The Dating Dilemma: Crushing On Potential

Amanda Paolicelli: 00:00:05

What's up, radiant icons and welcome back to Dare To Be

2

: 00:00:08

Iconic, the podcast made for icons

who are daring to be themselves.

3

: 00:00:13

I'm your host, Amanda Paolicelli

and for today's Tea Time sesh.

4

: 00:00:18

Oh my goodness, you guys, I'm so excited.

5

: 00:00:20

Today we are spilling the tea on the

dating dilemma because I, for one radiant

6

: 00:00:26

icons am so tired of crushing over

potential, and I know I am not the only

7

: 00:00:32

one that struggles with this because

ou were dating in the year of: 2025

8

: 00:00:38

then you also know that dating sucks.

9

: 00:00:41

That the options are

honestly, like where are they?

10

: 00:00:44

Like where are the options?

11

: 00:00:45

Genuinely, I don't know.

12

: 00:00:47

I don't see them.

13

: 00:00:48

But also the options that do

pop up, that do pop up my way,

14

: 00:00:53

I, I suddenly am blind, right?

15

: 00:00:55

And I crush over the

potential of them, right?

16

: 00:00:58

The bare minimum actions that

they give me, I'm all of a sudden

17

: 00:01:02

la la land, go go eyes for them.

18

: 00:01:04

Like, what?

19

: 00:01:05

No, no, no, no, no.

20

: 00:01:06

I'm so tired of that.

21

: 00:01:08

So today's tea time sesh is not a rant

on how much I am anti-men, even though

22

: 00:01:13

we all know that is very true here.

23

: 00:01:15

But today's tea time

sesh is a wake up call.

24

: 00:01:18

It's a wake up call for every radiant icon

who is so tired of crushing over potential

25

: 00:01:24

and who mistakes potential as partnership.

26

: 00:01:28

Because I, for one, have done

that and I am putting a stop to

27

: 00:01:33

that today, right here, right

now with today's tea time sesh.

28

: 00:01:38

this era of dating and singleness has

taught me so much because I have learned

29

: 00:01:43

a lesson from every suitor who has thrown

their love and affection for me my way.

30

: 00:01:51

And well, I'm spilling the tea about

it right here, right now, today.

31

: 00:01:54

56

: 00:03:17

Radiant icons, because your

tea time sesh is starting now.

57

: 00:03:21

Lesson number one has been one of the

hardest lessons in this new era of like

58

: 00:03:25

dating and singleness, but it just keeps

coming up and it's clearly a pattern.

59

: 00:03:30

So, oh God, I hate talking about it.

60

: 00:03:34

I hate talking about it 'cause it like

makes me really sad and like emotional.

61

: 00:03:37

But you know what?

62

: 00:03:38

It dare to be iconic, right?

63

: 00:03:39

I lay my heart on my sleeve

for you guys, and here it is.

64

: 00:03:42

The first lesson that I'm learning in

this new era of dating and singleness

65

: 00:03:46

is that there's clearly a pattern.

66

: 00:03:48

And the pattern is, is that these boys,

they don't want an emotional connection.

67

: 00:03:54

They don't even want commitment.

68

: 00:03:56

They don't even want emotional depth.

69

: 00:03:58

All they want is physical access to you.

70

: 00:04:01

And notate how I'm

seeing boys and not men.

71

: 00:04:06

'cause even though I'm anti-men, I also

believe that a man, a true man, would

72

: 00:04:12

not have a problem with you having

a physical or emotional boundary.

73

: 00:04:19

A boy will though.

74

: 00:04:21

A boy will have a problem with you

having any type of boundary, whether

75

: 00:04:26

it's physical or emotional, and that's

when you gotta run the other way.

76

: 00:04:31

But it also doesn't negate all of

these feelings of disappointment and

77

: 00:04:36

discouragement that come up when you

face it time and time again is this,

78

: 00:04:42

you know, being made to feel like shit

because you have a physical boundary.

