Dear Permission to Be Powerful reader,
I went on a date.
Before it even started, I told her:
“I feel nervous.”
That was enough.
She stormed out.
Canceled immediately.
And just like that, the whole thing collapsed.
Not after a fight…
Or anything dramatic.
Just… the presence of a need.
At first, you want to explain it away.
Maybe she’s guarded.
Maybe she’s not that …
