Navigating modern dating feels overwhelming — especially if you’re single, insecure, and tired of first dates that never turn into second dates. If you want to know the REAL rules of dating that actually help you find the right partner (not the manipulative “rules” from the 90s), this video breaks down the core principles that truly matter. In this episode of the Broken to Brave Podcast, the love coach Donna Barnes shares the essential dating rules that help you stay true to yourself, stop playing games, avoid toxic manipulators, trust smart (not blindly), and finally attract someone who is emotionally healthy and ready for long-term commitment. Whether you struggle to trust people, keep choosing red flags, or keep losing yourself in relationships, these guidelines will help you date with confidence, slow things down, keep your boundaries, and build a real connection that actually lasts. If you’re hoping to meet your forever person, this is the dating advice you’ve been waiting for.❤️ Work With DonnaIf dating feels exhausting or confusing, I can help you create healthy, secure connections and meet the right partner.👉 Coaching info: https://www.donnabarnes.com/virtual-coaching/🔔 Subscribe for weekly dating and relationship insightsIf you want to become more confident, more emotionally aware, and better at choosing partners who choose you back, subscribe to the channel and turn on notifications.Visit my new store: https://www.donnabarnes.online/#DatingAdviceForMenAndWomen#TrustAndRelationships#FindYourForeverPersonDonna Barnes is an New York University Certified Love Coach, Breakup Specialist, Podcast Host, and Author of Giving Up Junk-Food Relationships: Recipes for Healthy Choices. https://amzn.to/3gFykPS💔 Ready to become the best version of yourself?👉 Breakup Recovery Program https://www.donnabarnes.com/breakup-recovery/ — 10+ HOURS of expert coaching videos, quizzes, and checklists to help you heal and move forward stronger than ever.
