Finding emotionally available, secure, and loving people to date is the holy grail of the dating world. Find one of these mystical creatures, and you're guaranteed smooth sailing until the end of days.
Just kidding. But you'll have a better chance at a loving relationship with a kind, caring, and respectful person, and you might avoid some unnecessary heartbreak.
And at the same time, it's worth considering if you are emotionally available yourself?

Nora McInerny is an author, podcaster, fellow human, and someone who's learned to live and love with grief. She's also someone I admire a lot, and I'm not gotta lie, I fangirl pretty hard around her.
Today, we're talking about how love is both the most beautiful thing in the world and also awkward, challenging, and complex, and we're all bumbling around trying to figure it out as we go along.
If you've ever wanted to listen to two exuberant people (with ADHD?) talk about love and relationships, this is your episode.
What you'll learn (or why you should care):
- Why we overextend and abandon ourselves for love.
- How we figure out relationships by "learning on each other."
- The importance of learning to like yourself before you love yourself.

Love languages are a great tool to learn how to better love others and to let others how they can better love you.
In this short episode, I'll show you how to make a request for the five love languages. Feel free to adapt these scripts to your situation and make them your own.
These are only a template to get the conversation started.
Talking about love languages is an excerpt from my latest course: Getting Your Needs Met: https://thelovedrive.com/getting-your-needs-met/
