Top Relationship Advice for Women from a Professional Relationship Coach

The world of modern dating can be frustrating (which is a huge understatement!). You don’t necessarily need to get married to start a family or have a fulfilling life, contrary to the beliefs and traditions of older generations. But many people still want some sort of committed partnership. 

That’s where a relationship coach comes in! Our job is to help you find the right person and build a lasting relationship. Here’s our best advice on how to do that. 

Best Dating Practices for Women 

Many people come to us – as a certified dating coach and woman dating coach – looking for relationship advice for women. But no matter your gender or sexual orientation, these tips for a healthy relationship can apply to every aspect of your dating life. So let’s start with the basics!

Dating Dos

If you’re looking for a meaningful connection, practice these positive dating strategies when you’re putting yourself out there.

DO

• Love yourself first: Self-love is key if you want to love someone else. Think about it: If you don’t love yourself, how will you know how to love anyone else? Love every part of yourself and practice positive self-talk to up your self-love.

• Date more mindfully: Being mindful is a form of self-awareness. When dating, this means being present and emotionally available. Try to stay open-minded so you can connect in a meaningful way – with the right person.  

• Establish your non-negotiables: Make sure you know exactly what you want – and what you don’t want. Don’t settle for anything less than what you deserve! This doesn’t mean being so restrictive no one could possibly live up to your standards; it means setting a few expectations that are non-negotiables for your future partner. (Not a laundry list of hundreds of wishes!)

• Communicate openly and honestly: It’s pretty simple to get what you want in a relationship (even though we tend to overcomplicate things!) – be upfront about what you’re looking for. Your date can’t read your mind, so let them know what you want in a potential partner and for your love life. If you communicate your needs from the very start, you’ll avoid lots of unnecessary heartbreak and ambiguity! 

 

Dating Don’ts

As a relationship coach, we’ve seen plenty of no-nos that have prevented our clients from finding love. If you’re looking for a serious relationship, we can’t recommend avoiding these problematic behaviors and actions enough!

DON’T

• Prioritize physical attraction over emotional connections: If you’re looking for a meaningful connection, try to build an emotional connection before getting physically intimate. This way, you’ll know if you actually see yourself with this person long-term – and you’re not getting distracted by the physical side of things. Putting a physical connection before an emotional one can sometimes lead to a hookup or friends with benefits situation so tread carefully!

• Try to change someone who won’t commit: If someone tells you they aren’t looking for a relationship, believe them! Don’t think, “If only I stick around a bit longer, they’ll commit to me.” This is rarely the case! (Sorry!) Instead of trying to change someone, find a person who wants to commit to you. 

• Stay quiet when something bothers you: Speak up if you ever feel disrespected or hurt at any stage of dating. Let the other person know if they say or do something you don’t like. If you don’t express your thoughts and feelings, they’ll continue to act this way and won’t understand why you’re so upset. 

• Blame others when something doesn’t work out: It’s easy to blame someone else when a person you thought was great doesn’t end up being your match. It’s no one’s fault (not even your own) – it’s just an issue of incompatibility. 

How Can a Relationship Coach Help?

As a relationship coach, our goal is always to give clients advice that leads to healthy and fulfilling relationships. We don’t simply hand you a set of rules and walk away. As your relationship coach, we’re on the sidelines, cheering you on every step of the way!

Here are just a few ways a relationship coach can help you find love:

One-on-One Support

This is one of the most significant benefits of finding a relationship coach online. You can reach out for any follow-up questions so your relationship coach can help you through every win and challenge. Having that kind of dedicated professional support when you need it most will make all the difference in your dating life!  

Help Avoid Dating Red Flags

The key to not wasting your time in looking for love? Identifying red flags early on. A relationship coach has heard it all (seriously!), and we can help you not only recognize red flags sooner but avoid them altogether. A lot of daters overlook or ignore red flags when they see other positive qualities in the person. It’s our mission to help you end this habit – it’s holding you back from finding the love you deserve!

Empower with Self-Awareness

A relationship coach is passionate about helping singles achieve self-awareness so they realize they’re in control of their life, relationships, and happiness. Awareness leads to action and actions lead to change. We help our clients grow their self-awareness and remove the victim mentality so they don’t feel jaded by their dating life. 

Boost Your Confidence

Our relationship advice for women always centers on helping women build their confidence in dating at every stage of their life. Having confidence in yourself and knowing you have a lot to offer will give you the power to ask yourself “Do I like this person?” instead of “Do they like me?”
