Finally! Whew we finished. Reggie completes the five part mini-series with this episode.

After asking yourself, Have I Let Go, Have I Gotten Back To Me, Why Do I Want to Date, and What Do I Bring To The Table, how about you ask yourself...Do I Have The Time To Date?

You've been single and independent and been able to do things when you want to do them. Now you're dating and you have to give some of that time to the dating experience to your new potential partner. Do you have the time for that? Are you sure you want to?

Hopefully this series has given you more insight and has helped you answer the question, 'Am I Ready To Date?'

Part 4 of 5
When we are looking to get back into dating, we always want to make a list of expectations of our potential mate…I want them to be like this, I want them to have this, I want them have that, etc. But have you ever asked yourself, “What do I bring to the table?” “What can they expect from me?” 

Today’s question is “What do you bring to the table?”

What do you expect from your potential mate or you new dating experience and is it okay to ask them to bring things to the table that you can’t or don’t?
