How to be Emotionally Independent and why Emotional Independence Will Change your Dating Life
Guess what? We (our brains) decide what makes us happy, not exterior circumstances.
"I'll be happy when..." is a myth.
Now is the time to embrace freedom... freedom from emotional reactivity, distraction, feelings of inadequacy, emotional enmeshment and fully taking on our own responsibility to act.
Here's how emotional independence will change, not only how you approach your romantic life, but how you are present in your every day life.

    Great insight Delphine! I was recently at a get together with old friends/acquaintances I hadn't seen in years. Although I had a great time, I was still "in my head" most of the time because I cared too much about their approval. Definitely won't make that same mistake in the future. By relying on others' approval for our self-esteem, we're enslaving ourselves to their opinions and emotions. Life's too short to be a slave 👍

I am on the overweight side I have lost 90 pounds and need about 15 more to go to feel more comfortable but with all the weight I have lost I do have loose skin and look "weird" for people my age. I have always told myself I was undateable due to being bullied, my dating experiences, and the media. But, this video is a reminder that no matter what I look like or where I am in life I am dateable. I look around and see so many people of different shapes sizes and backgrounds in relationships so if it can happen to them it can happen to me as well.

    I think this would be good advice if we lived in the 1990’s. There is a reason that most young men these days are single. Women are just not interested us. Lots of us are completely undateable. Working on yourself is probably a good idea but doing it with the aim to find a relationship is just rejection but with extra steps.

I tried my best for 15 years and ive had 10 dates in total in the time, but every single time the woman says "im a nice guy, but I dont feel a spark". I never get a second date. Ive basically given up on finding love even tho I still want it, becauae no woman has ever wanted me or find me attractive even tho I do my best to be a good man, I will be single forever, im undatable. Do you have any advice?

    healthy relationships are boring and reciprocal, unhealthy relationships are dramatic and one-sided. if someone is treating you abnormally well or abnormally poorly you should be suspicious. cancelling plans and/or asking for favors are good tests as unhealthy people are pretty inflexible and won't deal well with being rejected or put upon.

    I think there's not a lot of matchmaking, because people don't know single Christian men or women to suggest to the other! But I know you said it's a tangent at the end there, but I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on attraction! I find that really difficult to determine myself, unless I get to know someone and have a strong emotional connection with them (I think this is called demiromantic/demisexual). So, I fall into this weird place of where I find out a Christian guy might be single and maybe make effort to try to get to know him better, but I also don't want to lead him on, since I don't know if I actually will be attracted to him.

    Yes Delphine, more guests would be great! Enjoyed listening to Pete's perspective 👍 In my experience, women are naturally adept at giving signals. All that's changed (as Pete alluded to) is women's increased standards have resulted in an increasingly tiny percentage of men that women deem worthy of giving signals to. Unless this reality changes, the only long-term outcome is polygamy.

    • @delphinediscusses
      @delphinediscusses 29 дней назад

      I'm so glad other perspectives are helpful. I'm going to wrangle more people on. I'm sorry to hear you think that and I must politely and personally disagree. I know a lot of women who don't feel equipped (yet) to show men they might be interested through any type of "hint" or "sign". I think the digital age has made us a lot more socially inept at times and we've all lost social confidence in general. Phones, headphones etc are all barriers to us having normal, sporadic conversations in our communities and it's happening less and less. Monogamy and the sacred institution of marriage will always be a beautiful God-given gift to us! Anything else is a rip-off of the real thing.

    • @logicwins3492
      @logicwins3492 29 дней назад

      ​@delphinediscusses I appreciate that response. My belief is that when a society abandons religion, monogamy is typically abandoned as well. Base instincts (men wanting multiple women, women wanting the best possible mate at the cost of having to share that mate with multiple other women) take over. Religion will be essential if we want monogamy to exist going forward.

      I'd say don't let that hold you back as you may also be called to help women understand their own dignity and about the sanctity of the marital act! The virtues of chastity is learned and not born and while dating, you will inevitably have conversations about values and virtues, and be able to see if you're aligned on the same foundations. Don't let this worry hold you back from initiating something, just ensure it is something you bring up soon into dating someone to ensure there is alignment and understanding.

    I enjoy your message, though I would think that getting into writing or video-making wouldn't make for the best hobby/endeavour for a single person looking to meet their match, considering those activities are not the most conducive to meeting people, and might even stop you from putting yourself out there. Then again, you might argue that at the end of the day, any choice we make changes the path we tread and whose roads it'll cross. Btw it's definitely a recurring issue for enduring singles that their friends who are appaired struggle to empathize with how hard it can be to not have someone by your side, because it often just happened to them rather than being the result of a committed search. PS : I don't know what healing you sought in your prayers, but I will definitely pray for you to get it.

      I think you have a great in! Do you both attend coffee after Mass? You could approach her and say "hey. I think I've seen you at my gym as well as here. I'm Juan... etc etc" Just very unassuming and friendly but this shows that you've noticed her and will hopefully help spark conversation and friendship between you two. How exciting!

