How To Attract Love & Date Online (and In-Person) With Ease
When one of my best girlfriends asked me for online dating advice recently at a coffee shop, I choked on my chai boba tea and decided to call in an expert.
You see, for most of my life I had this love threatening condition called fall-for-your-best-guy-friend-and-get-rejected-itis. Every time it flared up I treated it with a medicine, Independence, and the label on the bottle read “I’m busy and I don’t need to waste time looking for a relationship – I’ve got me and I’m awesome.”
It took a near-death experience for me to see that deep down I really wanted to share my life with someone and start a family. That this was actually a priority for me. That I was open to it.
Shortly after leaving the hospital I met my husband. Yes, just like that, he showed up… Like magic. Are you rolling your eyes right now? I get that this story can feel wildly unhelpful if you’re single, especially if you’re new to the woo and the concept of manifestation (like my friend, and me at that time).
It seemed like a lucky coincidence. A really lucky one, given that I lived in a sparsely populated country with such poor internet connection that online dating wasn’t even an option…
The great news is that there are ways to attract love without near-death experiences. I asked amazing love coach and digital dating expert, Laurie Davis Edwards, to share her wisdom on how we can slip into “receptive mode.”
In this interview, Laurie shares how to attract love and date online (and in person) with more ease and less lists.
Laurie is the founder of eFlirt, a company that has helped thousands of people find love over the last decade.
She is responsible for more than 100 marriages and engagements to date, and married her tweetheart who she eFlirted with in 140 characters on Twitter.
Laurie is a TEDx speaker and author of the best-selling book, Love @ First Click: The Ultimate Guide to Online Dating.
Her advice has been featured in over 500 international media outlets, including the New York Times, Good Morning America, The Steve Harvey Show, Forbes, New York Magazine, Elle, and the Wall Street Journal.
Laurie is part of our Miracle Mamahood community (free to join here btw) and generously made the time to share her wisdom shortly before the birth of her daughter.
In this interview, Laurie shares her expertise from working with thousands of people including:
- How your mindset and your intuition affects your ability to attract and receive love (3:57)
- What’s really going on when you’re struggling to meet “the good ones” (and a simple practice to shift this) (6:39)
- Whether you should “waste time” or “settle” for dating someone who is a maybe (11:11)
- The 3 step formula for communicating online and how you can lead with your authentic self (18:04)
- A key difference between same sex and opposite sex dating online and offline (26:32)
Here’s the thing: We all want to love and be loved, but finding love often feels complicated, hard, and time-consuming. And, let’s not forget, full of awkward moments.
And the pressure, oh the pressure. From those ticking biological clocks everyone keeps talking about to those pity-filled “sucks to be you” looks you get as a single mother… there’s all sorts of guilt and shame that gets added to the mix.
It’s no surprise most of us reach a point of “why bother?” and want to throw in the towel. Laurie shares what to do when this happens too – and how to manage your emotional investment and energy to avoid dating burnout.
When it comes to love, I invite you to join me in vibrating the mantra Laurie shares:
