Falling in love was never supposed to be easy—it's a design problem, not a character flaw. Dating coach Bela Gandhi explains how biology, attachment patterns, and cultural programming steer us toward the wrong partners, why the list we carry is often wrong, and how a systematic approach to love can change everything.

Her core message: attraction can grow, pacing matters, and love at 50, 60, or beyond is entirely possible.
