Thank you for 194 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 3: having me. I'm excited for our chat today. We have 195 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 3: so much to go over. 196 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 4: Okay, Sabrina, everybody has questions when it comes to dating. 197 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 4: But before we get into that, let's talk about the 198 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 4: term dating coach because it gets thrown around a lot, 199 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 4: but I think we should just level set and break 200 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 4: it down. What does the term dating coach actually mean? 201 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,719 Speaker 4: And what do dating coaches do? 202 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 3: So I'll speak for myself at least in this regard 203 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 3: for me personally, what a day coach looks like is 204 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 3: it's an amalgamation of things. On the top most people 205 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 3: come to me with like, hey, okay, so here's my 206 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 3: dating experience is I don't understand what's going on. I 207 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 3: have some clients where I work with them purely to 208 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 3: just teach them how to date. Literally have never even 209 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 3: gone out there, have been married for thirty years, haven't 210 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 3: even opened a nap. But then there's also this beautiful, 211 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 3: magical part that I get to work with people to 212 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 3: understand what's under that. So for me, yes, I could 213 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 3: just talk over arching about how to date, but I 214 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 3: actually love to bring people back home to themselves because 215 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 3: my mama has been saying this to me for years. 216 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 3: You have to love yourself more than the need to 217 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 3: be loved by other people. Because if you are constantly 218 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 3: waiting for everyone else to validate you, when you are 219 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 3: so unhealthy in that regard, and when you're always waiting 220 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 3: for that validation any healthy person coming your way, you 221 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 3: won't be able to accept it because that goes against 222 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 3: your core belief What I like to do is start 223 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 3: to strip away and understand what are those core beliefs 224 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 3: so that we can move past it, and then you 225 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 3: can have different experiences in your dating life. So for me, 226 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 3: at least personally, it goes way. 227 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 4: Deeper, Sabrina, I want to hear more about you. I know, 228 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 4: for me and for a lot of other people out 229 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 4: there too. Sometimes we learn the most from our failures 230 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 4: in life. So can you tell us a little bit 231 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 4: more about where your expertise comes from. Do you think 232 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 4: it comes from having bad dating experiences? 233 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 3: Absolutely? Like I lived in New York for twelve years 234 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 3: when I just turned nineteen up until I was thirty one. 235 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 3: Then I moved to La so and ill had been 236 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 3: dating in Miami as well, kind of in between all 237 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 3: of that, so I had dated in three of the 238 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 3: major cities. It was constantly like eating shit, having fuck boys, 239 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 3: having the people that are wasting your time. It was 240 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 3: one after another after another, and me constantly saying no, no, 241 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 3: it's not me, it's everybody else. And it wasn't until 242 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 3: my sister sat me down and was like, you are 243 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 3: the fucking problem and I was like, wow, oh okay, 244 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 3: Like didn't see it that way, And then starting to 245 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 3: really do the work. I'm not broken. I just have 246 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 3: a lot of childhood traumas I need to work through. 247 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 3: And I started to understand how setting boundaries started to 248 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 3: change the way I dated, how showing up differently started 249 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 3: to manifest different people coming into my life, which ultimately 250 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 3: led me, after five years being painfully single and those 251 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 3: both cities, finding an amazing partner that I'm with now 252 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 3: that I've been with for a year and a half, 253 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 3: because when you show up differently, you start to receive differently. 254 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 3: And that really came from personal experience and me having 255 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 3: dated practically every kind of guy you can imagine. 256 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 1: First of all, congrats, because what I hear people that 257 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: find people after doing the work. As you say, it 258 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 1: feels like you earned love, you didn't just find it. 259 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: And there's something really beautiful about that. 260 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 4: I love that, and I really appreciate, Sabrina, how often 261 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 4: you take ownership over your own problems and the awareness 262 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 4: that you have of the issues that you have to 263 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 4: work through, because I think that's actually a pretty countercultural message. 264 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 4: In today's society. The narratives that we hear are all 265 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 4: about blaming other people. So is that intentional to position 266 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 4: yourself in this way or did it just kind of 267 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 4: happen organically. 