Coming up on this episode of Flirtations, we’re throwing out the rulebook and breaking the so-called “rules” of dating with certified dating coach Alison Wellington!

From how soon is too soon to ask, “What are you looking for?” to why matching energy might actually be holding you back, we’re challenging the norms and rethinking dating strategy.

We’re also taking on the is dating a numbers game topic and if you should be dating multiple people at once? 

Plus, we get into some of the biggest conversations in straight dating like "Who should plan? Who should pay?"

But that’s not all, we’ll also tell you why being unavailable isn’t the same as playing hard to get and why you need to be saying no at least a time or two.

Finally, the marathon first date is on the table — is it a recipe for connection, or just too much too soon?

So, if you’ve ever questioned the so-called “rules” of dating, this episode is for you!
