The Book of Love

Welcome to another episode of the Book of Love Podcast! In this episode, we're tackling three unique dating questions from our listeners. Jean-eva is here to offer insights and advice to help you navigate the complex world of relationships.

In our first question, a listener is dating a great guy who is kind and considerate but lacks the chemistry she's seeking. Her ex, who was hot and cold during their relationship, recently reached out, sparking old feelings. How should she decide between the stable guy and the ex with undeniable chemistry?

Jean-eva discusses:

• The importance of chemistry in a relationship and whether it's enough to sustain a healthy partnership.
• The value of stability, kindness, and consistency in a long-term relationship.
• How to assess whether the pull toward an ex is due to nostalgia or genuine compatibility.
• Strategies to help make an informed decision that prioritizes emotional well-being.

Our second question comes from a listener who admits to feeling jealous when her boyfriend talks to other women, despite his openness and transparency. She acknowledges her jealousy stems from past experiences of infidelity. How can she overcome these feelings and maintain a healthy relationship with her boyfriend?

Jean-eva explores:

• The root causes of jealousy and how past experiences can influence current relationships.
• The importance of open communication with a partner to discuss feelings of insecurity.
• Techniques to build self-confidence and trust within a relationship.
• The significance of recognizing a supportive partner and how to focus on the positive aspects of the relationship.

The third question comes from a listener who feels her affectionate nature might be scaring off potential partners. After hitting it off with a guy, she noticed a shift in his attitude after they slept together on their fourth date. She wonders if her culture's emphasis on affection might be affecting her dating experiences with Canadian men.

Jean-eva discusses:

• How affection is actually a benefit when dating
• How sleeping with someone on any date wouldn't matter with the right person.
• Advice for pacing relationships and setting personal boundaries to avoid confusion.
• Understanding that each person's journey to find the right relationship is unique and requires patience and self-acceptance.

Q #1: Hello Jean-eva, I need help, my last partner of seven years was a narcissist. It has been three years since that relationship and I started dating six months ago. I met somebody really great but I think it may be too good to be true. I’m not seeing any signs of him being a narcissist but it is going so well. I have this overwhelming feeling to end it. Am I being crazy?

Q #2: I went on the best first date last week, he’s so handsome, I was so attracted to him. I felt instant chemistry and we agreed on almost everything we discussed. He walked me to my car and gave me a hug. I said I had a great time and we should do it again and he said me too, let’s do it again! and then we went our separate ways. When I got home I texted him and said I had a great time, thank you so much for dinner, and I haven’t heard from him since. Did I mess it up by sending that text? Did I seem too eager? Also, why would you say let’s do it again and then not reach out and plan something, it’s so rude. I don’t understand, we had so much chemistry 

Q #3: I’m an autistic adult and I have a really hard time online dating, I find first dates hard because conversations with me are different from conversations with a neurotypical person and I can never get on a second date. So I added the fact that I’m autistic to my online dating profile, but my matches went down to almost nonexistent. It was the Hinge prompt that said “something you should know about me” and I said “I’m autistic” almost zero matches then I took it off my profile but would tell someone after a few texts and then they would disappear, what should I do? I’m almost about to give up.

What do you think of this advice? Do you agree? Do you disagree? Feel free to share, I would love to hear your thoughts.
