Let’s be honest... cause a lot of women are feeling it right now... many men suck. Between half-hearted effort, emotional unavailability, and situationships that go nowhere, it’s easy to lose faith in the whole process. But if you do want to keep dating (and, better yet, stop feeling defeated by it), there’s one little thing you can do that’ll save you a ton of emotional energy: 👉 Choose and commit to one of these four dating mindsets. Because at some point, we all hit a crossroads in love. Maybe you’ve been dating for years with little to show for it. Maybe you’re burned out and secretly wondering if you should just give up. No matter your story, there comes a point when you realize it's not just about the person sitting across from you, but about the mindset you're dating through.

So if you’ve ever muttered, “Ugh, men these days…” under your breath while deleting your apps for the fifth time, this one’s for you. Let’s break down the four main dating mindsets and what you’re really signing up for with each one, so you can stay focused on your goals, accept the reality of modern dating, and still move toward connection on your own terms.

It includes 13 pieces of dating advice from the perspective of my 12-year relationship (plus 6 bonus pieces from my husband). And here's the thing: I know the immediate pushback people often have when someone in a long-term relationship talks about dating is:“But dating is so different now.” And honestly? They’re right. Apps,...
Hey Reader, Fourteen years ago, I walked into a dorm room and accidentally learned a lesson I didn’t know I needed yet. I had no idea what I was doing in dating.I was hurt. I was embarrassed. I was afraid I’d never feel “that kind” of connection again. Fast-forward a few years, a futon, a hard “no,” a lost shoe (long story), and a relationship that grew despite any form of certainty. Here’s what I’ve learned, and what I still believe deeply: Love doesn’t thrive on having it all figured out.It...
Hey Reader, What do you want? Someone who loves you for exactly who you are. And then what do you do? Act nothing like yourself. And then what do you get? Someone who thinks they know you. And then how do you feel? Not great, because they don’t actually know you. And then what do you do? Usually, end the relationship. And then who do you blame? Maybe them, maybe yourself.
