Dating Expert Challenges 'Spark' Myth: Is Instant Chemistry Necessary?

Dating expert Carla Romo challenges conventional wisdom, arguing that the much-sought-after 'spark' on a first date isn't essential. In a recent video, Romo, who boasts of helping over 1,000 singles find love, states, "Many times, that spark comes from our nervous system and is actually a mask for anxiety." She advocates for a more relaxed approach to dating, suggesting that focusing on genuine connection rather than immediate chemistry can lead to more fulfilling relationships. The video, which has already garnered thousands of views, has sparked debate online, with many viewers agreeing that the pressure to feel an instant spark can be detrimental to dating. Romo's advice to "slow the F down" has resonated with many who feel overwhelmed by the dating scene. While some disagree, the video's popularity suggests a growing openness to re-evaluating traditional dating expectations.
