A dating funnel might not sound romantic, but it's one of the smartest ways to date in today's world. Instead of dating one person at a time and hoping they're “it,” a dating funnel allows you to meet, talk to, and go out with a few people at once—so you can discover who's truly right for you without investing time, energy, and emotions too quickly. Think of it like a sales funnel, but instead of closing a deal, you're opening your heart to the right person. Here's how to do it—step by step.►Please subscribe/rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts http://bit.ly/lastfirstdateradio ►If you're feeling stuck in dating and relationships and would like to find your last first date, sign up for a complimentary 45-minute breakthrough session with Sandy https://lastfirstdate.com/application ►Join Your Last First Date on Facebook https://facebook.com/groups/yourlastfirstdate ►Get Sandy's books, Becoming a Woman of Value; How to Thrive in Life and Love https://bit.ly/womanofvaluebook , Choice Points in Dating https://amzn.to/3jTFQe9 and Love at Last https://amzn.to/4erpj7C ►Get FREE coaching on the podcast! https://bit.ly/LFDradiocoaching ►FREE download: “Top 10 Reasons Why Men Suddenly Pull Away” http://bit.ly/whymendisappear ►Group Coaching: https://lastfirstdate.com/the-woman-of-value-club/ ►Website → https://lastfirstdate.com/ ► Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/lastfirstdate1/ ►Get Amazon Music Unlimited FREE for 30 days at https://getamazonmusic.com/lastfirstdate

Why should you detach from the outcome in dating? It's not about keeping the person you're dating at arm's length. The reasons for detaching from the outcome are all about not losing yourself or jumping ahead into a future that doesn't exist yet.Otherwise, dating can feel like a rollercoaster — one minute you're excited, the next you're spiraling into "what does this mean?" territory after a text or a look or an unanswered message. You want things to work out. But when you grip too tightly to a specific outcome — whether it's a second date or a fantasy future — you lose your ability to stay present. You stop listening, observing, and enjoying the moment. And you start performing, pleasing, or projecting.What does it look like to detach from the outcome in dating — not because you don't care, but because you want to stay level-headed? Here are five ways to start.►Please subscribe/rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts http://bit.ly/lastfirstdateradio ►If you're feeling stuck in dating and relationships and would like to find your last first date, sign up for a complimentary 45-minute breakthrough session with Sandy https://lastfirstdate.com/application ►Join Your Last First Date on Facebook https://facebook.com/groups/yourlastfirstdate ►Get Sandy's books, Becoming a Woman of Value; How to Thrive in Life and Love https://bit.ly/womanofvaluebook , Choice Points in Dating https://amzn.to/3jTFQe9 and Love at Last https://amzn.to/4erpj7C ►Get FREE coaching on the podcast! https://bit.ly/LFDradiocoaching ►FREE download: “Top 10 Reasons Why Men Suddenly Pull Away” http://bit.ly/whymendisappear ►Group Coaching: https://lastfirstdate.com/the-woman-of-value-club/ ►Website → https://lastfirstdate.com/ ► Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/lastfirstdate1/ ►Get Amazon Music Unlimited FREE for 30 days at https://getamazonmusic.com/lastfirstdate

Let's talk about that part of online dating no one trains us for: the texting. You match, you smile, maybe you even do a little happy dance… and then the real question hits: What do I say now?You want to be charming, confident, interested—but not desperate. You want to move things forward—but not force anything.

Dating after 50 can feel like a whole new world—and not always in the best way. You may have heard (or thought), “All the good ones are taken,” or “Men my age just want younger women.” But here's the truth: emotionally available, mature men do exist.

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.  In our response lies our growth and our freedom” – Viktor FranklThis is one of my favorite quotes, because it describes the importance of pausing when something triggers us. We don't react – we respond. In our Western hustle culture, pausing is not encouraged, but it's one of the most important things we can do to help us have better lives. How can we practice the power of the pause in dating and relationships?►Please subscribe/rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts http://bit.ly/lastfirstdateradio ►If you're feeling stuck in dating and relationships and would like to find your last first date, sign up for a complimentary 45-minute breakthrough session with Sandy https://lastfirstdate.com/application ►Join Your Last First Date on Facebook https://facebook.com/groups/yourlastfirstdate ►Get Sandy's books, Becoming a Woman of Value; How to Thrive in Life and Love https://bit.ly/womanofvaluebook , Choice Points in Dating https://amzn.to/3jTFQe9 and Love at Last https://amzn.to/4erpj7C ►Get FREE coaching on the podcast! https://bit.ly/LFDradiocoaching ►FREE download: “Top 10 Reasons Why Men Suddenly Pull Away” http://bit.ly/whymendisappear ►Group Coaching: https://lastfirstdate.com/the-woman-of-value-club/ ►Website → https://lastfirstdate.com/ ► Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/lastfirstdate1/ ►Get Amazon Music Unlimited FREE for 30 days at https://getamazonmusic.com/lastfirstdate
