I don’t believe in dating rules. They keep us from figuring out what’s right for US in dating. Because relationships are not a one-size-fits-all.

—

Recently, someone in my private Facebook group, Your Last First Date, posted this graphic image: 10 Dating Commandments 2020. I was happy to see so many women in the group did not agree with these dating rules.

Instead of dating rules, I suggest incorporating dating principles. Here are mine…

Last First Date Dating Principles

1. Work on your stuff so you don’t project fears and past relationship issues on the new guys you meet.
2. Cast a wide net: be as open as you can about the things that don’t matter and as narrow as possible on the things that do.
3. Learn to communicate clearly and kindly.
4. Know your standards, and set clear boundaries to protect what matters from the start.
5. Don’t try to fix men. What you see is what you get.
6. Walk away from men who don’t treat you with kindness and respect.
7. Don’t give up hope. Believe he’s out there waiting for you, and you will find him.
8. Live your best life and be grateful for what you already have.
9. Forgive those who have hurt you so you can move on.
10. Have fun and laugh as much as you can.

Watch the video for more detail on why you should throw out those dating rules.

Do you have fear of abandonment? If you do, you’re not alone. My podcast guest, Jami, volunteered to be coached live on the show this week. She’s 50 years old, divorced five years, and she’s struggling with how to find love after her divorce. Her only relationship post-divorce lasted six months, and it wasn’t fulfilling. She wants to know if she’s emotionally unavailable. During our live session on Last First Date Radio, she revealed where her fear of abandonment comes from, and how that fear has shielded her from the love she’s seeking.

Listen as I coach her live on air to help her get unstuck and finally attract and create the love she wants.
