I think the world of all of my girlfriends. I’m friends with the hands down most accomplished, inspiring, confident and fun women on the whole planet. But, sometimes they come to me with relationship issues that I can’t believe they’re trying to resolve. Literally, they’ll ask me how to handle deal-breaker scenarios and my only advice is to dump the schmuck. So, I realized that if my bright, amazing women friends are tolerating men who are waving red flags like crazy, that means that every single woman out there is ignoring red flag behavior. And it has to stop. So, here are five deal-breaking red flags no woman should ever in a million years ignore. Read more
Here’s something to consider. When you describe your perfect partner, how often do you include baggage in your list of desires?
How many times do you look for emotional issues in your ideal man?
The chances are you NEVER deliberately look for men with baggage, because baggage comes with its own set of problems. So what if you met a guy who was perfect in every other way, except for the fact he was carrying around something from his past that still affected him today? Read more
I have so much to say about this I don’t even know where to begin. First off, as a woman, of course we prefer to be pursued.
We are feminine and lady like and we want our prince charming to come find us, fight for us and win us over. Just like in the fairy tales.
This is all well and good, but when it comes down to it, our relationships don’t always pan out to be that fairy tale that we dreamt of. Read more
I am a firm believer that if a guy really wants a girl, he chases her; he wears his feelings on his sleeve and courts her with compliments and sweet nothings until she’s his! Now in the eyes of most girls, that’s an ideal man! But this isn’t really the case these days, especially when I go out and I look around me, I see a lot of ‘soft’ passive-aggressive guys playing hard to get, not approaching girls, but rather, waiting to be approached. Could this generation of guys possibly consist of a majority of softies and game-playing lazy boys? Could be. Let’s analyze it!

In my line of work as a relationship expert, I work with cheaters. Some are funny, others volunteer, and some go to church every Sunday. Some coach their child’s sports teams, others take care of their elderly parents, and some are the sweetest people you’ll ever meet. Some research shows that, at a minimum, at least 50% of all couples will be affected by cheating.
It can happen to you.
No relationship is immune from infidelity. There is a lack of education about cheating, especially around how and why it happens. I find myself repeating the same things to my clients and continually debunking myths. Talking openly about the “reality” of infidelity is one of the best ways of protecting a relationship from it.

I know what you see of my clients and me on the show is prep for the first date and the first date itself, but I’m actually very involved with my clients throughout the entire beginning phase of their courtship—on both the millionaire and the match’s sides. Basically, until the couple decides to be monogamous, I’m there. Once they’ve committed, I take a step back and let their love blossom unassisted.
One of the many things I’ve noticed is that date three is probably the most telling date of an entire relationship. After a third date, all I have to do is ask my clients a few questions and I’ll know right away if this relationship is destined for love or a quick fizzle. Here are the questions for you to ask yourself: Read more
