Don’t Date This Man: How Facebook Can Help You Avoid The Wrong Guys
Published on 2012-05-03 13:39:09
It’s become the norm these days. You meet someone, you get their number, you go home and google them. You may find an inactive Linkedin account, a professional business photo, and their listing in the white pages, but none of those things will tell you as much about a guy than good old Facebook.

No more “playing hard to get”!
Published on 2012-04-03 10:31:36
Karina S. is twenty-nine and she has been playing hard to get her whole life. When a guy checks her out, she pretends not to notice. When he asks for her number, she feigns half interest. She keeps herself busy so she is forced to turn down a first date request, and she absolutely never tells a man how she feels about him...ever. Karina has been playing hard to get for so long, it's become ingrained in her thought process. She doesn't second guess how she interacts with men, she's simply on auto [..] > read more
Am I just not good enough?: Why he chose her over you…
Published on 2012-03-21 10:44:31
When I first started coaching her she was already obsessed with her ex's new relationship. Like many women, she stalked her former flame and his new girlfriend via the social network, hoping to find a a shred of understanding as to what this woman had that she, herself, did not. Unfortunately she not only failed to find the answer, she became even more perplexed when she realized the woman was less physically fit, less educated, and more needy (as evident from her many amorous wall posts).

"I wish I liked him more. He's so sweet and thoughtful. He is always on time. He calls when he says he will. And I'm not worried about being hurt this time. He's everything I've ever wanted...but I don't want him!" she cried. I was sitting on my couch with Raquel, a client I'd been coaching for only a few months. She had been dating Anthony, a software developer with a small start up business, for only a few weeks. When she had met Anthony, she had just broken up with Jay, her on-and-off boyfrie [..] > read more

Published on 2011-10-21 09:07:45
I had only been dating Palmer for a few months but I already knew I really liked him. I was twenty-one at the time and just finishing up my last year of college. Palmer avidly pursued me. I'd run into him at clubs and parties and he'd always slip away from his date and plead with me to go out with him. I thought it was exciting and romantic. I thought he was exciting and romantic. Finally after months of asking, I obliged a dinner invite and we ended up at restaurant near school. He was the per [..] > read more
What should you say (or not say) on a first date?
Published on 2011-09-30 08:10:55
We've all been there. Dry mouth. Sweaty palms. Racing heartbeat. You'd think you were about to give a speech in front of a live studio audience, but no, these are just the typical symptoms of how everyone feels on a first date. You are nervous, and rightfully so! You don't know this person, and he doesn't know you - so what you say in the next few hours will determine the fate of your future relationship. Will this date result in another? Or will this first date also be your last? No pressure, [..] > read more
Does he like me? Or is he just looking for a hook-up?
Published on 2011-09-15 11:10:50
My friend Megan called me last night completely confused. She recently met a guy online and was starting to really like him. "He's cute, smart, and very witty," Megan said to me. "The only problem is, I can't tell if he likes me, or if he's just looking for a hook-up." Of course I was intrigued, and I asked her what made her think that he was trying to get into her pants verses her heart? She thought for a second and said, "The dates we go on seem to be going downhill. First date was a nice rest [..] > read more

Health Mystery Solved
Published on 2011-08-03 14:32:41
Many of you have been aware of my recent year long health issue. I would get severe pain in my stomach every 2 months or so. It was always accompanied with vomiting and fever.
