## Resource

What doesn’t dating EVER lead you to love? To the relationship you’ve always wanted? Why does it always end at date 2 or 3… if that?! If you’re stuck in this cycle, where you keep meeting men who have potential. The first date goes well. The second date feels even better. You get kinda excited! 🥳 And then… He pulls away. Says he isn’t looking for anything serious. Ghosts you. Or things simply fizzle out before they ever become a real relationship 💔 🎧 Hit play on this episode now! Because inside, I’ll let you in on how to break what one of the women inside AYM calls the “ 3 rd Date Curse ”. That frustrating pattern where dating goes well… until it doesn’t. You’ll see why this pattern keeps repeating no matter what you do or how hard you try. And how it has NOTHING to do with a lack of decent, available men who want love or you being someone that the men you want, just don’t “choose”. I also share a story you’ll love from one of the women inside Attract Your man who couldn’t get past a 3 rd date for years. …until one simple question I asked her changed everything. Seriously. She’s now getting married to the man she once believed she’d never meet (and on their son’s first birthday too!). In this episode you'll learn: Why it’s so hard to get past a 2 nd or 3 rd date The hidden belief that means dating never leads to an actual relationship Why this has nothing to do with men How your expectations shape your dating experiences Why trying harder, texting differently or playing hard to get won't fix the problem How to stop expecting relationships to fall apart before they've even begun The real reason some women naturally move from dating into committed relationships. If you're exhausted by getting excited about someone only to find yourself back at square one a few weeks late…
