Respectfully, I'm Not Doing That

Dating is exhausting. Boundaries are awkward. Bad decisions make great stories. And sometimes the healthiest thing you can say is, "Respectfully, I'm not doing that."

Respectfully, I'm Not Doing That is a funny, sassy, and slightly unfiltered look at dating, mixed signals, red flags, boundaries, confidence, closure, and all the questionable decisions we make even when we absolutely know better. From decoding a three-letter "hey" like it contains classified information to convincing yourself "I can fix him" is a legitimate relationship strategy, this book calls out the chaos with humor, honesty, and enough self-awareness to admit that sometimes... we were the problem too.

nside, you'll find relatable takes on situationships, people-pleasing, protecting your peace, dating someone's potential, learning to trust actions instead of words, and figuring out when it's finally time to stop explaining yourself and walk away.This isn't about becoming cold, swearing off love, or pretending you never care. It's about being soft without being a pushover, having standards without apologizing for them, laughing at the lessons that cost you entirely too much, and remembering that somebody else's inability to recognize your value doesn't reduce it.

You can miss somebody and still not need them back.
You can love somebody and still choose yourself.
You can make a bad decision without making it your entire personality.

And when something clearly doesn't belong in the life you're trying to build?

Respectfully, you're not doing that.
