People who put on rose-covered glasses to not be single and how that can hurt you.

So you're making all these exceptions for the guy you're dating because you're afraid to be single.

So it's funny when I told people I was writing a book called How to be Single and Happy,

they told me that I should write a follow-up called How to be Married and Happy.

Who we pick to partner with is such a big decision.

It matters more than so many other decisions that we make in our lives.

This is the person that you might spend the rest of your life with.

This is the person you might raise a family with.

This is a really big deal.

And so we don't want to go into looking for love with such anxiety that we're just willing to take whatever we can and fill in like, you know, concerns with positive assumptions.

We want to make sure that the person that we're with makes us feel good

has similar values as a decent human being

because life is hard enough without having someone by your side that makes it happen.

We're your besties in your ear.
