About this episode
Getting your needs met is hot. What’s not hot is when your emotional or physical needs (or both!) are neglected. One listener is grappling with this issue, questioning whether to give a man a second chance after a real first date fail, especially as she navigates dating after a sexless marriage.
In this episode, Erin is drawing from her own experiences and shares the importance of prioritizing our own needs and self-worth in casual dating, and to avoid settling for less than you deserve. Join us as we discuss:
- Prioritizing emotional care and connection in addition to physical intimacy
- Trusting your instincts and prioritizing your well-being, particularly if an encounter leaves you feeling empty or degraded.
- Communicating your needs and being prepared to move on if they're not met.
- Recognizing your worth and refusing to accept poor treatment, even in casual relationships.
