What you write in your online dating profile requires careful thought — after all, it’s giving the reader (a potential match) the first impression of who you are and what you’re all about. But photos require an equal amount of attention, if not more. People often have short attention spans on dating apps and websites. If…
Online dating can be a roller coaster — thrilling with your hands excitedly raised above your head at times, holding on for dear life at others. And while many think finding a potential match’s profile is the hard part, many know that the messaging stage (even after you’ve met face-to-face) can be just as confusing. To…
People like to be in control — at their jobs, of their decisions, and in pretty much every area of life — but dating can sometimes feel like you’re on a wild rollercoaster that you can’t get off. And like most (if not all) other things, we’re not in total control when it comes to dating….
You’ve done the hard part. You’ve started a conversation with someone on an online dating app or website, you planned a meet-up, and you’ve had a successful first date. What’s next? Another hard part (in case you haven’t caught on… dating can be difficult sometimes): asking someone out on a second date. I recently shared…
You’ve probably been told at some point in your life that there’s nothing wrong with a little white lie. And in some cases, yes — it’s better to tell your sister-in-law that her new haircut looks great rather than start a family war by making a joke about losing a bet with her stylist. (Not saying…
As an online dating coach, I offer a range of services to clients, from getting them off on the right foot with the right profile and photos to doing most of the dating “work” for them, leading up to the date itself. Recently, I arranged a date for a client — and she seemed less…
I’ll admit that the term “Red Flag” is overused today. People are classifying anything from someone’s taste in music (Broadway for me) to their obsession with their dog as a dreaded red flag. While those things might not align with what you’re looking for in a potential partner, are they truly red flags? As…
Ah, the situationship—the modern-day romantic limbo that leaves many of us scratching our heads, wondering, “What are we?” If you’ve ever found yourself in this ambiguous gray area, you’re not alone. Situationships have become increasingly common in today’s dating world (were they always, and now there’s just a name for it?), where commitment is often…
As a dating coach, I’ve seen the landscape of modern dating evolve at a dizzying pace. From swiping right on Tinder to sending a Super Like on Bumble, the way we meet and connect with potential partners has dramatically changed. But while the methods may be new, the fundamentals of finding a meaningful connection remain…
“Should sex with one person mean you stop going on dates with other people?” This is a question someone asked me recently. In my line of work as a dating coach, things come up in all areas of the early dating process—how to use the apps efficiently, what to do/say on a first date, when/what…
Should We Have “The Talk”? When? How? Question: “I have been dating someone for three months, and we’re exclusive (not seeing other people). I’m ready to define the relationship (DTR) but don’t want to lose him if he’s not ready. How to have the talk?” My response: “For better or for worse (and I hope…
