Donāt get me wrong, I absolutely believe you can feel something the moment you meet someone.
Attraction, chemistry, energyā¦a gut feeling of āthereās something about youā¦ā
I actually felt something from the moment I matched with my partner Steve.
But loveā¦I believe that takes time.
Because in those early stages, it can be VERY easy to confuse intense attraction and chemistry with a deeper connection that hasnāt actually had time to develop yet.
And when you REALLY like someone, those rose-coloured glasses can make it much easier to overlook things you need to be paying attention to.
Because you donāt know someone from how they make you feel on date one.
You get to know them by watching how they show up over time.
Do their actions match their words?
Are they consistent?
How do they communicate when something is uncomfortable?
Do they respect your boundaries?
How do they handle disappointment or conflict?
Are they still the same person once the initial excitement settles?
That information takes TIME to reveal itself.
I know how tempting it is to feel an incredible connection and want to jump straight in. Iāve done it too.
But these days, I believe in something much steadier.
Attraction AND observation.
Chemistry AND discernment.
Butterflies AND taking your time.
You can enjoy that incredible feeling without deciding after three dates that youāve found your person.
Let the connection unfold.
Let him show you who he is.
And remember, youāre still deciding whether HE is right for YOU. š
