Dating Advice: He Hasn't Said “I Love You” Yet

We’re back baby!!

In this episode of The Date with Confidence Podcast, I take a deep dive into my recent experiences with dating and how they've made me reflect on my own values, self-awareness and boundaries. After ending a ‘relationship’ with someone whose views didn't align with mine, I took some time off from dating to process everything. I talk about the subtle red flags I’ve learned to recognise and how my 30-something self is more attuned to what I truly want in a partner.

I also share some recent dating stories, including a date that went well but ended without any follow-up. While I acknowledge that I have high standards, I'm unapologetic about them—I want someone who's certain about me. I reflect on a missed connection where someone was uncomfortable with my work, but I see that as a sign they may not have been the right fit.

After a not-so-quick catch up,  I also answer your questions about dating anxiety, discussing how to let go of insecurities and focus on self-worth in relationships.

Questions I answer:

  • How do I let go of being hyper anxious before it ruins what could be an amazing relationship?

  • I’ve been dating someone for 3 months and have already deleted my dating apps but he still has his on his phone - how do I talk to him about it?

  • We’ve been dating for 9/10 months now but he hasn’t said “I love you” - surely he should know by now?
