Expand your palette and be different: Dating Outside Your Type and wearing lingerie outside of your capsule wardrobe
Dating Outside Your Type
We all have a type.
The familiar qualities we gravitate toward in a potential partner. But what happens when you step outside your comfort zone and give someone different a chance? What happens if you give yourself the freedom to try something new?
Dating outside your type can open your heart to new experiences, challenges, and maybe even a whole new outlook on love. It’s about breaking free from expectations, exploring what really connects us to others, and finding unexpected joy in the unfamiliar.
Stepping Into the Unknown
Dating someone who doesn't fit your usual checklist might feel uncomfortable at first.
Questions you'll ask yourself are:
- Are you handsome?
- Are you smart?
- Do I find you attractive?
- Will we get along?
- How will the sex be?
- Should I try before I buy?
Very superficial, but at least I'm being honest. I'm just here calling a spade of spades.
You're going into unknown territory, unsure of what to expect. But that's where the magic happens. When you let go of what you know, you discover that compatibility goes beyond surface-level traits.
You might find yourself drawn to someone's thoughtfulness, sense of humour, or the way they make you feel seen in ways you hadn't before.
The same goes for your wardrobe. Just as you might step outside your usual dating type, stepping out of your go-to lingerie style can be liberating. Trying something new and bold is an exciting way to embrace change.
Saying Goodbye to Toxic Traits
Before you can truly step into new possibilities-whether in love, life, or even lingerie-you need to say goodbye to the toxic traits that hold you back.
These habits and mindsets keep you stuck in the past, preventing growth and happiness. Letting go of them is the first step toward a healthier, more empowered version of yourself.
Here are a few toxic traits to ditch:
- Settling for less than you deserve
- Negative self-talk
- Ignoring red flags in relationships
- Fear of vulnerability
- Overthinking everything
- Comparing yourself to others
Lingerie Outside Your Comfort Zone
Just like in dating, we all have a style we're comfortable with in lingerie. Maybe it's soft and simple, practical, or whatever makes us feel safe.
But why not take a risk?
Iggy or the Indigo might seem a little outside your usual choices, but slipping into something you usually wouldn't wear can give you a new sense of sexual liberation. It's important to feel sexy. When you feel good, you're confident. And when you're confident, the possibilities are endless.
It's all about embracing the unknown and enjoying the thrill of stepping into something completely fresh.
The Surprising Benefits
When you venture beyond your type in dating or lingerie OR anything that you need to shake up a bit in life, you'll often see things in a way you've never seen them before.
Dating someone different may challenge you, but it also broadens your perspective. You might discover new qualities you value in a partner or learn something new about yourself in the process.
Similarly, wearing a bold piece of lingerie that you wouldn't normally choose can shift how you see your body and boost your confidence in ways you didn't anticipate.
Embrace the Adventure
Dating outside your type...
It’s about taking risks and opening yourself to what could be. Maybe the person who doesn’t check all your boxes will surprise you in the best possible way, or that piece of lingerie you thought you’d never wear becomes your new favorite.
So, take the plunge. Whether it’s in love or lingerie, seek the thrill of exploring beyond the familiar. The possibilities are endless. And maybe exactly what you’ve been looking for...
You know you love me,
