Take this for example: A woman I was chatting with recently shared how a simple discussion with her husband turned into a full-blown fiasco.

It started innocently enough—she called him at work to ask about hiring someone to clean their windows this month. No biggie, right?

He said, “Yes, let me look at the numbers, and I’ll confirm.”
So far, so good. She’s thinking, we’re on track here.

Then she asks, “Well, don’t we already know our numbers for the month? Can’t we just slip it into the budget?”
He replies, “I’m not sure; I’ll check in the next 30 minutes.”

Still smooth sailing.

Then she says, “Well, it has to get done.”

And that’s when the conversation took a detour into Anger-ville. He snapped, “Fine, I’ll just do it myself.”

Naturally, she wasn’t thrilled with that idea: “I don’t want you doing it—it’s dangerous!”

Cue the fireworks. The conversation went from zero to meltdown in no time.

She was left scratching her head, asking, “How does he get so angry so fast?!”

Now, here’s where it gets fun. Dr. Daniel Amen says: “Women’s brains are like a superhighway of connections, while men’s brains are more like a country road.”

Basically, we’re driving Ferraris, while they’re cruising on a scenic Sunday drive.

Let’s break it down with that in mind:

• Her world: She’s buzzing around, making dinner, texting her friends, and then—bam—she notices the windows look like they’ve been through a dust storm. Guests are coming over this weekend, so it’s officially urgent.
• His world: He’s at work, deep in the zone, laser-focused on his task.

She shoots him a quick call. To her, it’s just another stop on the highway. But to him, it’s like throwing a boulder onto that peaceful country road.

Did he really go from 0 to 100 in 60 seconds? Let’s look closer:

• 0: He starts off calm and collected: “Sure, I’ll check the budget.”
• 20: He asks for 30 minutes—translation: I can’t just drop everything right now, but give me a sec.
• 40: She’s pushing—“It needs to get done,” with that extra sprinkle of urgency.
• 60: He’s hit his frustration limit—“Fine, I’ll do it myself.”

Boom. Just like that, the peace of the countryside is disturbed.

The reality? She didn’t see what she did as a problem because—let’s be honest—she’s the queen of multitasking. We women are out here rocking the baby, stirring the soup, applying mascara, and still texting back our friends. He, on the other hand, needs to focus on one thing at a time. Like, one. Thing.

So, how do we keep the conversation on track?

1. Timing is Everything: Calling him mid-workday to ask about window cleaning? That’s a no-go. Pick a better time, like when he’s not knee-deep in a project.
2. Set the Stage: Start with, “Is now a good time to talk?” or “Can we chat later today?” That way, he’s ready for the conversation, instead of being ambushed by it.
3. Beware the Transitions: When he’s first switching gears—like just getting in the car or walking through the door after work—his brain is still adjusting. Give him a little time to get settled, and then dive into your conversation.

It Takes Two: The Tango of Understanding

Now, don’t get me wrong—this isn’t just about women making all the adjustments. This is a partnership, after all. Yes, we can be mindful of timing, but he can also learn to recognize when we’re juggling a million things at once and give us some grace.

It’s all about finding your rhythm. Relationships thrive when both people are in sync. When we understand each other’s speeds—whether it’s the fast-paced multitasking freeway or the more focused country road—things just run a whole lot smoother.

So, no, it’s not about one person constantly adjusting. It’s about both of you learning the dance—because when you’re both in step, even the trickiest conversations become a whole lot easier to navigate.

Recognizing these differences and adjusting the way you communicate can turn those explosive moments into smooth conversations. After all, when you’re both tuned in to each other, life’s a lot sweeter.

And hey, maybe next time, the windows will get cleaned without the fireworks.

That one side of the puzzle is assembled, while the other side stays untouched.

When we get into discussions about how to access our feminine energy, the emphasis often centers around learning to receive, appreciating beauty, and cultivating inner peace.

Undoubtedly, these qualities are important, but they do not encompass the entirety of the story.

It’s actually a major pet peeve of mine when I hear teachings that solely focus on the “sweet” side of femininity. This one-dimensional portrayal of women is precisely why so many reject and even fear embracing any of it. Images of Stepford’s wives and handmaids come to mind…  

If that resonates with you too, stick with me.

When we talk about qualities like receiving, appreciating beauty, and a sense of play and joy, it’s easy to draw parallels with the younger stages of being a woman.

