Dating Risks

Let’s have a chat about taking risks in the dating world.

Dating Risks - as you click on the video, the first 15 seconds are awkward silence while I waited to go live 🤣

Can you think of a dating disaster that still makes you laugh today?

[To be clear we’re not talking dangerous dating mishaps, I don’t have the qualification to help but am including THIS LINK if you need professional help from anywhere in the world].

In retrospect, with my "far too many wines of glass already," line, it could have been risky, but we were a party of six and I was with my best friend. I think that's where we draw the line at taking chances with people we don't yet know, it's always wise to go in a group with someone you know and to be in a well-lit public space.

Back to the funny things that can go wrong on a date. 

  • On one particular date, my wedge cork shoe broke at the strap - I spent the date BAREFOOT!
  • In another situation, my button popped off my jeans - I guess I ate too much that time 🤣
  • My last embarrassing moment that I'm sharing with you is going on a date with long WET hair - my hairdryer broke moments before we were set to leave!

Now that I've shared some of my funniest dating moments, I'd love to hear some of yours. Drop a funny anecdote in the comments: 
  • Falling down while on a date? Let's hear it!
  • Spilt your food or red wine on a date? I want to know about it!
  • Got drenched in the rain while on your way to a date? Tell me all about it!
Lastly, I have shared some hilarious moments in a Date Year experiment that my husband and I did in a quick-read ebook, Creating Sparks that Last, available at this link. I've also shared some of the wisdom we learnt about each other through our year of dating, which I know will be valuable to you if you're on a mission to get the best from your relationship too.

The Kind of Life You Want

Redefining Love and Marriage https://unsplash.com/@jennymarvin Committing to a life-long marriage through difficult times takes a lot of courage. I had to define for myself the kind of life I wanted. Was I willing to forgo some of my identity to take on the characteristics of a partner who, just 30 years ago, was a complete stranger to me? Had I really got to know him at all? In this life that we share, how deeply had we truly got to know each other? Not so deeply at all, I was to learn. In spite of the many epiphanies through our year-long travel escapade, what we did on a daily basis in the humdrum of a nine to five lifestyle eroded the  lessons learnt and the coping mechanisms we had adopted. Outwardly we have a wonderfully marvelous life, yet our invisible introspection, unseen by those around us, slowly dims the light in both of our eyes. Old habits took over as we forgot to create special moments together. Our lives became mechanical. Learning to redefine the meaning of l...

There's Always a Solution I said this to a friend the other day who was struggling with tech stuff. She was so grateful for the boost that  she persevered for an entire week , but she did it!  So let’s just expand on the notion here, that ' there's always a solution.' Elora Canne - Memoir Writer I'm delighted to share my conversation with you, from the Living Big Mindfully podcast where host, Kate Champion, and I discussed many later-in-life relationship topics.  But I'm particularly interested in sharing with you, the notion that there is indeed always a solution .  Not only in everyday life situations, as told above, but also in those deeper, more difficult to navigate situations as you'll discover on the podcast. There is always a way around a hurdle,  even if you can't jump over it. To listen in on our conversation, insights and solutions, tap this link:  Living Big Mindfully Podcast Book News: 🫂 Allow me to focus, just for a minute, on those solut...