268 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 3: It happened organically because truthfully speaking, like that's the problem. 269 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 3: You know, we're so focused and it's like all of 270 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 3: these people telling you here's what to do to get 271 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 3: a guy. Okay, so you're manipulating and gamifying this, like 272 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 3: so you can control somebody else because you're playing like 273 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 3: a chess game that didn't resonate with me. And for me, 274 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 3: I went through years of not taking accountability and saying no, no, 275 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 3: it's everybody else until I took radical acceptance of me, 276 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 3: my actions and like even as a business owner, of course, 277 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 3: it would be easy to say, well, my employees messed up, 278 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 3: and they messed that up. But then I have to 279 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 3: take ownership and say, but I'm the manager. I'm the 280 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 3: one overseeing it. So if I drop the ball, it 281 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 3: starts and stops with me. And what that did was 282 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 3: it allowed me to empower myself, because when you can 283 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 3: take full accountability and ownership of your part in it, 284 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 3: you can take full control of your life. 285 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 4: Asking for a friend who's working on radical self acceptance, 286 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 4: what has been the hardest facet? 287 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: What is this stutter? It was my favorite pireus. 288 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, what has been the hardest facet of your personality 289 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 4: to accept or overcome? 290 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 3: Truthfully, I've had the dichotomy of I'm not enough, but 291 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 3: I'm also too much, So I'm too much because growing 292 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 3: up my dad would I mean, you would have an 293 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 3: emotion and he would hit you or walk out, or 294 00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 3: there was always some kind of a band in me 295 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 3: because he could not handle emotions and now being especially 296 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 3: in the light where people can judge you and trolls 297 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 3: can say things those reaffirming core beliefs of see, you're 298 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 3: too much. I knew your personality was too big. Took 299 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 3: me this entire last year to finally stop and say, well, 300 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 3: this is who I am. It's not like I'm saying 301 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 3: every other word. I speak fast, I curse, I'm from 302 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 3: New York. I'm very driven, I'm very direct, I'm very blunt. 303 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 3: And accepting that about me meant that I no longer 304 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 3: had to change that part about me. I could embrace 305 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 3: it and really actually learn to love myself. And those 306 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 3: protective parts that created me are ultimately the ones that 307 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 3: are also helping me in my career. 308 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 2: What is doing the work look like? 309 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: Like? I feel like we can say it's therapy, but 310 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: it's more than that. 311 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 3: One hundred percent. It runs so much deeper. I think 312 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 3: truly what doing the work is is it's kind of 313 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 3: a myriad of things. I think it's like three major aspects. 314 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 3: It's identifying your triggers. It's understanding yourself. It's knowing what 315 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 3: sets you off. It's knowing who you are as a person. 316 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 3: And what are your weaknesses as well. Then the second 317 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 3: part of that is being able to stop intellectualizing it, 318 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 3: Like I think the reality is it's not a lack 319 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 3: of information. We have all the information. It's a lack 320 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 3: of implementation. And so when we're really looking at what 321 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 3: is doing the work means. Doing the work means being 322 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 3: able to stop and say, what is actually my reality 323 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 3: versus what glasses am I wearing to alter the reality. 324 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: There's a version of validating your experience too that I've 325 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: personally felt and I find it with a lot of 326 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: my female friends. Trusting your own experience, trusting your own instincts. 327 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: I think we talk ourselves out of it a lot, 328 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: and so I really like that word validation. 329 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 3: And we have to remember too, it's like it's so normal. 330 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 3: I want to like normalize so many things. The reason 331 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 3: that could be normal is like I grew up not 332 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 3: being able to trust my gut. I couldn't understand because 333 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 3: it was unsafe for me to do so. So there 334 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 3: is a space where we can have so much compassion 335 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 3: for people that have never been able to validate. But 336 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 3: then we also have to have that moment of explanation 337 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 3: or excuse you know, are we using this as an 338 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 3: explanation to where we are and where we're going, or 339 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 3: are we using it as well? I'm avoidant and that's 340 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 3: me and I don't communicate. It's like, well, fucking do 341 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 3: something about it. 342 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 4: Work on it. 343 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 2: So this is the bright side. 344 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: And we didn't want to just focus on red flags, 345 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: even though I'm very interested in those. We wanted to 346 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: also talk about green flags. So what are things to 347 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: look out for in a new relationship. 