I don't want you guys to feel you need to disclose your life story on a first date because when I do get feedback the next day, one person said: great date, I really liked them, I can't wait to see them again.
Ever wondered how to navigate the dating world while staying sober? In this episode of 'Sober Sisters Talk', hosts Elizabeth Pudwill and M.G. sit down with Jennifer Champion, the mastermind behind Date Shape, to tackle this very question. Jennifer, a seasoned matchmaker and singles recruiter, brings a wealth of knowledge and a fun perspective to the conversation. Jennifer shares her top tips for creating a solid dating plan.
She emphasizes the importance of chemistry and shared values, recommending two lists: one for must-have values and another for interests. This approach helps you find someone who aligns with your core beliefs and passions. And yes, it's okay to talk about tricky topics like politics and religion early on! Safety is another big topic. Jennifer offers practical advice like setting up video dates and meeting in public places.
Trusting your gut and taking things slow are key points she stresses, helping you stay safe while getting to know someone new. The episode also introduces the 'Baskin Robbins approach' to dating. The idea? Not every date will be your favorite flavor, and that's perfectly fine. Going in with managed expectations can save you from unnecessary disappointment.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been sober for years, this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you navigate the dating scene. So tune in and get ready to date with confidence and clarity!
