If you’re reading this, you’ve probably recently been on a date. Maybe even a few dates with a person you really like. Or perhaps, you’re still swiping through profiles on various dating apps. It’s easy to start feeling down on ourselves when we’ve swiped through a hundred—if not hundreds—of profiles trying to find our person just to be discouraged once again after another failed date. We’ve all been there… It’s not the best feeling in the world, but shouldn’t it be?

Searching for our partner, our other half, the person we want to spend the rest of our lives with, and yet, often we don’t feel good going on dates. We blame it on the dating scene these days or society in general, but maybe it’s because we don’t truly know what we want.

Standards. We use them when we’re browsing the ice cream aisle at the grocery store looking for our favorite brand and flavor just for it to be out of stock then we’re offered a choice—pick another kind or live with an similar flavored off-brand. So, which did you pick? Off-brand for instant gratification or stick with your standards for what you truly desire.

I apologize for comparing such a complex problem as upholding standards in dating to ice cream, but love life and ice cream has gone hand-in-hand with me lately. How about you?

But, hopefully my post-date ice cream wallowing will be decreasing soon since I’ve read Matthew Hussey’s new book, Love Life, and I know now what I wish I had known years ago.

The Coach of Your Love Life Dreams…

Matthew Hussey is a leading dating expert and confidence coach for women. He’s written a few books, and his most recent one, Love Life, is a New York Times bestseller! His seminars are constantly selling out, and he creates powerful training videos and podcasts to help people in dating hell just like us.

He reaches over 10 million followers weekly, and his videos on his namesake YouTube channel have been viewed over 380 million times. He’s like that close friend you chat (or talk shit) with about all the nitty-gritty details of your date. He gets it. Matthew’s been helping decode dating everything for singles since 2008.

He’s the guy who’s deeply committed to his followers and subscribers because he’s been in our shoes before. He’s told us his good and bad dating experiences on his YouTube channel and podcast (some of which he caused!). Matthew’s really one of us except he’s a pro with expert advice.
