EPISODE 58: Dating Advice: Should He Delete Photos Of His Ex?

It’s our monthly community episode of The Date with Confidence Podcast!

We kick things off with a hilarious dating story about an awkward, accidental belly-button encounter that broke the ice when a new girlfriend met her partner’s sister for the first time, followed by the loveliest feedback from a regular listener.

You'll also hear my advice on how to manage insecurities when it comes to a partner’s past relationships and how to keep things easy breezy when you start dating someone new.

Questions I answer:

• What do you think about partners having photos of exes on their social media or phone - should they delete them out of respect for their current partner?
• How do you stop yourself from future faking and keep things “easy breezy”?

EPISODE 56: Watch Out: 7 Easy To Ignore Red Flags I'm No Longer Available For

Have you ever been on a date with someone and something’s just felt….off?

You can’t put your finger on it because it’s not an “in your face” red flag, but your intuition is telling you something isn’t quite right.

As you reflect on the date(s), you realise there were subtle red flags that’d be easy to miss had you not been working so hard on yourself…..

In this episode of The Date with Confidence Podcast, I dive deep into the seven easy-to-ignore red flags I’m no longer tolerating in relationships. These red flags are subtle but crucial to recognise if we want to raise our relationship standards and avoid settling for the wrong person.

I share my personal experiences over the last year, reflecting on how I’ve become more attuned to these signs now that I'm in my 30s.

From how someone speaks about their ex to the effort they put into a relationship, this episode will help you identify red flags you might be overlooking and encourage you to trust your instincts when dating.

Here’s a brief overview of what we discuss:

1. Spotting subtle bitterness and resentment towards past partners

2. The significance of how someone talks about strangers or makes spiteful, unnecessary judgements

3. Recognising when someone's words don’t match their actions (even if it’s a “little” thing)

4. Understanding the importance of mutual effort in the early stages of dating

5. How a partner’s response to your boundaries reveals their true character and why you should walk away when they don’t respect you

6. The importance of honesty about lifestyle choices early on and knowing your deal breakers before you start dating

7. Why their reaction to your feelings matters and what it says about respect in the relationship

This episode offers practical insight for anyone striving to date more consciously and confidently.
