Listen Later

Dating today isn’t always smooth sailing. There’s ghosting, bad first dates, texting traps... and if you’re feeling stuck in the same old dating loops, you’re not alone.

In this Dates & Mates Master Class, Damona Hoffman breaks down the eight most common dating mistakes she sees after 15+ years of coaching singles, and shares actionable fixes to help you date smarter, not harder.

Whether you’re tired of swiping, struggling to make real connections, or caught in negative self-talk, this episode gives you the clarity and tools to reset your dating approach.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to stop ghosting, and stop getting ghosted

  • The danger of “obliga-swiping” and how to date with intention

  • Why texting too much before a date kills chemistry

  • The power of refreshing your dating profile regularly

  • How to overcome negative self-talk and fear of starting over

  • Why having a dating plan beats waiting for a fairy tale

    If you have questions about your love life, Damona wants to hear from you. DM her on Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook @damonahoffman or leave a voicemail at 424-246-6255 for a chance to have your question answered in an upcoming Dear Damona segment.
