Dating With Eyes Wide Open: Read the Signs, Trust the Truth

About this event

Dating With Eyes Wide Open: Read the Signs, Trust the Truth Wednesday, August 19th 1pm pt/4pm et Most people walk into dating carrying old wounds — scanning every new person for the same betrayal that hurt them before. That's FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real. And here's the catch — what you look for, you will find. If you go in braced for disappointment, you'll find it. If you go in looking for evidence of what's real and good, you'll find that instead. This workshop isn't about lowering your guard. It's about redirecting it — from defense to discernment. You'll learn to: • Spot the difference between vigilance and awareness. Bracing for the worst clouds your judgment; watching for the truth sharpens it. • Pre-vet a date through conversation — the specific questions and listening skills that reveal character before you're emotionally invested. • Recognize the types of power people bring into a relationship (and how to spot someone chasing power over connection). • Know your goal before you ask the question — so every conversation moves you toward clarity, not just information. • Read body language that invites closeness versus signals for space — so you stop guessing and start knowing. By the end, you won't just be dating smarter. You'll be looking for the right things — and finding them.
