Can the ladies help another lady with some good boundaries for myself and partner while I’m navigating being single and looking into dating? I already have some basics like waiting for sex and no blatant disrespect or cheating, but what else? Thanks!

The waiting for sex is a person preference until I feel very comfortable with a person and confident that they’re not just using me, but I’d like some more input on healthy boundaries while dating and weeding out the bad ones while I’m in the dating process :3

The thing about boundaries is that you already have them. It’s about what you’re comfortable with and what compromises you feel GENUINELY content with. The important part is expressing and enforcing them. You don’t ‘have’ proper boundaries if you let yourself get pressured into things, or don’t take action when someone does something you don’t like, or if you don’t express your needs and changes in them. It’s about learning not to back away from confrontation and making the choice to stop things

Well, I’m wanting some good boundaries for myself and help weeding out people that don’t respect such boundaries. I was never taught healthy boundaries growing up and my therapist doesn’t specialize in relationships so I’m asking for assistance in what are some good ones to find and implement in my life

boundaries are supposed to be about what you want, what you are uncomfortable with, and what you are looking to get out of the relationship. I can’t really recommended boundaries bc I don’t know what you want or would/wouldn’t be okay with

Then you don’t need to, but I’m gathering from multiple people to see what some of theirs are to see if they would fit my lifestyle and relationships.

You should come up with your boundaries based on what you want and don’t want, just some friendly advice.