When we’re kids, our worries are lighter (or at least they should be), and our focus on our perceived flaws are less pronounced. We naturally possess a sense of confidence and magic until it’s disturbed.

I view this stage as the Princess Era of femininity – a time when we embody innocence, grace, and untainted self-worth. For many of us, what we need to do is reclaim this stage.

However, that’s not on the agenda today – today we’re talking about the Queen Era.

If you’ve ever played chess, you know that the Queen is the ultimate boss lady of all the chess pieces. She is the most versatile and influential piece. She also has the ability to strike with sheer force when necessary.  To help you step into your own Queen Era, I want to spotlight 4 traits to focus on:

Intelligence, Intuition, Mystery, and Strength.

Intelligence:

However you divide up your roles, whether you’re a homemaker or CEO, it’s absolutely crucial to connect with your partner and approach life with intelligence and intention. Sharpening the saw is key.

Invest in learning about human dynamics, influence, communication, and negotiation. The skills will not only serve you, but also those you choose to align yourself with.

Oh, and let’s not forget how important it is to find a partner who matches your mental prowess. I’ve noticed many women who settle for partners who, honestly, don’t prioritize deep thinking (or thinking at all). That boyish charm and carefree spirit may seem fun in the beginning but a man who is an idiot will bring you serious stress and pain down the road.

And the flip side – if your partner doesn’t see you as someone who can bring vision and intelligence into your conversations, he might stick around, but seek advice and guidance from other people instead of turning to you.

Bottom line: Embrace intelligence. Develop wisdom and discernment. Kick the habits that keep you dumb.

Mystery:

Ah, mystery. It’s a concept that I believe women often overlook.

Mystery refers to something that is difficult to grasp or fully comprehend. When it comes to the dynamics between men and women, there will always be an element of mystery because we are fundamentally wired in different ways.

Yet, what I often notice is women unintentionally forfeit their mystique due to nerves. They talk and talk, and talk some more, feeling the need to be completely transparent or fearing they’ll burst if they don’t spill every single word. But here’s the truth:

Maintaining a sense of mystery requires an immense amount of confidence.

Let me share a little secret with you – ever heard the saying, “The one who speaks first in a sale loses”? Well, it’s kind of related to what I’m talking about here. I’ve witnessed women completely laying their cards on the table, revealing their every thought and emotion, all because of those pesky nerves. It’s time to cultivate a well of confidence and observe others.

Instead of rushing to fill every silence or divulge every detail, take a step back. Allow moments of intrigue and curiosity to brew. Get comfortable with the unknown.

Remember. The power lies not only in what you reveal but also in what you choose to withhold. Embrace your enigmatic side, and watch the magic unfold.

Intuition:

Intuition is undoubtedly one of the most incredible superpowers that women possess.  Like a Queen who intuitively recognizes who should be by her king’s side and within her family circle, our gut instincts guide us in powerful ways.

Time and time again, I’ve experienced this with my husband, where my intuition would signal that someone wanting to hang around him was bad news – and guess what? Time and time again, I’ve been proven right. Now, he actually checks in with me, asking, “What’s your feeling about so-and-so?” before engaging with them.

Now, let’s break it down for a moment. Intuition, by definition, is the ability to acquire knowledge without relying on conscious reasoning or needing a logical explanation.

It’s that deep inner knowing that guides us. But here’s the thing, my queens—we need to strengthen our intuition by creating moments of stillness, where we can actually hear its whispers. In a world that constantly bombards us with overstimulation and distractions, many women have lost touch with their intuition altogether.

And when I say “fine-tune,” I mean acquiring skills that sharpen our intuition.

Sometimes, we get a feeling about someone that we can’t quite put into words. It could be that we caught a fleeting micro-expression of contempt that we’ve learned to recognize through experience. Learning to read body language and micro-expressions can tremendously enhance our intuition’s development.

Other times it’s not the “hearing it” that’s the problem… it’s trusting. For every relationship I’ve had that wasn’t great, my intuition was screaming from the beginning, “Sarah, stay away”.

So, cultivate, listen, and learn how to express your intuition in a way that people actually trust and want to listen to you.

Strength:

Lately, I’ve been seeing femininity spaces reject strength.

Women at large saying they no longer want to be strong, independent women.

