It’s easy to know what to do when you can easily label the experience of your date as an A or an F. But what if it’s a C+ or a B-? Ambivalence often leads women to say yes to more dates, with the hopes of gaining more certainty, but the result is typically further mediocre dates. There’s a different way to approach this, which involves truly listening to your feelings and gut reactions, and only saying yes when your gut is screaming “hell yes”.

Initiating conversation in online dating can feel vulnerable and scary. However, it can also be very empowering, allowing you to truly focus on your feelings, wants, and needs, rather than swimming through the “spam folder” of the messages you receive from others.

Scarcity mindset when swiping can lead us to compromise our values and the core pieces of our identity. By staying grounded in who you are and using this to make decisions, you’re more likely to end up with matches that are a good fit, as well as a better online dating experience overall.

Oh the dreaded photos. They bring up so many negative emotions when creating an online dating profile. To cope with this, women sometimes use filters, hoping to protect themselves from pain and heartache. However, this approach actually opens us up to criticism and judgment. Today we’re talking about why posting realistic and accurate photos is the way to go.
