This week I’m going to keep it short, but sweet.

I’m often asked for dating tips and pointers. No matter the exact topic of discussion, the “meat” of my return message seems to boil down to one thing…

Don’t sweat it. Don’t take it personally and let whatever issues or hangups other people struggle with define you, pervade your security, or rattle you. We all live inside our own hearts and heads — which means that any type of relationship with another human being will be complex.

Relax. Bring the best version of you — commit to leaving expectations, past experiences and baggage behind. Come with the vigor and courage to start anew — and if it fails, move on. Start again. Live and love to the best of your ability and you will find a partner bringing that same dynamism to the table.

The energy you emit, is the energy that finds its way back to you. So beam out some joy, confidence, and positivity! You may be surprised what comes knocking on your door.

Love wisely, 

Valerie

    It’s happened– your Springtime in Paris new relationship has hit a significant bump in the road. You’re feeling the urge to say something 180 degrees from “you’re just so perfect and amazing” to your new love interest. Congratulations– this is your first opportunity for a growth power-up!

    GIVE ME EVERYTHING YOU AM: “Love Again” by Run The Jewels

    The other week, I was having a conversation with a friend of mine who is a new father – we’ll call him Cronus – and we were talking about parental instinct. He lowered his voice conspiratorially, considered the infant in his lap and said, “Sometimes I love my baby so much that I want to eat him. Is that normal?” 

    Turns out, it’s not just normal–it’s science! Olfactory chemical signals–the smells of newborn babies have been linked to dopamine spikes in the brains of new mothers, essentially triggering the same neurological reward circuit activated when a very hungry person eats, or when a heroin addict shoots up…

    5 Ways to Avoid the Cliff of Contemporary Dating

    I have a friend who dates online… a lot. You could say she’s popular. She gets out again and again because she’s fabulous–which is obvious, even through a screen. Yet she arrives each time preloaded with every personal detail about her date–their hometown, full legal name, and family history–often even their annual income and whether or not they rent or own. IT IS RIDICULOUS. The internet is a fantastic tool for writing a thesis, but should it be used to compose a 15-page, pre-introduction memoir on a potential romantic interest’s life story?…
