Dipping our toe back into the dating pool can seem like a daunting prospect after a long time away. But it doesn't have to be scary. This week, Lyn is joined by Alex Mellor-Brook, the co-founder of Select Personal Introductions, who gives some practical advice on how you can re-enter the dating world with more confidence. KEY TAKEAWAYS Generally women are more likely to reach out for self-help & guidance from others. Usually men seem less willing to ask for help, they prefer to be more autonomous and figure things out for themselves. Strong relationships are built upon healthy communication. If we have effective communication as the foundation, then the relationship is far more likely to last and be happy. Building a network of friends who will be there for you, and to whom you can open up is essential (especially for women) in providing a safety net whilst we're looking for love. Opening ourselves up to love is about looking deep within ourselves and identifying what's fundamentally important to us. BEST MOMENTS 'It's about finding that support network' 'We ought not to be trying to force men to open up' 'It's about making sure the network of friends you have are not toxic' 'You've got to decide what you want' VALUABLE RESOURCES Hearts Entwined Podcast Apple Podcasts (iTunes) Spotify Stitcher  ABOUT THE GUEST Alex Mellor-BrookCo-founder & MD at Select Personal Introductions Alex is a Certified International Matchmaker & Dating Expert.
