Watch this video to hear my thoughts. — Most women feel they should NOT date a separated man because: a. He may not be over his ex yet, and they might reconcile. b.

I share my thoughts in this video. — A woman in my Facebook Group, Your Last First Date , posted about whether she should text after a good first date.

Watch this video to learn what to do! — My client, ‘Ann’, came to me after dating a man for nine months who gave her mixed messages. She was going through a devastating breakup, and she was depressed, unable to eat much, and crying every day. Here’s their story, a cautionary tale of what to do when someone gives you mixed messages. He was giving her mixed messages from the start… This guy had become her best friend. She was falling for him, but he told her from the beginning that he couldn’t commit to being in a relationship.
