Ep. #49: Coming Out Late & Scared to Date, Part 2

In this Part Two episode of Coming Out Late & Scared to Date, Robin picks up the conversation where she left off last week. Last week Robin initiated an impromptu group discussion recorded in Zoom, around a topic that seems to be on everybody’s mind lately - navigating dating after coming out late. Whether you are newly out and have never dated a woman, or have had your share of dating experiences, this two-part series titled, “Coming Out Late & Scared to Date”, Robin asks her guests four basic foundational questions, as well as together, venturing off into a whole range of topics, things to consider, and lots to reflect on.

In this episode, you will hear other late blooming women talk about . . .

• Why do you want to date? What’s motivating you to date?
• Being ‘Ok’ sitting in silence with yourself.
• All human relationships are complex; and can we learn from one another?
• Are you someone who “has” to be in a relationship all the time?
• Looking for that person who gets me, understands me and doesn’t just like the “theory of dating me”, but actually likes dating me-for-me.
• Is this the right time for you to be dating? Are you going through enormous life changes? Does your job exhaust you? Are you physically available to date?
• What is scary to you about dating?
• Do you fear someone really ‘seeing’ you in this authentic new version of yourself, when newly dating?
• How would it feel or what would it look like if we dated ourselves?