79

: 00:04:49

And if you've been listening to The Dare

to Be Iconic podcast for a while, then

80

: 00:04:53

you know, when I was with my current

ex-boyfriend that I did a Dare to Date

81

: 00:04:59

series and one of my tea time sessions

within that series was my conversation

82

: 00:05:04

with my good friend Becs, and it was about

sensuality and sexuality and healing.

83

: 00:05:11

And I had mentioned in that tea time sesh,

oh God, I'm like getting really nervous.

84

: 00:05:15

It makes me really

nervous to talk about, um.

85

: 00:05:21

In that tea time sesh with my friend Becs.

86

: 00:05:24

I had mentioned that when my current

ex-boyfriend asked to kiss me for the

87

: 00:05:28

first time, I went into a full-blown panic

attack because it's linked to trauma.

88

: 00:05:34

Physical intimacy is something

that is really hard for me, and

89

: 00:05:39

it's always has been hard for me

because I will never be the girl

90

: 00:05:44

that kisses a random guy in the bar.

91

: 00:05:46

I just will never be that girl

because I don't feel safe with that.

92

: 00:05:49

For me, physical intimacy, a kiss, a hug,

holding hands, whatever it may be, right?

93

: 00:05:56

That's a lot for me.

94

: 00:05:58

And I need to know that person.

95

: 00:06:00

I need to feel safe.

96

: 00:06:01

I need to feel comfortable.

97

: 00:06:03

And I know that in today's society, it's

like maybe not cool to be that, that girl.

98

: 00:06:11

Um, and it's, I'm, I am the outlier

in that and like, it's okay.

99

: 00:06:17

I, I'm.

100

: 00:06:19

I am firm in my beliefs, and

I have always advocated for

101

: 00:06:23

myself when it comes to that.

102

: 00:06:25

But being in this new era of dating and

being 26 years old and navigating these

103

: 00:06:30

waters and seeing this pattern time and

time again of these boys just being upset

104

: 00:06:35

that you won't kiss them or you won't hold

their hand or you won't give them a hug,

105

: 00:06:39

it gets like really discouraging at times.

106

: 00:06:42

And, um, it's just more

disappointing than anything

107

: 00:06:48

because it's like, what's so bad with

not being comfortable with kissing you?

108

: 00:06:53

What's so bad with not

wanting to hold your hand?

109

: 00:06:56

I, I, I don't know you.

110

: 00:06:59

I, I want to feel seen.

111

: 00:07:01

I want to feel heard, I want to feel safe.

112

: 00:07:04

I want to know that if I

don't feel comfortable at any

113

: 00:07:06

moment that I can say stop.

114

: 00:07:08

I can say no, and that you won't try

anything that you won't push further.

115

: 00:07:13

I'm.

116

: 00:07:16

I don't know you, like, why am I

going to share saliva with you?

117

: 00:07:20

Right?

118

: 00:07:20

Like that's what kissing

is, and for me, that's just

119

: 00:07:22

personally, that's just who I am.

120

: 00:07:25

Honestly, that's just where I'm at radiant

icons and that's always how I've been.

121

: 00:07:30

I'm not ashamed that those

are my values and my beliefs.

122

: 00:07:34

I'm not embarrassed by them by any means.

123

: 00:07:38

But I would be lying to you if I

didn't say, it kind of got to me of

124

: 00:07:41

like, oh, what's so wrong with me?

125

: 00:07:44

That by me telling you I don't wanna kiss

you or that I don't want to hold your

126

: 00:07:48

hand, or that I don't want to hug you.

127

: 00:07:51

Like, what's so wrong with that?

128

: 00:07:53

Like.

129

: 00:07:54

Am I not more than just my body?

130

: 00:07:55

Am I not more than just my lips?

131

: 00:07:57

Am I not more than just my sex appeal?

132

: 00:07:59

I know I'm extremely hot.

133

: 00:08:02

I know that, but there is so

much more to me than just my

134

: 00:08:07

attractiveness, than just me kissing

you, than just me holding your hand.

