If you’re new to dating or want to approach it with a beginner’s mind, this episode is a must-listen

This week, a listener named Butterfly shares:

“I am now in my late twenties and struggling to find a mate. I had strict parents and wasn’t allowed to date in high school or my early twenties. I never tried with relationships, and now that I’m getting older, I’m in a place where I’d like a relationship, but I can never find the first person. I feel like the men I’ve tried to date have taken advantage of my naivety and wasted my time with no real intentions. I don’t know how to build a genuine bond with someone and don’t know what to look for and what to avoid. Can you help?”
