I’ve read the Love Life book and it really helped me feel more confident about dating. This video resonates, but not because I’m protecting my peace, rather I feel like my life is empty. I think a lot of that comes down to messaging especially for women that tell me my life is nothing if I’m not in a relationship by my age. I want to be in a place that my life is enough regardless of that, but where are the examples of what that looks like? I don’t know how to make steps towards a life that I don’t see emulated. The older single women I know are absolutely miserable and I don’t want to be like that but that’s what I’m headed towards. What do single women do to have a full life without a partner.

Thanks for the video and the candor, definitely called out my excuse for the last 15 yrs, after ending a narcissistic relationship, yet having to continue to deal with the behavior. I’ve dated, at the same time, kept the relationship at a distance because I didn’t want to ruin my space. Now that the kids are older, I find myself wishing/wanting a relationship, not sure where to start. At least I know my first step!

Isn't it just remarkable when what you don't even know you need comes right across your conscious awareness!!.... I SO appreciate you, Matthew, and all of your work (and that you are such a fan of Simon Sinek too makes me adore you more)! ... “Who’s here watching Matthew’s dating tips and not dating at all?” ...OWW!! Is someone actually watching me? haha... Yes, I definitely fall into this category. Hhhmmm... Yesterday (when this video dropped) was the 9th anniversary of my Mother's passing - an event that rocked my world to its core, and changed the trajectory of my life forever. ...Every anniversary brings a little healing wrapped in the grief, as I reflect on her, her life, her choices, and the things I can see in myself and my own life. ...One of those things: Mom gave up on love, thinking I suppose, that it was just too hard. That the pursuit of it messed up her peace more than she felt she could in fact handle. ...One of the revelations of yesterday's reflections was that I have now been single and alone as long as my Mother has been gone plus the time in her life when she chose to let go of her dream of having healthy love in her life. Yes- that long (about 15 years). And apparently, for the reason revealed to me today: Peace without love has seemed a fair price to pay for a life alone, but without agony or trauma. Or at least that's the rationalization I've been telling myself. ...If it were true, however, I wouldn't be drawn to things like your work and slowly bringing them into my life now. I worry now, that, even though I long to share my life with someone I'm deeply connected to who wants to share their life with me, I may not even know how to do it anymore. It feels startlingly unnerving when you are ready for something-- knowing you've not had success in that area, well, ever, really-- and feel desperately ill-equipped to even begin again. ...How does one learn to trust the other people in the world not to shatter or destroy them again? How does one trust oneself? #babysteps and #hope Thanks, again, for all that you share with the world, Matthew!

Matthew–This video really resonates with me. I have created a wonderful life after a devastating divorce five years ago. I’ve often said that I don’t want to allow anyone to come in and disturb the peace I’ve worked so hard to create (and enjoy!) But I do want to find love again and I can’t accept that God would allow the person who ran out of our marriage to be the last person I ever love. Thank you for framing this in such a different and more powerful way. You get to the heart of an issue so smartly and I appreciate the work you’re doing! thank you! Susan

Thanks so much for this video, Matthew. It’s exactly what I needed to hear right now. I’ve been in the dating field for so long, you have no idea, haha. I’m the most resilient person I know, and that my friends know for sure, when it comes to going out there repeatedly, resetting my button way too many times. But you’re right, the desire to find my ideal partner remains and it’s a cop-out to remove myself from the game for good, despite all the frustrations and heartbreaks and disappointments. So thank you for the reminders and valuable tips. Keep on doing what you’re so great at! I’ll find my person eventually, just like you did. Cheers!

Thanks, Matthew! I’ve been a steady absorber of your content for the past 2 years, since my partner left me. I tried dating but really struggled with it because I didn’t meet anyone I liked. Every disappointment in dating held a magnifying glass up to the relationship and the man I lost. I had it all, and lost it, and no, this man sitting across from me on a first date is not what I’m looking for. Repeat. Then, in March, I met someone I liked, finally. He ghosted me after I slept with him. I stopped dating after that. I was burnt out, bitter, and convinced that it was me that was the problem. I wasn’t meeting the right guys because I wasn’t projecting the right things. I plan to get back out there soon. I can find love if I’m not looking for it. This video was good motivation.

Thank you for this video….its exactly what I needed to hear today. I’ve been using the “I don’t want to destroy my peace” excuse for too long to mask my fear of putting myself back out there. I have a hard time trusting men….Ive been divorced for over 10 years now and was involved with a highly toxic and avoidant man on and off for a long time…..these bad experiences have left me bitter, but also wondering “is this really it for me?” I definitely want to share my life with someone, but I’m not really sure I even know how to do that anymore. The last part of the video will help me reframe my thinking – I have nothing to lose because I am OK if it doesn’t work. Thank you for sending me the exact words I needed to hear today! Time to be brave and put myself back out there!
