  • What’s stopping you from dating, really?
    Finding the right partner with the number of dating apps, expectations (real and made up), and pressure we put on ourselves around a single date makes it near impossible. Maybe we’re making this harder than it needs to be.
    Dating expert, Christina Najjar, a.k.a. Tinx, one of Forbes 2022 Top Creators, and author of, The Shift, A Guide to Dating, Self Worth & Becoming the Main Character of Your Life, Change Your Perspective, Not Yourself, is here to lighten your dating mood and give you the play by play to make this enjoyable and less stressful.
    Tinx has over half a million instagram followers and hosts her own podcast/radio show called Its Me Tinx Her advice is spot on with the twist of humor we all need. In this girl talk with Lisa, Tinx gives insights and advice on dating for your benefit.
    Tinx explains the Box Theory that is a dating power boost:
    - Why dating is a vibe check and if he doesn’t pass, move on!
    - How to trade future “tripping” for a “we’ll see” outlook for better dates
    - What to do about f*ck boys, being ghosted, and driving yourself crazy
    - How to know if he’s really interested or just love bombing you
    What could be better than loving your life and dating because you're confident in who you are, what you want, and having fun because you’re stressed over forcing yourself to fit into an unmatched vibe check with the wrong partner?
    QUOTES:
    “If someone doesn’t receive your message in the way you intended it, they probably aren’t for you, and that’s okay.”
    “We’re in the midst of a paradigm shift with dating. I think that social media, I think that apps have made it very stressful,very complicated.”
    “If someone likes you, they’re trying to spend time with you.”

    Just a reminder for other women out there that change is possible! You CAN be that girl who does the picking, prioritizes discernment over feelings, and can sense a noncommittal man from a mile away. What it really takes is knowing your boundaries and what behavior you will/will not tolerate before connecting with someone. This makes it easier to walk away from someone who is only giving you the bare minimum

      @amalduale_ Рік тому +2

      As long as you are communicating in plain English what your needs are and that certain topics are off limits. Setting and keeping healthy boundaries for you to be safe happy and healthy. So for example with my family mother in particular I've said to her that my weight or relationship status is not up for discussion. If it does come up, I gently remind them again that in order for me to feel safe and not triggered my weight and relationship status are not up for discussion. Several times I've stood up and simply walked away.
      It's very basic but if your loved ones really care about you as much as you think. Set clear boundaries. Sadly you might have to cut certain people from your life. Your safety and mental health matters and if they can't abide by two simple rules for your well being, then do they really care as much as they say they do?? Its about setting and reaffirming your own personal boundaries in every context or relationship. That way you can show up as yourself every single time and you'll never be uncomfortable or silently suffering. That way your an active agent in your life rather than a sitting duck.

    KEEP SEX OUT of the beginning of the getting to Know WHO HE IS. Is he worthy of your TIME ENERGY and money??
    Dignity is seriously important.
    Do not allow your person to be disrespected, USED, EXPLOITED during dating. Becareful. Emotional health, Physical harms. Internal female body organs become damaged from
    Harmful behaviors. Be whole complete beautiful person. Valued, BE grateful you r healthy.

    It’s not just the difference in pay that constitutes the need for men to pay, it’s the difference between what men and women bring to the table. Women enliven men with our beauty and energy. They fill up on our femininity. I don’t receive nourishment and deep emotional understanding of who I am from men to the degree that I provide it. I get that from my girlfriends - women provide that for each other. Men are sustained by and have a deep longing to experience feminine energy. The nature of the encounter is inherently different and men paying is a reflection of that energy exchange

When you're a real woman and you know what you want and sexual desire is a enormous part of us- to simply ignore it, is absolutely ridiculous advice- just be picky on who you choose and a man should be doing the same damn thing--- but Society has indoctrinated the human male to be absolutely honorless, and non-Discerning as one can get, and let's not forget with a depravity that knows NO BOTTOM TO IT!! That's what's really going on here , but nobody wants to address that problem! And I'll be damned if Im going to pay for that by lessoning this life that i was given by denying my desires!

Some men who are sexually desirable and otherwise pleasing arent actually husband material. I think women have the ability to make that discernment, and then choose what to do with the men they encounter accordingly. Not everyone is dating for marraige 🤷‍♀️

      I agree with you. What terrible, feminist advice. Not sleeping with men is not strategy or manipulation. It’s called self-respect and taking things slowly. Men RESPECT that highly! Don’t divulge all your crazy to anyone on a first date or even just hanging out with new friends. Mystery is appealing to all. Have some privacy and wait to divulge because it may not be necessary. Listen to podcasts and men say they can’t find nice women because of this bad advice. Encourage women to be vulnerable, secure in themselves, educated but at the same time feminine and kind. RC Blakes was on her show and spoke truth about men. She has some other good anecdotes and some general points we women experience but overall I would just look at this as her personal experience.

