Part 2: Coming Out Late & Scared to Date

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?Wanna support our “Coming Out Late” podcast?
