#Sundays With Sandy: Online Dating - 5 Reasons Why Men Don’t Write Back Jul 28, 2024

Show notes

Online dating can be very frustrating, especially when men don’t write back. You message ten men and get a response from one (or none). Why is that?

According to research, men are much less discriminating than women when it comes to swiping right. However, once they have a match, they’re less likely to contact or respond to messages. It seems like the thrill of getting a match is enough for many men. That’s one of the many reasons why online dating can make you want to pull your hair out. But I have 5 tips that explain why men don’t write back and what you can do about it.

#Sundays With Sandy - 5 Secret to Successful Dating: Mastering Good Communication Skills Jul 21, 2024

Show notes

What’s the secret to successful dating, especially in the early stages? I believe it’s all about how you communicate about the important things. But when you’re just beginning to date, it can be confusing about what’s appropriate to bring up. You’re trying to get to know and understand each other, but what if they’re texting too little or too much? Is it needy or pushy to say anything? What if you’re unsure about what they’re looking for. How do you find out without coming across as too serious early on? You want to know how their last relationship ended, but when and how do you ask? That’s what I’m talking about today.

#Sundays With Sandy - How Slow Dating Can Help You Avoid Heartbreak and Disappointment Jul 07, 2024

Show notes

Slow dating is exactly what it sounds like: people taking time to get to know each other and build connection and trust before deciding if they want to pursue a relationship. Why has this trend emerged? It began with lockdowns and quarantines from the pandemic, where everyone had to slow down and get to know a potential date virtually.

Many people have seen the benefits of slow dating and are still slowing things down so they can have important conversations with matches before meeting. They are thinking more critically about what they want and need in a relationship. Here’s how slow dating can lead to deeper and more meaningful connections.
