Since launch in June 2015, Heartalytics has published A LOT of great advice, research and original storytelling. As editor, I felt it would be helpful to our readers to create a monthly snapshot of past content. This isn’t just any past content, of course…
Look to these snapshots for quick, no nonsense tips that get right to the heart of the matter…a dating instruction roundup, if you will.
Enjoy these short, sage snippets of input and encouragement on us:

You may be surprised to discover that your worst case scenario almost never comes to pass.

On date planning:
The bad news (read: reality): there is no such thing as a perfect spot. The good news: you can make it perfect by interacting with the environment and your new acquaintance with equally positive intent.

On dating after divorce or an ended relationship:
Your heart isn’t dead, it’s just still in the ICU, so don’t push yourself until you’re legitimately feelin’ it.
(8/7/2015, To Date or To Wait)
If, in trying to impress a lovely new person, you find yourself getting a reaction you didn’t expect, just back up, perhaps apologize, but don’t make excuses. There is nothing sexy about excuses, especially an excuse that makes you look manic and confusing.
