Bare Minimum

You slept with him. Now you’re checking your phone every four minutes, analysing his emojis and wondering why he’s gone quiet.

That’s bangxiety. And there’s a cure.

Bare Minimum is a laugh-out-loud ebook that tells you how slow dating can be easy, fun, and calm. Once you’ve slept with someone, your brain chemistry makes it much harder to see him clearly, and much easier to ignore the red flags waving right in front of you.

Inside, dating coach Kate Taylor shows you:

• Why sex too soon scrambles your judgement: the oxytocin and dopamine science behind the obsession
• How to date without sex, practically and without angst
• Why you should date more than one man until someone proves himself
• How to cure Brittle Backbone Disease and stop giving Brian too much, too soon
• What men really say about the women who make them wait

Decide what your bare minimum is before you get that way.
