Welcome to another episode of the Book of Love Podcast! In this episode, we're tackling three unique dating questions from our listeners. Jean-eva is here to offer insights and advice to help you navigate the complex world of relationships.

Question #1: Torn Between the "Nice Guy" and the Ex with Chemistry

In our first question, a listener is dating a great guy who is kind and considerate but lacks the chemistry she's seeking. Her ex, who was hot and cold during their relationship, recently reached out, sparking old feelings. How should she decide between the stable guy and the ex with undeniable chemistry?

Jean-eva discusses:

• The importance of chemistry in a relationship and whether it's enough to sustain a healthy partnership.
• The value of stability, kindness, and consistency in a long-term relationship.
• How to assess whether the pull toward an ex is due to nostalgia or genuine compatibility.
• Strategies to help make an informed decision that prioritizes emotional well-being.

Question #2: Managing Jealousy in a Healthy Relationship

Our second question comes from a listener who admits to feeling jealous when her boyfriend talks to other women, despite his openness and transparency. She acknowledges her jealousy stems from past experiences of infidelity. How can she overcome these feelings and maintain a healthy relationship with her boyfriend?

Jean-eva explores:

• The root causes of jealousy and how past experiences can influence current relationships.
• The importance of open communication with a partner to discuss feelings of insecurity.
• Techniques to build self-confidence and trust within a relationship.
• The significance of recognizing a supportive partner and how to focus on the positive aspects of the relationship.

Question #3: Affection and Its Impact on Relationships

The third question comes from a listener who feels her affectionate nature might be scaring off potential partners. After hitting it off with a guy, she noticed a shift in his attitude after they slept together on their fourth date. She wonders if her culture's emphasis on affection might be affecting her dating experiences with Canadian men.

Jean-eva discusses:

• How affection is actually a benefit when dating
• How sleeping with someone on any date wouldn't matter with the right person.
• Advice for pacing relationships and setting personal boundaries to avoid confusion.
• Understanding that each person's journey to find the right relationship is unique and requires patience and self-acceptance.
