I’ve built my dating coaching business based on the truth that “The One” may not ever come, and if they do come, it might take a long time. This goes against conventional dating coaching, but I don’t give false hope. I got married at 51, and I’m quite certain it happened not because I made lists or repeated mantras or wrote self-affirmations (which I don’t knock). It happened because I gave up. And once I gave up, I was free. And once I was free, I was happier. Don’t wait for someone else to make you happy, get there now and be free.
