How to spot emotional availability (Fast)


Hi Reader,

If you’ve ever been on a date, there’s a 99.9% chance you’ve asked a question. Maybe even two or three. 😉

Questions are, of course, a key part of dating. But what you ask matters more than you might think.

There are the usual small-talk questions (“What do you do for work?” “Where are you from?”). However, those rarely tell you much about a person’s character or emotional availability.

Instead, I want you to try what I call strategic questions: the subtle, revealing ones that give you a true glimpse into someone’s values, self-awareness, and openness to connection.

I just wrote a new article breaking this down, including:

  • The 3 types of questions most people ask on dates
  • How some questions can deepen the connection without killing the vibe
  • 3 strategic questions that can save you weeks (or months!) of wasted time on the wrong person

The best part? These questions don’t feel forced or heavy: they actually keep the conversation englightening and engaging while showing you exactly who’s sitting across from you.

When you date this way, instead of just collecting cute stories, you'll also be collecting evidence of compatibility.

Love,

Imani

P.S. The right person will love going deeper with you. The wrong one? They’ll reveal themselves quickly: which is actually a win. 🙌

Hey Reader, What do you want? Someone who loves you for exactly who you are. And then what do you do? Act nothing like yourself. And then what do you get? Someone who thinks they know you. And then how do you feel? Not great, because they don’t actually know you. And then what do you do? Usually, end the relationship. And then who do you blame? Maybe them, maybe yourself. And then what do you do next?… If this cycle sounds familiar, you’re probably stuck in people-pleasing mode: the sneaky...

Let’s be honest... cause a lot of women are feeling it right now... many men suck.(Not all, but enough to make dating feel like trying to find Wi-Fi in the desert.) Between half-hearted effort, emotional unavailability, and situationships that go nowhere, it’s easy to lose faith in the whole process. But if you do want to keep dating (and, better yet, stop feeling defeated by it), there’s one little thing you can do that’ll save you a ton of emotional energy: 👉 Choose and commit to one of...

Hey Reader, Let’s be real… most people who struggle in dating aren’t struggling because they don’t care enough. They’re struggling because they care too much. They analyze every text. Overthink every pause. Rehearse every conversation before it even happens. If that sounds familiar, I want you to know this: You’re not “too much.” You’re just trying too hard. And I don’t mean that in a judgmental way. I mean you’re trying too hard to control something that’s meant to flow. Connection....
