Ghosting is the new “calling” to break up with someone. Isn’t it funny that calling to break up was once considered bad form? If a guy did that in this day and age, he would be awarded some gentleman certificate or something. That sort of thing doesn’t really happen, and if it does, it’s an…

I’ve been writing about relationships for nearly a decade now, and my life has shifted dramatically during that time. I started out single and clueless, just a young recent college graduate writing about my experiences, knowing plenty of girls could relate, and now I’m a married mom. But I still mostly write for the single…

If a man doesn’t want you, you should never have to plead your case and convince him otherwise. Storytime! Let me tell you about the time a guy dumped me after two dates and I spent almost a year trying to get him to love me. We’ll call him Kevin. He and I had a…

The one thing I’ve noticed over the years as a relationship writer is that most women have no idea how they’re coming across to men. They may do things in an attempt to win his affection and then are left completely baffled when their efforts produce the opposite result. I get a lot of heat…

Let’s talk about how you might unintentionally be pushing guys away and turning them off. No one ever wants to be the desperate girl, but if that’s the place you’re coming from, then it will come across in your actions. This isn’t just about men and pleasing a man, this is really about you. If…

We’ve all been there. You’re seeing a guy… a guy you really like. Things were going well, but then maybe he started acting a little distant and pulling away and this triggered something in you and you started acting very desperate and needy, which made everything worse.  You try to undo your mistake and fix…

Getting over a situationship can be brutal… and the pain is often worse than the pain following a long-term relationship. But why? Why does it so hard to let go of something you never truly had? Why does it feel like such an immense loss? Why are you still stuck in this obsessive, spiral cycle?…

Let’s talk about some habits and mindsets that are sabotaging you from getting the love you want. The path to finding love is filled with misconceptions thanks to movies and mainstream media. All we get are false images of what love should look like and no one talks about what it takes to have a…

In this day and age where “ghosting” has become an acceptable form of breaking up (maybe not acceptable, let’s go with widely practiced instead), with endless dating apps where a guy can find someone shiny and new with a few simple swipes, a time that’s defined as a “hookup culture” when fewer and fewer people…

Lack of self-love is probably the biggest hindrance to finding and having romantic love. When you don’t love yourself, how will you ever trust that anyone could actually love you? Self-esteem doesn’t just mean “feeling good about yourself.” Self-esteem is built on being good, competent, and lovable and recognizing it. And loving yourself doesn’t mean…

Let’s talk about why men pull away and then come back. It could be a guy you’re casually seeing, or maybe it’s your long-term partner. No matter what the case, it’s disconcerting and you can’t help but feel panicked and on edge. Did you do something to upset him? Is he losing interest in you?…

A breakup is quite possibly the most gutting, painful, agonizing experience one can go through. And getting over a breakup can be a monumental task that can feel impossible, and once achieved, can give you that feeling of “I can literally do anything.” Sometimes, there isn’t much that can be done to save your relationship…

Few things can send waves of panic coursing through a woman’s body quite like a man suddenly pulling away. Things started out so great. You had amazing chemistry, the connection was strong, and you really thought he could be the guy for you. But then things took a turn… Now he’s not as available… he…

Being on every dating app and cramming your schedule with dates for every night of the week isn’t always the most effective strategy when it comes to finding love … in fact, sometimes taking yourself out of the game and going on a little hiatus is exactly what you need to ultimately get what you…

Almost every woman has experienced the panic and uncertainty that occur when her man starts pulling away or withdrawing. Maybe it happens out of the blue, or maybe something sparks it, either way, it’s a miserable feeling, one that leaves you feeling powerless and painfully insecure. You question what happened, why he’s doing this, and…

Do you find that you are mostly (or only!) drawn to emotionally unavailable men who can’t give you the commitment you want? Maybe you feel frustrated by this, you want to find love… and yet, you can’t summon even a flicker of attraction for the guys who are available and seem really interested in you.…

When a man starts to pull away or withdraw, a lot of women reflexively panic and do what they can to bring him back and get the relationship back on track. Their intentions are good, but most of the time they inadvertently make the situation worse and push him even further away. It is a…

My friend Ashley came to me in a tizzy one day. She was dating a very confusing man and needed help making sense of it all. They had gone on a few dates and it seemed to be going really well but she didn’t quite know where his head was it. Sometimes he seemed really…
