Women Should Make the First Move in Dating
[NEW VIDEO] Ladies, do you make the first move in dating? You take charge in the rest of your life, so why not here?
—
Do you make the first move in dating, or are you still dating like it’s 1984? Many of us have been taught to always let men pursue us and never make the first move or it will turn a man off. Men hunt, women gather. If women have become so much more powerful at work the past few decades, isn’t it time for dating to evolve, too?
As women, we are more than capable of seeking out what—and who—we want. If we’re strong and successful in life, why aren’t we encouraged to be bold when it comes to finding love? Why should we have to sit back and passively wait for the men we like to choose us?

5 Signs You’re in a Codependent Relationship
How do you know if you’re in a codependent relationship? Here are 5 warning signs you might be in one and what to do if you are.
What’s a codependent relationship, and how do you know if you’re in one? It is a toxic relationship pattern where the codependent partner has an unhealthy need to be needed, and the other partner, or the enabler, exploits this need by relying on their partner too much. This dysfunctional relationship pattern is common not just in romantic partnerships, but also between parents and children, other family members, coworkers, and friends.
We often unconsciously continue these codependent behaviors until we seek the right kind of support to create healthier relationships where both partners respect and honor each other’s needs.