    Something to note though: showing your worst self right off a lot of times could turn someone off… it’s been said, it is like a producer showing someone their new movie but saying “this part I really messed up” before letting you just judge for yourself… you go in looking for the bad. It is a self-sabotage mechanism to show yourself bad, and it helps to not do that but let someone see you, without oversharing. They’re not therapists also…
    Give them a chance to just see you and like you. It will help.. After a while you can start to share your vulnerabilities… lightly, as they would theirs (in a healthy growing relationship)

    Super silly, overly simplificated theory, has nth to do with human experience and psychology. Humans emotions, feelings towards others and beliefs change through out time. Human dynamics are fluent. Most of it is not abdruptly changing but some are (so called 'passionate relationships). I know a plenty of people who changed their mind about the person their are dating both ways: fell in live in time or fell out of it. And how this lady is going to explain divorces or even a break up of a long term relationships? That it was 'decided from the beggining', that the guy spends years of him time, money, effort just to 'fool a woman'? And woman also are lying to the guys for years? This whole theory is so childlish and clickbaity, I'm impressed by Lisa's patience and poker face.

    Very interesting conversation! I disagree with her on a lot but I think a lot of her advice speaks to women who get obsessed too quickly. For instance, making an ick list might be very helpful to women blinded by attraction/love. I’m not convinced it would help me. I also don’t agree with her approach to lay all her flaws on the first date but it’s very interesting nonetheless to hear her approach!!❤

    The box theory is actually divided in 2:
    Romantic interest or sexual object.
    Romantic interest means he wants to be romantically linked with you therefore the woman is considered 'marriage material'.
    The category of 'sexual object' means the woman is basically seen as an appliance of one use only (ONS), fuckbuddies, fwb or placeholder relationship (when it looks like it's a serious relationship but he's still waiting for something better to come along).
    And yes, men decide that on first sight. They also consider all women using dating apps as 'sexual objects' because that was their intent of joining the app and would never seen as something different.

      I agree with you. I’ve dated a lot in my 35 years, and have been through a lot with men. I used to look at things so black and white like this but matters of the heart are not something you can place in boxes and label them. It’s messy sometimes and there are a lot of gray areas because we’re human beings. Men do change their minds, they do go through periods where they have no clue what they want and actually do come back to a certain woman later on. Of course, never ever wait on a man. I’m just saying it’s not as easy as “if he doesn’t do this or that, he’s written you off forever or has placed you in the hookup box or non-serious box or whatever.” Love yourself and don’t settle for less than what you know you deserve, but also don’t throw in the towel and give up on someone super quick just because they’re going slower than you think they should and haven’t figured out if they want to date you just yet. It doesn’t always mean they’re players or wasting your time. And like she says, you have to be figuring out whether you want to date them or not too :)

      ​@@KeysToTheHeartIf we are talking about men and not teenagers there are definitely boxes. Consider 25+.
      There are basically 2 categories: romantic interest (marriage material) and sexual object.
      And men decid this on first sight, a slow one might take a couple of dates to be sure.
      The thing is that the sexual object is in an spectrum. He might look at you and think 'smash and dump' but if he's bored you might become a bootycall or fwb, and if he's bored and sees other advantages you might become a placeholder girlfriend but you'll never be a romantic interest.
      And yes, all men work like that. A man might even marry a sexual object if it's convenient for him and his romantic interest is out of reach or he never met her.

The answers to be found are way behind the superficial sleep around and understanding man behaviors. Another thing to be look at - Narcissism is intensively present nowadays and that’s a fact.

    Interesting and a bit more controversial this time. I wouldn‘t say „men should always pay, because they are paid more.“ I‘d say, whoever invites to that location should clarify in advance. In my culture there are two words for „invite“ one means „I invite you and pay“ the other means „come join me (and pay for yourself)“ So whatever invite you give and would accept, that sets the whole expectation for that evening. So both men and women can pay. That depends on who initiated the evening. No one should take any offense in anything. It‘s just a gesture. People should be more grateful for whatever someone is willing to do for them, instead of feeling attacked because of their low self esteem or complex. I am a woman myself and to me, everyone is human. There is no „men should, women should“. Do what the fuck you want and if it feels right then perfect. Pass the vibe check, be yourself, be self aware, recognize manipulation and be confident enough to back up into your own independence when the other person turns out to be a prick. Woman or man.

Insecure attachment is the source of all relationship problems. And worse, insecure people attract other insecure people. Always a recipe for codependency and disaster.

    Yes women will text guys who don’t appear to be interested because they can’t handle rejection. And if you’re a woman who is used to getting attention you’ll continue to try and get the guy who gives you no validation which can lead to chasing a possible unhealthy man…

      If that's what you need to do to build yourself back again do it. When you're ready to date again then you'll be out and strong and know what you want uour boundaries etc. I have been divorced 9 years I took me years taking care of myself now I'm ready it feels great. I date a lot but nothing I like yet 😅 one date half a date and I'm back home I won't give up I refuse

    Also in regards to guys being “scared” to pay…. Here’s an idea, before they ask for the clack they say the following to the date, “I’m having a great time with you tonight, and I would love to pay for dinner if that’s alright with you.” Then a conversation can be had… and it doesn’t become this awkward encounter.

    Psyychologists say that it depends in which phase the man is in.Is he in the ONE NIGHT STAND PHASE..then he sees you as a One night stand.this lady is very right!!!

    Hi 👋 I love the conversation, this topic is interesting to me and I kinda need the refresher too.
    I am wondering though, why some women won't be the one to message the next morning after a first date, even though they might be hoping he does?
    I'm assuming there is a reason and it must be valid, however my personal view is that there is no difference who does this first. I like that message aswell, but wouldn't hold back from messaging first.

      But what if your date asked? Do you lie? How would you answer them?
