*So, How Do You Build Up Emotional Intelligence?*

Glad you asked. Working on your EI can sound like a tall order, but it’s totally doable. Here’s where to start:

*Get Real with Yourself:* Try daily self-check-ins. Are you feeling on edge? Happy? Uncertain? Knowing how you feel is step one.

*Practice Empathy with Friends:* Reflective listening is a skill you can build even in everyday convos with friends. Paraphrase what they say to show you’re actively listening. This helps strengthen your empathy muscles.

*Role-Playing Conversations:* Feeling nervous about expressing yourself on a date? Try role-playing tough conversations with a friend. This boosts your confidence for the real deal.

By doing these things, you’ll not only be a more emotionally aware partner but also improve your life outside of dating. EI skills are useful.
