Why You Need to Stop Trying So Hard

Every thing you do or say isn’t being recorded, judged, analyzed to determine just how worthy you are to receive the grand prize of true love. A beautiful woman writes the word relax on a transparent board in marker while teaching.

This is NOT how it's supposed to feel. It’s not supposed to be this hard. Really, it’s not. All the things you’re doing to increase your chances of finding him - The One, Mr. Right. All the over thinking. The second-guessing. The desperate calls to your best girlfriends, maybe even your mother. Should I or shouldn’t I? Do [...]

What To Do When You're Not Getting The Commitment You Want

if it's a commitment you're looking for, no matter how amazing he seems, no matter how attractive he is, no matter how much he seems like everything you've been looking for in a man, the smartest thing you can do is hold onto your you and refuse to commit to him any more than he's committing to you. A beautiful woman sitting on the edge of the couch contemplates the lack of commitment from her boyfriend casually reading a book.

It's what you want. The whole thing. The real deal. A fully committed relationship with him. And yet here you are again, with another man who seems to be battling commitment phobia, settling for whatever he'll give because you've gone there once again.

Your Actions Say So Much More than Your Words

You deserve nothing less than someone who calls you often and with enough notice to get together. You deserve nothing less than someone who knows what he's got in you and knows what is required of him if he wants to be in a relationship with you. A beautiful confident woman looks into the camera.

You know this scenario all too well. He's not calling you as often as you'd like; he's waiting until the last minute to make plans with you; you're feeling taken for granted. You're not sure what to do to turn things around, but you don't want to lose him; you've never felt the way you [...]

What Do You Have to Say?

What do you have to say? I know about him, I've heard all about him, but what about you? A beautiful woman is raising her hands in a field of tall grass feeling the sunshine.

I've heard what he says, you've told me. But what I'm more interested in is: What do you say? What do you like to do? Where do you like to go? What are your dreams? Your goals? What are you passionate about? Who are YOU? You can answer so many questions about him; you know everything about [...]
