Type A: Open Heart

“Hopeful, Romantic, Trusting”

type A

IF YOU SCORED MOSTLY A's:

You are someone who still believes in love.

Your heart is open. You fall easily. You hope romantically. You see the best in people. You give chances. You’re optimistic that love will work out.

This is beautiful—but it can also leave you vulnerable.

WHY YOU'RE HERE:

You might be in Stage 0 because:

  • You’re waiting for the right person

  • Past relationships ended but didn’t close your heart

  • You’re naturally hopeful and ready to try again

  • You haven’t yet learned to protect yourself while staying open

YOUR GIFT:

Your openness is rare and precious. In a world of guarded hearts, yours remains soft. This is strength.

YOUR CHALLENGE:

Not everyone deserves your open heart.

You may:

  • Miss red flags because you focus on potential

  • Give too many chances

  • Fall for people who aren’t ready

  • Trust too quickly without evidence

  • Stay hopeful past wisdom

WHAT YOU NEED:

Discernment – Learn to tell the difference between green flags and red flags
Self-protection – You can be open AND wise
Patience – Not everyone who sparks your heart is right for you
Standards – Hope doesn’t mean accepting less
Grounded optimism – Stay hopeful but reality-based

YOUR STAGE 0 WORK:

📖 Focus on:

  • Exercise 3: Releasing Old Patterns (understand past choices)

  • Practice 2: Self-Dating (learn what YOU actually like vs what you imagine)

  • Build discernment while keeping your heart open

Key Practice:
Before opening your heart to someone new, pause and ask:

  • “Do their ACTIONS match my needs?”

  • “Am I seeing them clearly or seeing potential?”

  • “Would I want my best friend to date this person?”

YOUR PATH TO STAGE 1:

✅ You’re close to ready
✅ Learn to spot green flags (not just feel chemistry)
✅ Take time to observe behavior, not just words
✅ Let them earn your openness
✅ Keep your beautiful hope—but add wisdom

Timeline: 3-6 months of conscious observation practice

AFFIRMATION FOR TYPE A:

“My open heart is a gift. I protect it wisely while staying true to who I am. I can be hopeful and discerning. I choose people who match my openness with their integrity.”
