From chasing chemistry over compatibility to projecting fantasies onto women, I break down the behaviors that sabotage love before it even begins—and how to shift into healthier, more empowered dating.

In this week's mini-episode, I explore one of the most common patterns I see in the men I coach—pulling away when things start to get serious. Whether it's overanalyzing your partner's quirks, suddenly getting "too busy," or avoiding emotional conversations, these subtle habits are signs of a deeper fear of intimacy. I break down why this happens, how it's rooted in our nervous system responses, and most importantly, how you can begin to recognize and shift these behaviors so they don't sabotage love before it really begins.
