I did try bumble once, but reaching out to the men first just didn’t sit right in my spirit. Not saying it’s a bad thing, but definitely not for me. Especially if you want him to lead. Allow him to express his interest in you. Just my personal preference. Keep shining Queen…take your time and allow God to lead you in this season. ❤
Even if hypothetically or realistically speaking you think you don’t have a lot to lose you shouldn’t date down. No matter where you are , the person you’re with should inspire you to be better and want you to be better
I can always tell when Maya has a date, she’s EXTRA excited and jittery. I do admire your optimism on date nights. I’m usually like whatever happens happens, Jesus take the wheel.
I have been watching you Maya for years. This year I made a decision to improve my overall life. When I first started out on this journey I felt alone and unsure because change requires separation a lot of times, which includes friends. I was like God I feel so alone on this journey. Then one day I opened up TH-cam and your new journey was in direct alignment with the direction God was putting me. Ever since then you’ve been my TH-cam bestie lol. Thank you for these videos and sharing this journey with us ❤.
I heavily relate to making sure I genuinely like the person. As I look back on most of my relationships with people I did not like them and I felt like I had to give them a “chance” just because they liked me and I found that they were nice. At my big age I am just learning to focus on if I even like the person lol
Me too Sis upon self reflection I realized I just took what was offered as if I had no other options. Every relationship was give a brother a chance.Sis let me tell you I did some Charity WORK!!!!! Thank God for wisdom and growth!
Yes, I concur. I’ve learned from experience to not talk about my boundaries. If he does something that makes me feel some type of way, I’m out. Because talking about it will make me negotiate my boundaries & I’m not in that mindset anymore. Thanks for sharing your experience ❤
Maya, my only concern is that you uploading pictures showcasing you are a new homeowner and that you have luxury pieces in your wardrobe will attract the wrong type of men.
Just curious, if you’re not dating for anything serious, why are you dating right now? Aren’t you concerned you may actually fall for someone (or them you) and they or you are not ready?
Hey Maya...I liked the black fit better. Anyway...i feel you on having standards/ boundaries; however, if just feel like you are expecting that perfect person. We are not perfect people and will have flaws (I know that sounds old but it's very true!). I also understand this is your life and you have the freedom to live it as you like. I think people expect so much so soon. We have to consider that every relationship is different and will require flexibility. In my opinion, I feel that we sometimes harm our own selves because we judge the book by the cover instead of reading the entire book before we make our assumptions. Maya, I do wish much success with your dating chronicles. Since you are a spiritual woman...Remember the good book says...."When a man FINDS a wife..." Loving your growth, positivity, and transparency as you continue to balance life and womanhood. God bless Sis 🥰
Thanks Sis! I learned quickly about myself after my divorce-6 months. It was horrible! I now have none negotiables & enjoying my life as it is. God is Faithful. Real talk... so many need to hear this. Women sacrifice too much, too often. All is well with my soul! Moving forward ✨️
Hi Maya. I adore you very much. I’m not throwing shade or anything but I think you’re doing too much. Don’t let one disappointment cause another. You’re beautiful intelligent and any man of stature would be very lucky to be on your arms.. just go with the flow and all your boundaries would fall into place naturally with the right person. Just saying. Happy new week.❤
How is she doing too much? By learning from her mistakes? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is insanity toots. I think sister girl is doing just what one should expect her to do. What I would say is guard your heart Maya, but don't let the next man pay for what the last man did it didn't do. 💕
Ladies stay off that app! Let God do what God does! Please don't be SO DESPERATE that you miss the person that God has for you!! God knows exactly where you are and where he can find you💯 He doesn't need our help.
Who you marry or date will rub off on you? yes, the degree depends though Maya. I been married for 16 years, I am not easily influenced, so I did not take on many of my husband's traits, nor did any of the married women in my life. I think there has to be an understanding that because we are all different and need different things, the way we dwell in a relationship will look different. So, even though there are things that happen generally in relationships, they may not happen the same way.
