38 & Dating

Letting go of past relationship baggage is a huge part of learning how to date well in the future. I learn this lesson daily. Even if we don't wan to admit it, we can sometimes slip and let our issues of a former flame creep into our current dating life. For example, if your ex often flaked on dates, it can be hard to trust that the next person won't flake...even if they've never shown signs of flaking. That is what relationship baggage is and we've got to let it go. It's the only way to get a better relationship in the future. In this episode, I give tips on how to let go of relationship baggage and live better for you and your dating future.
