It's all about confidence in dating. It's easy to second guess yourself. Ask your friends what you should text him. Survey the crowd to find out what you should do next.

This week, we're gaining our power and confidence back.

This week's guest is Candice Jalili. She is the Senior Dating Writer at Elite Daily and has written over 3,000 articles in the relationship space. Outside of Elite Daily, Candice also write for Cosmopolitan, Tinder Swipe Life, and more.

Her book, Just Send the Text, a guide to letting go of your dating anxiety, will be out with Tiller Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, on February 2nd.

This week, we talk about:

- Why you should just send the text you're thinking. Be confident. Take back your power. - The most important texts and emails Maria and Candice have ever sent in their dating lives. - How to handle rejection when you're dating. - Why it's okay to take a break from online dating. - What to do if you meet someone that might be moving away soon. - A discussion on whether it's a good idea to try a long distance relationship.