Maya, why don't you allow God to send you your mate. Trust me it works. You are marketing yourself! What's the difference between those other sites. Remember once you put those pic selling yourself you cannot reverse it... If you believe what you say about God choosing a mate for you.... you are surely trying too hard...let God
I think you are trying too hard; I realize that‘finding” the one is important to women wanting to marry. But what about if God wants you to stay single? Or He waits till much later in your life to send you a husband. It’s His will and not ours. Just some thoughts of mine. I am not being negative, just remember God is in control and has all the power. Your points were excellent ❤
Having standards/ boundaries are top tier❤ I don't know if I like the idea of talking to them first on the dating site it's like being out in public and saying excuse me and start "shooting your shot" nope lol he needs to find me and I will decide from there!
It complemented her well but men are extremely visual… bottom portion leaves potential for mixed messages. She has great goals and I’d hate for her to be lusted after so early on.
@@Teytey871 I get what your are saying but u feel like she would be bodacious no matter how much she covers. She will just need to vet even more of motives/ intentions
You’re using this time to plant seeds, Maya, it’s beautiful. Even if you never swipe on the man God has for you, God may reveal the fruit of a relationship in a later season with a man you passed by. The significance is you saw him now, but your blessing is still maturing and growing into ripe fruit. Your obedience began when you prayed and put yourself in spaces to meet qualified men. God has a funny way of reminding us that He is full control. Stay encouraged, Maya. Loving the content❤
Hey Maya! The white dress looked very sophisticated! Good choice! The black was cute too. Hope you enjoyed your date! I’m glad you are dating around. Enjoy your singledom! When you meet “Mr. Right”, God will let you know! Happy Sunday! ❤
The statement of dating your standard or higher because you have a lot to lose really hit for me. I feel I often here date above but that having a lot to lose shifted my perspective.
10:31 my ex was extremely pessimistic. He absolutely drained me. I always felt like I needed to regulate his emotions because he was quick to anger and upset. Exhausting!!
Maya darling, you have morphed into a beautiful and self-confident butterfly. You have me in owe every week when I see you in a new video. Keep up the great work. I am excited to see what you do and say next.❤❤❤
Sis, there is nothing wrong with dating as the main aim of dating is to gather data and, in the process, you discover more about yourself and what you are looking for. In doing so, you're better able to discern certain behaviours very quickly. Similar to how you are re-discovering who you are in Christ and put negotiable or non-negotiable standards/boundaries in place, sometimes had we not been through what we've been through, we will continue to accept the things that are not for us. No more settling for who is not for us but to await God's best for us and in the process, we are deepening a healthy relationship with ourselves and Christ.
Dating online scares the heck out of me, some men are literally looking for a hookup not marriage, and I would feel so uncomfortable pursuing the man first, if I am going to meet someone let it be at an event or outting that that we’re both attending and we make a connection and see if it’s worth pursuing. Theses men real spicy nowadays, in too much of a rush relationships should grow organically, not give me your list of what you want in a man, I’ll let you know when it’s necessary, just keep being you and time will always reveal who’s in it for the long haul. Blessings sis❤❤
Honestly, I hope this was only a video because of your sponsorship because you just need to leave dating content alone. I truly want to know what drove you to get married cause how are you realising these things now after you told us that god told you thats your husband. you do not seem to have any great relationship experiences
Hi Maya, you are so beautiful! Both were cute! But the black was my favorite & looked effortless & elegant. The white dress was cute, but didn’t stay in place. I don’t like to fidget in my clothes ❤
I hope the lesson in your growth is this, that a person is male does not a leader make. Always keep that in mind, you can see a leadership mindset before a relationship is established.
Hey yall.M ay you look gorgeous in both outfits. I actually would not choose either outfit on a first date.. The white color looking dress seems kinda event type dress and the black I would'nt show mid driff skin at all.. I would wear a bodycon type dress with a lil back out or criss cross type design around the neck or a nice dressy jumpsuit (not leggins type cat suit) thats straight leg or even a nice top like off shoulder with some cargo style semi dressy pants with the scrunch bottom
Hi Maya- hope this reaches you. You talked about not having a strong father figure in your life. I really encourage you to watch at least one of RC Blakes’ videos on healing before your next date. I was raised by and have an EXCELLENT relationship with my father and Bishop Blakes still touches me. I pray he touches you. Trust me- his advice will make you stronger.
Since you like high value men (mentally and Financially) you should be on sites, at places where only the elite frequent. Online, you need to apply and be verified that you are who you are and have what you have before you can match or search the sites. Elite men don't have time to play/waste. It will eliminate the chance of at least Financially incapable suitors having access to you. Part of elevation is changing your plan of action along with execution 😉 We in ATL Maya...pray before these dates and we will be praying for you. Can't wait for the "post-date tea" 😂❤❤❤❤
Hey Maya...loved today's video ❤. Quick question from a younger sis, how do you differentiate settling on your standards and not compromising while at the same time not expecting perfection from an imperfect human?...
