lets Talk Gossip

Let’s say a friend wants you to set you up with a great guy she thinks you’d really like. She mentions that in talking to him, she described you as a very stable person, very grounded and steady. How would you feel? I wouldn’t be too thrilled either. Stability isn’t sexy – it does not incite lust. It sounds like the way you’d describe someone who’s physically unattractive but has “a nice personality.”  Or someone boring but reliable. Yet stability is a trait that is key to any healthy, lasting relationship. Definition: Stable (of a person) 1. Sane and sensible; not easily upset or disturbed. We often assume that stable people are boring. Their lives are absent of drama, largely because they don’t create it. They also tend to avoid people who make a lot of drama. If we do it, they often fail to take the bait, which is maddening! When I was an actor, I learned that all compelling stories are filled with drama, and drama is born of conflict. Without conflict, there is no reason to ...

Post-dating friendship – can it work? Discover when it’s okay to become friends and when it’s better to move on. — Does post-dating friendship work when there’s no romantic interest? What about after a relationship ends? Sometimes friendships can be successful after dating, but most of the time, it doesn’t work. In this video, I share when to suggest post-dating friendship and when to walk away. A Guide to Post-Dating Friendship Why Suggest Post-Dating Friendship? Why do so many people ask to be friends when they don’t feel a romantic connection? I believe there are two key reasons: 1.

Ask yourself a few quest...

Ladies, if a man asks you to plan the date, what do you do? In this video, I share my thoughts on this controversial topic. — What do you do when a man asks you to plan the date? A woman wrote a post about this topic in my Facebook group, Your Last First Date, this week, and it generated a lot of differing opinions, so I thought I’d share my thoughts. Here’s what she wrote: “I met a guy on Sunday. He seems put together, stable and intelligent. It was a very nice connection. At the end of the date, he asked me whether I wanted to go out again on Saturday. I agreed, and a few days later, he asked whether I had any ideas for Saturday’s date. He’s been busy and didn’t have time to think about it nor research. I agreed to do it. However, a part of me feels that I’m entering the pattern of doing all the work.
