In high school, the way to get a guy to like you was to fake disinterest, wait a few days to text him back, and ignore all of his attempts to get closer to you. But now you’re older, there’s a guy you like, and you want to know how to get him to like…

How do you know if a man is in love with you if he hasn’t explicitly dropped the l-bomb? Well, since more than half of human communication is nonverbal, coupled with the fact that men are even less verbal than women, we give a lot of our thoughts and emotions away through our body language.…

It’s never nice when you’re dating a guy and develop feelings for him, only to have him pull away when you least expect it. Or you’re in a relationship and get dumped, but you still love him. It can feel like the rug has been pulled from underneath your feet, as though your entire world…

Has a guy you’re dating started to pull away, and now you’re wondering how to get him interested again fast?

I talk a lot about keeping an eye out for red flags when dating and in a relationship. For example, when a guy has no photos on his dating profile, trashes his ex on your first date, or explicitly tells you he isn’t looking for a relationship – RED FLAGS! But what are green flags,…

There are universal things we all like and dislike about new relationships. Like? The possibility of meeting someone amazing on a first date and the rush of excitement and passion in the honeymoon phase. Dislike? Having the dreaded talk where you define the relationship.

Imagine this: you end up on a date with someone who seems to be your dream man. He calls and texts when he says he will. You’ve got many shared interests like yoga, cooking, and drinking fine wines. He’s kind, intelligent, and makes you laugh. He has a great job, and he hasn’t done any…

Dating can be intimidating and frustrating if you don’t know how to date with a strategy and set yourself up for success. This is not about playing games; it’s about having a support structure that will help you find a high-value man who aligns with your love vision and the future you want to build.…

You might think that first date red flags are pretty easy to spot. Ranting about his ex? Red flag. Asking you to come back to his place to “watch Netflix and chill?” Red flag. Answering a phone call and chatting to one of his buddies in the middle of dinner for something that cannot be…

They say that when you meet the right man, “you just know.” But let’s be honest, that’s not very helpful advice! Especially if you’ve chosen the wrong men in the past but thought they were right for you. That’s not to say you shouldn’t trust your intuition—you should. Use your head and your heart. But…

Dating after divorce can be a challenging path to navigate, but doing it with kids is even more tricky. It’s not just your wants and needs to be mindful of. And unlike with a regular breakup sans kids, you can’t just cut all contact and move on with your life because your ex is your…

An introvert typically…

One of the primary reasons women find themselves frustrated with dating in today’s culture is because “dating” means very different things to all of us.

Ever found yourself in an undefined “situationship” and unofficially dating someone?

How do you tell if you are unofficially dating? That’s what…

In your early twenties, being single is the norm. You’re dating, having fun, and still figuring out who you are and what you want. But as your thirties draw nearer, deep panic sets in. No one wants to be that single friend constantly being set up with men that your friends didn’t want to date.…

Picture this. You meet a great guy, and things seem to be going well. Perhaps you end up in a relationship, or maybe you don’t get around to defining it. But for whatever reason, things don’t work out, and you both go your separate ways. At least, that’s what you thought you’d agreed on. But…

“So Adam, there’s this guy, and I’ve known him a while, and I like him a lot, and I think he might like me too. But I’m not sure because he hasn’t said anything, and he’s really difficult to read (like every guy ever). We’ve got plenty in common, and every time I see him,…

I hear from so many women who are dating a guy that things are going well, then one day, everything changes. He becomes distant, he calls less, and in your heart, it feels like something is off. “Was it something I did or said?” “Is he cheating on me?” “Does he want to end things…

Have you ever wondered, “how do guys get emotionally attached to women?” I’ve been working as a dating coach for more than 12 years, and I’ve noticed that most women have no problem meeting men and establishing that initial physical attraction. The problem is developing that into something deeper, building emotional attraction, and moving things…

What exactly does it mean to have an unexplainable connection with someone? Does that mean you’re soulmates?

There are lots of terms…

What are some questions to ask a guy to know his true intentions without saying, “Chris, what are your intentions with me?” When you meet a new man and have a great connection, it’s natural to wonder where he stands emotionally. Does he like me, or am I imagining it? Does he see this going…

Picture this: you’ve just started dating a new guy. He’s great, or at least you think he is. The only problem is that you’re still carrying some (or a ton of) emotional baggage from a previous relationship. And that baggage can feel heavy. What if he stands me up on Friday night, and I look…

Honesty is definitely the best policy for dating (or anything), but when you’re on a first date with a guy, I want you to refrain from immediately spilling your entire life story. Why? Because there is such a thing as too much information too soon. This is the first time you’re meeting up and having…

Have you ever starting hanging out with a guy you were really into, but it turns out he had no idea? In your head, you were being flirty and endearing. But, in reality? You came across about as interested as anyone can be in watching paint dry. Everything about your tone of voice and body…

Are you what the world would describe as a needy dater? You find yourself wanting to control everything. You struggle to remain calm and confident when you’re apart from a guy you’re dating.

Have you ever gone out once or twice with a man only to have him dial the intensity up to an 11 before you even know his last name? “You are the woman of my dreams,” he says. “I think I’m falling in love with you,” he says. “Let’s quit our jobs tomorrow, elope in…

Have you ever met a guy you really liked, but weeks or maybe months pass, and it becomes clear that he is not ready to commit? Maybe he’s continuing to see other women, but you’re not dating anyone else (my advice is to keep your options wide open!) Maybe he’s stalling when it comes to…

One of the common complaints I hear from women is how confusing the “stages” of dating are these days. “There was no swiping, sexting, or dating more than one person back in my day.” “You’d go on a date, and if you had a good time, it was just assumed you were in an exclusive…

So you’ve been dating a guy for a while now, and you’re ready to take things to the next level. What do you mean, Adam? Like, going for drinks and dinner? Watching The Notebook?

The thought of going on a date can be both exhilarating and terrifying all at once. You’re excited to finally meet this man in person after bantering online. Will sparks fly? Will this be your last first date? Or will you end up hitting the red buzzer after 10 minutes because he’s a foot shorter…

Are you dreading watching this video because beautiful is not a word you’d ever use to describe yourself? What’s Adam going to say men find beautiful? Youth? A glowing tan?

You know how they say a picture is worth a thousand words? Well, a touch in the right place is also worth a thousand words. Plus, you’ve just saved yourself an hour of chit-chat only to get to the end of the night and find he still has zero clue that you’re into him. Don’t…

Are you in a committed relationship with a guy that feels like it might be #endgame for you? You like each other a lot, so far, he’s been saying and doing all the right things, and you can see a real future with this man. But you want to know more… about his past, quirks,…

HOLD on a second, I know where your mind went before you even got here, but I’m not talking about that kind of touching.

There are two different ways that men are attracted to a woman. First, there’s physical attraction. As in, he’s purely attracted to your appearance.

Building attraction with a man you like is important. Chances are, if you’re already on a date with each other, the physical attraction is there. But this alone is not enough.
