If you’re not a confident person, it can really take its toll. But even for the most confident people, it can be hard to navigate. Do you guys remember what it was like when we were in our teens and early 20’s, dipping our toes into the dating pool for the first time? It was equal parts exciting and nauseating, to be honest. And in this day and age of social media and internet dating, it’s only gotten worse. We love the convenience of swiping on potential partners, but we hate dealing with things like ghosting and body part pictures.

Or woman’s love! Any person’s love, really. The point is, we need to make sure our daughters know that their self-worth is not tied to who loves them, or stops loving them, or how many people they’ve loved. But rejection can make you feel like you’re not good enough or worthy of that person’s affections. It’s trite, but true: it’s not you, it’s them! Make sure your daughter knows that she is always good enough, no matter who or what tries to convince of to the contrary. We should never look to others to confirm how we feel about ourselves, and this is so important when it comes to dating.
