What even IS a healthy dating timeline? What are the healthy stages of dating and the boundaries you need so you can be sure you’re working towards a healthy, secure relationship?

In this lesson, I go through the stages of dating and the essential boundaries for each stage. This will help you understand healthy dating habits, the differences between the different stages of dating, and a general timeline that will help you go through the early dating stages that are the most uncomfortable.

Chances are, you’ve skipped MOST of these stages and gone straight to relationship - but it’s essential to pace the dating stages so you don’t miss essential information about your compatibility with your potential partner!
In my years as a self love coach, I’ve guided my clients from every possible heartbreaking scenario and breakup, and given them the tools they need to heal their trauma and learn the discipline of self love, so they can embody their most true, authentic and confident self!

I thought the dating phase and boyfriend/ girlfriend thing was the same thing... Thank you for opening my eyes to a better way to see dating

Sometimes friends who are jealous can sabotage your relationship.

This was so incredibly helpful and insightful. Sadly, I became a widow 11 months ago at just 40 years old when my husband (who I had been with for 22 years, since I was only 18) passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly from sepsis. Never in my life did I expect to become a widow at such a young age, nor did I ever think I'd find a love like that again. However, almost 3 months ago, I met an AMAZING guy on a dating app who lives just 25-30 minutes from me. Ironically, he is originally from the same state as my late husband and only moved here about 7 years ago after his divorce. We talked on the phone and texted for approximately a week before we went out on our first date. Our first date was AMAZING. It could not have gone any better. We immediately felt so comfortable with each other and spent a majority of the time laughing until we were crying. Before we knew it, we had spent about 8 hours together and it felt like no time had passed at all because we were both having such an amazing time. We definitely had and instant connection and felt like we had known each other for years. He's 16 years older than me, but the age gap doesn't bother us at all. He is retired from nearly 30 years of working in law enforcement and I was a paramedic for many years, so we have fairly similar career backgrounds as well as many similar interests and other things in common. Ever since our first date, we have spent nearly every single weekend together going out of town and spending 2-3 nights in hotels and just having the most amazing time together. The only 2 weekends that we didn't get to spend together were the weekends right after his 19-year-old dog passed away and the weekend right after his mother passed away, which were within 2 weeks of each other. However, a week after his mother's passing and immediately after her funeral several days ago, he drove the 3 hours back home to meet up with me and spend the weekend together, showing up at the hotel still in his suit from the funeral. I feel like we had bonded on a much higher level at this point as I had been there to support him as his mother was in hospice at the end of her life and when he had to put his dog down. He told me that I am truly a blessing in his life, and I told him that I feel the same way about him. Now, because my late husband and I rushed into a relationship 23 years ago and had moved in together after only dating for about a month, I somehow feel that is what needs to happen here, which I KNOW it doesn't. We don't even have any labels for our relationship yet and neither of us have come right out and said "I love you" yet, but we have both definitely hinted at love in some of the memes and reels that we text each other that talk about love, so I feel like we are at least progressing in a normal and healthy manner for this stage in our relationship. I know that you can't develop a full-blown relationship in only 3 months and that you really need to take things slow and steady, which is becoming harder and harder for me because I have REALLY fallen hard for this guy and I just can't imagine myself with anyone else. I literally CANNOT stop thinking about him and I'm sad when I'm not able to be with him during the week. I'm bursting at the seams to tell him I love him, but I don't want to risk scaring him away, so I'm holding back a bit longer. I think he knows, but I'm not going to risk saying it too soon, unless of course he says it first, in which case I will obviously reciprocate, because I DO love him and deeply care about him. I often wonder how I've ever lived my life without him up until these last few months. When I'm with him, I feel like I'm home and feel such a sense of peace and happiness. I feel like I can be my true, authentic, raw self with him, which he has said he loves about me - that he can tell I'm being myself and not putting up a front or being fake. When you mentioned stage 4 about being more sensitive to less times of communication, that is EXACTLY what I'm going through right now. Even though we text every single day, at least every morning to say good morning, when there are days when I don't hear from him as much, I start feeling insecure, which I KNOW I have no reason to feel as he has been SUPER consistent the entire time we've been dating, so that is definitely something that I'm trying to work on.

These videos are so helpful. I recently had an experience where a second date got somewhat physically intimate and my date love-bombed me and is now pulling way back, probably because he feels embarrassed and vulnerable. I feel like I’m on an emotional roller coaster. I like what you said about push/pull and waiting to see if they initiate. I previously would have thought that pulling back would be petty, but it seems like a good way to gage interest.

[juliawladysiak]

That was SO helpful! I have watched many videos about relationships and so on but this one hits deeper. I dont know what that is but your words and advice get me right in the spot.
I finally admitted to myself that I have attachment issues. I am not a clingy person, I give space to the other just because I don't want to be annoying but the truth is I am dying inside thinking of them too much and expecting them to behave in a certain way.
I met a guy that seems to be very respectful and could be someone more that's why I see I need to step back a little bit and set some boundaries when it comes to my attachment and mutual physical desire. Damn, never thought it would be so hard!

[matthewrichardson]

This is very interesting. I like the overall goal of looking for the give and take; I feel like it brings purpose to the old rules of dating and a useful perspective on the whole exercise.

[dieuanh]

This is incredibly enlightening and helpful! As a 20 years old dating only recently, I had so many mistakes, try to analyze and read a lot afterward. Yet this video sum it up really well with highly insightful details (mentioning physical self-care), tiding to logical reasoning (like chemical and psychological behind dating). This doesn't make me feel bad about myself and all the mistakes I made. Yet it helps me gain clarity and empathy to improve.

THIS THIS THIS. I’m so thankful to have found your account!

[irinacyp]

Hello Amy i just discovered your video and thus channel and i am so grateful. Your knowledge and advice is exactly what i needed to hear and i wish i knew when i first started dating at 18. I am excited to watch all your videos and learn as much as i can in order to increase my self worth build strong foundation for myself in order to attract to right man to build a beautiful relationship and life with. Thank you again 🙏🏻

[russellmarvin]

I really do love your video. Having come out of my divorce it's been tough getting my feet back under me. Your video has helped me. I'm looking forward to meeting my future partner in time.

[inathi]

Interestingly in stage 4 I've always felt betrayed when the person was dating another person. Particularly because the person didnt disclose it to me beforehand and I thought I was the only person. Interesting hearing you talk about it from a different perspective. Also didnt know dating is different from being in a committed relationship.

[TianieMitchell]

And don't forget that while you're dating if they do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable or unhappy simply say to that person you know I don't feel too comfortable with this and or I don't feel happy about this this makes me feel unhappy and see how they respond but always be honest about your own feelings don't say I don't like the way you're treating me because you're unhappy now you're angry and you act angry, just simply say say how you feel and keep it with your own personal feelings like I don't like the way I feel about this, or I feel that we're going too fast and we need to slow down I barely know you things like this don't let a man push you or have you do anything it makes you feel uncomfortable State how it makes you feel uncomfortable. Don't let him push you into anything you don't like and don't get mad and say you're pushing me no just State how it makes you uncomfortable and it does not make you happy and then decide what you need to do during that time regarding his response whether it's walk away or accept his apology and see if it goes better but also never put yourself in a situation where you're alone at a man's home when you're just getting to know him or at his apartment but anywhere alone keep it out in the public when you're trying to get to know someone

[snehaloni]
