Grow into Love

Grow into Love I help international single women to become, manifest and attract The One for a trust-based, committed relationship. Welcome to Grow into Love Group!

Join Conscious Connections Community to get the support here:
https://sumruinal.com/free-offerings/support-circle/ This Group is for single female professionals in midlife who attract the love of their life and create lasting love relationships. The members of this group are successful in their private and professional lives, except for attracting a compatible partner and sustaining romantic relat

ionships. There are many reasons for this:

First and foremost, the success factors work differently in the venues of business and private life. Being competent and competitive in your career life doesn't help you attract your ideal partner and nourish your relationship. Love life requires learning and leading different communication and relationship skills to share life as a couple. Maybe we did not learn these skills from our role models. Also, we sometimes simply don't have time to get relationship skills and experiences. Or we are afraid of rejection and committing because we don't want to lose our powerful career image and ourselves in a relationship. Even worse, we see all the red flags popping up, but we just don't know how to react upon them. Another common reason: We react to the partner candidates who approach us, instead of choosing the RIGHT partner for us. Let us connect, share and support each other by becoming the Masters of our love lives. For more information about me, my story, and my coaching, visit: www.growintolove.nl

I'm looking forward to connecting to, sharing with and supporting you! In love, light and joy,

Elif sits at her kitchen table with a notebook and writes her list. Five things, quickly. The list every dating coach tells you to write before you open the app again.

Then she calls her mother, the way she does every Sunday evening, and mentions she has started dating again. Her mother asks only three questions.

Elif looks at her notebook.

None of her motherโ€™s three questions are written on her list.

And yet, without noticing, she has been checking every man she meets against exactly those three questions anyway.

Here is something specific to global single women who grew up in one culture and are now building a life in another.

You did not inherit one set of ideas about love. You inherited two.

When I ask them to describe what they want, they answer clearly and quickly.

When I ask them where that picture came from, the conversation changes completely.

But some of it was absorbed without us noticing:
โœจ From the relationships we watched growing up.
โœจ From what we learned about what love is supposed to look like.
โœจ From what we were told, directly or indirectly, about what a good choice looks like.
โœจ From what we quietly learned would be approved of by the people we love.

Both feel like our own desires. That is precisely what makes this question worth sitting with.

Most single global women from a collective culture who are looking for a partner in an individualistic culture have a picture in their head of what they want. A list of qualities. A sense of the kind of relationship they are after.

What fewer women have examined is where that picture came from. Because there are two very different sources.

Both can look like your own vision. Only one of them actually is.

This is the work of this week's issue. Not throwing the list out. Looking at it honestly and asking: which parts are mine, and which parts were handed to me?

She went on a good date last week.

He was kind, curious, thoughtful. By any measure the evening went well.

She only noticed something was off later, alone in her kitchen, replaying the conversation.

He fit the list. He did not fit the hunger. That gap between the list and the hunger is something a lot of global single women from a collective culture know and very few talk about.

๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ Joan dies. In the afterlife, she's given one week to choose who she'll spend eternity with. ๐ŸŽฅ

Larry is her husband of sixty five years. Ordinary mornings, ordinary arguments, a whole life built one Tuesday at a time. He was there for all of it, including the parts that weren't romantic at all.

Her first love was there for none of that. He died young, before life had the chance to test him. In the afterlife he waits exactly as he was, unchanged, unaged, undisappointing, because he never got the chance to disappoint her.

What struck me was not the love triangle. It was what the choice revealed. Joan isn't choosing between two men. ๐—ฆ๐—ต๐—ฒ'๐˜€ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐˜๐˜„๐—ผ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜†๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐˜๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ณ: ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ป, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ.

Most of us don't get a week in the afterlife to decide. We get a thousand smaller moments, disguised as ordinary days, and we rarely notice we're choosing at all.
โœจ Which parts of your past do you keep frozen, so they never get the chance to disappoint you?
โœจ Are you maximizing for a feeling, or choosing for a life?
โœจ What decision have you been waiting for the "right moment" to make, that you could actually make today?