135

: 00:08:12

Whatever the fuck it is right?

136

: 00:08:15

There is so much more to me than the

physicalness that I don't even know

137

: 00:08:21

how to explain it, but it's just so,

it's frustrating and it's discouraging,

138

: 00:08:24

and honestly, it just makes me, it

just makes me feel bad sometimes, and

139

: 00:08:29

it kind of makes me maybe a little

bit shameful even though I'm so firm

140

: 00:08:34

and advocating for myself and I will

never not stop advocating for myself.

141

: 00:08:38

It's something that's really, really

hard and I keep noticing it, and

142

: 00:08:42

sometimes it's like, will I ever

find someone like Will I, will?

143

: 00:08:46

I.

144

: 00:08:48

And that's like really hard because

like when I was on my single girls

145

: 00:08:52

trip to Miami after the season two

finale, we went to South Beach.

146

: 00:08:57

My friend Melanie and I, and

as I tell you again, all these

147

: 00:09:01

men were like in love with me.

148

: 00:09:02

They were tripping over

themselves, breaking iPads just

149

: 00:09:05

to tell me that they loved me.

150

: 00:09:06

And like obviously like

duh, like I get it.

151

: 00:09:09

But you know, there, there was this

Italian boy that we had met at the

152

: 00:09:15

nightclub on our first night and

he was staring at me all night.

153

: 00:09:19

And I'm the type of girl who, you know,

when I notice that you've been looking

154

: 00:09:24

at me, I'm not gonna be shy to say

something when you finally do approach me.

155

: 00:09:27

And he finally came up to me and I

said, well, what took you so long?

156

: 00:09:32

You've been looking at me all night?

157

: 00:09:34

Like, really?

158

: 00:09:35

Like what took you so long?

159

: 00:09:37

And um, he was, we were

just talking and everything.

160

: 00:09:40

And then at one point.

161

: 00:09:42

He was like, oh, um, do you

know what the French kiss is?

162

: 00:09:47

And I remember being like, this guy

is not trying to kiss me right now.

163

: 00:09:50

Like, this is such a weird pickup

line, but okay, here we go.

164

: 00:09:54

And I had told him, yeah.

165

: 00:09:57

And he goes, do you want me to show, do

you want me to show you the Italian one?

166

: 00:10:03

And I said, no.

167

: 00:10:07

I remember stepping back, shaking

my finger no to him as well and

168

: 00:10:12

being like, I'm not that girl, man.

169

: 00:10:14

Like I, you're not just gonna be

able to kiss me out of random.

170

: 00:10:18

Like, I really have to know you, but, but

I can dance with you and I can give you

171

: 00:10:22

my Instagram, but I'm not gonna kiss you.

172

: 00:10:25

And he was like, oh,

well, at least I tried.

173

: 00:10:27

And at that moment I was

like, okay, I respect him.

174

: 00:10:29

Like he tried, he shot a shot

and he took no for an answer.

175

: 00:10:31

Like, okay, perfect.

176

: 00:10:32

And we were talking and

everything was fine.

177

: 00:10:34

And I remember going back to

the hotel room, he, he and ha

178

: 00:10:37

hoing with Melanie about it.

179

: 00:10:39

And then I remember being like.

180

: 00:10:41

Well, do you think he just wants

to like, like, sleep with me?

181

: 00:10:45

Like, do you think that's,

that's what his play is.

182

: 00:10:47

And we both looked at each other,

and again, we're like the blind

183

: 00:10:49

leading the blind over here.

184

: 00:10:50

And we're like, no, there's no way.

185

: 00:10:53

And so then the next day we were planning

to meet him at 11 with his friends.

186

: 00:10:57

And so we did, which is

like this big club in Miami.

187

: 00:10:59

And um, we did, but before it,

he had texted me something of

188

: 00:11:05

like, oh, like la la la, la.

189

: 00:11:07

Oh, you can just go home with me.

190

: 00:11:09

And I remember being so turned off

by that because I literally just told

191

: 00:11:12

you that I wasn't gonna kiss you.

