Genevieve Gresset has always been a hopeless romantic. Love is for her, the most important thing in life, and with this firmly held belief, she’s turned her considerable skills in matchmaking to ensure that other “hopeless" romantics become “hopeful" ones. As the CEO of Elect Club and the Co-Founder of Relationship Retreats, she has seen to it that love has blossomed between countless couples. Genevieve joins Lyn today to discuss the modern dating scene, and shares how to create healthy romantic expectations in the dating world. KEY TAKEAWAYS People always come into dating with unrealistic expectations. Whether that’s selling themselves short, or creating extensive lists of requirements they want in potential partners. By doing this they are setting themselves up to fail, and also setting any potential love interests up to fail. Trusting your instincts is paramount in dating. If something doesn’t feel right, then chances are that it’s not a match. Attraction happens on a far deeper, more subconscious level, so trust your instincts. To keep lust alive in a relationship, we need to have the basics in place; clear communication, friendship, camaraderie and complete trust to lay solid foundations for keeping the flame and passion alive. Location is often an unrealistic expectation. People may put barriers on a potential romance because geographically their match is not ideal. But you should always try to find a way. True love will always be worth travelling for! If someone loses interest in you, or refuses a match with you, then do not change yourself to suit their requirements. This will never work. Don’t be afraid to let one door close to allow a better one to open.
