How to Know If We Share Similar Interests: Trusting Yourself to Pick the Right Partner đ
When youâre dating, itâs natural to wonder, âHow do I know if we share similar interests?â It seems like a straightforward question, but letâs dig deeper. The real question isnât just about matching hobbiesâitâs about how to trust yourself to pick the right person. đ As a coach whoâs guided countless women to epic love, Iâve learned that shared interests donât guarantee a great match. Instead, itâs about finding someone who makes you feel safe emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally. This guide will walk you through a transformative process to build self-trust and choose a partner who aligns with your heart, not just your hobbies. Letâs dive in! đ
The Real Question: Trusting Your Inner Goddess đ
When I was on my healing journey, I thought my âgoddess womanâ needed a partner who was just like meâsomeone who loved the same books, workouts, or spiritual practices. I believed shared interests equaled safety. But hereâs the truth: Iâve met plenty of people with similar interests who were a terrible fit. đ ââïž Maybe youâve experienced this tooâa hiking buddy who checks all the boxes but leaves you feeling unseen or unsafe.
The root issue isnât about matching interestsâitâs about trusting yourself to choose a partner who aligns with your deeper needs. When you trust your inner goddess, youâll naturally gravitate toward someone who makes you feel cherished and secure, whether or not they share your exact passions. đ«
Pro Tip: Shared interests are a bonus, not a requirement. Focus on how someone makes you feel, not just what you both like to do.
Step 1: Heal the Trust Within Yourself đ§ââïž
Self-trust is the foundation of choosing the right partner. Every time thereâs a disconnect between what you say and what you doâlike saying youâll prioritize dating but swiping mindlesslyâyou erode that trust. Over time, this makes it harder to believe in your ability to pick the right person. đ
To rebuild trust, start by aligning your actions with your intentions:
Reflect on Your Patterns: Ask, âWhere have I said one thing but done another?â Maybe you promised yourself youâd stop dating unavailable people but keep swiping on them. Be honest, not judgmental. đ
Identify the Root Cause: If itâs hard to follow through, thereâs often a deeper reason, like fear of rejection or unworthiness. Healing this is key to trusting yourself.

Healing self-trust is like strengthening a muscleâit takes time but transforms how you approach dating.
Step 2: Take Small, Consistent Actions Toward Your Goal đ±
Trust grows when you do what you say youâll do. To choose the right partner, take small, consistent actions that align with your vision of love. These actions prove to yourself that youâre reliable and capable of making choices that honor your needs. đȘ
Hereâs how to start:
Set Clear Intentions: Decide what you want in a partner beyond interests. For example, âI want someone who makes me feel emotionally safe and spiritually aligned.â
Act on Your Intentions: If you say youâll only date people who respect your boundaries, stick to it. End chats with matches who push you too fast. đ«
Start Small: Commit to one action per week, like sending a thoughtful message to a match who seems kind or saying no to a date that feels off. Small wins build confidence.
Each action reinforces your trust in yourself, making it easier to choose a partner who feels right for your heart and soul.

Step 3: Focus on How They Make You Feel, Not Just Shared Interests đ„°
Instead of fixating on whether you both love yoga or sci-fi movies, pay attention to how a potential partner makes you feel. Safetyâemotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentallyâis the true indicator of alignment. đ
Ask yourself these questions when chatting or dating:
Emotionally: Do they listen to you without judgment? Do you feel understood? đŁïž
Physically: Do you feel at ease around them, or do you tense up? đ§
Spiritually: Do they respect your beliefs, even if theyâre different? đ
Mentally: Do they engage your mind and inspire you to grow? đĄ
For example, you might meet someone who doesnât share your love for hiking but makes you feel safe by checking in after a tough day or respecting your spiritual practices. Thatâs worth more than a shared playlist. đ¶ Conversely, someone who loves the same hobbies but dismisses your feelings isnât a match, no matter how similar your interests seem.
Pro Tip: Journal after each date or chat. Write down how you felt in these four areas to sharpen your self-trust.
Stuck on this step? If youâre unsure how to assess your feelings or keep prioritizing interests over safety, our ASCENSION program can help you tune into your intuition and choose wisely. Connect with my team here to learn more! đŹ
Step 4: Practice Trusting Your Intuition in Real Time đ
As you heal and take action, your intuition becomes a powerful guide for picking the right partner. To trust yourself, practice listening to that inner voice in real-time dating situations. Itâs like a muscleâthe more you use it, the stronger it gets. đȘ
Hereâs how to practice:
Pause and Check In: Before responding to a message or agreeing to a date, pause. Ask, âDoes this feel safe and aligned?â Listen to your gut. đ§
Honor Your No: If something feels off, even if they share your interests, say no. Trusting your ânoâ builds confidence in your âyes.â đ ââïž
Celebrate Your Wins: When you make a choice that feels rightâlike ending a chat with someone who feels unsafeâcelebrate it. It reinforces your self-trust. đ
Over time, youâll find that trusting yourself leads you to partners who align with your deeper needs, not just your surface-level interests.
