WHAT IT’S REALLY ABOUT
Dating Coach Jillian Turecki on Choosing Partners, Self-Awareness, and Honest Love
- Jillian Turecki names dating mistakes such as relying only on apps, impatience, high expectations and long text exchanges, and urges building resilience to rejection by meeting people in person.
- She argues there is no 'the one' because love is a choice, and that rushing it is a disservice given how much a partner shapes your wellbeing.
- She and Jay Shetty explain why people chase unavailable partners and overlook interested ones, pointing to low self-esteem, childhood wounds, fear of intimacy and projection, and say people should look at character, values and safety instead of chemistry or charisma.
- In relationships, they stress telling the truth, taking accountability, accepting a partner for who they are, and getting out of your head through communication and movement.
- For stuck or ended relationships, Turecki recommends bringing novelty, connection and vulnerability to a coasting partnership, and reflecting honestly on your own patterns and strengths after a breakup.
IDEAS WORTH REMEMBERING
5 ideasRejection is a muscle to build
Turecki says that if someone isn't into you, they aren't for you, and that building resilience against rejection makes you more attractive. She says you can't hide behind texts and expect love.
Don't let long text exchanges fake intimacy
She warns that weeks of texting a stranger creates a false sense of connection, and recommends texting briefly and then meeting by video or in person.
Love is a choice you make repeatedly
Turecki says there is no 'the one'; you choose who the one is, and long-term commitment means choosing the person many times. Slowing down lets you uncover a partner's character and values.
Beliefs shape your reality and reinforce your patterns
Her story of a friend who believed all men want only sex shows how giving repeated second dates to poor behavior reinforced the belief. She advises challenging beliefs and changing your type.
Character and values keep people together, not attraction alone
Shetty says attraction isn't what keeps him with his wife; peace, friendship and quick forgiveness do. Turecki lists good treatment, being yourself around them, and agreeing on what a life well-lived looks like as key criteria.
WORDS WORTH SAVING
5 quotesIf someone is not into you, for whatever reason, like let's say you're in the early dating process, they're not attracted to you, they're not feeling a spark, whatever it is, they absolutely are not for you. I can guarantee that.

Love, as I'm sure you know, is a choice. Like, it's a feeling, for sure, but we're so conditioned to believe that love is just a feeling as opposed to a choice.
— Jillian Turecki
You're never gonna raise your self-esteem by being too precious with yourself. You have to be willing to be brave and to look at the hard things, but also, at the same time, acknowledge how strong you are.

If you want an apple, then you have to sit under an apple tree, not sit in like a pear tree and then expect the apple to come down.
— Jillian Turecki
Accountability is everything. And it's not about taking all the blame, but we have to be able to own our stuff.
— Jillian Turecki
