I see this all the time. You’re lying awake at 2 AM, replaying every moment, wondering: “Was it all fake?” “Did he ever really care?” “How can he just move on while I’m still crying myself to sleep?”

You’ve got two questions burning in your mind: “What’s really going on with him?” and either “How do I get him back?” or “How do I finally move past this pain?”

I’ve seen it a thousand times.

That moment right after a breakup when your heart feels like it’s being ripped from your chest. Your mind races with memories. And every cell in your body is screaming at you to call him, text him, do something to stop this pain.

I get it. That urge to reach out feels overwhelming. You just want to get your ex back so things can go back to the way they were.

15 Major Mistakes Women Make that Push Men Away post image

You’re trying everything to make your relationship work. You text him good morning, you’re always available when he calls, you cook his favorite meals. But something’s off. He’s growing distant, and you can’t figure out why.

I’ve watched this scenario unfold countless times. Women come to me confused and hurt, showing me their text conversations and telling me about all the thoughtful things they’ve done. They’re genuinely baffled when their best efforts seem to push their man further away.

Here’s what most women don’t realize: many of the behaviors you think will bring a man closer often do exactly the opposite. It’s not your fault – nobody sits you down and teaches you how men actually think and respond in relationships.

This isn’t about making excuses for men or criticizing women. It’s about showing you what actually works so you can have the relationship you really want.

You’ve probably been asking yourself this question for weeks.

The No Contact rule isn’t just some random advice I made up. I’ve seen it work countless times over my 23 years of helping women through breakups. And there are real, practical reasons why it works so well.

5 Signs He’s Not That Into You post image

You send a text and stare at your phone for hours, wondering why he hasn’t replied…

Sound familiar?

Or he disappears for days at a time, then comes back with a message that just melts you, making you think you were crazy to doubt things…

Until he disappears again.

It’s exhausting, isn’t it?

That constant state of wondering where you stand with a guy.

Analyzing every word, every delayed response, trying to figure out if he’s interested or just stringing you along.

I’ve seen it countless times over my many years of writing about relationships – that cycle of analyzing texts, calls, and interactions, looking for hidden meaning behind every word and action.

The Number One Reason Men Suddenly Lose Interest post image

Have you ever experienced this?

Things were going great with a guy. He was attentive, affectionate, and seemed genuinely interested in you. The chemistry was undeniable.

Then suddenly, almost out of nowhere, something changed. His texts became less frequent. He started taking longer to respond.

The passion and enthusiasm he once showed just… vanished.

How To Get Out Of The Friend Zone With A Guy (And Have Him Chasing You) post image

So you’ve got a guy you’re friends with and somewhere along the line you develop feelings for him. Unfortunately, he only sees you as a friend.

Tough situation. It happens to guys and it happens to girls and oftentimes, it can cause more heartbreak than an actual breakup.

Why?

Well maybe one (or all) of these scenarios apply to your situation. You get along better with him than anyone else. You “get” each other. He’s the only guy that you’ve ever felt truly understands you and with whom you can truly be yourself. He’s cute, he’s funny, and when he’s around you, he completely lets his guard down.  You get to see him as the man he truly is – an unguarded version of himself that he hides from the world and only seems to let you see.

You trust each other.  You might even say that you love each other. And you love every little thing about him… you can talk for hours or even just be with each other in silence… and you know exactly what the other person is thinking.

So why, in the midst of this seemingly perfect situation, aren’t you any more than friends?  Or worse, why (when you told him how you felt about him) does he say, “I really love you. You’re the most important girl in the world to me and I’ll always be there for you but I can’t be in a relationship with you – we need to just be friends.”

Well, I’ll give you a few reasons and I’ll also give you the ultimate pull-no-punches guide to getting out of the friend zone.

I’ve been getting mixed signals from a guy I work with.  He’s funny and nice to me… but he’s an easy guy to like.  He flirts with me, but I can’t tell if he’s just charming in general or if it’s because he’s attracted to me and interested…

Why Men Pull Away: Top 3 Reasons post image

Maybe this sounds familiar…

Things start off amazing with this guy. The chemistry is electric.

He’s texting you all the time, making plans, showing up consistently.

You feel that spark of connection that makes you think, “This could really be something special.”

Then suddenly… something changes.

His texts become less frequent. He cancels plans or is vague about making new ones.

That eagerness you felt from him? It’s fading.

And now you’re left wondering what happened and what you might have done wrong.

I’ve spent the last 22 years helping women navigate this exact situation, and I can tell you that when a man pulls away, it’s happening for one of three specific reasons.

Ask a Guy: Does He Like Me? post image

Ask a Guy: Does He Like Me?


There is this guy who I see often but have never actually spoken to. The only contact has really been him indirectly talking to me. One time he told someone that I was a “good kid”, when I was standing right next to him.

He also stares at me sometimes and then doesn’t look away when I catch his glace. There are other things along those lines as well.

Does he like me or am I overreacting?

Why Men Fall in Love: The Real Reasons post image

Have you ever wondered why the guy you’re with acts like he loves you one day, but the next day you’re not so sure?

Maybe you’re frustrated because no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to figure out what’s really going on inside his head.

It feels confusing and exhausting—like you’re always guessing, always wondering what he’s actually feeling.

If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

Most love advice articles out there talk about attraction mainly in terms of biology—things like physical features, pheromones or basic instincts.

