Welcome back! Today we're diving deep into how to have better conversations on dates. We chat about the difference between asking questions and starting conversations, with 5 tangible tips for how to have conversations that will strengthen your connection and improve your chances of having another date.

We close with a few listener questions on saying I love you, what to do when you feel like no one will ever love you as much as your ex, and how to get someone to ask you more questions.Read my most recent Substacks:

Are You Quiet Quitting Your Relationship? With Couple's Therapist Colette Jane Fehr

Welcome back! Today we hear a much-awaited update from a listener who is dating her ex-friend’s brother and hasn’t told the sister yet. Next, we hear from another listener who is dating a guy who doesn’t want to be exclusive until he gets back from a solo trip he’s been planning, and a woman who matched with a guy on Bumble who I’m pretty sure was married.

Is It A Red Flag If You Can't Visualize Your Wedding Day With Them?

Welcome back! Today we're joined by Thais Gibson, attachment style expert, creator of the Integrated Attachment Theory, and founder of The Personal Development School. Thais breaks down the four attachment styles that explain why we show up the way we do in relationships (romantic, friendships, family, etc.).

We chat about:

 * The four attachment styles & how they develop
 * What traditional attachment theory is missing
 * Why we chase familiar-feeling love
 * Each attachment style’s core wounds and needs
 * How to become more secure

At the end of the episode, Thais shares an actionable three-step reprogramming exercise to reframe your limiting beliefs and become a more secure dater. 

Find Thais on Instagram @thepersonaldevelopmentschool [https://www.instagram.com/thepersonaldevelopmentschool/] or head to her website [https://attachment.personaldevelopmentschool.com/site-links?utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=site-links&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnrOYtJbJIH-3YV26ddXI_NNzQVnkR_zWRM1jGAXEmrqWvFSA2gJHtSgy_IG0_aem_t8MmgyQVKEQz8ylQch1uYw] to learn more about working with her.

Question To Ask Before Trying Again With Your Ex

Welcome back! This might be one of my favorite episodes. We kick off with a (slightly longer) intro with an update on my marathon training (1:15), my meditation journey (7:15), and my quest to make new friends (22:30).

Next we get into the main event: a step-by-step breakdown of how I manifested my relationship after being single for 4+ years (26:20). I lay out every step I took, including my list-making technique, my gratitude practice, and the exact mindset shifts I made to attract the relationship I wanted. You can use this technique to manifest anything!

I’ll be writing this out in more depth in a Substack post. Sign up here [https://mostlydating.substack.com/abaf1a6c] to get it directly to your inbox this week.

The episode topic starts at 26:20.

Welcome back! Today we're kicking off with an update on my meditation challenge, and I open up about a recent experience that had me momentarily questioning my "the right thing won't pass you by" advice.

Next, we get into listener questions from a woman dating a man who is fresh into a marriage separation, a listener who feels like she's asking her boyfriend for the same things over and over with no results, a woman who's boyfriend ignores her when they're around friends, and more.
