Because let’s be real… if he liked you, you’d know. And if you’re overthinking it, that probably tells you everything.</p><p><br></p><p>We get into the patterns that keep you stuck, why you keep wanting the ones who don’t want you back, and how dating apps have completely warped the way we connect. And also… the slightly uncomfortable truth that a lot of the time, we’re not actually dating for love — we’re dating for validation.</p><p><br></p><p>This is the kind of conversation you have with your friends after a glass (or three) of wine, where everything suddenly clicks and you’re like&nbsp;<em>“wait… why have I never thought about it like this?”</em></p><p><br></p><p>Because we’ve all had that situation where deep down we knew it wasn’t right… but stayed anyway. Overthinking every message, analysing every little bit of attention, and convincing ourselves it meant more than it actually did.</p><p><br></p><p>If you’ve ever found yourself chasing, confused, or asking your friends&nbsp;<em>“why do I keep doing this?”</em>&nbsp;when it comes to men…</p><p><br></p><p>this episode is for you.</p><p><br></p><p>And if you’re ready to actually break those patterns,&nbsp;<strong>Alice offers 1:1 mentoring sessions</strong>&nbsp;to help you avoid the wrong men and build secure, healthy relationships.</p>","author_name":"Yasmin Misner "}
