Stop saying “Wish me luck!” in dating

Let’s talk about the whole “Wish me luck!” thing I see women saying when they’re about to meet someone new.

You match with someone on the apps.
You’ve been chatting for a week… maybe two.
He seems nice. Thoughtful. Funny. Smart.
And now you’re telling your friends (or worse, the entire internet):

     “I’m excited about this one… wish me luck!”

I get it. I really do. 

You’re hopeful. 

You’re human.

But here’s why I think this is a bad idea: You’re already giving him too much credit. 

The second you say “wish me luck” what you’re really saying underneath is:
     → “I hope he likes me, too.”
     → “I hope I get picked.”
     → “I hope this one is different.”

Without even realizing it, you’ve already notched him up in your mind. You’ve started to believe that this one could be special—before he’s done a single thing to actually earn that status.

And if it doesn’t go well? 
What happens if he flakes, fades out, or doesn’t reciprocate the same level of interest?

     👉 You’re crushed.

Not because of who he was, but because of the hope you placed on him before you even really knew him. This is wishful thinking at its best!

Here’s the thing:

     He is not special yet.
     He is not unique yet.
     He doesn’t have potential at two- or three-weeks in.

Potential is something you discover over time—not something you assign based on a dating profile and a few weeks of charming texts.

Want a better approach?
🍀 Go slow. 

🍀 Stay curious. 

🍀 Let people show you who they are.

🍀 Have self-trust and the willingness to pay attention along the way. 

Because you are not hoping to be picked. 

You are the one doing the picking. 
 

🔥Are you ready to stop relying on luck and wishful thinking in your dating life? If you catch yourself saying “Wish me luck!” or getting too excited before you've even met someone, let's chat. 👇

Because dating isn’t supposed to be about crossing your fingers and hoping for the best. 
It’s about trusting yourself to pay attention, stay grounded, and make good decisions along the way.