348 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 3: Off the bat? Consistency and reciprocity. So those are the 349 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 3: two things. Consistency for me, like, I have dated very 350 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 3: extensively in New York and LA and it was literally. 351 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 2: Like and Miami apparently all those cities. 352 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm from Florida, so I was always back and forth, 353 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 3: just going like from New York to Miami all the time. 354 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 4: I feel like you should get a degree, like once 355 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,479 Speaker 4: you graduate from dating in one of these cities. 356 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 3: Right, I would love that. Whereas where is my compensation 357 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 3: for the trauma that I've exerienced? 358 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 4: Exactly? 359 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 3: But really, like, as far as what is consistency to me, 360 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 3: the person I go to bed to is the person 361 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 3: I can wake up to that I know that this 362 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 3: is this person's the same day in and day out. 363 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 3: Can you have mood swings? Of course you're human, But 364 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 3: it's really knowing that when I express myself, do they 365 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 3: make me feel seen, hurt and understood? Do I feel safe? 366 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 3: Do I feel like, Wow, I can say anything to 367 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 3: this person they don't judge me? Or am I scared 368 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 3: to open up and open my mouth because I don't 369 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 3: want to push them away? So it's really just looking 370 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 3: at those little things. 371 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 4: One hundred percent. That is so important. Okay, so those 372 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 4: are the green flags, but we all know those wouldn't 373 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 4: exist without red flags. So let's get into it. So 374 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 4: red flags, of course things to run from in a 375 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 4: new relationship, right, but what are the most common red 376 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 4: flags that you tend to warn people about. 377 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 3: When somebody calls all their exes crazy, huge red flag, 378 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 3: it's like that beans that person's not taking any accountability 379 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 3: or ownership. So like somebody that tells you I'm not 380 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 3: ready for a relationship, or somebody that can't even have 381 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 3: conversation with you, somebody that you know, maybe like hasn't 382 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 3: processed their past. If you can't even have conversations of 383 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 3: depth with this person because they're always trying to avoid it, 384 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 3: somebody who won't be making consistent plans with you, somebody 385 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 3: who only wants to text but never wants to call you. 386 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 3: And we have to remember, a red flag doesn't mean, 387 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 3: like truly run for the hills, but a red flag 388 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 3: is something to start taking note of. 389 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 4: So I want to dig into something that you just 390 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 4: said there about some red flags are just kind of 391 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 4: a warning sign and some you really have to listen to. 392 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 4: So are some red flags redeemable? 393 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 3: Yes, because we have to remember it depends on the context, right, 394 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 3: So it's like, if there's a red flag that we 395 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 3: see in the beginning that maybe it's just more of 396 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,959 Speaker 3: a trigger, you know, like if somebody says something to 397 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 3: you and you're like, well, I don't like the way 398 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 3: he spoke to me. To somebody else, they could say, 399 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 3: I don't know, he didn't speak to me in any 400 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 3: inappropriate way. Like if somebody's calling all of their exes crazy, 401 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 3: that's not really very redeemable because if I'm going to 402 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 3: probe a little deeper and find out that they're still 403 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 3: not taking accountability, I'm probably not going to waste my 404 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 3: time with this person. Versus somebody who says I just 405 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 3: want to go slow. That might not be a red 406 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 3: flag to somebody. To somebody, that might be because they 407 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 3: might want to rush into something, and to someone else 408 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 3: they might be like, wow, that's a really green flag. 409 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,959 Speaker 3: So I really think it also depends on the context 410 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 3: versus some things like if you want a relationship and 411 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 3: this person doesn't, or I'll say one that I find 412 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 3: to be a huge red flag when you're intimate with 413 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 3: someone and they refuse to you protection for your first time. 414 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 3: That's a huge red flag for me because it's just 415 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 3: you're not taking care of my life, You're not taking 416 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 3: care of your life, and you just want to be 417 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 3: willy nilly Like that doesn't work for me. So there's 418 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 3: little things where I'm like, Okay, if you're going to 419 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 3: do this with me and you just met me, what 420 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 3: do you do with everybody else? Like that's safety that 421 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 3: I'm not. I don't really love that. 422 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 4: That's a medical emergency. That's not a red flag. 423 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 2: Skiz right, Skez, Right's easy. 424 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: What do you think the best way is to get 425 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: to know somebody? 