192

: 00:11:13

Like, what makes you think that

I'm, I'm gonna go home with you.

193

: 00:11:17

No, absolutely not.

194

: 00:11:19

Like you wish, like you

actually genuinely wish.

195

: 00:11:22

Um, and so I didn't answer him.

196

: 00:11:25

And then we ran into each other at 11.

197

: 00:11:29

Briefly whatever.

198

: 00:11:30

I had gone in the ick, so I was

like, yeah, no, I'm not, I'm not

199

: 00:11:33

even gonna try to give this like

guy any time of my day or my night.

200

: 00:11:37

The next day, you know, we were texting

a little bit and I was like, well, I hope

201

: 00:11:43

you have a safe flight home, whatever.

202

: 00:11:44

And he goes, oh, well you're

gonna be leaving Miami without

203

: 00:11:46

kissing me worse for you.

204

: 00:11:48

And he did like the

laughing, crying face emoji.

205

: 00:11:51

And I literally remember looking up at

Melanie 'cause we were getting ready

206

: 00:11:53

for the Radiant Reign merch photo shoot.

207

: 00:11:56

And I remember looking up at her being

like, this guy was literally disgusting.

208

: 00:12:01

Like, worse for you.

209

: 00:12:02

Excuse you.

210

: 00:12:03

You are acting as if

you are the prize, sir.

211

: 00:12:05

You are not the prize.

212

: 00:12:07

I don't, I in fact,

actually radiant icons.

213

: 00:12:10

I really do wanna say this.

214

: 00:12:11

I don't understand.

215

: 00:12:11

Where men think that they are the

prizes now because that is not true.

216

: 00:12:14

We are the prize.

217

: 00:12:16

And prize is do not go looking

for the people winning them.

218

: 00:12:20

Right.

219

: 00:12:20

They don't.

220

: 00:12:21

So for this man to think that he's the

prize here and act all high and mighty

221

: 00:12:26

of like, oh, well, worse for you because

you're not kissing me, what the hell

222

: 00:12:29

are you on, dude, you are not the prize.

223

: 00:12:33

I am.

224

: 00:12:34

So then I texted him back and I

said, kissing me is a privilege.

225

: 00:12:38

And not everyone gets that

privilege because that's right.

226

: 00:12:41

I've only kissed three guys in my entire

life and if I kiss you, you know you

227

: 00:12:46

are the luckiest guy in this entire

world because I decided to kiss you.

228

: 00:12:52

But anyway, I told him that and

he was like, yeah, I noticed.

229

: 00:12:57

You are disgusting.

230

: 00:12:58

Disgusting.

231

: 00:13:00

And like he is not the only guy who

has made a slick ass comment about me

232

: 00:13:05

being like, kissing me is a privilege

because it is because I am the prize.

233

: 00:13:09

So I wanna remind you, radiant

icons, oh my God, this fueled me up.

234

: 00:13:13

I needed this energy for this

part of the episode, but still.

235

: 00:13:17

I want you to remember radiant

icons, that even when it gets

236

: 00:13:21

discouraging and disappointing.

237

: 00:13:23

I'm right there with you.

238

: 00:13:25

But we need to remember that we are

the prize and that our boundaries

239

: 00:13:29

are firm and right and valid.

240

: 00:13:32

And if a boy makes you feel like shit

about it, he can go fuck himself.

241

: 00:13:40

Genuinely.

242

: 00:13:41

That is true big sister, tough

love Amanda telling you that that

243

: 00:13:46

guy can go fuck himself because

honestly, I needed that reminder.

244

: 00:13:50

'cause I was really sad talking

about it in the beginning

245

: 00:13:52

and being so discouraging.

246

: 00:13:54

But you know what?

247

: 00:13:55

No, that guy's a loser.

248

: 00:13:57

He's a boy.

249

: 00:13:58

You need a man, and a man will be

trying to win you over because he

250

: 00:14:04

knows that you are the damn prize.

