5 Lessons I Learned After Getting Ghosted
Yes it sucks, but it is also an opportunity to learn your weaknesses and strengths in the dating arena. And more importantly, a learning curve to get you closer to the type of person you truly want to be with.
Recently I posted a blog about getting ghosted and the mindset that I approached that relationship with that left me in an even better place after the ordeal ended. But I’ve yet to write about some of the lessons, personal and universal, that I learned throughout the short four weeks that I dated ‘Luke’.
I want to preface this by saying that it is important to look for the hidden or more subtle lessons within the situations that we find ourselves in. Not just when we’re dating, but in everyday life. I think this situation highlighted certain aspects for me because of the emotional investment I believe I made, but I digress. The point is I was open to learning anything that I could about myself and the dating world. Where my faults and strengths lie and how to improve so that the next time I meet a prospect, I can make better decisions and inform the other person of my non-negotiables in a better, more understandable way.
