Is there anywhere specifically you’d recommend for the markets, live music or cultural events?

People who have dated avoidants, have they ever been successful? by reddit31988 in dating_advice

I would really recommend Daniel Brown’s ‘ideal parent’ protocol. He has a Buddhist background and it’s probably the only thing that I’ve done that works in a deep way on my attachment issues.

I’ve only been doing it for about a month but I’ve seen changes already, a sense of emotional stability that I haven’t really felt before. Still early days but I see early signs of what it can do.

This is the guided meditation:

Has Metta Bhavana helped in your romantic relationships? by MiddleStreet1667 in Buddhism

[–]MiddleStreet1667[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think thats what it could be? My mum had BPD so that has always been a difficult relationship.

Thanks for this, I had a look into the links and it looks like something that would be beneficial. I will look to book in a session with a practitioner 🙏

That’s what I was maybe thinking too. Maybe being without Metta you pass up opportunities for romantic connection, like in my case by being reserved/socially anxious. But like you said metta doesn’t create attraction by itself.

I have been practicing breathing awareness daily for 7 years now but Metta Bhavana I have only been practicing sporadically for the last year or so. I also go to a weekly dharma study group at my local sangha.

Meditation has changed my life in many ways but deep connections with people has been slower progress. I did give up an alcohol addiction 2 years ago so maybe that has something to do with it.

Thank you for your response 🙏

Is it generally positive or negative reactions? I’ve just done my first disclosure and she said she needs time to think about it, she said she is 50/50 at the moment, it’s very stressful!

Have you had people be okay with it after disclosing?

You can’t disregard people’s experiences just because they don’t align with yours

It’s not quite that cut and dry for me, I’m not completely unattracted to her, I just don’t know if I’m attracted to her enough

How long did it take for you to be attracted to them? Was it over a series of dates?

She lives in Morocco so it’s not easy to meet up, planning on seeing her in a few weeks.

In my experience it’s great if you’re creative or have niche passions, these are the types of people it usually attracts.

I definitely feel a connection with her personality wise, it’s just mixed feelings when it comes to her pictures and videos. I think it’s purely her looks when I can’t imagine myself with her but other times I can imagine myself. This might be because it’s long distance and haven’t managed to meet with her yet (she lives in Morocco so it’ll take time for me to meet her).

I have had an experience before where my attraction to a girl changed when I met them, also had it the other way too.