@beauty_nguka I know this question was directed at Maya, but I'll respond since there's no reply, and this might help. I'd say the first step is to know what your standards are and why they are important to you. It's important to differentiate between standards (Non-negotiables i.e things that have dire consequences and affect you negatively if you ignore them E.g your core values) and Negotiables/qualities that are nice to have but you can ignore, because they have a less negative effect on your well-being if overlooked. Once you can differentiate between those and their significance in your life, you will be able to prioritize and know what standards you must keep and what minor imperfections you can overlook. Another way to gauge is their response when you point it out. Are they arrogant and dismissive about it? Ask yourself: will I be okay if this never changes? If the answer is no, then let them go; that's a standard you shouldn't let go of. If it's something not as important and you can ignore and still be happy, that can be overlooked. PS: Don't ever fall into the temptation of second-guessing yourself about your non-negotiables, some might try to gaslight you by reminding you that you aren't perfect too but stand on business as regards the non-negotiables. You deserve to be happy and fully satisfied. Compromising those will only lead to heartache and depression if you remain in an unhealthy/ unwholesome relationship. ❤❤
Maya!!!! You have no idea how this content is helping so many of us!! Especially me. Never had anyone to really talk about this topic and explain/suggest ways to go about certain things of this nature. Also the growth I have seen in you is just amazing. Please keep going and keep empowering us! ❤️❤️❤️🫶🏾
Please get off this merry go round. Keep your dating life private because when we give our opinions you get defensive and upset. I really could do without dating advice and just enjoy your cooking, makeup, and home decor advice.
No 4 is a non-negotiable for sure! He has to not only know God he has to have a personal relationship with Him! How can a man lead unless he know Who to follow 😊🙏🏽
Yes, raising your standards are important. However, that means nothing if you don’t stand in your standards. That requires discipline. Also, do you really believe in women approaching men first on a dating site?
Glad someone asked it, because I see a lot of these high value influencers promoting Bumble and encouraging women to make the first move. I bet they are doing that only for sponsorship and not in real life. It's so cringy to me. Y'all got these men out here feeling like baddies and the price. I'd rather mop an ocean before I make the first move on a guy😑. To each her own✌️. Oh! I hope Maya answers your question🙂❤.
@@Dr.Mmadili. I’m okay if she doesn’t answer my question. That new aged belief is all part of the agenda in regard to what’s going on in this generation. They just want that coin, I’d take that piece of advice with a grain of salt.
Also, we have to allow a man to talk to other women to see how he treats them. Such as those women in his life. His mother, sister, X’s etc. Or in general women in the community
Maybe it’s me but… after my breakup I grieved for a long time before even thinking of putting myself out there again. And I certainly wasn’t on my social media platforms giving out advice.
The black was a better and classy look. Pls pls be careful.. men will mirror your wants and desires until they can’t anymore and that can be 1 day-10 yrs. Blessings to you and your new journey.
I hope you wore the white . Better than wearing the stomach out . Not bad but not first date vibes either . Loved this video and I absolutely agree. I don’t even respond to text after a certain time . If they invite me to their home or wanna come over to soon I automatically stop talking to them
I understand exactly what you saying. No one is perfect. My daddy was a gd father. The way that he did for us with growing up as far as cars and the way he treats my mom also our vehicle and a whole list of other things. If the man I'm dating is not doing that I'm not interested in him. He has to be working and want something in life. Be respectful and going to church. The list goes on. 😂😂😂
I gotta be honest. Your bumble is an advertisement that will attract scammers. I think you showcasing that you’re a homeowner is a bad move. I think you should have two pictures up. The one with the hat on and a full body pic that doesn’t show skin or a form fitting dress. Like the last pic.
i loved the black because it seems that you would have been focusing on keeping the dress down. black looked like date night the cream looked more business
Ya girl been WORKING! Lol. So I didn't have time for this to be a full weekly vlog. So we'll be back with a regular weekly vlog next Sunday! 🫶🏾
Make sure you take time to heal and pray for God's will over your life in relationships or whatever area.
