Not sure who needs to hear this but...there is nothing wrong with wanting real love, emotional safety, and marriage, while also feeling unsure where to begin.
So many millennial and Gen Z women come into dating therapy feeling overwhelmed by mixed signals, situationships, and advice that tells them to “just go with the flow.” What actually creates clarity is slowing down and having intentional conversations before moving to the next stage of a relationship.
