Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. In this uplifting Valentine special senior therapist Sally Baker joins me once again to discuss the emotionally charged arena of online dating and how to succeed at it. She explains exactly how to gain clarity around who and what you want, and how to best avoid those tricky virtual red, amber and beige dating flags. Sally has also very generously given us free access to her online dating course - the link to which you can find in the show notes. So pucker up and please join me as we look at life through a loving lens.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Lead with self-celebration by focusing on your unique, loveable quirks instead of surface-level traits
• Listen closely for dealbreakers or risky behaviours suitors confess upfront to discern compatibility
• Optimal online conversing lasts under 3 weeks before meeting up in person
• Green flags include authenticity, sharing victories and struggles, generosity and thoughtfulness
• Getting over past hurt often entails therapeutic inner child work to avoid projecting unmet needs onto new partners
• Spring's biochemical shift tends to energize dating efforts more than cold winter months
• Persist through numerous dates to beat the odds; view subpar experiences lightly with optimism

BEST MOMENTS

"It's about having a full life. It's about meeting people in a myriad of different ways, not just online."

"There are several, several, several thousand proper people for us. Real people for us."

"Unless you're going to shag your postman because you're not out there, get out there."

"When they get to university, every intake does their own sex week, the freshers sex week, where they catch up on all the stuff they've been made to miss out on."

"Have a hundred dates. Seriously, have a hundred dates...Shag 50 of them. Have fun!"

"Good people are out there. They can't find us quite yet."

"You cannot just have one date and go and think, oh that was horrible, I'm never doing that again."

"It took a long haul flight for her to allow herself to be soft enough and vulnerable enough to meet someone halfway instead of keep pushing people away."
