The guy had been somewhat disrespectful, but the conversation had been engaging and gave her something to reflect on.
Ultimately, the date was bad and left a sour taste in her mouth. Catie was annoyed that she had gone on the date at all, but the negative experience helped her set boundaries and reaffirm her values when it comes to dating.
Sometimes, going on bad dates is necessary to further your learning process. Every day brings something different, and we can all gain new knowledge from various experiences to improve our lives for the better.
@catiegwynne A bad date obviously sucks, but… What if it was showing you what you DON’T want so you can focus on what you DO? What if it was an opportunity to redirect your energy? What are you learning about what you do or don’t like, and what you will or will not tolerate? What’s it teaching you about how you trust your gut in dating? That date I once went on sucked, but it taught me to trust my gut more, and to be really cautious of the energy I surround myself with, opened my mind that sometimes people will perceive us differently and helped me access a new reflection on what parts of myself I wish other people saw more So after a bad date remember – It’s allll learning #datingtips #grace #baddates #baddatestory #consciousdating #consciouslove #truelove #dating #torontolife #nycliving
