Mariaâs signature strategies that will change your dating game

The 12 Date Rule
Slow down. Seriously.
The 12 Date Rule is Mariaâs framework to help you stop rushing into relationships that go nowhere and gives you the space to explore connection, chemistry, and characterâwithout the pressure to define things too fast.

Color Theory
Your dating wardrobe isnât just about style.
Color Theory is Mariaâs signature take on how your clothing communicates who you are and what youâre looking forâbefore you say a single word. Think of it as a cheat code for first impressions.
âŠand the real talk you wonât find on TikTok.
