My Horrific Dating Storytime ... and the date that made me realize I was settling

[@ki.caassh115]

this video was so chaotic in the best wayyy “petty labelle.. he was a BUM.. is it my birth chart or am i just stupid? sound off in the comments” lmfaooo i just love you dakotaaa 💕

[@DakotaaCross]

If you made it to the end and heard about the date …..Not too much y’all😂😂 I’ll give updates when I can but I’m Happy for the time being ❤

[@victoriaxbeck]

That’s all that matters love!!!

[@hayleebondora2827]

Thank you for the reminder of recognizing good when we’re so used to chaos and uncertainty in men. Love you girl!

[@girlloveshemp642]

First video I’ve watched of yours and you are awesome!!! Great vid. Love your personality.

[@girlloveshemp642]

Also your comment about people not cringing when they hear Trump but cringing when they hear moist is so on point. Made me adore you more.

[@KaitlynCharlene]

The end of this video gave me goosebumps. Watching your growth in real time is so cool. Thanks for being here

[@DakotaaCross]

Thank YOU for being here 🥺❤️ appreciate you so much my love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰

[@juliafaye8764]

That “peace” you’re feeling, is the same feeling I felt (& feel) when I started dating my boyfriend. It was this overwhelming feeling of just peace and comfort. Now, he’s saving up for a ring, we’ve done premarital counseling, and we’ve never felt so sure about anything. It TRULY is that “when you know, you know” feeling

[@ea144]

I found you literally only a few weeks ago. I’m married with four kids and the juicy drama you dish gives me LIFE! I’ve been binge watching you ever since I found you and girl, you have turned into my favorite KZbinr for sure! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@DakotaaCross]

Ahhhhhh this is such an amazing compliment thank you so much my love you made my whole night !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kianaraymond3012]

Yes!!!! To the you are not what you attract but what you entertain!!!! Me and my counselor go back and forth with this so much! I’m so not bending on this lol!

[@mashae.1066]

Yes!

[@oliviarenaud4814]

[@oliviarenaud4814]

[@randomsthingsandstuff9285]

CHILE....I just discovered your channel probably last week and I've been binge watching your stories. In fact, I've stopped watching all my other gworls and have just been watching you. And I cannot believe you have blessed us with a new storytime. I'm soooo happy!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰😍🤗🤗🤗💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾.

[@annelise5834]

im so happy you posted dakota 🥺 im going through a really tough time in my relationship and i’m going through a really low point in my mind and emotions and i haven’t had the energy to eat or do anything or watch tv. But now you posted and this is the only thing i’ve wanted to watch in the last two days ❤️ love you girl i appreciate your content!

[@ddawson_907]

Silent listener- I’m so late but I’ve been catching up on all your storytimes. I’ve had such a long 2023 and barely watch yt. Dacota I’m soooo happy for you and I can’t wait to hear updates in the next vids!!! I’ve been binging you for the last couple days and I’m continuing. Ily and I’m so happy you found someone who’s treating you this way. Hearing abt your bd storytimes I was crying w you😭😭 im so proud of you.

[@beautythought3502]

Girl, I can’t wait to see you in a healthy relationship. It’s so much peace! Sometimes we recycle experiences until we learn from whatever it’s trying to teach us 🙏❤️

[@adelaideleutschaft8599]

I love when I see an hour long video! I watch you all the time, when I’m cleaning, cooking, on the treadmill! In the morning while I’m getting ready for work!! Makes my days so much better ❤ makes me feel like I have a friend with me

[@deeannmoore]

[@ElizabethSotiria]

Omg your SASS here was top tier 🤣 I have to say I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this, I was relating a little too much 💀, u def had me fr laughing out loud !! Your story times, specifically the way you deliver them, speaks to my soul 👏🏼

[@tarahbruno3793]

“ copy and paste “😂😂 I felt that one lol. I refuse to ever copy and paste again!!!

[@keannas.6257]

A common theme I’ve noticed with you Dakota is that you ALWAYS know when they start to fall off and act weird. You always start the downhill part of the story with these men that their communication started to become spotty and weird. Intuition is so strong!!!

[@kimagination7833]

HAHAHAH donald trump 🤣🤣 I personally like the sound of makeup moving around lol.

[@DakotaaCross]

LMAOOOOOO and right !? I don’t even notice it I swear !!!!