251

: 00:14:07

Now let's get to lesson two.

252

: 00:14:08

Lesson number two is the

illusion of potential.

253

: 00:14:12

And this lesson right here is

inspired by, well, let's call him Mr.

254

: 00:14:18

Canada.

255

: 00:14:19

That's right radiant icons.

256

: 00:14:20

I have suitors in different country codes.

257

: 00:14:22

So for my ex-boyfriend who's probably

listening to this, who stalks my social

258

: 00:14:26

media, you can shove that up your ass.

259

: 00:14:29

Mr.

260

: 00:14:29

Canada had my head spinning

with all of his gestures.

261

: 00:14:33

I'm talking, I barely moved a

muscle and this man is giving

262

: 00:14:37

me the jacket off of his back.

263

: 00:14:39

I'm talking about this man is

cleaning my camera lens and giving

264

: 00:14:42

me all the good content because

content is important to me.

265

: 00:14:47

And, um, well, since you left me

on read, you're gonna get content

266

: 00:14:50

made out of you right now, Mr.

267

: 00:14:53

Canada, and well that's how I

realized the bar was in hell.

268

: 00:14:57

The bar was in hell because I was

falling for the potential of him, right?

269

: 00:15:00

I was crushing over the

potential of his actions.

270

: 00:15:04

I have apparently never been treated

the way I was treated with Mr.

271

: 00:15:08

Canada, and he barely knew me.

272

: 00:15:10

Within five minutes of me meeting him,

this man is bending over backwards for me.

273

: 00:15:15

This man is running across the room

to help me carry the drinks and the

274

: 00:15:19

food to the table because my kitten

heels were getting stuck in the carpet.

275

: 00:15:24

This man is literally doing

stuff while my ex-boyfriend

276

: 00:15:27

would've actually rather not do.

277

: 00:15:31

That's, that's how I know the bar is in

hell, because I was crushing over the

278

: 00:15:35

potential of this man's actions 'cause his

actions to me were what was attractive.

279

: 00:15:40

Another example of this illusion

of potential radiant icons would

280

: 00:15:45

be with my current ex-boyfriend.

281

: 00:15:47

With my current ex-boyfriend, I

disclosed to him some very private and

282

: 00:15:51

personal information that I trusted

him with and that good reaction he

283

: 00:15:55

had to my disclosure, blinded me to

his consistent mistreatment of me.

284

: 00:16:02

It blinded me to how

badly he was treating me.

285

: 00:16:06

I was so focused on his moments of decency

when it came to that disclosure that

286

: 00:16:11

I ignored his patterns of disrespect.

287

: 00:16:15

I will never do that again.

288

: 00:16:16

And so when it comes to this

illusion of potential radiant

289

: 00:16:19

icons, please don't do what I did.

290

: 00:16:22

Don't stay in a relationship because

you're blinded by the moment of decency

291

: 00:16:28

that they gave you that you ignore

the constant disrespect or don't crush

292

: 00:16:34

over a guy that literally gives you the

bare minimum treatment because again,

293

: 00:16:39

all of this potential isn't enough.

294

: 00:16:41

Potential is just a fantasy.

295

: 00:16:44

It is just a fantasy, radiant icons.

296

: 00:16:46

So stop falling for the potential

and start falling for the

297

: 00:16:51

consistency of their actions.

298

: 00:16:55

Lesson number three is

all about standards.

299

: 00:16:57

And honestly, this lesson in particular

is inspired by all of my suitors because

300

: 00:17:03

all of them, all of them, remind me that

I have to keep my standards high because

301

: 00:17:07

these men, going back to lesson two,

are really at the bare fucking minimum.

302

: 00:17:11

But anyway, any who I'm gonna pull from

my recent ex first before we go into the

303

: 00:17:16

other ones, because it's just too good.

304

: 00:17:18

It's just too good to not talk about

this as the first example for standards.

305

: 00:17:22

So when my current ex and I were

towards the end of our relationship,

306

: 00:17:26

there was a week where we weren't

really speaking to each other.