426 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 2: Nowadays? 427 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: Like with all the technology we have, sometimes I feel 428 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: like it's better if we just wind it all backwards. 429 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 3: To me strip the phones. The phones are just there 430 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 3: to make a quick plan, check in how you doing, 431 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 3: But the phone is not the connection point. The texting 432 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 3: and dating was something I think that made me put 433 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 3: me on the map because I was saying things people 434 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 3: weren't saying, and that is, you don't need to text 435 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 3: every day and so not when you first met somebody. 436 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 3: If I just met you two days ago, why do 437 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 3: you need to be part of my day to day life. 438 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 3: Nowadays we're looking at this hunk of metal saying, well, 439 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 3: he didn't text me every day. That means he doesn't 440 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 3: like me. We're making so many assumptions as opposed to 441 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 3: how are they showing up? Are you spending time together 442 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 3: when you're with them? Are they consistent? Do they listen 443 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 3: to you? Did they ask you questions? Are they making 444 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 3: consistent plans? Are you seeing this person? Are you having 445 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 3: conflict and resolve? That is how you build a relationship. 446 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 1: Yep. 447 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 4: Should we talk about apps for a little bit. So 448 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 4: you met your man, you call him tech guy on hinge? 449 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 4: What's your advice for people who want to get off 450 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 4: the apps? Because I've been married for eighty two years 451 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 4: and all of my friends who are single always are 452 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 4: telling me how terrible the apps are, So like, how 453 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 4: do we get people off the apps and into the 454 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 4: loves that they want to find? 455 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 3: Great question I think when it comes to the apps, 456 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 3: like and I was one of those people that I 457 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 3: was like, EPs are sore the worst. I needed to 458 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 3: be a better buyer. So it's like there's a twofold one. 459 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 3: It's about how are you selling yourself? Essentially, like this 460 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 3: is your resume, right, so it's like, how are you 461 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 3: presenting yourself? But at the very baseline, do they have 462 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 3: anything on their profile of depth? Do they have prompts? 463 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 3: Are their prompts one word answers? So it's like how 464 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 3: long are they charting with you on the apps? How 465 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 3: long does it take for them to try to make 466 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 3: a plan with you? Those are the little things that 467 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 3: I mean by being a better buyer. So if you 468 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 3: have somebody that's keeping you on the app for three 469 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 3: four weeks, texting you every single day, you're wasting your time. 470 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 3: That person's clearly not intentional with the way that they're dating. 471 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 3: You got to know you're non negotiables, your boundaries list, 472 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 3: you have to be very clear. The biggest thing about this. 473 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 3: You have to be okay walking away from people that 474 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 3: don't match that. 475 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 2: Okay, wait, we have listener questions. 476 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: We want to give you some specific scenarios and get 477 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: your take on them. The first one is do I 478 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: have to pretend to take out my credit card and 479 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: offer to pay on the first date. 480 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 3: If they asked me on the date? I don't do 481 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 3: that anymore because if you asked me to be there, Listen, 482 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 3: my time is valuable. I wasn't going to do this date. 483 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 3: So what I'll usually do is, whoever asked me on 484 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 3: the date, I'm not doing the credit card reach. I'll 485 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 3: usually just sit there and if they pull out their 486 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 3: credit card, I'll say, well, thank you so much. I 487 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 3: really appreciate that. 488 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 2: But what if you intend on never seeing them again? 489 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 3: I still think same rules apply. Listen, just because I'm 490 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 3: on the date doesn't mean I'm guaranteed to want to 491 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 3: see you again. But the same thing if I invite 492 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 3: a guy on a date, I would be prepared, Like 493 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 3: if I say, come meet me for a coffee. If 494 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 3: I go up and order the coffee, I'm happy to 495 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 3: pay for the coffee, so I look at it as 496 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 3: the them paying for you. Doesn't mean that you owe 497 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 3: them anything. So just because you don't want to see 498 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 3: them again doesn't still mean that they didn't invite you 499 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 3: out to dinner and that you said yes, you spent 500 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 3: your time to go there, it just didn't work. 501 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 2: See. 502 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: I always feel like if I don't offer to pay 503 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: and if I don't ever intend on seeing them again, A, 504 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: I feel bad, but B I feel like it is 505 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: a trade like I sometimes offer to pay even if 506 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: I like somebody, because I'm like, I'm not trying. 