About Paige Parker

Paige ParkerFor as long as I can remember, I have been obsessed with men. (No, not like that…)

What I mean is that I’m curious about guys: what they think, why they think it and, of course, why they do the insanely confusing things they do.

Before getting married, I dated quite a bit. Although my goal was to find Mr. Right, I did approach the dating process like a romantic anthropologist of sorts. I was always making notes and observations about my experiences, as well as my friends’ experiences. I read every self-help book I could get my hands on and studied some psychology, paying special attention to the biological differences between men and women and how they affect the way we relate to one another in our romantic relationships.

Because I was so analytical about my love life, I became my girlfriends’ go-to girl for dating advice. I enjoyed a successful career as a freelance writer, but most of my free time was consumed with advising friends, family, colleagues and acquaintances on how to meet and attract men, communicate effectively with their boyfriends, navigate long-distance relationships, survive breakups, and more. Through my friends’ – and my own – tumultuous experiences, I began to notice common mistakes and set out to identify the causes and find solutions to them. I certainly wasn’t an expert to begin with, but I always made it a point to learn from dating mistakes and then try a new approach the next time around.

After enough of these experiences, I finally discovered the drama-free approach to dating that actually works.  And once I did, I could no longer ignore my true calling. My life experience, passion for helping women find the love they deserve, and the urging of the women I’d reached along the way culminated in the decision to create DATING WITHOUT DRAMA and make relationship coaching and writing a full-time career.  

My mission for Dating Without Drama is to help women understand men better and love themselves more.  My new rules for modern dating encourage them to play the dating game without manipulation so they can find – and keep – a healthy, loving relationship. 

Through my coaching I strive to instill self-worth in women so they may become selective daters: focusing not on changing themselves to make a man love them, but instead having the patience and confidence to only give their hearts to a man who will meet their needs.
