An old yet effective technique to subtly show interest is what Kait calls “dropping the hanky.” This method involves positioning yourself in the vicinity of the person you're interested in, using confident body language, and direct communication to make your feelings known without overwhelming the other person.

‍

The fear of rejection and its potential impact on friendships can be paralyzing. Kait and JJ acknowledge that rejection is a natural part of the dating process and urge listeners to build resilience. Viewing rejection not as a reflection of personal worth but as a step towards finding the right connection is key.

‍

Shifting from a mindset of fear to one of opportunity can transform your approach. Showing interest is a courageous act that can open doors to genuine relationships. It's about honesty—not manipulation—and providing the other person with the chance to reciprocate or walk away.

‍

Kait brings in biblical examples to illustrate that women have historically shown interest proactively. Ruth's strategic approach in pursuing Boaz serves as a reminder that expressing interest can be done respectfully and boldly without crossing boundaries.

‍

Women like Esther and even the controversial Tamar displayed courage and vulnerability in their actions. While Tamar's story may be complex, it nonetheless demonstrates proactive effort. These examples show that boldness in interest is backed by biblical precedent.

‍

While both genders face fears of rejection and damaging friendships, women often experience harsher societal judgment. Kait and JJ challenge these double standards, encouraging women to rise above limiting fears and embrace confidence.

‍

Open and healthy communication bridges gaps and aligns mutual respect in relationships. Directness removes ambiguity and builds a solid foundation, making it easier for both parties to understand each other's intentions.

‍

While taking risks in dating, Kait and JJ remind us of the importance of waiting on God—not in passivity, but with an active heart seeking His guidance. Balancing personal initiative with faith’s guidance ensures a holistic approach to finding love.

‍

Ruth’s story encapsulates this balance of action and faith. Being proactive and showing interest aligns with waiting on God when done with trust and wisdom.

‍

Today’s episode is a call to empowerment. Kait and JJ encourage women to step out with confidence and authenticity. It’s not desperate to show interest; it’s a pathway to meaningful relationships.

‍

Until next time, remain bold, stay kind, and keep those hearts open!
