Three Things You Can Do When He’s Getting Emotionally Distant

328 Comments

A beautiful woman stands behind a man feeling sad because he seems distant.
Is it all in your head or is he getting distant?

Why do we sometimes hold on so tightly to something that isn’t working for us?

To someone that isn’t treating us the way we deserve to be treated? Who isn’t loving us the way we were meant to be loved?

You know the scenario – it starts off with fireworks, an amazing connection; you just can’t get enough of each other. Then suddenly, he’s not calling as much, he’s out with his buddies more than he’s out with you, or you just have some gut feeling that something has changed for him.

He seems distant.

Any time a relationship I was in started taking this kind of turn for the worse I did what so many of us do. I started hanging on tighter.

Yep. Break out the stranglehold.Continue Reading

Run...Run for Your LIFE!

It's time to find your true strength.

Do you really know the REAL YOU?

If someone asked you to describe the real you, would you even know what to tell them? About who you really are? What you’re really capable of?

Do you have any idea how amazing, how unique, how special, how incredible you really are?

I didn’t think so.

Because most of the time, we’re thinking the opposite. That we’re so lacking. If we could just be more like so and so. If we were thinner, sexier, prettier, funnier, smarter… whatever.

You get the picture.

We think the reason we haven’t found love, why we’re still single, is because there’s something wrong with us. And we really believe there is. When we think like that, we find that we’re not surprised we haven’t found someone. Continue Reading

Planting the Seeds of Love

Just keep planting those seeds...

My mom called me the other day and asked what I’d like to do with all of my self-help books. All 987 of them.

OK, maybe it was more like 100, but you get the idea.

They were all of the relationship books that I left at her house when I finally had the courage to head off for California to follow my dreams. I didn’t have the space to take them with me, and couldn’t bear to get rid of them.

They had been such a good friend, so supportive during some of the darkest times of my life.  Such a shoulder to cry on.Continue Reading

The One That Made Me Sick (Literally!)

11 Comments

A beautiful woman lies on the couch holding her stomach because she is feeling sick over her breakup.
I felt like I'd been hit by a bus!

It was about 12 years ago, at a ski resort in South Lake Tahoe.

It was Thanksgiving, and my best friend and I had decided to take advantage of the long weekend and get out of Los Angeles to spend the holiday with her family in their vacation cabin.

So there we were, two single girls in our late twenties headed off for a fun filled weekend at the slopes.

Skiing? Oh no. There was none of that involved.

We were there for a much higher purpose – to meet MEN!

So we spent the weekend doing what we did best – we shopped during the day, and went out on the town at night.

It all started off innocently enough.Continue Reading

How NOT to Meet Mr. Right (Part 2 – Lessons Learned)

1 Comment

A beautiful woman is on a date with a man.
Here's what I learned about the search for Mr. Right.

Remember that relationship (or whatever it was) I was just telling you about?

Well, rather than looking at experiences like that as yet another failed attempt at love (and yes, that was only one in a long series of relationships that weren't love), here’s how I've learned to look at them: as learning experiences – on the road to true love.

Because really, that’s what they are.

Yes, sometimes I used to think it would be nice to skip the bad experiences and go straight to the real thing, but the reality is, sometimes we have a lot of things to learn.

And it’s those same experiences that make us the person we are.Continue Reading

Radiant, Confident, Beautiful YOU! Part 2

1 Comment

Beautiful, confident woman laying in the grass smiling.
Here's how you get there.

I’m guessing you might be wondering just how we get to that place where you actually feel radiant, confident and beautiful.

It begins by asking yourself some basic questions that you may not have thought about before.

Like what do you like to do?

I mean, what do you really like to do. Not what you like to do because you think a guy will like you if you like to do it.

What would you choose to do with your time if there were no men in the world?

Sometimes it helps to think about what you don’t think you can do or have been told you can’t do.

Especially what you’ve been told you can’t do.Continue Reading
