Let’s talk about getting out of the “friend zone.” I get a lot of questions about this topic … usually from women trying to escape the friend zone and enter the relationship zone. Fortunately, it’s a pretty easy topic to address. First, I will say that I relate to the confusion. A few years ago…

Love has the potential to produce massive pain or pleasure. We risk the pain in the hopes of gaining that pleasure but most of the time, it all goes awry. I can’t guarantee you’ll never feel the pain, but I can help you feel a lot less of it but teaching you a few valuable…

The reason why so many women struggle to get the relationship they want is that they go after guys who are simply incapable of ever giving it to them. We get swept up in the wrong things (the damage cases who are just oh so swoon-worthy), and lose sight of what actually matters, of the things…

One of the biggest hindrances to having a loving, healthy, happy relationship is choosing the wrong guy to be in a relationship with. This number isn’t exact, but I’ve found 95% of a relationship’s success is determined before you even enter into the relationship. It’s about who you choose. There are a lot of red…

Some of my articles are sweet and nice, others cut straight to the point and bring you truths you may not want to hear but could really benefit from. This article is the latter. Look, I’ve been there, For a large chunk of time I was not girlfriend material. I was hookup material, I was…

I lurched awake suddenly at 3 am. I instinctively reach for my phone. No missed calls, no texts. He didn’t call me back. He always calls me back. He’s cheating on me. He’s with a girl right now. I am more certain of this fact than I’ve ever been about any other aspect of our relationship. We…

Should you break up with your boyfriend/girlfriend? Here are 10 signs you should break up with your boyfriend/girlfriend from dating expert Sabrina Alexis. Breaking up isn’t merely hard to do, it’s downright brutal … that’s why so many of us avoid the inevitable! A breakup can feel almost like a death. It’s the death of…

One of the most common areas that trips women up when it comes to relationships is the gray zone, the area where a guy shows interest but nothing really comes of it, and you just don’t know how he feels. This is usually when I receive the desperate messages from women wanting to know what…

Some people are just good at relationships. Other people are awful at them and live life on a seesaw of high hopes and crushing heartbreak and disappointment. I was in the latter category for most of my single years, but fortunately, I got it together eventually and my years as a dating disaster have given…

The men who end up committing intensely are the ones who see the woman as their partner, the woman who “gets” them, the woman who’s on their side, the woman they escape to, the woman they love being around, the woman who lights up their world … This doesn’t happen if he feels like he…

I spent many, many years chasing damage cases and emotionally unavailable men (and many more years writing about these experiences and creating a career out of it!). I made the same mistake countless others make. I followed my heart, because that’s the thing to do, right? Forget about rational thinking and objectivity and a sense…

Meeting Eric was like getting hit by a freight train. I didn’t see it coming and it knocked the wind out of me. I was always the type that was either all in … or you don’t exist to me. There was seldom an in between and finding a guy that captured my attention so…

I have been writing about relationships for nearly 10 years now (man, that sentence really made me feel old!). One thing I discovered pretty early on is that all relationship problems can be solved with a few small pieces of advice. The biggest issues women face (and I’m always astounded but the fact that women…

You know that expression the grass is always greener on the other side? Well, it’s so obnoxiously true! When I was single, I desperately craved a steady relationship. Now that I’m married with a toddler and another baby on the way, I have to admit that sometimes I kind of miss being single. Is that…

Why are breakups so hard? Every day, in my inbox, on my Facebook and Instagram accounts, and in person from my friends, I am hit with stories of heartbreak and emotional devastation. I receive countless questions wanting to know where it all went wrong and how to get him back. Breakups are savage beasts. They…

I’m going to share a story because I find stories to be the best way to illustrate a point. Years ago, I met a guy who I thought was absolutely perfect for me. Actually, I had heard about him before I even met him through mutual friends, and just a quick description of him was…

Hi, my name is Sabrina and I’m a recovering Damage Case addict. What’s that you ask? OK let’s back up. I’m going to share a story, my favorite way to illustrate a point. After a string of mediocre dates that made me want to give up dating forever, a friend set me up with a…

I think getting over a guy you never actually dated is harder than getting over a breakup. At least with someone you were in a relationship with, you were there. You lived it, you experienced the breakdown of the relationship, the disconnection, the fights, the pain, and whatever else went into you both calling it…