      ​@@delphinediscusses No, we only see each other at the gym-when I go in the mornings, which isn’t often-and at Mass on Sundays. After that, we don’t see each other, so it hurts when I watch her leave without talking to her. That's why I've started socializing more with both men and women, whether at the gym or elsewhere, to build my confidence. This way, when I see her again, it’ll be easier to talk. I'll keep you updated and will apply your advice.Thank you​

      My advice, stop letting it weigh on your mind so hard, just say something to her and if you get bad vibes then she's probably not being inviting and you will know to move on without having to even get crushed by asking her out. I think your motive should be to get her off your mind because she is a distraction until you check her off your to do list. And don't take rejection as a self inflection, there's so many other reasons she would reject you other than setting being wrong with you so get that out if your mind.

    I was raised in the church but struggle to call myself a believer due to the bureaucratic history of the religion. I think there is immense value in religious teachings morally regardless. I really wish people in general put as much thought into this as you have. I believe that waiting until marriage for sexual intimacy is the best decision for a long lasting relationship, but I strongly disagree with most typical Christian reasons for doing so. A fear of God and going to hell creates a taboo around sex which prevents many of these couples from talking about sex before they are married (something absolutely necessary if you're going to wait) and sometimes carries over to become an issue within the marriage as well (purity culture shame/deadbedrooms). Religious circles are also filled with young couples getting married quickly because they prayed and "God told them this is the one" when in reality many are just filled with lust and have not taken nearly enough time to get to know each other before pulling the trigger. I watched in real time how this can turn out poorly through my older sister's marriage and divorce. On the secular side people often try and warn against waiting, but I believe that when both people are committed to being the best partner they can be for the other person then sexual compatability is mostly a myth. Physical intimacy can have infinite forms so unless you are stricly incompatible from a sexuality or baseline physical attraction point I think most issues of sexual compatibility are actually just issues of unwillingness to communicate/improve/compromise on the side of one partner or both. I find myself in this position where I have preferences that are most likely to be shared by a religious person, but know I am not equally yoked. At times I consider going back to church and just pretending to believe it all so that I can find a person with similar enough values to marry, but doing so would be incredibly deceitful and I can hardly imagine a solid foundation for building a life partnership. I also can't just date around until I find a virgin because my reasons for waiting are barely related to being a virgin itself. I'm 24 now and I'm sure there are women out there with values that match mine, but it seems impossible that we would ever meet. I live in America where even the religious people barely wait until marriage. Add to that that I live in a relatively small town where there is hardly anyone in my age range that I have not already met and it really starts to feel impossible. I dated people before who didn't have the same values and it ended really poorly so I told myself that I wouldn't do that again, but now it's been over five years and there is just no one to even try with. Perhaps the worst part is that I am "blessed" to be incredibly comfortable alone, so I dont even have the motivator of loneliness to force me to lower my "standards". I never pictured my life without getting married but I don't see a path forward that realistically leads to that.

      Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on here. Firstly, don't be discouraged, it sounds as if you are incredibly self--aware and DO have a vision for the kind of marriage you hope to have (especially having seen the wrong kinds of marriages in your life already) which is a beautiful thing at your age. I certainly wasn't as enlightened in my early 20s! I have heard of "purity culture" and actually did a video for a Christian Dating App about the problem with it: ruclips.net/video/melquFBJGV4/видео.html (Basically everything you have outlined above) But please don't let man's interpretation of God and God's Word put you off Christianity!! Perhaps you haven't found the right denomination or the right community yet. I would really recommend books like 'Men, Women and the Mystery of Love by Dr. Edward Sri' it's based on 'Theology of the Body' which is a beautiful deep dive into sexuality as God intended it.

      Some people have a soul and can actually think for themselves, some can't. Obviously, you're one of those who cannot, which makes you easily brainwashed. Religion in a nutshell.

    Delphine, if I think you’re gorgeous all the way from the United States someone close to you definitely feels the same way. It’s just good men shy away from asking because they’re tired of rejection.

      Well, that is very kind of you to say! Thank you! And a good perspective for me to understand. I am thinking about digging into how women can really give men a "green light" that they'd like to be chased/pursued by them. It's looking like women need to do more than "drop the hanky" these days and maybe even do the initial approach. What do you think?

      @@delphinediscusses Approaching a man is normal. In fact, that’s what you should be doing because friendship comes before relationship. If you want friends then show yourself friendly. Whoever doesn’t want friendship before relationship is approaching every relationship from a lustful mindset. Leave them alone because relationships don’t work out when it starts with a lustful mindset.

    A bit belated of a comment, but I would add one thing : make him feel singled-out rather than behaving in such a way that you might very well just be polite and amicable. The last time I felt that way was when a girl kept telling me "hello *given name*" as opposed to just "hello" (well it turns out she wasn't interested or lost interest by the time I got to offering her a date... but it sure got my attention).

      Our culture/generation[s] have really seemed to have lost this art of flirting! I completely understand your conundrum and you are not alone - this has become a societal issue.... Men not asking women out. There's a stat that 55% of 18-30 year old men have not approached a woman within the last year, yet 77% of women the same age wished they were approached more. It seems that 'dropping the hanky' might not be enough anymore! I'm going to look into how we can 'give a green light' and even do the initial approach to encourage a man to chase/pursue us. Gosh, it's a jungle!

    I really want kids and to start a family! It saddens me that most people in the modern world have disregarded their families and starting one of their own. I used to also be of this opinion making all kinds of excuses such as I can't afford it or what not but ever since I had a perspective shift by becoming closer with God, I realise whats more important to me. I pray I can find an equally faithful Christian wife. I don't care if I have to lower my standard of living or make sacrifices for my wife and children because its so worth it in the end
