Hi, How old are you? I would guess early 40's?
@deliteful19913 жыл бұрын
I thought dating older would be better but most of these men come with emotional distress and not financially stable. They don’t have cars,renting rooms, have roommates, credit scores in the toilet, fake entrepreneurs,baby momma drama,& etc….it’s too much. I’m more attentive and pay attention to red flags quicker. Say less and listen more.

Just got onto the video and not sure if it will be mentioned but I'm an introvert yet I meet alot of people through dancing. I dance salsa, bachata, merengue, and cumbia. I had to take salsa classes because that it the most difficult Latin dance but the others I learned in my culture/Latin night/Latin clubs. You can find instructors and classes (like zumba) on Facebook. You can even go to neighboring cities and attend salsa/bachata festivals and congresses. It's really a great way to meet people, stress relief, language exchange, stay in shape, and work on your femininity. I started taking dancing more seriously at 23, I'm 28 now.

Amazing content Dr Nina. One thing that I've learned in therapy is that I need to hold myself accountable for being a codependent. Codependents attract narcissists. When you know yourself, you can protect yourself. You can do better. My vibrations are on another level lately, helping me separate myself from what is not for me. Congrats on your engagement 🥰

Girl dating over 30 is the complete DEVIL!!! I just stopped dating because of all the horrible experiences. I moved abroad about 3 week ago, but I haven't started anything since i'm so focused on my career. I know I manifested my career but for some reason I haven't been able to focus enough on a partner to manifest a desired relationship were we are both aligned. I completely agree with your video, it honestly takes maturity to look within and to really think about what you truly want in a person and also what you can offer the type of person you want. Thank you so much for sharing!

Thanks Dr. Nina!! Great!! Great advice and tips!! Wish I had some of your advice 30 years ago, would have saved me a whole lot of heartache. I am re-entering the dating pool and dating again after my divorce a year ago. It is so scary and extremely intimidating getting back out there after being in a relationship for almost 25 years and married for 17 of those years to the same person. I am definitely doing things so differently this time. What I can say for certain is, that I know who I am now. I know what I deserve and what I am not going to negotiate or compromise on. I can say that with maturity in age and life experiences, comes wisdom. I also agree with many of the things you stated, for example, "don't lose yourself in a relationship," & "financial stability is one of my top non negotiables period." You just have to stand firm on what you want and what you are not willing to accept.

This girls BAD FRUIT (HER OWN ACTIONS AND WORDS SIN) expose her! The Bible (Jesus ) says, know each tree by the fruit they bare. Good trees CAN'T produce bad fruit and bad trees CAN'T produce good fruit. Good trees ONLY produce good fruit and bad trees ONLY produce bad fruit. As a tree is identified by their its fruit a person can be identified by their actions (and words). Out of the heart the mouth speaks. Stop showing this girl favoritism and partiality which is not Gods love but disobedience and sin! Lastly, she serves MONEY not the Lord and you cant do both! Money is her lil g god. Thats who she's describing every time she mentions g-o-d not the One True Living God who hates sin!

One of my TOP red flags is if you ask a man how his Mom is doing and he always says something negative about her or calls her out of her name, RUN!!! He will SURELY disrespect you!!! This same man often refers to nearly every woman negatively, he uses the word ‘Bitch’ several times a day in reference to almost any and every woman, friends, relatives and strangers …. He really doesn’t like women at all, whether he has admitted or even recognized this or not, not meaning he’s gay, but he has seriously animosity towards the entire gender, for reasons that may be deep seeded or on the surface….. This man could prove to be both emotionally and physically a danger and a definite disruption in a woman’s life. It’s the makings of the worst and most toxic relationship she may ever encounter…..This man will not change without professional help and consistent therapy hours and if a woman doesn’t end this type of relationship upon discovery of these issues, she too will find herself in need of a mental health professional Again Ladies, RUN, don’t walk!!!

I'm 33 and haven't been in a "relationship" since I was 21. I did do him wrong but I know now that it was because I had social anxiety back then. Also, He wanted to do everything for me but I wouldn't let him like going out to eat etc. so I pushed him away. Also, I cheated on him with my neighbor because of looks and I believe that's why I have been getting played ever since. All the men I meet want to do is have sex. I've been taken advantage of by every man I've tried to date ever since and I'm lucky I don't have a disease. But, I finally put my foot down at 29 and just went celibate and I have decided to remain single for the rest of my life unless someone really good comes along💜
