If you\u2019ve read my previous posts, you know I\u2019m excited about helping my clients enjoy online dating. And I certainly don\u2019t mess around. I am a supporter of the fast start on dating.<\/p>\n
And I do this with a reason. Consider this example:<\/p>\n
A new client of mine, Nina, 62, widowed, independent and a successful business woman, was aghast when I told her that I expected her to go on four dates in the first two weeks. I spoke to her earlier this week and here\u2019s what she shared with me about her fast-dating experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a confident person but was nervous after a 25-year marriage \u2013 you wanted me on four dates! I haven\u2019t gone on any dates in three years since my husband passed and here\u2019s what happened:<\/p>\n
So, why am I insistent on a fast start?<\/p>\n
A fast start to dating gives you an idea about what you like and what you don\u2019t like. You will then be able to quickly screen out any singles that will not be a good match for you. As a 25+ year dating coach<\/a>, I learn much about my clients from those first four dates \u2013 maybe even more than I had learned on our one-hour Zoom call.<\/p>\n With online dating, it\u2019s not that difficult to meet four men in two weeks. In your day-to-day life, it\u2019s highly unlikely. Think of it this way \u2013 the first time you picked up a golf club or pickleball paddle, were you confident? Confidence comes from repetition and experience. I find women start to look forward to their dates after those initial four meets.<\/p>\n Another client learned that she was a pretty adventurous traveler. Two men told her their idea of exciting trips this year were: a. driving cross country and b. visiting battle sights in the US.<\/p>\n