A love story doesn't prove itself by staying perfect. It proves itself by surviving change, and getting chosen again anyway.

This is the heart of the Conscious Chooser work. Not finding "The One," but becoming someone capable of choosing clearly, on purpose, without needing eternity to prove you got it right.

This month, you turn the lens inward, toward the choices you're making before you ever meet your future partner. Because most of what blocks a clear match isn't your partner. It's the pattern you keep walking into without noticing.

Logan Ury is a behavioral scientist and former Director of Relationship Science at Hinge, whose work is built on original research and real client cases rather than dating folklore.

Here are the 7 shifts that change everything:

1๏ธโƒฃ From "I have a type" โ†’ To "I have a blind spot."
Ury names three dating tendencies, the Romanticizer, the Maximizer and the Hesitater, each convinced they're being discerning, each actually repeating the same unexamined move.

2๏ธโƒฃ From chasing the spark โ†’ To questioning the spark.
Instant chemistry feels like proof. Ury calls it a myth. Sometimes it's real connection, sometimes it's charm, anxiety or a mixed signal dressed up as fate.

3๏ธโƒฃ From narrow filters โ†’ To an intentionally wide net.
Her core idea of Intentional Love asks you to treat your love life as a series of choices rather than accidents. That starts with relaxing the filters, the app filters and the psychological ones, and staying open to people you wouldn't have picked on paper.

4๏ธโƒฃ From mate value โ†’ To unique value.
What you clock in the first ten minutes, looks, status, polish, fades in importance fast. What lasts is what you only discover over time, who someone actually is with you.

5๏ธโƒฃ From casting wide forever โ†’ To defaulting to getting to know a few.
The net stays wide, but once someone earns a second look, the shift is to actually spend time with them rather than keep shopping. That's how you learn what you want, not just who's available.

6๏ธโƒฃ From negativity bias โ†’ To the second date default.
Your brain is wired to remember what went wrong. Ury's fix is structural: go into most first dates already planning a second, and let real dealbreakers, not minor friction, be what ends things.

7๏ธโƒฃ From passive sliding โ†’ To deliberate deciding.
Relationships don't advance on their own. Every stage, exclusivity, moving in, marriage, is a decision Ury argues should be made consciously, not drifted into.

One honest note for you: this book leans heavily on data and strategy. That approach is useful, but it can make you forget there's a real, feeling person sitting across from you, not just a set of traits to evaluate. ๐Ÿ’ซ ๐—จ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ ๐—ด๐˜‚๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ, ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐˜† ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ. ๐Ÿ’ซ

You are not broken. You have habits, ways of acting that repeat without you noticing. Once you see them clearly, you can start to change them.

I used to think being ready for a relationship with someone from a different background meant having done it before. More times, more practice, more proof.

Then I actually lived it, and I realized the number of past relationships told me almost nothing.

What mattered was something quieter: ๐Ÿ’ซ ๐—–๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฑ ๐—œ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ฎ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—บ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ท๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—น๐˜ ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ณ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—บ๐—ฒ? ๐Ÿ’ซ

Having dated across cultures before does not automatically make you ready for this relationship.

It is a natural way to think about it: Has she dated across cultures before. How many times. For how long.

But a woman with a decade of cross-cultural relationships behind her can still walk into a new one carrying the exact same unexamined assumptions she carried into her first. And a woman with no cross-cultural history at all can walk in with real clarity, if she knows her own Home Kitchen well enough to notice when she is defaulting to it.

๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐˜† ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜€๐˜€-๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐—น๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฝ ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ, ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—น ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ณ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ. Not whether you have cooked in an unfamiliar kitchen before, but whether you can notice, in real time, that you are in one.

Three questions worth asking yourself this week:
โœจ Can you tell the difference between genuine incompatibility and the ordinary disorientation of translation?
โœจ Are you comparing this relationship to a previous one, out loud or silently?
โœจ Whose recipes are you defaulting to when things get uncertain, yours or a blend not yet built?

More on this in Issue 17 of ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—–๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜€ ๐—–๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฟ. See the first comment.