507 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 2: To trade like a makeout for a dinner. 508 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 4: You know what I mean? 509 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know what you mean. And I think it's 510 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 3: there's an element of being there to receive. You know, 511 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 3: we talk all of this dynamics of feminine masculine. I 512 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 3: don't like to do that. What I do like to 513 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 3: look at is how can I be in a space 514 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 3: where I feel comfortable to receive from somebody? So just 515 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 3: because I don't like you, or just because I don't 516 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 3: feel like I owe you anything, doesn't still mean that 517 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 3: my time wasn't valuable and that again you asked me 518 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 3: to be here and I'm here now. Listen, you want 519 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 3: to split the check? 520 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: Split it? 521 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 3: Who cares? I've done that before, I've pulled out the card. 522 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 3: But the reality is sometimes when they say yes, you're like, 523 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 3: you can give you the current. I was just doing 524 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 3: it to be polite, and you're like grudgingly putting it down. 525 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 3: So I think it's if it's all thin. Like there's 526 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 3: some women that are like, I don't want a man 527 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 3: to pay for me. Great, then you hold that ground. 528 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 3: You do what feels right for you. And if you're 529 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 3: like I don't want you have to owe you anything, 530 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 3: you pay. But I don't think it needs to be 531 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 3: an expectation that the woman has to split the first date. 532 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 4: I'm gonna be honest. I had a fantastic first date 533 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 4: with my husband and it was the stuff that dreams 534 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 4: are made of. And then the second date, it was 535 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 4: a day date, but he asked me to go Dutch 536 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 4: and I was like, what in the broke ass artist 537 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 4: is this? Because he was a struggling screenwriter at the time, 538 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 4: I was like, what is going on? But I got 539 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 4: over it, so you know, I was flexible. 540 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 2: Did you split the check? 541 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 4: We did, because I'm I felt awkward and I was like, okay, yeah, 542 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 4: sure I'll split the check, but. 543 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 3: You can't say no, no, it's like yeah, It's like 544 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 3: if you're saying no, you're like I may never see 545 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 3: this person again. And I like my partner and I 546 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 3: we like the first couple of dates he paid, and 547 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 3: then it became a thing of like, I don't need 548 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 3: someone to take care of me. I'm a woman, I 549 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 3: can I can pay my own way. So sometimes it's 550 00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,719 Speaker 3: I get dinner, you get dinner. I get it, you 551 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 3: get It doesn't have to be like I had an 552 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 3: ex that would go down the receipt and split what 553 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 3: you bought at the grocery store. That's a whole nother 554 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 3: level of no, thank you. But if somebody's being honest 555 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 3: of like I'm a struggling screenwriter, I'm sorry, I just like, 556 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 3: can we split this? 557 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 4: You know what? 558 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 3: How do you show up for me in other ways 559 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,479 Speaker 3: besides paying for me? Because it's that life is free. 560 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 3: Nothing in life is free. I would see it differently 561 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 3: because like, my partner's not necessarily the most generous with money, 562 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 3: but boy is he generous with love. But I think 563 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 3: it also depends on like very much like he's he 564 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 3: is frugal. He's just the type of person he saves 565 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 3: a lot of money. He's not the type. He's not 566 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 3: going to splurge, and he doesn't do that. But I've 567 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 3: never had somebody so supportive because he shows it with 568 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,959 Speaker 3: acts of service. Acts of service is his love language, 569 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 3: not gift giving and not spending money. Spending money is 570 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 3: actually quite easy. I can just easily take out my 571 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 3: credit card and go up. I've got her, But how 572 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 3: do I show up for her? That way is so 573 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 3: much more important to me because we're a partnership. I'm 574 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 3: looking for a partner, not a project. And that also 575 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 3: means that it might come with some eighty twenty. It 576 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 3: might mean that this person doesn't necessarily financially splurge, But 577 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 3: how else are they showing that that satisfied my needs? 