What if Dating Isn't For Me?

She's 26 and has never been in a relationship that made her feel
happier or more fulfilled than when she's single. She's questioning
whether being in a relationship is right for her. Esther helps her
explore the issues stemming from her childhood, her need for
perfection, and how these impact her romantic life. Esther Callings
are a one time, 45-60 minute interventional phone call with Esther.
They are edited for time, clarity, and anonymity. If you have a
question you would like to talk through with Esther, send a voice
memo to producer@estherperel.com. Producer’s Note: When our
anonymous guests do a session with Esther for the podcast, it
is an act of generosity for everyone who listens. These sessions
are meant not only to support the people in the room with Esther,
but all of us who learn from their stories. Our stories have many
chapters, and what you hear is just one moment in someone’s
journey. So even though the sessions are anonymous, please remember
that real people are behind them and they may be reading your
comments. Also, please join me on Entre Nous, my new home on
Substack for anyone who wants to live, love, and work with more
connection and imagination. I invite you to sign up and become a
