We talk a lot about effort and intention in dating — but what do those words actually mean?

In this episode, Stephanie unpacks the difference between effort, intensity, and love bombing, and why confusing them can quietly derail connection.

Effort isn’t about grand gestures or dramatic declarations. It’s about steadiness, reliability, and paying attention. Intention isn’t about rushing the pace or locking something down early. It’s about clarity — and making sure your actions line up with what you say you want.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “doing enough” — or whether you might be moving too fast — this episode will help you recalibrate.

What could a dancing hitman possibly teach you about dating?

More than you might think.

In Episode 70, Stephanie reflects on the film Mr. Right and the infectious energy of My Type by Saint Motel — and why she chose that tone for Cupid’s Playbook for Men.

This isn’t a movie review. It’s a conversation about presence, ease, and the quiet power of paying attention.

Dating doesn’t have to feel like a performance. Sometimes it’s about noticing, listening, and being steady enough to enjoy the moment.

A little unconventional. A little thoughtful. And very on purpose.

In this episode, Stephanie is joined by her close friend, George, who found love on a dating app — and went on to marry her match.

She shares what dating really looked like behind the scenes: the bad profiles, the frustration with dishonesty, and the patterns she quickly learned to avoid. What stood out about her now-husband from the very beginning wasn’t polish or performance — it was honesty. His profile was clear, truthful, and grounded, and that created trust long before anything felt certain.

Stephanie and George talk openly about the challenges that came after the match — the real-life moments where things weren’t easy — and how humour, communication, and staying aligned helped them navigate those seasons together.

This episode isn’t about perfect love stories or dating app fairytales. It’s about what actually lasts when two people show up honestly, deal with reality as it comes, and choose each other with integrity.

If you’ve ever wondered whether real, enduring love can grow from an app — and what makes the difference when it does — this conversation offers a grounded, hopeful perspective.
