Free — Chapter One of the book Date 96
Maybe you don't need to try harder at dating.
Maybe you need a different way to do it.
Tuesday night. Couch. Phone. The dating app open again.
Another set of profiles. A few half-hearted conversations. The quiet suspicion that everyone is talking to ten other people at once.
You've been told, "that's just how people meet now." Or, "you'll meet him when the time is right."
Meanwhile, another six months disappears.
If that feels familiar, Chapter One is where I'd start.

I didn't set out to become a dating coach. I set out to find my person.
Anya had built the career, the home and the independent life. But one Sunday night she realised she wanted someone to share it with.
She'd been deliberate about work, money, travel and almost everything else. Love had been left to chance. So she decided to run an experiment:
100 real dates.
One year.
No dating apps.
The experiment changed how she met people, how she chose, and how she showed up. Then came Date 96. He became her husband.
"The number wasn't the magic. The change was learning to participate differently in my own love life."
"I have someone I think you should meet."
The phone call that eventually led to Date 96.
Send me Chapter OneStart where the experiment started.
Chapter One is free. Read it, see if this way of thinking about dating feels like you, and take the first step toward no longer leaving love entirely to chance.