307

: 00:17:29

We were kind of giving each

other distance, trying to figure

308

: 00:17:32

out what we were going to do.

309

: 00:17:34

And on my end when I said what I

need to say and kind of like cleared

310

: 00:17:39

up everything and gave him my

perspective, I decided that I was

311

: 00:17:43

going to give him an additional month.

312

: 00:17:46

I was gonna give him 30 days to

see if he, now that he now knows my

313

: 00:17:51

perspective on things and things like

that let's see if he gets better.

314

: 00:17:54

Here's the God honest truth

about that radiant icons.

315

: 00:17:57

Men will never get better, okay?

316

: 00:17:58

They will never get better.

317

: 00:17:59

Do not give them a 30 day

trial, because you know what?

318

: 00:18:03

Men never give us trial periods.

319

: 00:18:05

They never give us trial periods.

320

: 00:18:07

So why the hell are we giving them one?

321

: 00:18:10

Why?

322

: 00:18:11

Why?

323

: 00:18:11

Why?

324

: 00:18:12

And I'm calling myself out on

that one in particular because I

325

: 00:18:14

was gonna give him another month.

326

: 00:18:17

Stupid, stupid.

327

: 00:18:18

I might as well have written dumb

fucking bitch on my forehead.

328

: 00:18:20

But you know what?

329

: 00:18:21

We live and we learn.

330

: 00:18:22

Right.

331

: 00:18:22

But that taught me that I

need to up my standards.

332

: 00:18:26

Why was I going to settle for his constant

mistreatment of me and his disrespect?

333

: 00:18:34

Why was I gonna do that to myself

when I know I'm too fucking

334

: 00:18:37

amazing to deal with that?

335

: 00:18:40

Right?

336

: 00:18:41

Right.

337

: 00:18:41

We need to know our standards and

uphold them, particularly in these

338

: 00:18:46

situations where we are falling

for the potential of someone.

339

: 00:18:50

And I do it time and time

again, and I know I'm not alone.

340

: 00:18:55

Okay, there's this guy.

341

: 00:18:56

Let's call him ATL guy.

342

: 00:18:57

All right.

343

: 00:18:58

Let's call him ATL guy.

344

: 00:18:59

ATL guy.

345

: 00:19:00

Well, he confessed his love for me.

346

: 00:19:01

Three years too late.

347

: 00:19:02

He told me why I was in Miami.

348

: 00:19:04

He dms me and said, Amanda, you know what?

349

: 00:19:06

I have feelings for you.

350

: 00:19:07

I've had feelings for you for three years.

351

: 00:19:09

I didn't know what to do about it.

352

: 00:19:10

This, this, and that, blah, blah, blah.

353

: 00:19:11

Giving me every excuse under the book.

354

: 00:19:13

I learned from my ex-boyfriend that I

wasn't gonna put up with bullshit anymore.

355

: 00:19:17

I'm not.

356

: 00:19:18

If you want me as a man, you

have to fucking go for it.

357

: 00:19:22

None of these bullshit excuses of

blah, blah, blah and blah, blah blah,

358

: 00:19:25

and this and that, and la blah, blah.

359

: 00:19:26

I didn't know how to tell you.

360

: 00:19:28

No, no.

361

: 00:19:30

I am too fucking amazing for

you to have all these excuses.

362

: 00:19:34

If you want me, show me and show

me consistently that you want me.

363

: 00:19:41

I'm not gonna put up with excuses

and you shouldn't either, radiant

364

: 00:19:44

icons again, like I said in lesson

number one, we are the prize.

365

: 00:19:49

And also, let's just

keep on going, shall we?

366

: 00:19:53

When it comes to upholding our standards,

right, and remembering the prizes that

367

: 00:19:58

we are, if a man ever tells you, or I

shouldn't even say, tells, ask you if,

368

: 00:20:05

Hey, what do you bring to the table?

369

: 00:20:08

Ask them in return, what

do they bring to the table?

