Real difference between being open and being vulnerable. And I'm really good at being open, but I'm not very good at being vulnerable. He's totally right. There is a difference between being open and being vulnerable, especially in dating. And I want to share a little bit about what that looks like. So for those that don't know me, my name is Anwar White. I am a dating coach for smart and successful women of color. And I'm here to get your love life together, honey. So being open and dating looks like sharing facts and sharing your thoughts or opinions about things. But being vulnerable in dating is all about sharing your feelings. Feelings, feelings, feelings, feelings, feelings. And for so many women of color, that actually is very difficult to do because we are not raised to share our feelings, right? And so we don't know how to really do that in our adult romantic relationships. The thing about vulnerability is that it's a superpower in dating. And so when you're vulnerable, two things happen. One, you're going to be able to actually deeply connect with a man because your vulnerability is going to inspire his vulnerability, which means that he's going to be able to take off the armor and share and show his true, authentic self. That's one. Two, when you are vulnerable, you are also going to be able to observe his response. And his response will tell you everything that you need to know about whether he has the emotional capacity, sensitivity, to actually be a great boyfriend and be a great husband. But if you're not vulnerable, you won't be able to see those things. So let me know in the comments. Are you open or are you vulnerable? And if you need help being vulnerable and dating so that you can get your guy, definitely book a call. I'm here to help you, girl.
