I might write a lot about love, but I’m not exactly the gushy romantic type. This last week has been truly humbling, however. I am so pleased with all the support for my new book Date Expectations and am feeling grateful for the love.
My pals over at The Urban Dater interviewed me for this sweet post about my book. I share a few tips on dating and making a relationship work, so check it out. Also, they created these really cool graphics that I will be using from now on. Just cuz.
On my latest post for Digital Romance, I talk about risk-taking when it comes to dating. Many of us fall into our roles when it comes to relationships, so we tend to go after the same kind of guys. When you gather your courage to date outside of your comfort zone – guys who aren’t really your “type” and won’t allow you to play your typical relationship role – you widen your options. For example, if you go for guys who are aggressive because you are independent and assertive, you might find yourself with the same issues. Dating jerks. But what if you dated someone who was different? Who took a non-confrontational approach? How would this push you to act differently?
I wanted to write this book to start a real conversation about dating. Most of us still want the same thing – a relationship. I wanted to explore the nuances that keep people from connecting. I wanted to show that there is a different, better way to date.
Thanks for letting me share.
And thanks most of all to the ladies who helped me with my trailer:
