At one time, in our culture, “going steady” was the term for a commitment to an exclusive relationship without the finality of a marriage contract.  Whether you “wore his pin” or “gave her your ring” – usually high school – going steady was a statement.  We may not call it that any more, but deciding   [read more]

Live together or Marry? 21st Century Options

A mere 50 years ago (which isn’t that long, really) everything was very different.  There was still a huge stigma on couples who chose to live together “out of wedlock” as it was called, and parents whose children did so white-knuckled the social embarrassment until they could finally send out those wedding announcements.  Aside from   [read more]

Five Steps to Destroy Dating Fear

Fear is a terrible enemy.  Fear preys on your mind like a prayer in reverse – the more you dwell on it, the more you create a negative reality. People react to fear by being fearful, and fearful people miss out on… a lot.  If your fears – of putting yourself out there, of being   [read more]

Forgiveness—Divine Release

“To err is human; to forgive, divine.” A quotation probably more famous than the man who first said it, English poet Alexander Pope. You may well have not heard of him, but you have probably heard his words. Screwing up (to err, in other words) is human indeed. We are all flawed human beings. In   [read more]

Honestly? Telling Lies Hurts (Everybody)

People lie constantly.  Especially if you include in your tally the most common lie of all:  “I’m fine.”  As much of a social lubricant as this lie is, it represents an essential fact.  People don’t want to reveal… too much. We learn to lie in childhood.  Saying “sorry” when we are not, saying what others   [read more]

Are You Dating a Selfish Person?

Feeling a little invisible in your relationship?  Wondering why your date’s version of give and take has a lot more take than give (which leaves you making up the difference)?  Maybe you need to assess how you show up in your relationship, and whether you are looking out for yourself enough.  On the other hand,   [read more]

Lovers to Friends? Should You Stay Friends after a Break-up?

“Let’s just be friends.”  Four words dreaded by anyone who’s been in a fading or unequal relationship with what turns out to be a short shelf life. The comedic English singing duo, Rocky and Balls, sing about it quite hilariously in this video:   Though the whole topic is superb fodder for a strange variety   [read more]

What Clients Are Saying

I feel stronger and more confident than I did before.

Before I met Betty, I was lost. I was giving up on love and I have tried everything else but a Dating Coach. What have I got to lose? She is a lovely, down to earth person who wishes me the best always. I have learned a lot from her and I am still learning. She made me feel better about myself even though I am not at my best right now. I feel stronger and more confident than I did before. She is my safety net and I know she will help me through this long road I have ahead of me. She has taught me to understand what a relationship is and what it could be. – Karen M.

Betty Had Me Dating Within 2 Weeks

As a 59 year old nurse I spend my days caring for others. Then one day it hit me that I need to take care of myself and figure out how to get the relationship I hoped for. A friend referred me to Betty. I signed up right away and she had me dating within 2 weeks. It was the best investment in myself that I ever made. – Lori D., Canada
