This is not a book about manipulation, fake confidence, pressure, or pretending to be someone you are not. It is about communicating with warmth, respect, clarity, and confidence.

Jordan Blake is a psychologist, relationship coach, writer, and advocate for healthy communication and meaningful human connection. Through her work, she helps people better understand themselves, communicate with greater confidence, and build relationships that feel more respectful, secure, and genuine.
Jordan's approach combines relationship psychology, emotional awareness, communication skills, and practical real-world guidance. She believes that strong connections are not built through perfect words or clever performances, but through honesty, empathy, self-awareness, and the ability to communicate clearly.
Her writing is designed to make relationship guidance easy to understand and useful in everyday life. Rather than focusing only on why people struggle in dating and relationships, Jordan is especially interested in helping readers develop the practical skills needed to start conversations, express interest, handle uncertainty, communicate boundaries, and create healthier connections.
When she's not writing, Jordan enjoys spending time in nature, reading, and exploring new ideas about personal growth, emotional well-being, communication, and human connection.
What Do I Say Next? was written for anyone who has ever wanted to approach someone, continue a promising conversation, send the right message, or ask for a date but struggled to find the words. Jordan hopes this book helps readers communicate with greater confidence, stay true to themselves, and create genuine connections one conversation at a time.
