Are You the Definition of D.A.T.I.N.G

Are you dating with clarity, or are you carrying old patterns into new relationships?

In Are You the Definition of D.A.T.I.N.G?, Licensed Professional Counselor DeEveria Lacy invites readers to look beyond attraction and examine what truly shapes their relationships. Childhood experiences, generational beliefs, unresolved trauma, defense mechanisms, unspoken expectations, and controlling habits can influence how people give and receive love without them even realizing it. Through relatable situations, client experiences, memorable comparisons, and thought-provoking questions, DeEveria explores the difference between a representative and a true presentation, selfishness and selflessness, compatibility and conformity, clarity and projection, and communication and genuine understanding. Readers are encouraged to recognize red flags, establish meaningful boundaries, take accountability, listen actively, and stop expecting others to follow narratives they were never invited to read. This is not a guide to finding a perfect partner; it is an invitation to understand yourself before asking someone else to understand you. Before asking, "Are they the right person for me?" ask yourself, "Am I showing up correctly for the relationship I say I want?" The mirror is available. The gates are visible. The direction is yours to choose.
