Dating Life in Sobriety | flirtation, first dates, and finding the one
I'm not going to lie, dating feels so weird without my comfort blanket. I used to drink alcohol in order to feel comfortable flirting with guys, making the first move, or to get through the first date jitters... and now I don't have that. So dating and flirting feels weird.I've had a lot of "firsts" in sobriety, but dating is still not crossed off the list. I am loving life right now on my own, so it's tough to get in the mindset of bringing someone else into my little world. But I know it'll happen eventually.In this episode, we talk about some little flirtatious glimmers I've had over the last year of being single and sober + we talk about why it's different to date as a sober person.
