Be Receptive

Dating Tip: Be Open to Receiving. Be Open to Receiving. We’ve all learned it’s better to give than receive. But, in dating, we have to learn how to receive the ❤️ love we know we deserve ❤️. That includes emotional support. Our society has conditioned too many of us to over-give and under-receive. And unfortunately, the takers out there have noticed.

The solution is not to stop giving. Giving IS good for all of us. Instead, if you are an over-giver, practice receiving with grace and without qualification. Start small by receiving compliments that you don’t dismiss. Build up to gifts, and then try receiving emotional support from family and friends. Balance for giving and receiving is important in any relationship.

(And don't focus on the takers. When dating, I can teach you a method to help you match, so that you can continue to give, and receive.)
