Lyn welcomes dating coach Lana Ricco, who shares her insights on the trend of ghosting after what seems like a great date. They delve into the reasons behind why men may disappear, emphasising that if a man is truly interested, he will pursue a connection. Lana discusses the significance of understanding one's own values and expectations in relationships, as well as the importance of setting firm boundaries. The conversation also touches on the complexities of dating, the impact of rejection, and the necessity of self-worth when faced with ghosting.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Ghosting often occurs because he is simply not interested. If a man disappears after a seemingly great date, it likely means he didn't see a future with you, it's about him rather than any personal inadequacy on your part. Rejection can be reframed as protection. If someone ghosts you, it frees you to find someone who is genuinely interested and compatible, rather than investing time chasing a relationship that may not lead anywhere. Establishing and maintaining personal boundaries is crucial in relationships. If a partner crosses these boundaries, it’s important to firmly communicate and address the issue to prevent further discomfort or resentment. Before entering a relationship, it’s essential to understand your own values and what you want from a partner. This self-awareness helps identify compatible partners and avoid unhealthy relationships. Marriage should be approached with seriousness and thoughtfulness. It’s important to consider the long-term implications and responsibilities that come with marriage, rather than viewing it as a temporary arrangement. BEST MOMENTS "If they really like you, they would continue. People are pretty simple. If we like something, we want more of it. If we don’t want more of it, then it means we don’t like it." "You can think about why people are afraid, but unfortunately, all you have to do is just see their actions, because actions show everything." "If your partner is constantly complaining about every single minor thing, that's also a red flag. There's something wrong because people usually get along with those things." "Reframe the word rejection to mean protection. In other words, they’re not meant for you, so you’re free now to meet somebody who is." "Don't attach your self-worth and self-esteem to someone's behaviour. If the guy is ghosting you, it's not because something is wrong with you."
