When Karen, a 38-year-old divorced mother of three, came back from her singles' vacation, she was excited about a widower, a divorced man with three kids, and a handsome, never-married man who lived locally. But who should she choose? The divorced man wouldn't be easy to date due to his crazy ex and living a few states away; however, their connection was too intense to resist! The widow seemed great, but how would she live up to the memory of a deceased wife? And would a man with commitment issues and no children understand hers? Her prospects seemed both appealing and doomed to failure!

This is Alisa Goodwin Snell with the Lasting Love Podcast, a service of the LastingLoveAcademy.com. You won't want to miss the experiences of Karen and the advice I provided. These situations are common. With the right perspective and techniques, you can navigate these issues with ease.

"I don't know if I'm feeling it. I'm not sure if I'm attracted. I still notice attractive people. I worry that we're not having enough fun. I've felt stronger feelings in the past. I don't know if this will go anywhere, and I don't want to waste his time or mine. Should I stay, or should I go?"

Such doubts were common for Jana. Theo was an attractive guy who treated her great, so is the solution to find someone else, or can she resolve her doubts and create lasting love?

Is it worth the time, inconvenience, and money to go to singles' cruises, vacations, or conferences when you rarely end up dating anyone you meet there? Also, what about your church, social events, and other hangout opportunities? Is it realistic to pursue dates at these activities?

This is Alisa Goodwin Snell with the LastingLoveAcademy.com. I have clients who go to events like these, and it's time that you benefit from the advice I give them so you can make the most of your social situations, too.

Singles frequently complain that dating apps don't work, there aren't attractive singles, all the good ones are married, and dating isn't fun. Additionally, they want to know what to do when someone wants to go Dutch. These were the questions and comments that Karen, a 38-year-old divorced mother of three, had when she came in for her session this week.

This is Alisa Goodwin Snell with the Lasting Love Podcast. I have nearly 30 years of experience as a Marriage and Family Therapist, author, public speaker, and dating coach; thus, there's little that singles will say that I haven't heard before, and  I have solutions for all of them.

So you'll want to listen to the end because this podcast is full of the essential techniques that will make the difference between you being that person who goes on two and three dates a week or someone who despairs and quits.

I look forward to helping you, too. Join me at LastingLoveAcademy.com to learn more.

We've all had painful experiences that feed our fears or make us doubt ourselves and our future. We fear that we'll fail, we can't have what others have, and we'll experience the same problems over and over again. We're scared of abuse, loss, abandonment, rejection, and betrayal. These anxieties keep us from being courageous, prevent us from putting ourselves out there, and affect our ability to confidently and securely respond to conflict. 

As a single mom with a 10-month-old who struggled to provide for their needs while also recovering from a toxic short-term marriage, Alisa Goodwin Snell needed a solution to the painful thoughts and doubts that plagued her.
