I’ve been asked this question several times a week for the last 10+ years. You may feel SO ready to share your life with someone . . . only to have had dates that fizzled out or incompatible relationships . . . or perhaps you’ve remained single with no such person on the horizon. It can even begin to feel like that’s the way it will always be.   If you’re working through feelings of longing, loneliness, or sadness—or just want to feel more excited about dating—in today’s new episode, I share 3 tools that will help you effectively manage those difficult emotions, and give you real hope for the future. ► Want to Make 2024 The Year You Find Love?

On dating apps, first impressions matter. And after you clear the first hurdle of endless swiping and find someone who piques your interest, it’s often the next step that’s the hardest . . . That is, of course: What on EARTH do you say to them?! You scan their bio, hoping inspiration will strike and you’ll manage to figure out the perfect opening gambit. You think: Would a simple “hey” or “great photo” show a lack of imagination? I’d like to just be myself, but it can feel so hard to be authentic without seeming too eager . . . Many times, thoughts like these make us overthink everything to the point where we end up sending something awkward . . . or worse, not sending anything at all, letting the opportunity of connection pass us by. So how can we make an impression on people who haven’t yet had the chance to meet us and see how awesome we are? In today’s episode, I’m going to share with you 3 openers you can send right away to stand out on a dating app. ►► Pre-Order My New Book, "Love Life" at → http://www.LoveLifeBook.com ►► FREE Video Training: “Dating With Results” → http://www.DatingWithResults.com

We are often told to "trust our instincts" in love and relationships.

A bad date—where we know we won’t see the person again—can be frustrating since it wastes our time. But what’s even MORE frustrating? An amazing date with someone who just disappears after seeing us only once or twice. It leaves us wondering: “What happened??

Dating fatigue is real. Given the option, I think most people would choose to bypass the process entirely and skip directly to being in a meaningful relationship. But since science isn’t quite there yet, how can you manage your energy so the dating process—the part you need in order to FIND that relationship—doesn’t burn you out before you even GET to the good stuff? In today’s video, I share 5 tips that will help you find an energy-replenishing relationship rather than an energy-depleting one. You’ll learn how to:   • Ease into getting to know someone rather than pinning all your hopes and dreams on them. • Communicate from a place of strength rather than insecurity. • Match your investment and energy to the stage of the relationship you’re actually in.

If you’ve been in the early dating stages with someone, you may have noticed after a few weeks when you get one of those “uh-oh” moments. Maybe they didn't call when they said they would. Or they're a little ignorant about something that’s important to you. Or appeared to take something you did for granted. It might not be terrible behavior, but you know it’s behavior you don’t want to be a pattern for the rest of your relationship. So how do you handle the conversation without letting your emotions get the better of you? I.e. without reacting in a way that would hurt rather than help the relationship... In this week’s episode, I’m going to give 3 steps of exactly how to handle this difficult conversation, so that you can handle it in a productive way when it happens. This is how you make them want to be a better person for you... ►► Pre-Order My New Book, "Love Life" at → http://www.LoveLifeBook.com ►► Conquer Your Dating Fears and Reinvent Your Approach to Finding Love Again.

Have you fallen for someone who just can’t give you the same affection back? Emotionally unavailable people are the relationship version of junk food. You know it’s bad . . . but your addiction keeps you going back for more. This is nothing more than a formula for heartbreak. In today’s new episode, I dive into the psychology behind why we’re attracted to emotionally unavailable people, and why just because something’s scarce (such as someone’s attention) doesn’t mean it’s valuable. ►► Pre-Order My New Book, "Love Life" at → http://www.LoveLifeBook.com ►► Conquer Your Dating Fears and Reinvent Your Approach to Finding Love Again.

Do you ignore red flags? Do you feel like you give too much in your relationships? Do you brush things under the carpet when someone violates your boundaries? If so, this week’s episode is specifically for you… The richness and depth of a true connection can only come from giving other people the chance to reciprocate your warmth, kindness, and giving nature… Because, while it might feel selfless or nurturing to pour into others without receiving in return – it can actually backfire, weaken your connection, and make you feel resentful. I promise that if you find the courage to be honest, you’ll find more satisfaction, fulfillment, and happiness in your relationships. ►► Pre-Order My New Book, "Love Life" at → http://www.LoveLifeBook.com   ►► Ready to Get Off the Sidelines and Back into Dating?
