Hello Lovers,
This week on IG I shared a photo of myself with bird poop on my leg. Sexy, right? Seeing that photo just made me think about dating. (Stay with me.) Of course, it’s not ideal to get pooped on but somehow I managed to keep on smiling and actually find the silver lining and purpose in it. (Really needed a good laugh that day.) And the parallel in this to DATING is SO REAL. You’re going to get shit on (hopefully not literally) when you’re putting yourself out there and dating. You just are. But no experience or time is wasted. There are NO BAD DATES. No wasted connections. They are all exactly what they’re meant to be. We can’t dwell and give up a perfectly good beach day just because we get shit on by a seagull, friends. Just like we can’t waste a perfectly good life because we got shit on or disappointed by a date or mate. It’s all relative. Wipe it off, FEEL IT but always keep it movin’. Focus on what’s good. Focus on what you learned and how you expanded in your experience and be bold enough to open up again. One of these days, one of these dates will land juuuuuust right. Promise. xo

HOT TOPIC: Modern Dating Rules Everyone Should Follow
Today’s dating culture differs vastly from even five years ago. Everything from texting etiquette to when to become intimate makes for a sometimes-confusing modern dating landscape. Consider these 10 modern dating “rules” to create a bit of a road map helping you reach your destination of a happy, healthy relationship more efficiently.
TOP 3: Tips on How to Flirt
Use Body Language: Maintain good eye contact, but don’t stare. Smile genuinely—it’s one of the easiest ways to show interest. Lean in slightly when the person is speaking, and mirror their body language subtly. Touching, like a light brush on the arm, can also be effective if it feels natural.
Playful Teasing: Light, playful teasing can create a fun dynamic. Make sure it’s friendly and never mean-spirited. Keep the tone light—compliment them with a playful twist.
Show Genuine Interest: Ask open-ended questions to get them talking about their interests, and listen actively. Compliment them sincerely. It’s important to be specific—highlight something unique about them that you genuinely appreciate. Be yourself and keep the conversation flowing naturally. Authenticity is key in building a connection.
