I'll let you in on a little secret about dating…

Knowing what to do and being able to do it when you're actually with someone are two completely different things.

You can read the books.

Listen to the podcasts.

Learn about attraction, communication and attachment styles.

You can know exactly what a healthy relationship should look like.

And then you sit across from someone you're attracted to…

…and suddenly, all that knowledge can go right out the window.

You overthink what to say.

You try to make a good impression.

You wonder if they're interested.

You hold back what you're really thinking.

You say yes when you actually mean maybe.

Or you find yourself doing something you've promised yourself you wouldn't do again.

That's what fascinates me.

Because there are things about dating that you simply can't learn by reading about them.

You have to experience them.

And lately, I've been exploring a very different way of looking at dating.

I've been creating something behind the scenes that I'm calling Explorations.

I'm not quite ready to tell you what they are yet.

But I can tell you this:

They've made me question some of what we assume we already know about attraction and connection.

And I have a feeling they might make you question it too.

More soon.

Hugs,
Elizabeth
