Summary

On your journey to find and keep love (if this is your wish) have you ever felt like maybe you are meant to stay single forever?

That is how this week’s guest, Glo Atanmo aka Glo Graphics on IG felt throughout most of her life. She was used to not being any man's first choice only to later date 12 quality men at once. Then in 2022, she embarked on her pursuit of finding her forever love. She is now openly sharing her love story with her millions of followers online.

In this episode, she breaks down what the journey looked like and how she pursued an intentional dating season that led her to her lover.

Research article by Lachlan Brown for HackSpirit called “I can’t find love”. - 20 things to remember if you feel this is you”.

You’re not really looking
You’re list of wants in a partner is too long
You’re in the wrong place
You believe too much in soul mates and destiny
You’re still not over your ex (intimate idealization)
You don’t know what people want from you/ you don’t want to give it
You have unresolved childhood issues
You feel like you unconditionally deserve love
You try way too hard
You’re not being your true self
You don’t know how to play the game
You take dating for granted (entitlement issues)
You sabotage relationships
