Date Like This: Feeling the Pink Cloud

I’ve said it before and I am going to say it again: By now you better be having fun. And I don’t mean fun as in “I got a pedicure today” fun—I mean, silly, lighthearted, “the hills are alive with the sound of music” fun. I recently had a client who felt that after four weeks of going out with Michael, dating was still a chore. Francesca had been divorced for two years when she came to me. She had just opened a new boutique and was ready to start dating again. As she told me in our first meeting, “I feel like I’ve been dead inside for years. I want to live!”

So when her first few dates with Michael went well, I had high hopes that she would start a new relationship alongside her career. She was taking it slow, and at first, she thought that was why she wasn’t getting any early romance jitters. This was her first time back in the dating pool, and she had no intention of jumping right into the deep end. But after a month of seeing Michael, she was still in the wading pond.

From: Francesca

Subject: Hmm …

So, missy, I’m not sure if I should be writing this already, but I feel like I need your advice. As you know, Michael and I have been dating for almost a month and it’s been going well enough, but I still feel something is missing. As you probably remember this was my fear from the start, but the dates have continued … and believe me he is a great dater. We’ve done amazing things. We even went to the Hamptons for lunch one day! I just feel … bored. I know what I normally feel like when I am falling for someone and it just isn’t happening. I’m bummed and I keep saying give it one more chance, but is that fair? I feel like I am leading him on, and that I should be feeling a little something by now.

I agreed. If by Week Four, you are not feeling at least a little thump in your heart, you need to look at that and figure out why. Is it you? Is it him? This isn’t an excuse to run, but rather to see what’s leaving you blah.