578 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 4: Okay, we are going to get into some more or 579 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 4: lessener questions. Here's one. Let's say someone sounds perfect on paper, 580 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 4: but for whatever reason, it's just still not clicking. I 581 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 4: can't get there. Should you keep pursuing them because it's 582 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 4: supposed to be a good fit. 583 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 3: My one thing I'll say about that, I get that 584 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 3: all the time. And here's the one determining factor. Do 585 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 3: you even want to be intimate or physical with this person? 586 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: For me. 587 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 3: I was so anxious and I had so much anxiety. 588 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 3: I wasn't ready for the perfect on paper guy, the 589 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 3: guy that was all those things I said I wanted 590 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 3: because I couldn't receive that. So if it's a matter 591 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 3: of man, this guy's really amazing, he's awesome, he's everything, 592 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 3: I'm not feeling it, It's like, well, what aren't you feeling? 593 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 3: Are you looking for a feeling? Because if you're chasing 594 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 3: the feeling, then you're just going to constantly be chasing versus. 595 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 3: When this guy touches me, I move out of the 596 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 3: way because I'm physically not even remotely interested in him. 597 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 3: Two very different experiences, and that's why I'm like, we 598 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 3: don't have to sleep with the person, but even just 599 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 3: at dinner, let them touch your arm, touch their leg, 600 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 3: do some kind of physical touch to see how you 601 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 3: feel my partner, I kept touching his leg and I 602 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 3: liked it. When we first met, I wasn't cuckookachew. But 603 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 3: it wasn't until he kissed me where I was like, 604 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 3: oh my god, because honestly, I hated the way he 605 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 3: dressed and I hated his car. So I had my ix. 606 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 3: Oh oh, I pulled on I was like, I'm such 607 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 3: a fickle bitch. I was like, this is not for me. 608 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 3: But it wasn't until when he kissed me. I remember 609 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 3: being like, whoa, where is this coming from? And that's 610 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 3: what I pursued. 611 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:23,199 Speaker 2: That is fabby. 612 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: Okay, you talk a lot about box theory, which, for 613 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 1: anyone who doesn't know, it's basically the idea that when 614 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: a guy meets a woman that he immediately puts her 615 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: in a box and that box never changes. So the 616 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: boxes are a woman you hook up with, a woman 617 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: you can date, or a woman that you just want 618 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: to be friends with. 619 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on box theory. I don't believe 620 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 3: in the box theory personally, I either. 621 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 4: I do think guys I do get into it. 622 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 3: Well, let's get into it, because I think what it 623 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 3: is it's an incredibly shallow way of looking at things. 624 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 3: Not that your shallow, so please, I want to just 625 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 3: clear it. Like this to me, I hope to upt 626 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 3: them on the first and I asked him, I'm like, 627 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 3: what did you think of me? 628 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 2: After? 629 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 3: He was like, I knew that I wanted to sleep 630 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 3: with you. Again, he was like, I didn't know I 631 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,199 Speaker 3: wanted to date you. He was like, I didn't know you. 632 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 3: How was I supposed to know in the first twenty 633 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 3: minutes of meeting you that I would want to be 634 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 3: in a relationship. Because I think the box theory's implication 635 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 3: is that once you're in that box, you don't get out. Now, 636 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 3: what we're overlooking here is why are we We're giving 637 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 3: so much credence, but yet we're not looking at is 638 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 3: what was that person's intentions? Because if that person came 639 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 3: to you with the intentions of I don't want a relationship, 640 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 3: I don't care if you're the Queen of Sheheba, if 641 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 3: you're a gold statue brought from the God's above, you're 642 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 3: not going to change somebody else. So once they put 643 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 3: you in that box, the reason you're not out of 644 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 3: it isn't because of you and who you are. It's 645 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 3: because of their intentions with you. So I think it 646 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 3: allows too many people to say, oh, well, if it 647 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 3: didn't happen immediately, or if this guy puts me in 648 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 3: that bucket, and it's like, it's more about just what 649 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 3: are their intentions? Does that person even want a relationship? 650 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 3: And if they don't want one, then it doesn't matter 651 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 3: what you do you're not getting out of that box 652 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:50,679 Speaker 3: because they don't want that. 653 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 4: Sabrina, thank you so much for these dating diamonds.