[@auraadelina1704]

Giiirl, that hello from 5:54 took mee, it was for just a second but it made my daay, thank uu, your editing is too good. Alsoo, I am just at the beginning but I can already feel this story is abt to be fire just as usual xo

[@jolener4432]

[@DakotaaCross]

Omg !!!! Thank you so much for such a sweet comment and for making my day !!!❤🥺🥰🥰🥰

[@Sarahxxxxxxx]

[@jaaayrios94]

No matter if it goes anywhere or it doesn’t, I’m just happy you are getting to experience something different and that you so whole heartedly deserve!!! I’m so proud of how far you’ve come, and all the growth that you’ve gone through!! I love you girl, and I wish nothing but all of the best things and happiness!!

[@lupeonofre_]

[@DakotaaCross]

THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!! So happy you all can join this journey with me in real time !🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@giavonnimackey6071]

I found this at the right time in my life I’m going through a break up due to fact I know I deserve better but I’m in that stage where I need time to myself to heal and figure out what I want. ❤❤❤❤thank you for this love

[@victoriaxbeck]

your videos provide me so much comfort and alleviate my pain when im hurting ♥️

[@Nurse_sunny]

Dakota! Ur seriously such an inspiration I hope u know the impact u make I was raised to get things done to work hard but truthfully I forgot to take care of myself and my mental health and to pamper myself but u have taught me how to again and I am super grateful to follow ur channel❤️

[@LifewithSerena0323]

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I was happy that you put out a new video. ❤❤❤❤ Glad u finally found a good man. Good luck. 🍀

[@deeannmoore]

I was so stoked to get your notification that you had a video on. Hope you & Aubrey are doing well. Love ya girlie❤️

[@DakotaaCross]

I hope you’re doing amazing !!!! How has life been lately !?!?

[@deeannmoore]

@@DakotaaCross it’s been a struggle girl with my shoulder physical therapy but it’s better than it was. It’s been 4 weeks since surgery but I knew it was going to be hard. I remembered later on last year you said 2023 is your year to find your husband ~ I think you just did❤️

[@jennynguyen9744]

Dang this is a great video! “Whatever I wanted from someone else, I started doing it for myself.” This is the first year in my life where I’m putting myself first and now I’m finally doing the things I need to get done without waiting for someone else to do it for me! Thanks for the reminder! Keep up the great videos!

[@Astoldby.tey4]

Aw I'm so excited to see where this goes, I'm so happy for you! Self work is so hard, but so rewarding in the end. Thanks for always being so uplifting and encouraging! You deserve to love and effort you give && so much more😘

Hey Dakota when are you putting out the part 3 of the daycare story again?

[@Bigthree2929]

Omg wowwwwww on the day I needed this the most omg Dakota wow your truly my favorite 🥹❤

[@S.Lee8]

The is giving me hope that my time is coming ❤ I’m too amazing to settle. I’m slowly starting to open up to the idea of dating but these men scare me. So keep us updated

[@jackie41083]

This video came at the right time for me. I've been obsessing over this guy I barely know (not dated him), and I'm realizing that I've been avoiding getting involved with him because the universe is telling me he's not for me. I'm hopeful that I will meet a guy who is right for me when the time is right. I'm 36 and feel like my timeline is behind what's expected of me. Your story about you praying resonates strongly. Wishing you all the best ♥

[@missmelissaa]

I have the same Stanley dupe cup too!! And in the same color, love mine😊

[@DakotaaCross]

LMAOOOOO girl I look back at myself and I’m like Dakota what is wrong with youuu!!!!😂

[@meaganelizabeth420]

Dakota love all your stories ❤ and I'm happy you had a really great time on your date you deserve it. Also cannot wait for your part 3 of the daycare series I love them! I used to work at a daycare so I love hearing what you had to go through at yours! This year I just got diagnosed with adhd in my 30s lol. Had no idea till recently I had it. Always was told by my family you have learning disabilities never know for sure what I had.

I'm so happy for you Dakota!!!

Yep. Keep your value n worth in mind ! Been there too, waste of skin. Too many excuses girl

[@light6229]

I honestly didn't want to watch this video because I was thinking it was going to be another storytime about men that are a mess I started watching this video 3 times then got distracted then before going to bed I was cleaning the kitchen so I decided to listen to your message again and by the end of the video I was crying you communicated to me the exact message I needed to hear. thank you dikota for that message you can name this video "I have a message for you" instead of storytime if you want 🙂 I have been going through my shadow work for the last year and a half and I can finally say that at the age of 34 I am ready to accept the man that God has waiting for me . I have no kids yet never been married was brought up in a very very hectic environment. but something inside me never let me settle because I know my worth 😇🙌

Sooo this might come off as weird, but maybe not because you're spiritual, lol. The first few minutes of you talking I kept being like 'I like this girl.. she's speaking facts, wow that's so true, blah blah. And then I get to the part where you're from CT?! That is so crazy to me and made me connect with you even more!! I haven't found many people who just get the vibe, for lack of better words, haha.
