How to spot emotional availability (Fast)


Hi Reader,

If you’ve ever been on a date, there’s a 99.9% chance you’ve asked a question. Maybe even two or three. 😉

Questions are, of course, a key part of dating. But what you ask matters more than you might think.

There are the usual small-talk questions (“What do you do for work?” “Where are you from?”). However, those rarely tell you much about a person’s character or emotional availability.

Instead, I want you to try what I call strategic questions: the subtle, revealing ones that give you a true glimpse into someone’s values, self-awareness, and openness to connection.

I just wrote a new article breaking this down, including:

  • The 3 types of questions most people ask on dates
  • How some questions can deepen the connection without killing the vibe
  • 3 strategic questions that can save you weeks (or months!) of wasted time on the wrong person

The best part? These questions don’t feel forced or heavy: they actually keep the conversation englightening and engaging while showing you exactly who’s sitting across from you.

When you date this way, instead of just collecting cute stories, you'll also be collecting evidence of compatibility.

Love,

Imani

P.S. The right person will love going deeper with you. The wrong one? They’ll reveal themselves quickly: which is actually a win. 🙌

It’s also about: not feeling heard, feeling interrupted, getting defensive, poor timing, harsh tone, or trying to solve a problem when someone simply wanted understanding first. Most people were never really taught how to have difficult conversations in a healthy way. So I put together a new blog post with 12 relationship rules that can completely change the way conflict feels, making...

Hey Reader, I’m opening up a waitlist for something I’ve been building behind the scenes: Dating Redefined (The 5-Week Group Program). This isn’t starting right away. We’re looking at a July-ish kickoff, and I’m being intentional about who joins. People who are ready to not only question the patterns they've been following…The rules they've been unconsciously playing by…And the ways they've been trying so hard to get it “right” (only to end up feeling more confused, more drained, or more...

Hi Reader, I just published a new post that I’m honestly really proud of. It’s called: Dating Advice from a 12-Year Relationship (If I Had to Start Over, I'd Do This...) 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.
