Julie Legg and Jel Legg discuss ADHD and dating – how ADHD traits can impact some of our dating skills and dating experiences, managing expectations, and being authentic.
They chat about how the search for dopamine may drive impulsivity, passion, energy, and excitement. They discuss their personal experiences when it comes to diving in, quick exits, bouncing back, and ultimately what their ADHD brain is searching for.
Topics discussed in this episode:
- Dopamine, diving in, intensity, and passion.
- Fight, flight, and red flags of dating experiences.
- ADHD vs non-ADHD dating experiences.
- Having fun on dates and managing expectations for what comes next.
- The importance of being yourself, naturally – open and honest.
- Bouncing back and moving on after a date that didn’t go well.
Key takeaways:
- It’s important that those with ADHD understand how and why their brain works the way it does, but not shy away from being authentic during the dating process. Being open and honest, and not masking in order to impress, will go a long way to find ‘your person’.
- While some ADHD traits can trip us up at times, remember we have extremely positive traits too that others can find very attractive.
- Enjoy the dating experience one date at a time, and try not to race ahead and plan future outcomes beyond the first date.
