I’ve been asked this question several times a week for the last 10+ years.

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...

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...

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?

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...

You know it’s bad . . . but your addiction keeps you going back for more. This is nothing more than a formula for heartbreak.

People think going on a date with someone is simple. You dress up, groom yourself, and head to an overpriced bar. Then you talk, ask questions, blah blah blah. Gulp down a few drinks. Maybe a kiss. End of story. Well... that’s not bad. But do you really want to be just the “not bad” person in their head?
