'Summer House's Paige DeSorbo's Therapist Gave Her Dating Advice We Should All Take

   

She may not be a Summer House OG, but Paige DeSorbo is arguably the most beloved star of the series. Joining during Season 3, Paige has proven that she's a girl's girl, the best friend you want to hang out in bed with, and truly one of the only people in the share house who can speak any semblance of sense. But now, as Season 9 is airing, viewers are seeing the cracks being exposed as her happiness has been tested.

Though the current season was filmed prior to the shocking breakup of Paige and her long-time boyfriend Craig Conover from Southern Charm, fans have been privy to her life post-Craig. Recently, the Giggly Squad co-host has opened up about her personal life now that the 32-year-old's life has been turned upside down. Thanks to her openness and vulnerability, Paige has been sharing some important advice that she's passing along to her fans.

Paige DeSorbo Reveals Important Dating Advice

This summer, for the first time in a long time, Paige DeSorbo is spending her summer single. Is sh going to celebrate it as hot girl summer or is she ready to mingle? Speaking with US Weekly, the Summer House star shared some incredible advice her therapist gave her about dating. Advice that she said was like getting hit in the face with a brick. Her therapist pointed out that with her dating history, she only dated men who "pursued her" and "never picked out" a boyfriend herself. She said, "I was like, ‘Oh, my God, I don’t think the girls know this, that we’re not picking our boyfriends.’ She said that to me in my early 20s, and I just always remembered it.”

Now, being single for the first time in her 30s, Paige is taking this advice to heart. But that doesn't mean she's going to follow through with it. She revealed, “I haven’t been single for a summer in a while, but I’m also excited too, because I’ve never been single in my 30s, and I feel like it is just drastically different than your 20s." She then noted that now in her 30s, she won't be out clubbing until the wee hours of the morning. Her mission is different now, “I don’t care if he can go out and stay out and hang out with my friends. I’d actually prefer if he didn’t want to do that. I’m just looking for someone that meshes easily with my life, and being a reality TV person isn’t the easiest thing.” She noted that potential suitors should have a respect and love for reality television, but not necessarily appear on it.

The Paige DeSorbo-Craig Conover split has rattled reality television fans as it's truly been a tale of two stories. While wrapping up Southern Charm, Craig put out his version of the split, contradicting much of what Paige was eventually able to spill once her time came to discuss Summer House. At the root of their relationship, both individuals were on different pages. Between careers, kids, and where they would live, Paige and Craig were unfortunately not meant to spend a life together. They were reality television royalty, and that was it.

Since the split, Paige has focused on herself, inspiring many watching from the wings. Paige recently revealed that her eggs have been frozen. On her podcast, alongside her partner in crime, Hannah Berner, she shared that the doctor was able to retrieve 28 eggs, though only 13 were considered mature. As Paige said, "That's a really good amount of eggs," also understanding she could go through the process again. Her openness to discuss the process goes beyond the story on the reality show.

Additionally, Paige has ensured her business ventures are her focus. Alongside her Giggly Squad identity, she's taken part in brand collaborations, including with Braun and their Smoothskin Collection at Target. With other partnerships with companies like DSW and TREsemmé, the influencer has ensured that she is the breadwinner. She truly is the spokesperson for empowerment.