370

: 00:20:10

I remember when my ex-boyfriend asked me

this, and I told him I was really offended

371

: 00:20:13

by this question because, excuse me, how

do you not know what I bring to the table?

372

: 00:20:19

I'm successful.

373

: 00:20:21

I am smart.

374

: 00:20:22

I am beautiful.

375

: 00:20:23

I am funny.

376

: 00:20:24

I bring so much to the table.

377

: 00:20:25

What the hell do you bring?

378

: 00:20:26

All you bring is

emotional turmoil, my boy.

379

: 00:20:29

That's what every man brings into

your life is emotional turmoil.

380

: 00:20:33

Okay?

381

: 00:20:33

So when they ask you, oh, what

do you bring to the table?

382

: 00:20:36

I want you to look them in their

eye and tell them don't ask me that

383

: 00:20:39

question again and walk the hell away.

384

: 00:20:42

That's how you uphold your

standards 'cause how dare you?

385

: 00:20:45

How dare you not know how amazing I am?

386

: 00:20:48

Right?

387

: 00:20:49

I think the most important thing to

remember when it comes to lesson three

388

: 00:20:54

upholding your standards is that you

need to remember to own your power.

389

: 00:21:00

Owning your power is not intimidating,

it is magnetic, and particularly in

390

: 00:21:07

the the two examples that I shared,

right when my ex-boyfriend had asked

391

: 00:21:13

me what I brought to the table, or when

ATL boy had confessed his love for me

392

: 00:21:17

and expected me to bend over backwards

and say that I felt the same way.

393

: 00:21:22

No, I owned my power in that moment.

394

: 00:21:24

And I said, whoa, that's a

really disrespectful question.

395

: 00:21:27

How do you not know what

I bring to the table?

396

: 00:21:30

What do you bring?

397

: 00:21:31

Right?

398

: 00:21:31

I flipped it onto him.

399

: 00:21:33

Same thing with ATL boy.

400

: 00:21:34

Why do you expect me to say

that I'm in love with you?

401

: 00:21:37

You waited too late and your

excuses just aren't good enough.

402

: 00:21:41

I owned my power, and I upheld my

standards because I will never, ever,

403

: 00:21:47

ever let a man walk over me again.

404

: 00:21:50

I will never let a man do me dirty.

405

: 00:21:52

I will never fall for potential again.

406

: 00:21:55

And that's what I wanna challenge you,

radiant icons when it comes to lesson

407

: 00:21:58

three, and maybe you're having trouble

with upholding your standards because

408

: 00:22:03

maybe you are blinded by the potential of

someone that's okay, that's normal, like

409

: 00:22:07

trust me, I know that's normal, but just

remember, you need to own your power.

410

: 00:22:13

Owning your power is going

to lead you into every other

411

: 00:22:16

decision on this dating journey.

412

: 00:22:19

Own your power, uphold your

standards, and don't settle for

413

: 00:22:22

the bare fucking minimum because

these men never settle for anything.

414

: 00:22:27

So why should you?

415

: 00:22:28

And our last lesson for today's

tea time sesh is that you'll always

416

: 00:22:34

be the best boyfriend to yourself.

417

: 00:22:37

So remember your self-worth radiant icons,

especially in this stage of dating, right?

418

: 00:22:45

Again, like I said beforehand,

ing in this generation and in: 2025

419

: 00:22:51

genuinely just sucks, it just sucks.

420

: 00:22:55

Like, where are the gentlemen?

421

: 00:22:56

Where is the courting?

422

: 00:22:58

Like, where are the healed men

that go to therapy consistently,

423

: 00:23:01

like I don't know where they are.

424

: 00:23:03

If you know where they are, please

let me know because I'm looking

425

: 00:23:05

for them and I can't find them.

426

: 00:23:07

But , since we all know it's kind of

impossible to find that we need to

427

: 00:23:13

remind ourselves that in this era, we

need to remember to date ourselves.

