Deciding whether you should stay or go, can be one of the hardest decisions you will ever make.

Now that it's breakup season, a lot of people may be debating whether or not to end their relationships. If you are feeling torn, the following information may help you with one of the hardest decisions you will ever make.

Valentine’s Day can feel like salt in a wound when you’re heartbroken. In this piece, I reflect on my first Valentine’s Day after my engagement ended—an unexpectedly bittersweet turning point in my healing journey. If you're having a blue Valentine's, this story is a reminder that you’re not alone.

Dating after a divorce can be both intimidating, and an exciting new opportunity. As hard as it is to have a relationship end (even when it’s for good reasons), having the opportunity to date to find a new partner who may be a much better match can be a wonderful thing. Add to this, that most older women would say they know themselves better, have developed better relationship skills, and are more established in their careers.

As a Dating Coach, I have a lot of conversations with single men and women about what they are looking for in a potential match.  Everyone wants to meet and be with someone they are attracted to. Yet, attraction is subjective; what one person finds attractive another may not.  That is except for two qualities I hear over and over again - and no, it has nothing to do with height, age, or cup size!  Both men and women rank “fit” and “passion” high on their lists of characteristics they find most attractive in the opposite sex.  What I find most intriguing is that many of these same people aren’t necessarily fit or living passionately themselves, though they wish they were. 

After my engagement ended, Christmas became a mirror for grief, resilience, and the quiet work of starting over. I didn’t just grieve a relationship, but the life I’d thought was ahead of me.

If you’ve never heard of a “Love Coach” just think of the movie Hitch.  In the movie, Will Smith helped Kevin James' character get out of his own way to find love. That will give you a snap shot of what love coaching is, even though it's so much more. 

“I hate dating!” Dating certainly can be a challenge, even daunting. But really, do you hate the process of finding someone to love? Dating with this negative mindset can lead to dating self-sabotage. If you’re single and want an amazing, uplifting partnership, why not begin by examining your dating attitude? Not only will you improve your chances of actually finding the love that you seek, but you’ll also enjoy the process along the way.