I did try bumble once, but reaching out to the men first just didn’t sit right in my spirit. Not saying it’s a bad thing, but definitely not for me. Especially if you want him to lead. Allow him to express his interest in you. Just my personal preference. Keep shining Queen…take your time and allow God to lead you in this season. ❤

Yes I feel you on that
Total agreed!
❤🎉
Same.
Even if hypothetically or realistically speaking you think you don’t have a lot to lose you shouldn’t date down. No matter where you are , the person you’re with should inspire you to be better and want you to be better
That part ✨ !!
Mya, do not share your standards with the internet. My advice is to seek friendship and let it grow from there.
This is good advice
That part they will mask themselves that’s what happened with my last marriage
I can always tell when Maya has a date, she’s EXTRA excited and jittery. I do admire your optimism on date nights. I’m usually like whatever happens happens, Jesus take the wheel.
lol same. All the excitement is cute but it mostly feels me with dread now lol
Yeah. Good to see someone being positive about it

Just curious, if you’re not dating for anything serious, why are you dating right now? Aren’t you concerned you may actually fall for someone (or them you) and they or you are not ready?
You attract what you put out. It will end up going in the way of the energy being put out.
Stay off those dating sites.

"Mirroring the essence of who he is". Wow. I never thought about that! Thank you Maya!

@@Dr.Mmadili. I’m okay if she doesn’t answer my question. That new aged belief is all part of the agenda in regard to what’s going on in this generation. They just want that coin, I’d take that piece of advice with a grain of salt.
Also, we have to allow a man to talk to other women to see how he treats them.
Such as those women in his life. His mother, sister, X’s etc. Or in general women in the community
Maybe it’s me but… after my breakup I grieved for a long time before even thinking of putting myself out there again. And I certainly wasn’t on my social media platforms giving out advice.
Happy Sunday lady🥰
I tried to do bumble but I am too chicken to reach out first so it's safe to say I deleted the app HAAAAAAAAAAA🤪

The black was a better and classy look.
Pls pls be careful.. men will mirror your wants and desires until they can’t anymore and that can be 1 day-10 yrs. Blessings to you and your new journey.
Happy Sunday Maya my beautiful friend ❤
Half way in and I'm loving every tip ❤
I hope you wore the white . Better than wearing the stomach out . Not bad but not first date vibes either . Loved this video and I absolutely agree. I don’t even respond to text after a certain time . If they invite me to their home or wanna come over to soon I automatically stop talking to them
PREACH ! What can you teach me!
Happy Sunday ❤❤
I understand exactly what you saying. No one is perfect. My daddy was a gd father. The way that he did for us with growing up as far as cars and the way he treats my mom also our vehicle and a whole list of other things. If the man I'm dating is not doing that I'm not interested in him. He has to be working and want something in life. Be respectful and going to church. The list goes on. 😂😂😂
How do you see yourself what are you willing to put up with as it pertains to the scrutiny that you will place on yourself
Hey Beautiful Maya Thanks For The Tips
It feels good knowing that I’m not the only one that has lived in Delulu Land. Cheers to raising our standards all 2024🥂
I need additional information on what "Dating down" really is. Is it all about Money??
Yes. Like, what else would it be? There's nothing wrong with that 🤷🏽♀️
@@edt003 I definitely didn't say anything was wrong with it. I just wanted to know what ppl meant; is it money only.
@@MzVee106. Mostly.
Hi Maya! It's what she said!
I agree , do not lower your standards for any man👏
I gotta be honest. Your bumble is an advertisement that will attract scammers. I think you showcasing that you’re a homeowner is a bad move. I think you should have two pictures up. The one with the hat on and a full body pic that doesn’t show skin or a form fitting dress. Like the last pic.
Truth about those boundaries
It's the "Joking but not joking" for me. Because, where is the lie!
Key Takeaways and Classic lines...
LEAD me, I shouldn't BE the only one with knowledge. 2nd..I gotta like you! #LibraTingz
I hope you had a good date!!!!
You should get your hair professionally cut after you install it. That will take you to another level. Omg
Factsssss… ❤❤❤standards are a must!!
I resonated so much with these standards
You go girl❤
So true I hadn't start cussing till I got with my dude
Hey Maya Gurl! ❤
i loved the black because it seems that you would have been focusing on keeping the dress down. black looked like date night the cream looked more business
