So you have been dating a guy or trying to have a relationship with a man who appears to be a classic commitment-phob. Because you have feelings for him you stick around until the very last drop of hope that he may change is gone. Then you finally decide that a man like him will never commit and move on… Only to find out a few months later he is engaged to another…
Fear of intimacy is the number one reason why people stay single for long periods of time. Unfortunately you don’t always know that you actually have fear of intimacy. If you don’t acknowledge and face this fear, your old relationship patterns will sadly persist. That is why I have decided to create the following “self diagnostic” test.…
I have heard mixed feedback about online dating. Some people claim it’s the best thing they did, they found their soul mate online and are now happily married. Other people try it for a few months, have horrible time and walk away feeling gravely disappointed. Let’s talk about why this is happening.…
This may sound self-explanatory and obvious to you, or it may not. I remember years ago, when I was in college, I told my friend that I wasn’t sure if my boyfriend at the time was the right guy for me and that I was thinking about breaking up with him. Her response was to never break up with your boyfriend until you find someone new. That got me puzzled.…

Let’s be honest, fear of rejection keeps us from taking risks, and going after what we want more than anything else. I think it is the biggest block that prevents us from experiencing true happiness. Ironically, rejection itself is not as bad as you may think.
We all have been rejected by someone in life. No matter how…
I am sure we have all been on a date with someone who constantly talked about his or her ex. How does it make you feel when you encounter someone like that? If this feels icky and unattractive, consider that a good sign and move on. Other times, when you are still holding on to your ex, this can become a common ground to connect with this new person.…
Many clients ask me, where do I go to find love? Seems like a legitimate question. In fact, the fourth step of my 7 step program is about creating a dating plan. However, I see a lot of singles out there who are quite shut down, and their energy is obviously blocked from attracting love. The sad thing is that they are not aware of it and they believe that their…
So you ended the relationship that wasn’t working (or your ex ended it for you), you know this wasn’t a good relationship to begin with, some time has passed by and you still can’t seem to let go. But you really want to have the emotional and spiritual freedom in order to be open to your next relationship. Let’s explore this.
I get this question a lot, especially from women. They say they did so much work on themselves, including therapy, spirituality, read tons of self-help books and more. Yet, when they go out there, they still seem to attract men who are emotionally unavailable, not interested in commitment or simply are not their ideal match to say the least. Why is this happening? Well, let's explore...…

Fear of intimacy is the number one reason why we become emotionally unavailable to others and/or are attracted to unavailable partners. You can be consciously aware of this fear or you may not even realize you have it. Let’s explore this issue a little more.
I hear this statement so many times: “How can you tell that you’re dating someone who is emotionally unavailable soon enough? I want to know before I get too involved with this person. I just don’t want to get hurt!” Let’s explore this issue a bit.
I understand, nobody wants to get too emotionally involved with the new person they’re dating…
When your past relationships were full of drama followed by messy breakups, staying single and not getting involved with anyone can seem like a perfect solution. Of course, your biological clock as well as your need for intimacy will always be there to remind you of their existence. So what do you do? Focus on something else as a diversion? Find out in this article why this is not the answer.…
Many women I have this conversation with tell me that they hate dating. In fact, very rarely do I meet a woman who enjoys the process of meeting a complete stranger who many or may not possibly end up being “the one.” But if he does turn out to be the right one, don’t you think it was worth your while taking the risk of finding that out?…
It is shocking how many singles use the statement “All the good ones are taken” and how many of them really believe it to be true. No wonder, if your friends confirm it to you and you go out there only to see it for yourself it becomes hard not to believe it. Yet, people keep meeting someone special and getting into loving committed relationships every day. You may wonder what their secret is, I tell you what. They probably have a different belief, the one that…
