Let's talk about expectations in dating and what it means to get what you actually want in a relationship. What 3 attributes help you determine if you should continue with a relationship or cut your losses early? Let's also discuss advice from Dolly Parton and Lady Gaga on love.

As promised: here are the links to the two episodes I mentioned on making a love list. The names of those episodes are: Should You Make A Love List and How to Make A Love List.

You can find them by name on Apple podcasts, if you prefer to listen there.

CORRECTION: Dolly Parton was married to Carl Thomas Dean for 58 years, not 60. Apologies for getting that incorrect.

Thank you so much!

In this episode, I discuss what to look for when you're seeking a forever partner; how to tell if someone is mature enough to handle the hard spaces in life; and a few stories (as usual) from women I've interviewed for my upcoming book.
