Ladies, let’s talk about a subtle but powerful shift that can change the way your dates feel, for both you and him.
Here’s the truth: if you want a man to open the door for you, you have to create the space for him to do it. That means… simply not doing it yourself. Yes, it really is that simple.
In today’s fast-paced world, many women are used to taking charge, at work, at home, in life. And that’s something to be proud of. But when it comes to dating, especially in heterosexual dynamics, there’s often a natural rhythm that works best when we allow some polarity between “being” and “doing.”
Men, generally speaking, don't want to compete with women, they want to show up for them. Yet if you’re always a step ahead, taking care of every little thing (like opening the door), there’s no room for him to step in.
So, here’s a fun experiment to try on your next date:
As you walk toward the door of the restaurant or venue, pause for a moment. Let him take the lead. Step back just enough to give him the cue that you’re open to being cared for in this small, sweet way. Let him open the door.
It’s not about being passive, it’s about being present and receptive. You’re not losing your power; you’re inviting partnership.
Give it a try and let me know how it goes. This small shift can open more than just a door, it can open the space for connection, effort, and masculine energy to flow your way.
