Providence Life Coach Dating Success Series – Be You
We all know dating can be very challenging, between the awful blind dates, the people who pretend to be something they aren’t, the awkwardness, the general disappointment and wanting something and not finding, at least not yet. There is also an amazing side to dating too. But do the disappointments outweigh the benefits? My personal and professional experience demonstrates that the benefits do outweigh the disappointments.