So I think it depends 678 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 3: on connent. So the flip side trashes their ex, Oh, 679 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 3: that's a red flag. 680 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 4: I'm gonna say red flag too. 681 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: I have an ex that I would like to trash, 682 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: but I specifically don't do it because I don't want 683 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: to be a red flag girl. 684 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 4: It's kind of like anybody who trashes their workplace or 685 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 4: their ex boss, Like, that's also a red flag too, 686 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 4: you know, whenever they're interviewing for a job or something. 687 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 3: Like if I'm going to talk about my ex and 688 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 3: be like they were narcissistic, I was unhealthy and it 689 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 3: was a toxic relationship, it's very different to start attacking 690 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 3: them as a person. At that point, we run as 691 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 3: fast as we can. So, okay, calling their mom multiple 692 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 3: times every day. 693 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 4: Green green all the way as a boy, mom green 694 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 4: red flag for me multiple times to day, Right. 695 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: Man, I have dated loves their mom a little too much, 696 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: Like you have to love your mom. 697 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 2: You don't have to.

But being in 703 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 3: a relationship now, I understood that had to get low. 704 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 3: You know, I wasn't able to call my mom every 705 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 3: ten times a day. But I think it also depends. 706 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 3: Are you calling your mother because you don't how to 707 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 3: work the washing machine and you're dependent by her because 708 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 3: you can't function, or are you calling her because you 709 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 3: just really love talking to your mom and something exciting 710 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 3: happened and you wanted to share it with her. Those 711 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 3: are two experiences that are different exactly. 712 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 4: I can't give you an objective opinion on this one. 713 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 3: You're a boy mom. 714 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 4: I'm a boy mom all the way.

I love it, 718 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 2: but I know it's a red flag. 719 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 3: I'm going to say in between, some of these are 720 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 3: really context dependent. For me, it just feels like a 721 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 3: red flag because when somebody comes on really strong, they're 722 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 3: chasing a feeling, not you. They don't know you, so 723 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 3: it's really hard for someone to be love momming so 724 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,479 Speaker 3: all over you, because it's either they're manipulating you or 725 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 3: they're super insecure and they just want to make sure 726 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 3: you're not going to leave them. Neither of those are 727 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 3: really coming from a healthy and secure place. So okay, 728 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 3: eating the last sights of pizza? 729 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 2: I love this question. 730 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 4: That's a red flag. 731 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 2: As a Midwest girl, it is a red flag. 732 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 4: Says a lot about selfishness, about caring for the other person. 733 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 5: I think that. 734 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 2: Manners you just don't do that in the Midwest. 735 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 3: I'm going to say neutral only in the sense because 736 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 3: as a girl who lives for pizza, I go after 737 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 3: what I want. 738 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 2: But I will as you're a New Yorker, So. 739 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 3: But I will say I think the reason becomes a 740 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 3: red flag is communicate. Hey, do you want the life slaves? 741 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 3: Do you want to split it? Versus? When I'm at 742 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 3: dinner and somebody just takes it, You're like, well, how 743 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 3: did you know? I didn't want that? So I'm with 744 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 3: you on that being the red flag. All right, maintaining 745 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 3: independence in a relationship.

So like if they have 750 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 3: a boys night, they're not just going to cancel boys 751 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 3: night because you say you want to do something. 752 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I'm going to go in between on 753 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 4: that one, just in case. If there's something that really 754 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 4: means a lot to me and I'm like, I really 755 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 4: want to have you there, then I would expect them 756 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 4: to move their plans around. But in general, yes, preserve 757 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 4: your own identity with a little flexibility. 758 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you exactly. 759 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 3: I think the exactly the rigidity is not what we're 760 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 3: looking for, but we're looking for.

I think 770 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 4: it depends on how big the disagreements are and also 771 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 4: how you resolve them. At the end of the day. 772 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 4: That's more important, right, one hundred percent. 773 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 3: The conflict isn't the problem, it's the repair. But it's like, 774 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 3: is this a constant problem? 775 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: Right? 776 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 3: The same problem? Is it a repeated problem? Or is 777 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 3: it just you're learning each other. You have some conflict, 778 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 3: but then you repair it and you grow closer. That's 779 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 3: a beautiful part. 780 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: I have a quick question for you.
