Hey HOD fam! We're back and ready to bring you more dating hot takes with this episode featuring our girl, Jayme Vainer. We’re jumping into the history of dating, the ins and outs of dating, and Jayme’s transformative 90-day dating challenge. Let’s get into it!
We kick things off talking about courtship and how parents and organizations influence it. Dating started picking up in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with women’s independence, and fun fact—it had some sketchy beginnings!
Next, we chat about dating in the 1950s and 1960s and its evolution into the egalitarian concept we have today. The limited dating pool and tight community bonds are discussed, plus why diving in too soon can lead to heartache.
Let’s break down courtship versus dating. Jayme shares her mixed feelings about the strict rules of "courting." We stress the importance of not rushing things and why sometimes it’s best to take it slow.
Jayme spills on her 90-day dating challenge. With a focus on kindness and honesty—minus the exclusivity—she learned to avoid red flags and find genuinely available men. It’s been a total game-changer!
We dive into the perks of casual dating. Jayme’s relaxed approach has brought joy and clarity into her dating life. We talk about taking things one step at a time and really getting to know someone first.
Communication is crucial. We discuss how to honor and respect the people we date and the importance of leaving them better than we found them. Solid advice all around!
Making wise decisions in dating is key. We share stories about the dangers of committing too quickly and why rushing into marriage thoughts can be a pitfall.
Jayme’s casual dating approach has been a lifestyle upgrade. We wrap up by encouraging everyone to assess their emotional and spiritual readiness before diving into serious relationships.