And I understand the sentiment behind it. It often stems from their experiences of having to shoulder the burdens when dealing with deadbeat dads or partners who shirk their responsibilities. In that context, I completely get it, but the issue here lies not in strength itself, but in the presence of abuse.

When we face trials, we develop perseverance and character. We transform into women of fortitude, embodying resilience in the face of adversity.

Now, should we choose to live in perpetual struggle? Absolutely not. Strength should lead us to gain enough wisdom, enabling us to break free from repeating certain mistakes. We should want to acquire the skill sets necessary to make those challenging situations less common in our lives.

However, real talk: Trouble will undoubtedly find its way into our lives because, well, that’s just how life works. In those moments, we want to be equipped with enough internal strength and character to navigate through the storm.

So, let’s reclaim the power of strength, reframing it as a force that empowers us and shields us from being taken advantage of. Strength brings confidence. It assures that whatever life throws your way, you can handle it with grace, tenacity, and unwavering inner strength.

A woman is not one-dimensional. She is multi-faceted and can provide so much beauty and value to the people around her. If you’ve been sold on the sugar but not the spice, know that both are important.

Remember, the Queen Era is not a replacement for the “princess” era; rather, it’s an expansion of it. It’s a time when we can merge our innate princess-like qualities with wisdom, strength, and purpose.

Think of it as your regal evolution that allows you to reign with grace and authority, and make empowered decisions that influence and leave a lasting impact.

… I’d probably be able to waltz on down to Christian Louboutin and pick myself up a brand new pair of “Kate’s”.  

And while I’m still waiting on those quarters, it brings up an interesting question:

Are women’s expectations TOO high when it comes to dating?

Well… it depends.

I believe many of life’s greatest lessons can be learned through studying sports (tell me you’re a retired professional dancer, without telling me you’re a retired professional dancer).

Last weekend my husband and I watched The Redeem Team on Netflix. If you haven’t seen it, it’s about the US men’s basketball team’s journey for Olympic Gold.

Now this team had the best of the best… basketball superstars!

In one scene, a player recounts a night that shifted his perspective…

The whole team had been out partying and hazily arrived back at their hotel in Vegas at 5 am. On the way back to their rooms, ready to tuck in for the night, they see Kobe Bryant (who hadn’t been partying) in his gym gear on his way to work out.

To be clear… this guy trained ALL day, and did this on his time off.

Over the next few days, some of the guys followed suit…

… some traded in their party hats and tequila shots for workout gear and the chance to train beside a legend.

… others decided 5 am wasn’t their scene, but 7 am they could commit to.

I want to point out something very important here:

Kobe didn’t ASK any of the players to train like he did. These standards were his OWN. The players just saw his results and were inspired to follow suit.

Rule #1: Don’t EXPECT something from a partner that you yourself are not willing to do.

>>> Do you want a guy who is fit? Great! Are you?

>>> Do you want a guy who has a noble and strong character? Well who wouldn’t right? Now are you developing those parts of yourself as well?

The key here is to ask yourself (and answer honestly):

Do your expectations of others match the standards you have set for yourself?

Now to be clear, you DON’T need to be the same as your partner (nobody wants their clone), but both people need to feel that they are getting a fair value in their partner.

For example: If you got to a coffee shop today, you can expect to pay anywhere between $3-6 for a cappuccino. Most likely, you’re okay with that. However, if you went in tomorrow morning and they raised the price to a whooping $25 – it would likely no longer feel like a fair trade right?

It’s *exactly* the same when it comes to dating and relationships.

You need to be clear on the value YOU are bringing into a relationship, and in most cases, you should offer something different then what your ideal partner is contributing.

You want to be the missing puzzle piece.

And ladies in my experience of coaching, I can tell you one of the BIGGEST things men are craving (the desperately missing puzzle piece), is to find a feminine woman. They are starving for that peace, beauty, and softness that only a woman can bring into their life.

Hear me: They simply cannot get it anywhere else.

So, circling back to our initial question: Are our expectations too high?

Let me leave you with one more sports story for the road. Michael Jordan was one of the greatest athletes of all team. He was also well-known for being incredibly demanding of his teammates. As you can imagine, many people had a problem with this.

