1
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 1: I want to talk about being transparent and honest when

2
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: you're in relationship. The reason I say that is everybody

3
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: comes into a relationship with a different background. It could

4
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: be financial, it could be cultural, it could be geographical,

5
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: it could be nature versus nurture, a million different things.

6
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 1: It could be a relationship before, an abusive relationship before,

7
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: or really positive relationship before. But people come into a

8
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: situation and everybody has their own inner monologue and dialogue

9
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,959
Speaker 1: about what they think something should be based on what's

10
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: in their own head. And I've said this to people.

11
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: Also providing context for people that you relate to, even

12
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: at work, you know, you know, romantic relationships, friendships, business relationships.

13
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not going to start getting into that

14
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: you were abused as a child in a business relationship

15
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: per se. But giving context is important. And I said

16
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: this sentence to someone. I said to someone, they're raised

17
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: like a breeder dog with safety security, knowing where the

18
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: meals were going to come from and knowing that they

19
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: weren't going to be abused and they were going to

20
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: be protected. And that I come from a perspective of

21
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: being a rescue dog, a dog that has been in

22
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:41,639
Speaker 1: many different homes and had many different experiences and comes

23
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,279
Speaker 1: in a little cagey doesn't trust that much. Could act

24
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: in a different type of way than somebody else who

25
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: is a breeder dog, because by definition you've had How

26
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: could two people with vastly different experiences react in the

27
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: same way to something. So if you let people know

28
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: where you are, then they'll understand why you act in

29
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: a certain way. And yes, that could apply to business.

30
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: It could be in business that you're explaining to someone

31
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: that you are a very direct person, that you don't

32
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: respond well to beating around the bush or a lot

33
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: of small talk or corporate jargon like that's a way

34
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: of saying something where then in the future they're going

35
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: to know how you might operate or why you might

36
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: act cold or weird or distant or dismissive or something

37
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: like that. And certainly in a relationship, it could be

38
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: like I have the tendency to run, so if you

39
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: run too, this will never happen. And I've been in

40
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: relationships with people who get insecure when I run, and

41
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: then they want to run, and then it's done because

42
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: somebody needs to be the rock, and somebody is going

43
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: to be. You know, if you have two breeder dogs,

44
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: then great. If you have two rescue dogs, that can

45
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: be challenging too. That can be like two different insecurities

46
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: and cagueness and radic or unpredictable or just not traditional.

47
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: I don't like to say irrational but not normally expected behavior,

48
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like things that would seem unexpected.

49
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: So I think it's good to know where people come

50
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: from so you know how to deal with them in

51
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: all situations in life. There's one thing I wanted to

52
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: say about dating. I was on the I was with

53
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: Alex Cooper in the Unwell Tour on stage, and I

54
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: was giving dating advice, and the one thing I forgot

55
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: to mention that I thought was so important in dating

56
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: advice is this, you could really like someone like to

57
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: the point where it gives you the chills. You can't

58
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: even believe how much you like them. You're so into them,

59
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: it's uncomfortable, like you're in Just like in business, you

60
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: could be so into a business deal you could make.

61
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna make millions of dollars. It's gonna be the

62
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: best business deal you're ever in. Right, But if you're

63
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: not getting what you want and need, and it's going

64
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: to like affect you and affect your life. And you're

65
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: settling for less than what you deserve. You're kind of

66
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: cheating yourself. You're selling yourself short. Something is wrong. Your

67
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: gut is telling you something's wrong. You don't like the

68
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: way it makes you feel. You have to be willing

69
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: to walk. You have to be willing to walk, but

70
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: not in a bluff. This used to happen with housewives

71
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: all the time. I watch people say they were gonna walk,

72
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: and then Bravo realized that they weren't really gonna walk,

73
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: and then they called their bluff, and then the person

74
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: has no leverage the next time around.

75
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 2: I've seen this.

76
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: I can name five housewives who've gotten paid so much

77
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: less than they would have and ten times less than

78
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: I got paid because they didn't know what they were doing.

