- 0:52Your royal transformation begins now.
- 0:59Hey sis, welcome back to another episode of Girl Date the Good Guy. It's your girl, Emily.
- 1:05And one of the biggest lies women have been taught in dating is that intensity
- 1:10equals connection and butterflies equal confirmation.
- 1:14Now, those are not bad things because even when I met my good guy,
- 1:19those things were there.
- 1:20But it cannot be what we base our decision off of. All right?
- 1:25Peace is actually the proof.
- 1:28So a good guy, a God-led man, he doesn't confuse your spirit,
- 1:33trigger your anxiety, or make you question your worth.
- 1:36He creates safety, consistency, and clarity.
- 1:40So today I want to walk you through seven signs you're dating a good guy,
- 1:44because some of you might be out there dating.
- 1:46And if you are, here's some signs for you, sis.
- 1:49And we're not doing this based off of culture and not from trauma.
- 1:53We're coming from a place of wisdom.
- 1:56All right, so let's begin your royal training today.
- 1:59Seven signs. Number one, you feel safe and respected, not just physically,
- 2:05but emotionally and spiritually too.
- 2:08A good guy doesn't pressure you, rush you, or push past your boundaries.
- 2:13He honors your no without punishment. He doesn't make you feel guilty for having standards.
- 2:18You don't feel like you have to earn his affection or prove your value.
- 2:24You feel safe being a woman with a crown. Because respect is not something you
- 2:29negotiate, it's something you recognize.
- 2:32So number two, sign number two, he communicates clearly and honestly.
- 2:37A good guy is not confusing. He doesn't disappear, breadcrumb,
- 2:41or leave you guessing where you stand.
- 2:43His words match his actions. Let me say that again. His words match his actions.
- 2:49His intentions are clear. His communication is consistent.
- 2:53You don't have to decode text or analyze tone. You don't spiral wondering what
- 2:59he meant. Clarity is kindness.
- 3:01Confusion is not kingdom. Number three, he shows up during hard times.
- 3:07Anyone can show up when things are easy. A good guy shows up when life gets real.
- 3:14When you're tired, when you're emotional, when you're walking through something
- 3:17heavy, he doesn't withdraw, minimize, or avoid you. He doesn't make your pain inconvenient.
- 3:24He offers presence, not perfection, because consistency in hard seasons reveals character.
- 3:32Sister, I want to say that one again.
- 3:35Consistency in hard seasons reveals character. Here's number four.
- 3:39Number four, he supports your growth in God calling.
- 3:42A good guy is not threatened by your healing, your growth, or your obedience to God.
- 3:47He doesn't shrink you. He doesn't compete with you. He doesn't mock your faith or your boundaries.
- 3:53He celebrates your evolution. He encourages your purpose. He respects your walk
- 3:58with God, even when it requires patience.
- 4:01A man sent by God will never pull you away from God.
- 4:06You know, my guy never pulled me away from God. He absolutely has been a part
- 4:11of my evolution, of my healing and my growing.
- 4:14Number five, you can be yourself around him.
- 4:18You're not performing. You're not masking. You're not editing yourself to be chosen.
- 4:23You can laugh freely, cry honestly, speak openly, rest deeply.
- 4:28You don't feel like you're too much or not enough. You feel accepted,
- 4:32not tolerated. A healed woman thrives where authenticity is welcomed.
- 4:38Guys, this is a game changer.
- 4:41Make sure you can be your full self around him.
- 4:45Number six, your core values and life goals align.
- 4:50Attraction fades, values remain. A good guy doesn't just want you.
- 4:56He's walking in the same direction as you.
- 4:59Your faith, vision, morals, and long-term goals align.
- 5:03You're not trying to convert him, fix him, or drag him into purpose.
- 5:07You're building toward the same future.
- 5:11Alignment is not chemistry. It is agreement.
- 5:15Number seven, you feel calm, not anxious.
- 5:19This one is big, sis, so lean in.
- 5:22A good guy brings peace, not obsession, not fear, not emotional highs and lows.
- 5:30Your nervous system can rest around him. You don't feel an edge,
- 5:34insecure, or consistently afraid of losing him because God-led love does not feel chaotic.
- 5:41It feels safe, steady, secure.
- 5:44Anxiety is often a signal, not a sign of passion.
- 5:48Now, I do want to say something. If some of you are coming from trauma,
- 5:53which I was coming from trauma,
- 5:55being in a healthy, safe relationship can bring on some anxiety for you. I know that it did for me.
- 6:03But none of that anxiety actually was based off of him and his actions.
- 6:09It was based off my own chaotic mind. Like I had been in chaos for so long. I didn't know.
- 6:16I didn't know how to do the healthy dating thing.
- 6:19And so he really helped me evolve in that area of my life.
- 6:25And so what I'm saying when I speak this is because he's not chaotic.
- 6:31So if you are constantly anxious, triggered, or confused by him,
- 6:35it's not because you're too sensitive.
- 6:37It's because your spirit knows something your heart is trying to ignore.
- 6:41A good guy will not require you to abandon your peace to keep his attention.
- 6:46But again, sister, you got to have peace first, especially if you have an anxious attachment style.
- 6:53You will feel anxiety.
- 6:56In a relationship if you do. So I want to say this. You don't need more chemistry.
- 7:02You need discernment. And you don't need just discernment and red flags and
- 7:06how, you know, a good guy should treat you.
- 7:10You also need to have discernment in your own anxiety and the things that you
- 7:16might be experiencing if you're not used to a healthy guy.
- 7:20So I'm actually going to do a podcast on that.
- 7:23I think that's really important for me to help you discern, is it me or is it him?
- 7:32Because I think that is so important, too, in this.
- 7:35Because I know for me, I was raised in chaos, and then I went out and dated a bunch of chaos.
- 7:41And then when God sent me my good guy, literally I had no idea what to do with
- 7:47that good guy because I was so used to chaos. So there was confusion for me.
- 7:52There was triggers for me. There was anxiety for me. But that was me.
- 7:57It wasn't based off him. And he actually helped me work through those,
- 8:01the anxiety I was having, the triggers or confusion.
- 8:03Like every time I felt that way, because he was such a good guy,
- 8:07he opened space for me to be able to feel those feelings,
- 8:12have those triggers, have that anxiety, have that confusion,
- 8:15and come and ask questions to get clarity. so I felt safe.
- 8:21Talk about a good guy.
- 8:23Really, I mean, these good guys and the guy that God has for you,
- 8:27he is going to make you feel safe.
- 8:29You're going to be able to bring all of those triggers or anxiety or anxiousness
- 8:34or fear, confusion that you're feeling, and he will actually help you work through that trauma,
- 8:41that chaos that you're used to. My guy did.
- 8:45He is such a blessing, literally the biggest blessing, one of the biggest blessings
- 8:50that God has ever given me.
- 8:52That's why I always say, wait, girl, wait for the guy that God has for you.
- 8:57It is worth the wait, sis, seriously.
- 9:00So I hope this helped you today, ladies. I love you so much,
- 9:03and I will see you on Friday. Have a wonderful rest of your day. Bye for now.
- 9:08Sis, you did that. You showed up for your healing, and that is royal energy.
- 9:13If this episode challenged you, grew you, or called you higher,
- 9:17share it with another sister who's ready to reclaim her crown too.
- 9:21And if you've got 30 seconds, it would bless me big if you'd leave a review on Apple Podcasts.
- 9:26It helps more women step into their royal identity and join the Good Guys Society movement.
- 9:32Until next time, keep your crown on, your standards high, and your heart in royal alignment.