However, the way he reasoned it out I find to be quite profound, he said:

“People would say I wasn’t really a nice guy, I may have even been a tyrant… but that’s you, because you never wanted anything. I wanted to win, but I wanted them to win and be a part of that as well. It is who I am, it’s how I played the game. That was my mentality. If you don’t want to play that way, don’t play that way.”

As you can imagine, this is NOT the life for everyone. However, whether or not you want this life, you can respect the fact that since he leads by example, he has the right to expect it from his teammates.

So, in the same way you may have expectations that are high, and people may call you arrogant, demanding or high maintenance.

The only questions you need to ask yourself are:

1. Are you living that way yourself?
2. If you want your partner to treat you special, in a “XY&Z way“, what are the thing’s that you are going to bring to enrich his life? To be that winning teammate.

… Is this thing on?

Ladies, I want you to write this one down because it’s important:”

“It’s not the bounce of your hair, your cup size, or your Jessica Rabbit “esque” energy that is going to attract the relationship you want.”

Will it warm your bed? Absolutely, but I’m guessing that’s not ALL your after.

We’ve been sold beauty filters and a conveyer belt of magic products, all guaranteeing they work as a siren call for men.

But you want to know the REAL secret…

… The one that can bring a man to his knees (I’m talking about proposals hunny!)

CONFIDENCE!

Yep, I see you… shaking your head over there.

Thinking to yourself, “Wow Sarah. Thank you SO much! I’ve never been let in on that golden nugget! My guy problems? Suddenly resolved!”

To that I say –

You may have heard it before, but did you understand?

There are 2 issues that come up whenever I talk to women about confidence –

1. They truly don’t believe this is the #1 “big deal” thing for men. They may say they do, but it only takes a few minutes before they’re back to fixating on cup size and shiny hair.

OR

2. They may actually believe it but they don’t know how to cultivate it.

So first, am I going to sit here and tell you attraction doesn’t matter?

Absolutely not! Attraction is vital in a relationship.

You want your man to want you (and when you look good, you feel good, and that’s a confidence builder to my friend!).

What I AM going to tell you is obsessing over how you look and how sexual you come off is only going to accomplish 1 major thing from men –

It is going to make them want to have sex with you.

Wham, bam, thank you, ma’am!

But I’m guessing you want more… not only a man who wants to bed you but someone who wants to love and cherish you too.

The real good stuff.

So what would happen if we actually believed men when they said confidence makes their hearts flutter…

… That it is the #1 thing that pulls them in, that makes them want to keep you warm, safe, and feeling like a queen …

… Well, I guess that would mean we’d have to trust men!

Dum da da dum

Trust! Make men not our adversaries, but someone we believe.

Hot dang! Nowadays, that type of chatter can get you canceled, but it doesn’t mean it’s any.less.true.

So, if you decided you were going to do that, you said –

“I ____ _____ solemnly swear to believe that men value confidence over all else”.

Then that takes us to the second question, how do you cultivate it?

I want you to cultivate confidence not just to attract a man, but to be the most vibrant, beautiful, unstoppable version of yourself you could be.

Let’s start with what you’re not going to do –

You will not fake it till you make it.

Simply because it doesn’t really work and you feel terrible while you’re doing it.

But you, you my dear, are going to instead prove a success record.

You are going to produce something multiple times until you have developed the confidence that you can do it.

A simple example: You get up and you make your bed. The next day you do it again. You make that bed for a month… and you’ve got yourself a success record!

You have demonstrated to yourself that you are a person who consistently makes their bed. You can rely on yourself to do that. You can have confidence in it, and not one person can take it away because you know it to be true.

Now that may sound like a silly example,

But what if you set a standard and you abided by it?

What if you set a goal? And you consistently did steps towards it?

What if you were a woman who made good on what she said?

Would that cultivate some confidence?

YES! YES! YES!

So to put a bow on this, let’s land here.

Do you want to know why self-confidence is so key for men?

When you have confidence, they can relax.

He gets to look at you and recognize that you don’t need rescuing.

Him having a place by your side is because you desire him to be there… and that my dear is incredibly sexy!

The night is almost over…

You’ve had a great conversation, physical chemistry is on point, and all signs point to a second date.

After an “accidental” leg brush and some flirty eye contact, the waiter comes to the table and puts down the cheque.

You both ignore it, not flinching but continuing on with your conversation.
A few minutes later he reappears with the machine.
Your date slow motion reaches for the bill but glances at you with questioning eyes.

