EP 35: What I'll Tell My Younger Self About Dating Too Early
My ideal love story was to meet a boy at the university who was at most 2 years older than me, fall in love, start dating, graduate from the university, get good jobs, get married, and live happily ever after. With a desire to make this plan work, I awakened love prematurely. In retrospect, I wish I waited till the time was right and I was ready. If I could have a do-over, here’s what I would tell my younger self about dating at such a young age or too early before marriage. … Learn & enjoy!
📌 What are the signs that it's too early for a person to start dating?
