    Chapter 39: If You're Going to Judge me, Judge me. Bye!

    enFebruary 15, 2021
    The Book of Love

    About this Episode

    This week's chapter we sit down with the lovely Melissa to talk about the modern dating world, and what it is like to date when you have MS. Melissa educates us on what MS is, what it looks like, and how it is different for everyone! When I first sat down with Melissa my vision of MS was taken from my cousin's experience, and then all of those preconceived notions were blown out of the water as I got to know her. Not everyone needs a walking aid, not everyone is in a wheelchair, and not everyone has symptoms. This was such a humbling interview, and I hope this Chapter gives all you listeners some perspective that your dating experience isn't that limited. Melissa says, don't give up and keep going. Just put yourself out there. If you're going to judge me, judge be. Bye!

    The Book of Love Hotline #15

    The Book of Love Hotline #15
    This week we have another Hotline. We answer three questions from our followers. 

    Q #1: Hello Jean-eva, I need help, my last partner of seven years was a narcissist. It has been three years since that relationship and I started dating six months ago. I met somebody really great but I think it may be too good to be true. I’m not seeing any signs of him being a narcissist but it is going so well. I have this overwhelming feeling to end it. Am I being crazy?


    Q #2: I went on the best first date last week, he’s so handsome, I was so attracted to him. I felt instant chemistry and we agreed on almost everything we discussed. He walked me to my car and gave me a hug. I said I had a great time and we should do it again and he said me too, let’s do it again! and then we went our separate ways. When I got home I texted him and said I had a great time, thank you so much for dinner, and I haven’t heard from him since. Did I mess it up by sending that text? Did I seem too eager? Also, why would you say let’s do it again and then not reach out and plan something, it’s so rude. I don’t understand, we had so much chemistry 

    Q #3: I’m an autistic adult and I have a really hard time online dating, I find first dates hard because conversations with me are different from conversations with a neurotypical person and I can never get on a second date. So I added the fact that I’m autistic to my online dating profile, but my matches went down to almost nonexistent. It was the Hinge prompt that said “something you should know about me” and I said “I’m autistic” almost zero matches then I took it off my profile but would tell someone after a few texts and then they would disappear, what should I do? I’m almost about to give up.

    Chapter 93: Avoidant Attachment - Part 4/4

    Chapter 93: Avoidant Attachment - Part 4/4
    Our fourth and final part of our series on attachment styles. We talk to a woman who resonates with an avoidant attachment style. We discussed qualities that resonate with her, which was very eye opening. Becoming a brick wall, not being vulnerable, being the busiest person in the world and canceling dates last minute. Filling your calendar so full, no romantic connection can ever have the time to truly get to know you. Are you guilty of this?
     
    What did you think of this attachment style series? Did you learn something about yourself, or even someone you've dated in the past? 
     
    If this is your first introduction to attachment styles, I recommend reading the book 'Attached' found at any major book store or Amazon.