What.do.you.do?

If you’ve been in the situation and found yourself conflicted, friend, you are not alone! This common modern-day dating conundrum happens on a weekly basis.

Leaving women with this question:

“By letting him pay… am I too much?”

So… we might as well address the elephant in the room.

By and large, if you have an honest, raw, lips-are-sealed conversation with most women they will say they want a guy to pick up the bill.

Why? Perhaps we still have that sweet spot for chivalry or maybe valuing security is deeply engrained in our DNA. Whatever the reason, most women want it.

So, why the heck can’t we own it?

… Maybe we feel the pressure of “woke dating culture” and think if we conform to any gender stereotypes, we are the problem.

… Maybe we’re concerned that he’ll perceive us as “materialistic” or “high maintenance” and go find a cheaper date.

… Maybe we question whether or not we’re worth it. Whether our age, appearance, or social status removes us from the category of women who deserve to be provided for.

In the above scenarios, it’s important to acknowledge what’s actually happening –

When you’re worried about being “too much” it’s usually in contrast to someone else’s opinion of what is “just right”.

So it begs the question, is this person’s opinion worth considering?

“Opinions are the cheapest commodities on earth. Everyone has a flock of opinions ready to be wished upon anyone who will accept them.”
~ Napoleon Hill

So, are you “too much” if you expect a guy to pay on a date?

The answer is… it depends on who you’re asking.

If you’re asking a man who sees value in providing for the woman he’s with, it’s a no-brainer; he sees this as his responsibility.

If you’re asking a man who may not have a career or a sense of duty towards being a provider; he sees this as a nuisance.

If you’re asking a hardcore modern feminist she would likely advocate for going Dutch. She may even wonder “why do you even need a man in the first place?”

The point is everyone has an opinion.

If you’re a woman who values a man who has the desire to provide, that is more than okay. You just have to accept you may be “too much” for some, but “perfectly right” for others… and you only need one!

It is better to find men who share your values versus lowering yours to become more palatable, modern, or woke to appease the men or feminists you don’t even want to be dating!

The other important piece in all this, that often gets overlooked is your opinion.

Instead of always asking the question “am I too much?” …

… start asking: “Is he too little?”

We all don’t have to value the same things. It’s just so crucial to recognize whose voice is in your head!

Once you’ve got that clarity then analyze, “does this opinion bring you closer or further from the relationship you want?”.

*And just in case you’re on team “he pays”, (even secretly), 63% of men surveyed say they are right there with you! And that number rises to almost 100% if you go to Turkey, Mexico, Russia, Spain, or Brazil.

Sound familiar?

Chances are you’ve heard other women frustratingly express this sentiment about the lack of desirable partners available … or maybe you’ve thought it to yourself?

I’ve heard it plenty of times from my clients. Some are even ready to close up shop in their current city in hopes of greener pastures elsewhere.

But with men making up more than 50% of the population is it true?

Are all the good men gone?

No.

This is a modern dating myth.

There are a plethora of incredible men searching for their Mrs. Right.

That’s great news, right?

So what exactly is the problem then?

Well, it’s two-fold.

Problem #1 is women are simply not meeting enough men.

Hollywood lied to you.

They sold you on Ryan Gosling swinging from a Ferris wheel until you finally agreed to go on a date with him, and what did you have to do?

Absolutely nothing!

Prince Charming came to you.

So, what is the moral of Hollywood’s story?

It’s that our job as a woman is to wait until something remarkable comes for us, and that simply leaves us with no agency in our love life.

Maybe you’ve put love on the back burner. You’ve been focused on your career and your friendships, and now when you’re ready for love, it seems like it’s nowhere to be found…

… And then when you finally meet somebody who’s “decent”, you come on way too strong, operating from a place of scarcity versus abundance.

We need to increase the odds.

You my dear need to meet more men, period.

When I’m saying meet, I’m not meaning analyze whether he’s going to be your baby daddy, but just have a chat. Flex that conversation muscle.

What this will do besides increasing your odds of meeting your future partner, is prep you to handle the conversation when he does come into your path.

Why is it that women can talk effortlessly to a guy they’re not interested in but when they meet a guy they’re attracted to, they revert to an awkward schoolgirl?

It’s because they are out of practice and they panic.

