In this episode, we break down what the ick actually is (spoiler: it’s deeper than cringe), when it’s a legit warning sign, and when it might be self-sabotage in disguise. Get ready for some wild real-world ick stories, a little expert insight, and a whole lot of hmm, maybe it’s me moments.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Follow the Date Smarter Sexier Podcast and for more tips:</strong></p><p>https://www.instagram.com/datesmartercoach/</p><p>https://www.tiktok.com/@datesmarter</p><p>https://www.facebook.com/datesmartersexier</p><p>www.datesmartermatchmaking.com</p><p>Order your copy of: <a href="https://a.co/d/d5Oy6BQ" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Get the Girl: Dating the High Value Woman</a></p>
