Did you know that half of America is single? The ways in which people now seek love, and find it, have dramatically changed. The social media culture has profoundly altered the dating landscape.

When I was dating my first husband, there were red flags that I didn’t really understand or know how to deal with. As an empath, I was “attracted” to the fact that he sadly didn’t have a happy family and had had a pretty difficult upbringing. He was broken. I was a natural “fixer” and peacemaker.

I’m an online dating success. That didn’t come without learning some life lessons…
