Think back to a time when you had a certain feeling about someone or some place - something didn’t feel quite right. That feeling like something is off. It’s a feeling that dips down into your gut; there’s an anxiousness - like “I shouldn’t be with this person" or "I shouldn't be here.” You know to what I’m referring, right? That’s the feeling definition of intuition. The dictionary definition of intuition is “a direct perception of truth, fact, etc., independent of any reas

“People come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime.” - Unknown There are times in the dating process where you might have a slew of bad dates, crazy people, drama, men who can’t commit or unfulfilling relationships. If you go through enough of them - you might think there’s something wrong with you. I want to turn it around and suggest that the process of having bad dates can be very effective in helping you find your best match. How do I know this? Because not

Do you know the qualities that inspire a man to give his heart fully to a woman? To inspire means to fill or affect with a specified feeling, thought, etc. When a man is inspired by a woman he will pursue or commit to her, depending on where he is in relationship to her. Here are five traits that a woman embodies that make a man feel inspired: 1. First and foremost, your femininity inspires him. Your openness and receptivity to his gifts automatically puts you in your femi

There are certain people in life that we all avoid. Think about your nosey neighbor who knows everything happening on your block whether it’s about someone else's marriage, children or who just bought the house next door to you. Or, your new co-worker who doesn’t know the meaning of an ‘inside voice’ when he’s talking on the phone. He’s so loud you can hear his entire conversation and he sits two offices down from you! In dating there are certain types of people that we avoi

The world of dating has turned upside down since I first dipped my toe in the internet dating pond. But there are some things that won’t change. By nature and how we are socialized, women fall into traps that make them ineffective daters and relationship partners. Whether you’re dating online (which you should be in order to achieve optimal dating) and/or meeting men organically, it’s in your best interest to be mindful of three big dating pitfalls into which women can fall a

"Whatever you are willing to put up with is exactly what you will have." ~Anon I admit that like a lot of women I have struggled with boundaries in the past. I lacked the appropriate discernment to put fitting boundaries in place with friends, family, co-workers and especially men in love. Ultimately, I did the inner work needed in order to be able to have healthy boundaries. There are certain things and behaviors I no longer tolerate. A boundary indicates bounds or limits. I

Have you ever been in the throes of a great start to a first date and suddenly he tosses out the dreaded question, “Why are you single?” At that moment you can feel your energy level go down a notch. Your body tenses up. Your mind is racing with how to answer in just the right way. You hate this question. Asking someone why he or she is single is the worst question you can ask on a first date. What’s important about knowing this anyway? It goes without saying that many haven’

It sounds boring, but, the man who is marriage-minded is actually looking for a truly nice woman. Nice is the woman who epitomizes kind, thoughtful and empathetic. She can’t say she’s these things. A man is extracting information from her gestures and comments. It’s how she treats others in small ways which a man observes throughout the course of his dating or relationship experience with her - even when she’s not aware she’s being observed. There’s such a thing as being too

You want to meet a high-quality man. But, would you know him when you see him? If you have a history of focusing on things such as must have a college degree, earn a certain income and be at least 6' in height as examples, it's an indicator that you’ve likely missed countless opportunities to meet a high-quality man. In your journey to find your most aligned partner, focusing instead on these six attributes will lead you quickly to the high-quality man you deserve. 1. He’s co

One of my offerings as a dating coach is working with clients to write their online dating profile or helping people craft a better essay with my worksheets. There are many things that people write in their essays that make them ineffective. I want you to be effective. The most obvious is when they sound alike. How many women are equally comfortable in a little black dress and a pair of jeans? And who really cares? It doesn’t say much about you. Another top offender is “I fee
