Why does dating have to be so complicated!?!? Stop looking for the red flags and start finding things you like in the new people you meet. More optimism. Less frustration! Like attracts like. You need to find your own joy before you invite someone into your life!

Sometimes the stars align, and you have a first date with someone where things just click - on every level - and it feels magical. It can bring back your hope for dating.
