Why is asking for our needs to be met so scary? And how can we be our own secure base? These are the two main questions I explored with guest Rikki Cloos, who wrote an amazing book called Anxious Hearts Guide. We talk about what’s happening when our anxious attachment is activated, what to do when we feel anxious in early dating situations, what’s normal to need in a relationship and how to create more emotional safety for ourselves in dating. Rikki also talks about how she ended up in a long-term relationship with an avoidant attacher, and how they’re healing their attachment wounds together. I love this episode!

45. Who should pay on the first date and why?

I get so many questions about what to do when the check comes at the end of the date. The easy answer is, that whoever asks is who pays. However, it goes so much deeper when it comes to heterosexual dating. In this episode, I deep dive into the reasons why women believe men should pay and why men are increasingly bitter about it. What we’re experiencing now in dating is the growing pains of traditional courtship between men and women catching up with the progression towards gender equality (even though we’re not fully there yet). Listen to hear what straight and queer folks had to say about the expectation of who pays on the first date.Continue the convo on IG: on https://kissbrides.com/pt-pt/dateniceukrainian-recensao/ the blog: intentionally.datingI’m also on TikTok:
