Crush Course: Are you in 'attraction debt?'

3 days ago | bodyandsoul.com.au | Sera Bozza

You haven’t been ghosted, you’ve ghosted your own dating life. Attraction doesn’t disappear, it just powers down. Here’s how to get your signal (and your spark) back. You skip a few interactions, flake on a plan and swipe aimlessly but never message. You tell yourself you’re “focusing on yourself,” but really? You’re dodging rejection. And before you know it, five months have passed, and you haven’t flirted with anyone, let alone yourself.
Romance recessions are real, and they're hitting harder in 2025

5 days ago | bodyandsoul.com.au | Sera Bozza

We keep telling ourselves it’s financially smarter to stay single right now. But when life’s this uncertain, is that playing it safe, or just playing it small? Dating coach Sera Bozza weighs in. Modern dating wasn’t born from romance. It was born from disposable income. In the 2016 book ‘The Labor of Love’, Moira Weigel investigates how dating, as we know it, only kicked off when single workers moved into cities in the early 20th century.
'I went to Adidas HQ and tested pro athlete shoes - here’s how it changed my running'

I’m not a pro athlete. But for a few days at Adidas HQ in Germany, I got to train like one. And after being in their shoes, I’m not going back. At 10 am on a Thursday in rural Germany, I was sprinting on a camera-rigged treadmill, trying to pretend my ‘easy pace’ wasn’t actually my max heart rate – while a lab full of scientists tracked every move.
Can you survive the 'relationship interest rate'?

1 week ago | bodyandsoul.com.au | Sera Bozza

Great relationships aren’t built on fireworks. They’re built on frequency. If your connection only spikes during birthdays and breakdowns, your love life might be running at a loss. We love a grand gesture. The surprise trip. The 50 roses. The surprise dinner with a bill that could clear your HECS debt. But here’s the thing no one wants to admit: those spikes don’t save you. Not if the emotional account is running on fumes the other 364 days a year.
Dating your doppelganger? It’s not the green flag you think

2 weeks ago | bodyandsoul.com.au | Sera Bozza

You finish each other’s niche cultural references. It’s uncanny. It’s cute. It’s comforting. But if dating your doppelganger feels a little too easy, that’s not a green flag—it might be why there’s no spark. We’ve started treating compatibility like a checklist. Likes hiking? Tick. Same taste in film? Tick. Identical politics, playlists, and weekend rituals? Colossal tick. Zero friction. But also? Zero fire.

Home Life Sex & Relationships There's a reason run clubs are so popular Asides Run clubs have turned into the most wholesome cult you’ll ever consider joining. It’s fitness, but it’s also chemistry, community, and that smugly addictive high of doing something hard (together) before 8 am.
Do tradies make better partners? The red and green flags to look out for

2 weeks ago | womenshealth.com.au | Sera Bozza

There are a surprising number of similarities between what we look for in a tradie and what we want from a potential partner: someone who texts back, follows through, and crucially, doesn’t ghost halfway through the relationship… or the job.The same traits that make someone great on-site also make them great in relationships. Whether someone’s quoting your bathroom or texting after a date, the checklist is the same: Are they reliable? Are they honest?

The dating “rulebook” tells us that men chase younger women while women seek older, more established partners. But what if that’s outdated, culturally conditioned nonsense? Words by Sera Bozza for Body+SoulA new study from the University of California, Davis, analysed 4500 blind dates and found that when it comes to real-life attraction – how people actually feel, not what they think they want – both men and women preferred younger partners. That’s right.
What exactly is phubbing and how is it ruining your dating life

1 month ago | bodyandsoul.com.au | Sera Bozza

Phubbing - staring directly at your phone instead of into your date's eyes, not only ruins the date you're on but also your chances of a second. Here's how to date distraction-free. We all know that when we're on a date, we should think, "Do I like them?". But, let's be real when you're nervous, you can't help the magnetic pull of "But, do they like me?"So we start acting like amateur detectives on our dates, looking for any evidence of the contrary.
The overthinker's guide to dating without losing your mind

1 month ago | bodyandsoul.com.au | Sera Bozza

Read receipts, ghosting, and those dreaded three-dot typing bubbles… For overthinkers, dating is a full-blown mental obstacle course. Here’s how to survive it. Dating today is an anxious person’s nightmare: notifications built for dopamine spikes, communication designed to stay vague, and a culture obsessed with keeping options open. If you crave clarity, the dating world will push every button you have. That doesn’t make you needy – it makes you human in an inhuman system.
