Listening to our gut when something’s off can save us a lot of time and stress when we’re dating . . . but what if we can’t tell the difference between when our gut is warning us and when our anxiety is trying to sabotage us? What if the red flags we think we’re seeing are actually our fears in disguise?
If you have a tendency toward anxiety, this second-guessing can make the early days of dating extra stressful, because you may have a hard time separating an important concern from your ever-vigilant anxiety.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it me or is it them?” you can’t miss today’s episode, in which I share five ways to tell if it’s a major concern or your anxiety talking.

I don’t like it when I hear people say, “You need to be happy first before you find a relationship.”
It’s not that the sentiment is a bad one, but saying to someone who is facing challenges in life that they need to be happy before they can be with someone seems highly unproductive to me.
As if it’s not hard enough being alone when we want to find a partner . . . we now also have to achieve this elusive feeling of happiness before we do?!
I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to be happy before you find a relationship . . .
You just need to be “happy enough.”

Your phone buzzes. It’s a text from them ;)
You can feel your stomach flip over with excitement. Every message they send is like sweet honey for your brain. “Damn”, you think, “I’m an addict.”
And then you fire a cute message back. And you wait...and wait…
“Why aren't they replying?” you want to scream to your friend on the couch next to you. But she’s too busy with her phone to notice.
You try to shift focus, but you obsessively check for a text every 30 seconds.
Sound familiar?
We’ve all had this agony of “anxious waiting” with someone we like. It’s distracting, it’s unattractive, and it drains you of your peace of mind every minute you sit in limbo.
If you’re sick of waiting for his text and want to finally take back your power, listen to this...

Today, Matt answers a question from a listener who feels she is independent, successful, and ambitious, but is only meeting guys who fit a more "beta" male stereotype (who take the backseat in a relationship), rather than the driven "alpha" guys she would like to meet.
Matt talks about some practical strategies to meet the right kind of person for you, and how to think about the qualities that you value and seek out in a relationship.

We all long for financial independence, relationship bliss, greater familial connection, and a generally peaceful life with fewer hardships.
But as it happens, life doesn’t care about the straight-line trajectory we've planned for ourselves.
It will capriciously take a person from us at a time we weren’t prepared for.
It will injure us when we need to be active.
It will rob us of our finances in a bad business deal we thought was a sure thing.
It will take away a relationship we thought would last forever.
And when these things inevitably happen, it can feel like we’re grieving the loss of some future that’s now no longer available to us . . .
But life is cyclical and doesn’t trend in just one direction. This is why it is imperative for us to take our focus off of where we feel we “ought to be” and make peace with life as it is today.
Because the truth is, there’s always time to reinvent ourselves, meet somebody new, or fix something broken in our lives.
And it is our job to cherish and learn from the wisdom gained from our past experiences instead of wishing things had gone a different way.
