After a date today were I found I mostly agreed on alot of edgy topics (open relationship versus normal relationship) that the girl brought up, however I cant tell if it mite of seemed like I was validating myself to the girl. Which brought up a bigger question which is "how do you tell the difference between self validation and agreeing?". Obviously being confidence and standing up for other bits you agree on, plus adding in other parts would be agreeing but could it also be validation?
