When Loneliness Tricks You Into Thinking It’s Love

Hi LinkedIn family! It’s Rebecca Cooper Traynor from Match Me Canada, here to talk about something that comes up often in dating: when loneliness tricks you into thinking it’s love.

Loneliness can make us overlook red flags, settle for less, or cling to connections that don’t truly fulfill us. But here’s the truth: love should feel grounding, supportive, and aligned with your values—not like a temporary fix for a void.

Here are a few ways to tell the difference:

1. Love Adds Value: If the relationship doesn’t enhance your life, it might be loneliness talking.
2. Red Flags Matter: Don’t ignore behaviors that don’t align with your goals.
3. Grounded vs. Anxious: Real love feels secure, not uncertain.

Loneliness is a natural feeling, but it doesn’t have to define your dating journey. If you’re ready to find clarity and connection, let’s talk. Book a call with me here.
