Intentionally

About

What happens when you have an amazing connection, but the relationship itself is kind of a bust? In this episode, I'm answering four dating dilemmas that all highlight the common dating mistake of confusing connection with compatibility. The truth is, connection is important, but it can't get you anywhere with someone you're incompatible with! Featured dilemmas:

1. A woman who's not sure if she should wait for a great guy she met in person

2. Someone three months into a relationship, wondering if she's asking for too much or just asking the wrong person.

3. Someone who can't tell if the guy she's been dating for three months is a slow burn or not.

4. A woman who's been with someone for over a year and still hasn't heard "I love you" back.
