My advice would be to not chase people who don't want to be chased, because that's just creepy, but like having like a two strike or three strike rule, where if you've tried to initiate and try to ask someone out and they haven't replied or fobbed you off or whatever, taking that as the sign rather than pursuing it until they have to go.
Starting a new chapter in life is never easy, especially when it involves dating after addiction. In this eye-opening episode of 'Hooked: The Unexpected Addicts', hosts Melissa Rice and Jade Wye dive into the rollercoaster world of sober dating. Joined by journalist Alex Cooper, they candidly discuss the unique challenges and emotional hurdles that come with finding love while staying clean and sober. Ever wondered how to build trust when your past is complicated?
Or how to be authentic in a world full of curated dating profiles? Melissa, Jade, and Alex tackle these questions head-on, sharing their own stories and offering practical advice. They explore the anxiety of starting over, the importance of waiting before jumping into new relationships, and the risks of dating too soon after recovery. With humor and raw honesty, they also touch on setting boundaries and the 'two-strike or three-strike' rule for dealing with red flags.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone in recovery looking to navigate the dating scene with confidence and authenticity.
