Ep. #48: Coming Out Late & Scared to Date, Part 1
Episode description
In this episode, Robin ventures into new territory and initiates an impromptu group discussion recorded in Zoom, around a topic that seems to be on everybody’s mind lately - navigating dating after coming out late. Whether you are newly out and have never dated a woman, or have had your share of dating experiences, this two-part series titled, “Coming Out Late & Scared to Date”, addresses four basic foundational questions we ALL should be asking ourselves, as well as a whole range of topics, things to consider, and lots to reflect on.
In this episode, you will learn to question and explore . . .
- Have you tried dating yet? And if so, what was that experience like?
- What does “dating” mean to you? How do you define “dating”?
- If you met yourself on a dating app or “in-the-wild”, would YOU date “you”?
- What are the red flags you should concern yourself with and how/when should you handle them?
- Dating is never a waste of time, and shall always be looked upon as gaining experience and insight into yourself.
- How much of your past relationships and experiences and childhood impact your approach to dating and the kind of girlfriend you make?
- What are some basic questions we should be asking ourselves and our dates, before and upon-entering into the “dating arena”?
- One late bloomer’s categorization of the various types of women who are putting themselves “out there” and claiming they’re ‘ready’ to date.
- And so much more in this riveting two-part series on “Dating”.
