Key Points
There's this idea or belief out there that it's better to meet someone in real life. But online dating is just a way to meet people, like going to a bar or a meetup event or a friend's party.
A lot of women have a lot of mistrust or distrust around men, whether it's because of their upbringing and their relationship with their dads, or previous relationships. And so, they go on these dates with these could be great guys. But then, because there's that deeper, lack of trust, they end up treating the person like they're guilty and they have to prove their innocence.
You have a relationship with yourself first. You have to be your own advocate, regardless whether you agree with the other person.
What You Can Do
Reframe the way you think of online dating as another tool to meet people.
Look at any dating patterns you have and the types of mates you attract. What can you change?
Assume the best in people and let them show who they are without pre-judgment.
Communicate your expectations.
