Ep 107: Dating Bootcamp Day 1 - Getting Dating Right

<p>Have you gone through some type of trauma in past relationships and are hesitant to put yourself out there again? Are you experiencing frustration with your dating life? What if I told you that I want to challenge you to go on a date this month.&nbsp;</p> <p>We all know that dating can be risky and uncomfortable but if we're not willing to take a risk there will be no reward. So today, I enlisted the help of Meagan Blanchette, a courageous listener who has volunteered herself as “tribute” to take a 30-day dating challenge.</p> <p>In this first episode of our Dating Bootcamp podcast series, we will be challenging you to:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>Give yourself permission to go dating again&nbsp;</li> <li>Not get tangled in “Situationships”&nbsp;</li> <li>Get ready to test the waters again&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p>Let’s get ready for the dating journey! But first, I want you to dig deep and answer the following questions honestly:&nbsp;</p> <ol> <li>Am I ready to date?&nbsp;</li> <li>Why do I want to date now?&nbsp;</li> <li>What is my list of 50 qualities I look for on a date? 25? 10?</li> </ol> <ul> <li>What are my 5 non-negotiables?</li> <li>Of the 5 non-negotiables, which ones am I holding loosely?&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p>4. Do I know the risk of love and am I willing to take a risk for the reward?&nbsp;</p> <p>5. What are my sexual, financial, and spiritual boundaries?&nbsp;</p> <p>6. What information am I sharing too much of?&nbsp;</p> <p>7. What are my boundaries regarding time?&nbsp;</p> <p>This list might seem like a lot but trust me it’s not. You are creating a baseline, a guideline, a roadmap to help you get more comfortable with who you really are and be confident next time you go out on a date.&nbsp;</p> <p>I’m super passionate about this topic because I did dating wrong. That’s why I want you, your friend, and every single-ready-to-mingle person out there to know that dating can be both pure AND fun when you start out right.</p> <p>I <strong>LOVE</strong> <em>Love</em> and I want you to succeed in <em>Love</em
