Before You Swipe: Online Dating Red Flags, Discernment & Self-Awareness
The WISDOM Podcast with Dorothy Zennuriye Juno
Online dating has made it easier than ever to find people—but has it made it easier to truly know them?
In this episode of The WISDOM Podcast, Dorothy explores what it means to date with greater discernment, honesty and self-awareness in a world of dating profiles, swiping and seemingly endless choice.
Through a real-life client story, we explore the difference between screening for preferences and recognizing character, and why consistency, honesty, emotional maturity and shared values may tell us far more about a potential partner than a photograph or profile ever can.
You'll discover how to:
- recognize important online dating red flags
- look beyond attraction and explore compatibility
- notice dishonesty, manipulation and boundary violations
- understand behaviours such as breadcrumbing, ghosting and love bombing
- pay attention to consistency between someone's words and actions
- create an "ideal mate checklist" based on values, behaviours and qualities, rather than perfection
- become more aware of what you are bringing into the dating relationship
- approach dating from authenticity rather than trying to become the person you think someone else wants
- remember that you don't have to be completely healed or perfect to be worthy of love.
A little WISDOM to take with you
Before you swipe, pause.
Know yourself.
Know what matters to you.
Know the difference between attraction and compatibility.
Ask better questions.
Listen carefully.
Pay attention to consistency.
And remember:
You don't have to become the person someone else is looking for.
The goal is to have the courage to be fully yourself—and allow the right person to recognize you.
