She further explains, “My philosophy isn’t about getting the guy. It’s about opening your heart wide enough that the guy can walk into you’re life and that you’re ready for him.”

With that said, in today’s world, there’s not a “one size fits all” approach to dating. “It used to be that you’d date in your early 20s, settle down in your mid-20s and be married for the rest of your life,” McMillan explains. “Now, there’s a lot of confusion because people don’t understand that you don’t date the same as you do when you’re 25 and 38.”

Still, the author of Why You’re Not Married Yet: The Straight Talk You Need to Get The Relationship You Deserve believes that it’s “not necessarily harder to date.” There’s just more circumstances to consider when looking for love ” which is where she can help.