428

: 00:23:18

That's why it's so important to go on

those solo dates and treat ourselves like

429

: 00:23:24

we would want our boyfriend to treat us.

430

: 00:23:27

Because honestly, at the end of

the day, until we find the man that

431

: 00:23:31

will sweep us off our feet and be

our prince charming and more, we

432

: 00:23:38

have to be our own best boyfriend.

433

: 00:23:40

And I know it sucks, but that's the

God honest truth 'cause honestly,

434

: 00:23:44

radiant icons, it is so much better.

435

: 00:23:48

It is so much better to be the

single girl that everyone wonders.

436

: 00:23:53

Oh my God.

437

: 00:23:53

Like why is that girl still single?

438

: 00:23:55

She's so amazing.

439

: 00:23:57

Right?

440

: 00:23:57

Then be the girl that everyone is like,

why the hell is she still with that loser?

441

: 00:24:02

Like I rather be the girl that

everyone is still wondering, how

442

: 00:24:05

the hell is she not taken yet?

443

: 00:24:08

She's too damn amazing.

444

: 00:24:09

Like what?

445

: 00:24:10

Like, oh my goodness.

446

: 00:24:11

I rather be that girl than the girl

that people wonder why she's still with

447

: 00:24:15

that loser who treats her like shit.

448

: 00:24:17

So I will intentionally stay single

and take myself on dates where I know I

449

: 00:24:25

will treat myself the best possible way.

450

: 00:24:27

I can show myself the love

that I know that I deserve.

451

: 00:24:30

So whenever that man comes into the

picture that is lucky enough to be

452

: 00:24:35

in my presence, I already know what

to expect because I had the highest

453

: 00:24:39

expectations for myself because I've

upheld those standards, right, that

454

: 00:24:45

we just talked about in lesson three.

455

: 00:24:47

I'm not accepting the bare minimum like

we spoke about in lesson two, right?

456

: 00:24:51

With that illusion of potential.

457

: 00:24:53

And I know that the pattern will finally

be broken like we spoke about in lesson

458

: 00:24:59

one, that pattern of men only wanting

something physical and not emotional.

459

: 00:25:05

So yeah, be the best boyfriend to

yourself, radiant icon, until the man that

460

: 00:25:10

is everything and more to you comes along.

461

: 00:25:12

Because again, we are what we are.

462

: 00:25:14

The prizes, we are the prizes, radiant

icons, and prizes do not look for

463

: 00:25:19

the people that are winning them.

464

: 00:25:21

So we just have to keep on going

on our path, doing our own thing,

465

: 00:25:25

and the man who is everything and

more will come into our life and

466

: 00:25:29

win us like the prize that we are.

467

: 00:25:32

And that's on period.

468

: 00:25:33

Okay, radiant icons.

469

: 00:25:34

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret.

470

: 00:25:36

As you know, we are in our radiant

reign era and for me in this era, I have

471

: 00:25:41

been finding little things that make me

feel powerful, that make me feel sexy,

472

: 00:25:47

that make me feel unapologetically me.

473

: 00:25:50

And one of those is my

iconic signature scent.

474

: 00:25:54

I have crafted mine with.

475

: 00:25:56

Osha.

476

: 00:25:57

I do sinful layered with that girl,

vanilla, and it is delectable.

477

: 00:26:01

It is sinful and it is

sexy if I say so myself.

478

: 00:26:06

Every spritz just feels

like confidence bottled up.

479

: 00:26:11

It is my reminder that I am evolving

for myself, not anyone's dusty ass sun.

480

: 00:26:17

And you can have that too.

481

: 00:26:18

Radiant icons.

482

: 00:26:19

Make sure to build your own fragrance.

483

: 00:26:22

Through Oakcha use the discount

code linked in the show notes

484

: 00:26:26

below to save yourself some cash.

485

: 00:26:29

Because icons do not follow trends.

486

: 00:26:32

We set the standard.

487

: 00:26:33

All right, radiant icons.

488

: 00:26:34

496

: 00:27:06
