  • No Weak Knees! (Why you should stay away from some people) - Suzie The Dating Diva Sept 14 2021

    Suzie is online @ www.SingleDatingDiva.com

    § Do they make you melt like butter on a hot day? Or maybe give you sunstroke? Either way, you are giving away your power and control if they make you weak in the knees.

    § I get it, the chemistry is unbelievable. The energy is electric. Butterflies in your stomach are out of control. You are feeling a little hot, perhaps even a little faint. You think, "this THIS is what I've been waiting for all my life!" This MUST be my soul mate! Nope.

    § The rush is fantastic, do not get me wrong, the fireworks are great BUT a fire that burns hot and fast usually fizzles out just as fast and sometimes releases toxic chemicals in the air making you sick.

    § It may feel like love but it is not. It is infatuation and infatuation is dangerous because it blinds you and causes you to act like someone you are not. They also can take advantage of your blind “love”.

    § Listen, I have been there and it feels ohhhh so amazing but you are left feeling gross after. Kind of like when you indulge in eating something you know will make you sick.

    § You need to evaluate where you are at with someone in order to truly know if you are in a healthy relationship or not. Remember, love includes respect, trust, honor and sharing your life in a meaningful normal way with someone. Passion is great but is not sustainable.

    § If you find yourself falling for the ones who make you weak in the knees, you should do some internal work to figure out why you are falling for unhealthy attachments. A fun fling here and there that you are fully aware of it not going anywhere does not count. I am talking about when you are consumed by another person that you cannot find real love because you are obsessed.

    § Once you learn and believe your worth, you will not accept anything less than you deserve. Remember that.

    POST IT NOTE / MANTRA: I am worthy of a healthy relationship

  • Awkward Text From Just A Friend - Matthew Stapley Sept 10 2021

    Dear  Matthew.  

    I have a friend who I've known since high school.   We've always been  just friends.  A few days ago she sent me a nude photo of herself.   Moments later she  texted me to say that she meant to send it to someone else.  Like I said, we're just friends.    We've always been just friends.  But  now I'm really uncomfortable even messaging her and can't imagine even  seeing her face to face.   This is so awkward.   

    How do I get past this?

  • What should my digital dating boundaries be? Suzie The Dating Diva Sept 9, 2021

    Connect with Suzie at www.SingleDatingDiva.com

    •When you are dating digitally, online dating, you should always remember the “stranger danger” rule … essentially, everyone you meet online is a stranger that you know nothing about other than what they tell you, which could be a lie. So safety first!

    •That being said, you do need to have fun with it and put your best self out there in order to date competitively.

    •In your dating profile, for instance, it is good to talk about what makes you stand out from the crowd, but keep it simple and leave something to the imagination.

    •Sometimes you are chatting and it is going great, you have not met in person but the virtual chemistry is there, full speed ahead! Then they ask you for more pictures, naughty or not, what do you do? You say no! Because it is not as harmless as you think. Any time you hit “send” you have zero control over what happens with those pictures.

    •You need to also meet in person as soon as possible, if things linger virtually more that a couple of weeks then it is too long. When someone truly want to meet you, THEY WILL NOT WASTE TIME!

    •Having digital dating boundaries will also add mystery and eagerness to the liaison meaning you will want to see each other and get to know each other more IN PERSON. Do not give away too much before this happens.

  • Switching Gears (Changing your dating narrative) - Suzie The Dating Diva Sept 7, 2021

    Up YOUR dating game!   Suzie is online at www.SingleDatingDiva.com

    TODAY:

    •If you are unhappy where you are at, then you need to switch your gears and shift your perspective. You need to change your narrative.

    •We’ve heard before: change your story, change your life

    •First, you need to let go of past hurts, hang-ups and attachments. Release your baggage because it is holding you down. This will allow you to more easily let go of any negative self talk that limits you (I’m unattractive, I’m too old, I’m unlovable, I’m not interesting enough, I’m too fat/skinny/short/tall).

    •Next, take stock of your dating habits. Do you gravitate towards the same types repeatedly? Do you like the excitement a whirlwind romance gives you? Learn from this and do better.

    •Then, live a solutions based life where every challenge or bad experience is a learning opportunity that elevates you higher. Instead of being a victim be powerful, use it as leverage. Do not allow other people define you.

    •Your dating destiny is in your hands and it all begins with your dating narrative. What you truly believe will happen; you will attract what you put out there. 

    •Being purposeful and positive in your life, including your dating life, will help you achieve your desired goals. One-step at a time.

    •POST IT NOTE / MANTRA: I am powerful, grateful and positive

  • Time To Exit From My Ex? Matthew Stapley Sept 3, 2021
    Your questions to [email protected]

    Greetings Matthew,  I was with a partner for over 3 years and we recently broke up a few months ago. I was ok with it for the longest time as they didn’t want anymore relationships.  We still live in the same house, but each have our own rooms. They still own the house. I have 3 spaces to be able to do as I please in accept have guests for sexytime.  In the last few weeks, they have met a “Friend” and said it would be nothing but friends. They are spending more and more time together. A trip I was going to take almost got cancelled and my “roommate’s” concern was that the friend had been invited while I was to be gone. I went on the trip and upon my return I have realized I can’t deal with the living arrangement any longer and is causing me much anxiety. I heard their phone go off and saw a text from the friend “Have a great day sexy”.  What do I do? Do you think there is more to this? There is beer in the fridge and a coffee maker I haven’t used in months was cleaned when I came home this past weekend

  • I Found Papa's Porn - Now What? The Tough Stuff With Matthew Stapley Sept 2, 2021
    Your questions for Matthew to [email protected]

    Dear  Matthew,  My mother passed away a while back and now we are helping my dad  downsize and move into an apartment.  While I was in his basement last weekend I found several large boxes  filled with pornographic magazines.  I had no idea about this side of my father and am wondering if I should  talk to him about it or leave it be.   Do we move these boxes or no?