They don’t know how to flirt or carry on a conversation, and because they meet so few men when one is in front of them that they like, they think they found the golden ticket and get nervous.

Instead of showcasing how wonderful they are, they get in their own way.

If you approach dating like you approach any goal, you would set up certain practices around achieving it, right? Let’s say you want to get healthy; you’d hire a trainer or join a Pilates class. The point is you’d be an action-taker.

Now if you could imagine your future self one year from today, in a great relationship, what routines would you need to make that happen?

Action Steps:

1. Meet one new guy a day.

I hear you, you’re probably thinking, that sounds like a lot! But hold on. I’m not asking you to date the guy, I’m asking you to simply strike up a conversation with a new face every day. It can be as easy as asking for the time or getting them to weigh in on whether you order a chocolate croissant or almond. It’s really about getting out of your comfort zone and making conversation no big deal.

2. Amplify what you already do.

If you work from home, go work from a coffee shop, or a co-working space. Put yourself in places where you increase the chances of interaction. If you go out on the weekends with your girlfriends, challenge yourself to talk to a guy at the bar. You can ask him what drink he recommends or if he’s been here before. It’s not rocket science.

The time to start is now.

Disclaimer: Sometimes the guy will be cold… a lemon.

That is okay! It’s not really about him anyway, it’s about you and your goals. Give yourself the permission and freedom to try.

What’s the worst he could say? I’m celiac.

Now, that’s not so bad, is it?

You may have remembered I said the problem was two-fold. The second challenge is that men are responding to women, and women are confused about how to interact with men. We will get there soon!

But for now lovely, go become a woman with a voice.

You’re on a date and the guy seems really nice.

The waiter comes, you order a glass of cabernet and settle in for what you hope to be a great evening.

“Tell me a bit about yourself?” your date asks.

What begins as a simple intro of what you do and where you’re from, rapidly spirals into you giving him your complete autobiography: why your last relationship ended, your awkward high school phase when your Aunt Gwen gets out of rehab…

… his eyes start to glaze.

Must be allergies, you think to yourself.

“Tell me about you?” You ask.

But before he gets a chance to speak, you realize there is so much more you want to know, so you sneak attack a few more…

“What’s your 5-year plan?

What do you want in a relationship?

Why are you still single? Did she cheat?”

And just like that… he’s out.

Leaving you wondering, just what happened?

Before I get into what’s wrong with this situation, I want to first explain why it happens.

Some women, take the adage, “honesty is the best policy”, to the next level! They don’t want to leave any stone unturned. They want their date to have ALL the information to see if they’re the right fit.

Their core question is: “If you really know me, will you like me?”

For other women, it comes down to their timeline. They stopped viewing dates as fun a loooong time ago… now it’s more of an interview. A necessary means to a hopefully married end.

Their core question is: “Will you meet my checklist? Am I wasting time?”

These women have different motivations but usually experience the same results. Ultimately, the guy is spooked.

When women are in either of these states it doesn’t feel good. It feels frantic and serious. I want you to feel present and relaxed enough to determine whether or not this guy might be a good fit.

So, let’s quickly start by reframing the purpose of a date:

The sole purpose of date #1 is to SEE if you like him enough to get to date #2… The purpose of date #2 is to SEE if you like him enough to get to date #3…

… not to determine whether he’s going to be your baby daddy.

… not to give him your whole life history.

Dating is supposed to be fun (say it again for the people in the back!), and the only way it can be is if you take the pressure off.

Off of him and off of you.

If you’re someone who chronically overshares, I want you to hear me:

Not everyone should have access to your heart.

When you put it all out there but have yet to see if this guy is worthy enough to hold space and handle it, you do yourself dirty.

It’s similar to physical intimacy. When you jump into physical intimacy too quickly, it’s leaving an imbalance emotionally. You’ve overexposed yourself and it’s hard to go back from that.

Now, if you’re a woman on a mission, I want you to evaluate how acting this way makes you feel:

Does it feel good to interrogate? Do you feel more feminine or less?

Has it given you any results? What impact do you see it having on your date?

When you are present and letting things unfold naturally, you get to soften… and that’s a great thing!

If you fall into either of these camps I want you to commit to being present. Present enough to observe how he acts. Present enough to have a conversation that goes back and forth. Present enough to soften your feminine energy and enjoy the evening.

Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day…neither was a relationship on a date.
