From a popular dating coach and podcast host, a guide to dismantling the myths that get in the way of finding love
Does dating feel like you're chasing a "happily ever after" that always seems out of reach?

In F the Fairy Tale , love expert Damona Hoffman helps readers break free of those dating myths--and write their own love stories. Drawing on nearly twenty years of experience as a dating coach, Hoffman reveals the four pillars of strong relationships: goals, values, communication, and trust. And she doesn't just tell readers what to do or not to do--she explains why , exploring the psychological and societal factors behind our behavior to help us break free of old habits for good. F the Fairy Tale gives you the tools to create the happy ending to your love story that's just right for you.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
"Have you ever dismissed a potential date because they didn't check off all of your "must-have" boxes? Have you ever decided there would be no second date because you didn't feel sparks fly right away? Many modern daters are stuck playing by old and outdated rules that no longer reflect the world we live in. To find love that lasts, TV host, podcaster, and love expert Damona Hoffman encourages readers to break free of the myths that no longer serve us in the twenty-first century-and to write our own love stories. In F the Fairy Tale, Hoffman draws on twenty years of experience as a dating coach to bust four common myths-The List Myth, the Rules Myth, the Chemistry Myth, and the Soulmate Myth. She replaces those myths with the four pillars necessary to build lasting love: goals, values, communication, and trust. Hoffman pulls from close to two decades of experience as a dating expert, coupled with a trove of data from OkCupid and other dating sites. And she doesn't just tell readers what to do or not to do - she explains why. Using questions received from her podcast and her LA Times advice column, Hoffman thoughtfully explores the psychological and social factors behind our behavior, helping us break free of old habits for good. F the Fairy Tale gives readers the tools they need to choose the right partner and establish a solid foundation for love"-- Provided by publisher.
