We All Pick The Wrong Person From Time To Time

Over Labor Day Weekend, as I was going through my life, my relationships, working with a great client, I realized something. From time to time, we all pick shitty people in our lives. If I look back at all of my relationships, I've done pretty well. I've had a couple of bad ones in there, but I've done really well. We've all picked men or women who are totally wrong for us, and we've all got battle scars from past relationships. I call it PTDD, Post-Traumatic Dating Disorder. Or PTRD, Post-Traumatic Relationship Disorder. We all have it. The question is Read more

When cancelling a date is the best plan for love

My personal rule for myself when I’m single is to always say yes to a first date. Always, always, always. I say yes even when I “know” a first date isn’t going to be a love connection.

Why your bad date wasn’t actually bad

Several of my good friends and I are single right now and we’re in constant communication about our dates. It’s really fun to have this massive group text going. I love the updates and I feel super supported as I dip my toes back into the dating pool. One thing I’ve noticed that’s been bugging me, though, is that my friends are super harsh when they have a bad date. They’ll be mad that they wasted time on a dud and really negative about the whole experience. Here’s the thing…I actually don’t think there’s such a thing as a bad date. There’s always something positive to take away. If you don’t believe me, think about these three things. Read more

What to do when you hate your first date

Anyone who’s been single for more than a second has gone on a downright rotten first date. I’m talking about the kind of date that makes you doubt that the entire human race, because if this a-hole is a human, then something is majorly wrong with humanity in general.

Maybe he takes out dental floss and cleans his teeth at the table, in front of you, and flicks a piece of chewed bread onto your plate of pasta. Read more
