Dating with clarity around your desires in love – an article for the woman desiring to attract a partner who is a vibrational match to her core values.

~~~

For a couple of weeks during the pandemic years I spent in India, I once tried exploring what online dating looked in that part of the world.

One of the dating matches I connected with was a CEO of a popular digital marketing firm in the country. 

Within five mins of speaking with him on the phone, I knew I was never going to see this man in real life.

On the outside, he had everything going great. He was extremely well spoken, well educated, drop-dead handsome and had overflowing resources in his life- everything that would be enough for a woman desiring to lead a life of comfort.

But his core values- that were screaming through the way he spoke about himself and the world- were in complete dissonance with mine. 

I could so easily imagine the life I would be living if I was to say yes to seeing this man who I can tell you would have proposed to me within the next few months. 

But just the idea of that life repelled me at every level of my being. Sure, he was a commitment-minded man. But that wasn’t enough for me to give him a chance?!

When he asked me when he could see me (for the third time in that call), I had to decline his invitation. And I told him why. 

What he said in return made my heart both swell in pride and heave a sigh of relief at the same time, reaffirming my faith in this work I do as a feminine embodiment practitioner.

To quote his actual response, “Well, I wonder what makes you think we want different things from life. But thanks for being so decisive and letting me know. This is the most sincere conversation I’ve ever had with a dating match.”

In a few seconds, I realised what a favour I had done to this man and most of all to ME!  Saving us both days, weeks and for all you know, months of agony and misery. 

In my experience of working with women,

I have noticed how it isn’t for the lack of our decisiveness that we say yes to men with traits we don’t want.

It is our :

1. lack of clarity around what we truly, truly desire in love and in life, and 

2. lack of self worth, that feeling of “who am I to want more”, that leads us to settle for whatever ‘decent’ comes along. 

Becoming clear on what our heart TRULY desires and dating from that place is one of the biggest acts of self-service we can participate in. 

Let us understand this with an example.

So I invite you to think of an instance when you’re preparing to go to someplace new (and exciting). 

Imagine getting in your car, starting the engine and getting on the main road not knowing how to get there. You could keep driving, blindly guessing the routes, the directions. You would get lost on your way, feel utterly confused and eventually frustrated, right? 

The initial excitement of reaching this destination would turn into complete disappointment. You would be exhausted and put off this visit to another day, another time. 

But what if you had entered the destination in your GPS and then followed that route? Everything would look so different, wouldn’t it? 

All you’d have to do is relax in your driving seat and let the directions on the navigation app guide you until you reach your destination. 

You could apply the same example to when you get in a cab and let the driver know where you want to go. The driver would use his knowledge about the routes or use the GPS to comfortably get you where you want to go.

Let’s apply this to your dating life now.

Your journey towards the love you desire feels similar when you have made it clear to yourself what values you really want in a romantic partner. 

The clearer you can get about your values, preferences, desires, the easier it becomes to get to your destination. This clarity stays with your consciousness (and your subconscious) acting like your inner GPS guiding you on your path to a blissful, ease and fun-filled love life. 

The courage to follow through on what you really want in your (love) life comes from embodying your feminine essence of enough-ness and belief in your desired vision. 

You can use this sense of enough-ness to-

..zoom out & look at the bigger picture of your love life,

..connect with your deepest desires, and

..make your dating decisions + choices from that place.
