Are you struggling to find love? Hosts Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and guest therapist Dr. Jude Black unpack Psychology Today’s hard truth’s about dating that could be holding you back.
It Isn’t Always Fun
First up, there’s a misconception that dating should constantly be fun or exciting. The reality? it’s often hard work, not just fireworks all the time. Dr. Jude says you have to put in the work and you get what you give. Look at dating like a job and do your research by doing interviews, getting to know them, and checking with “Dr. Google” to see if they are who they say they are.
Not Every Date Is “The One”
Not every person you meet will be your perfect match. Dr. Jude explains that it’s unrealistic to expect to connect with everyone and that’s okay, don’t force it.
People Lie
The hard truth is that people often present themselves differently than they truly are. In the words of Dr. Jude “people are people” and rarely do we want to be seen in a poor light. This is why many people dating lie, so it’s important to take the time to look for red flags and take note of them. If it feels right, introduce them to you’re friends! Sometimes an outside perspective is just what we need for clarity.
