Dating with ADHD can turn one unanswered text into an entire relationship crisis. You had a great date. You sent the message. Then the reply doesn't come. Suddenly you're rereading the conversation, analysing their punctuation, wondering whether you talked too much, came on too strong, or somehow ruined everything. If that sounds painfully familiar, Dating Without the Spiral was written for you. This practical and compassionate guide explores what can happen when an ADHD brain meets modern dating — where uncertainty, rejection, dopamine, dating apps and endless waiting can create the perfect conditions for overthinking. Inside, you'll discover how to:• Understand rejection sensitivity and why a slow text can feel so personal• Recognise an ADHD dating spiral before it takes over• Handle the intense highs of hyper-fixation and new relationships• Stop mistaking emotional intensity for genuine compatibility• Navigate dating apps without becoming trapped in the dopamine loop• Understand forgotten texts, time blindness and communication difficulties• Recognise masking and start showing up more authentically on dates• Avoid oversharing and moving too quickly without hiding who you are• Decide when and how to talk about ADHD with someone you're dating• Tell the difference between exciting chemistry and a genuinely healthy connection• Build relationships that feel steady without assuming steady means boring This isn't a book about becoming less emotional, less enthusiastic or easier for somebody else to love. It's about understanding what your brain is doing when dating becomes overwhelming — and having practical strategies ready before the spiral takes over. Warm, straightforward and free from judgement, Dating Without the Spiral is for adults with ADHD who are tired of analysing every silence, falling too fast, questioning their worth and losing themselves in the search for connection. You don't need to become someone else to find a healthy relationship.©2026 Maya Collins (P)2026 Maya Collins Love, Dating & Attraction Mental Health Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Relationships
