#170: Dating Q&A: Early Dating with Anxious Attachment, Navigating Texting Anxiety, Not Attaching Too Quickly, Prioritising Values Over Chemistry
About this episode
In this Q&A episode, I’m answering your most common questions about early dating—particularly through the lens of anxious attachment. If dating feels like a minefield of overthinking, anxiety, and emotional highs and lows, this episode is for you.
We’ll explore:
- Early dating dynamics: Navigating the vulnerability and uncertainty that comes with getting to know someone new.
- Not attaching too quickly: Why it happens for those with anxious attachment and how to pace yourself emotionally.
- Texting anxiety: How to manage the discomfort of waiting for replies and keep yourself grounded.
- Values over chemistry: Why prioritising what truly matters can help you avoid unhealthy patterns and feel more secure.