But what they’re not telling you is what happens psychologically that makes a man genuinely fall in love and choose a woman for a committed relationship.

It’s not just about attraction or chemistry; it’s about certain qualities and behaviors in you that signal to him, deep down, you’d be good for him in the long run.

These are the signals that speak directly to his emotional wiring, making him feel like you’re the woman who brings out his absolute best.

Essentially, he’s subconsciously scanning for these signals to be there and when they are, love happens.

In this article, I’m going to show you exactly why men fall in love, explained in a way that’ll finally make sense.

You’ll see clearly why he does what he does, why he acts the way he acts and most importantly, you’ll understand how to become the woman who naturally brings out his deepest feelings. [continue reading…]

How to Get Your Ex Back in 5 Steps Guaranteed (With Testimonials) post image

Believe it or not, getting your ex-boyfriend back isn’t that hard.

In fact, getting an ex to come back can actually be really easy with a couple tricks.

If you’re fresh off a breakup this might sound impossible, but it’s true.

I’ve seen it happen thousands of times – a woman follows these specific steps and her ex comes crawling back, sometimes literally begging to get back together.

It happens so predictably that I’m always amazed more women don’t know about this.

The tricky part isn’t getting him back – it’s keeping him once he’s back.

Most women who get back with their ex-boyfriends end up losing him again. I’ve seen this pattern play out over and over.

They’re thrilled when he comes back, but within a few months (sometimes even weeks), they’re dealing with another painful breakup.

Why does this happen?

Because the same problems that destroyed the relationship before are still there. Nothing’s changed.

If you want to get him back and keep him, you need a proven plan that works. And more than that, you need to know the mistakes you must avoid if you want him back.

This is why I’m not just going to show you how to get your ex back – I’m going to show you exactly how to get him back in a way that leads to a stronger, healthier relationship than you had before.

In this article, I’m going to give you a complete 5 step plan that covers everything.

Let’s get into the plan now. [continue reading…]

Why He Stopped Chasing You


You’ve noticed it—the texts that once flooded your phone, the excitement in his eyes when he saw you, the spark you felt whenever you were together… It all feels different now. You’re wondering why he stopped chasing you and the uncertainty is driving you crazy.

But before panic sets in, there’s something important you need to know: the end of the chase doesn’t always mean the end of interest. In fact, the shift you’re feeling might actually be a sign of deeper connection, a natural progression into something more real and authentic.

Of course, sometimes the change means trouble—so how do you tell the difference?

That’s exactly what we’re going to talk about here. I’m going to show you exactly why he stopped chasing, what’s really happening in his mind and what you can do right now to regain control of the relationship’s direction. [continue reading…]

5 Things Every Girl Needs to Know About Men post image

Every day, I hear from women who are frustrated with their love lives. They’re smart, successful, and have so much to offer – yet they struggle to understand the men they’re with.

Why won’t he commit? Why does he need so much space? What’s really going on in his head?

I’ve been a relationship coach for over 2 decades, and I’ve heard these questions countless times.

When I first started coaching, I was surprised by how much women misunderstood about men’s emotional experiences. It wasn’t that women weren’t trying. They just didn’t have the right roadmap.

That’s why I’m writing this article. Most relationship advice is so focused on solving an immediate problem that there isn’t much great content about how to understand men.

The thing is, when you understand men better, you avoid having almost all relationship problems in the first place.

Trust me, once you see these patterns, you’ll never look at your relationships the same way again.

Ask a Guy: How Can I Get My Ex Boyfriend Back? post image

My ex broke up with me last month after being together for over a year. The last few months were rough because his grandmother passed away after being in the hospital for a few months. I tried to be there for him but he totally withdrew and would reject my advances and we started fighting a lot because of it.

He told me he loves me, but felt like I was smothering him and he needed to find himself. I told him I would give him space while he figured things out but he said he couldn’t ask me to do that. I asked if there was a chance for us once he got things sorted and he said he isn’t sure if he sees a future. He said he worships the ground I walk on and should never change because I was perfect in the relationship and will go far in life whereas he feels like he has nothing to offer since he is grieving and stuck in a job he doesn’t like.

He suggested we stay friends but I told him that would be too hard on me and he said I can contact him anytime. I know I came across needy over the last couple of months and am wondering if there’s anything I can do to get him back. Should I text him? Try to stay friends? Is there any hope of getting him back?

Ask a Guy: I Want My Ex Back post image

My ex and I had a perfect nine months: no fights, some arguments of course, but everything was great.

I was always worried a little about this ex girlfriend. She left him for another guy and he never got over it… or over her I guess.

When she became available again, he left me for her!  I don’t understand what happened … I just know I want him back.  What should I do?

12 Guaranteed Signs You Can Get Your Ex Back post image

The first question most women ask after a breakup is: can I get my ex back? It can be hard to think of anything else when your emotions are running high and you feel like you’re still in love. But the first question you should really be asking yourself is: do I want to?

The answer to the first question is maybe. There is always a chance, but missing him isn’t enough. You can’t get back together without doing any inner work and expect things to be different. Nothing has changed on the inside, so nothing has changed on the outside, either. If you get back together just because you miss him, you’re in serious danger of getting into an endless on/off cycle, driven entirely on emotions, and you could waste years of your life.

Assuming it is a good idea to try to get him back, is it even possible? It is, and here are 12 good signs you have a shot.
