Think trust is something someone “earns” or “gives” you? Think again. In this post, I’ll show you why trust isn’t a feeling you get—it’s a decision you make based on the evidence in front of you.

Do you have to talk on the phone before a first date? Some say yes. Others (hi, it’s me) would rather skip it. In this post, I share a cringeworthy date story, what I’ve learned about meeting in person, and why you get to decide what works for you—phone call, FaceTime, or just keeping it short and sweet in person.

You don’t have to know everything after one date. If you’re not getting a clear “yes” or “no” right away, give yourself permission to stay curious. In this post, I break down how to stop pressuring yourself to have all the answers by the second drink.

Why do we get so excited so fast with someone we’ve just met—and why does it hurt so much when it doesn’t go anywhere? In this post, I break down what feeling that ‘spark’ really is, why it might be keeping you stuck, and how to slow down without losing momentum in dating.

Read on to learn how getting honest about what you're looking for in a partner and a relationship will help you stop dating in circles and start making meaningful connections.
