I Ignored The Guy Who Cancelled Last Minute
You don't owe anyone a response. If someone hasn’t treated you the way you deserve, you don’t owe them anything.
In this episode of The Date with Confidence Podcast, I'm talking about a recent (near) dating experience where I chose not to respond to a last-minute cancellation. I'm no longer available to not be respected by men. And I wanna encourage you to adopt this energy too.
Here are some of the key things we chat about:
1. You Don't Owe Anyone a Response: I'm emphasising the importance of understanding that you don't owe anyone a response, especially if they haven't treated you with the respect you deserve.
2. Respecting Your Boundaries: I'm encouraging you to set boundaries and not tolerate disrespectful behaviour, emphasising that it's okay to prioritise self-respect over responding to someone who cancels last minute.
3. Reflecting on Red Flags: I'm opening up about the red flags I'd seen before this guy cancelled the first date and how I believe I had a lucky escape in the end.
4. Dealing with Rejection: I touch on my own sensitivity to rejection and provide insight on how to handle rejection with resilience and self-compassion.
5. Empowering Yourself: I'm revealing the negative thoughts that flooded my brain when this incident happened and sharing how you can take charge of your inner narrative, practice self-awareness, and choose thoughts that empower and uplift you.
Remember, you have the power to shape your own narrative in the world of dating. Prioritise self-respect, set healthy boundaries, and choose thoughts that empower you. Subscribe, review, and share the podcast with your single friends for more dating insights.
