Flirtini #3: Genuine Interest vs. Delulu in Dating
Manage episode 446452319 series 3577628
Flirty! Do you like them? Or are you delulu?!
In this Flirtini, I share how you can tell the difference!
First, we focus on delulu, shorthand for delusion, as we also bring in obsession, infatuation, and limerence for this part of the discussion! I think all of these states and experiences are cut from the same cloth and right at the top, I share exactly what it means to be delulu - and why we go there!
Then, I talk about what it means to have genuine interest for someone, what that looks like in dating, and how that interest is developed.
I also cover the different dating behaviors that are involved in delulu vs. genuine interest, or HOW each looks in dating, and what to look for from the people you date to see where they're at, too.
Finally, I don't think this Flirtini would be complete without brining anxiety into the conversation, so we'll round out this one with what to do when anxiety seems to take over.
