Online dating. So much potential. So much danger. In order to make sure you're not matching with people who are wildly inappropriate for you (hold onto your butts here, I'm about to blow your mind) you have to actually be honest about what you want and who you are.

Ugh, vulnerability. Why is vulnerability always the answer? Sorry kid, but in order to find "the one" you're going to have to try and be honest instead of the "cool girl" — not that you're not cool, but when you try to force it the authenticity just isn't there. We're humans, not male-authored characters in a fantasy series.

In this episode we'll take a closer look at:

• Why honesty is the necessity in your dating profile
• Why mental games serve no one in a relationship

You're gonna get there, friend, but in order to do so you have to stop standing in your own way. Whether that's catering your personality to be palatable for men, or playing games to hold the upper hand, you've got to stop (Do you want to be a girlfriend or a Bond villain?). And learn to embrace and proudly present the truest, most authentic version of you from the very beginning of your entrance into the dating scene.