79
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: There's a confidence to that, and it's scary. That's scary

80
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: to be able to say to someone, I'm into you,

81
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: but I'm willing to walk because I won't settle for

82
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: less than what I deserve. And that's business, that's friendships,

83
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: that's all of it, and that is very strong. I've

84
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: done that in friendships too. I've had someone treat me

85
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: in a way that is not appropriate. And I have

86
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: walked and they have come back around and they have

87
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: never made that mistake again. But it's it's scary because

88
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: sometimes you really know you'll really miss that relationship, you

89
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: missed that friendship, you miss that that guy, that girl,

90
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: and you gotta be able to do it. And there's

91
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: something in a relationship to landing vulnerability, confidently being needy

92
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: in a way that is confident, like for me at

93
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: me and saying I need a little love, I need a.

94
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: Little praise right now. I'm a little needy.

95
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: That's way more confident than actually being needy and drippy

96
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: and desperate and thirsty, like the way you frame things,

97
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: you know, the way like saying what you need is confident.

98
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: Begging for scraps and being desperate and waiting around and

99
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: then not getting it and accepting that you didn't get

100
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: it and asking for it again, that's needy. There's a

101
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: very big difference between being like, this is what I need,

102
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: this is what I require, this is what I want,

103
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: and like I said, call the bluff. You gotta be

104
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: willing to walk. Also being able to articulate to someone

105
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,799
Speaker 1: the difference between your wants and your needs, your deal breakers,

106
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: and what you really would like, because if you're in

107
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: a healthy relationship, most people will want to give each

108
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: other what they need and want, and you can't pick

109
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: every single thing. Everything can't be a need. Some things

110
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: are a want and you might not get at all.

111
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: But as one of the dating coaches on here said,

112
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: I really really really validate what he said when he

113
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: said a relationship should not be work, and we got

114
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: to it should be effort. And I was talking to

115
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: someone about this today. It should be intention, but it

116
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: should be desire. You want to work on it, you

117
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: want to get better, but it's not work. And many

118
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: of us have had the same experience where we think

119
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: we're the problem. Somebody's good on paper, somebody seems like

120
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: they're it. Someone you know you're supposed to be feeling

121
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: some way. Why are you being critical of the other person.

122
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: Why don't you want to share with the other person?

123
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: Why are you leaving them out of things? Why do

124
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: you want to do things without them? Why do you

125
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: not feel great when you're around them? Why are you

126
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: kind of excited when they leave? Why are you not

127
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: that excited when you see them? Then you start saying,

128
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: but they're so good, they're so generous, They're this, They're

129
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: what I'm supposed to be wanting. Then you go inside.

130
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: Then you start beating yourself up. Then you start saying

131
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: it must be me. I must be flawed in some way,

132
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: I can't be happy, I can't allow myself to love.

133
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: Then it's another dialogue. If there is a person that

134
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: fits you properly, these things will not exist. You will

135
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: have to have intention, you will have to make an effort,

136
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: but they will not be the feeling of dread and

137
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: negotiating with yourself and torturing yourself and torment yourself and

138
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: tearing yourself apart because you're staying out of fear. Now

139
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: compound that you have kids, you're afraid because of financial reasons,

140
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: or because you've already gotten married, because what's your family

141
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: going to think. I mean, these things are super important

142
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: and also why relationships should not be jumped into. But

143
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: we beat the shit out of ourselves unnecessarily. If you

144
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: eat something and it doesn't agree with you, you just

145
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: you listen to that. You don't start talking about why

146
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: the thing is supposed to Oh, it's supposed to be

147
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: good for me. It's coconut it's got good oil. If

148
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: you don't like it or it doesn't make you feel good,

149
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 1: you don't eat it. You don't care what the fuck anyone.

150
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: Says about it. How good for you it's supposed to be.

151
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 2: You're not eating it. You rejected it, your body rejected.

152
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: It. Doesn't mean you're psychologically unfit. Doesn't mean you can't

153
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: I something's wrong with you. It means it's not right

154
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: for you. So we have to get more clear with

155
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: that stuff, because I feel like we torture ourselves and

156
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: spend so much unnecessary time doing that. In addition to

157
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: the wants and needs. It's like related, but it's like

158
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: what's your thing? What's your thing? The dating coach said.

159
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: Men want to be acknowledged. I think it was admired

160
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: and appreciated. Women want to feel safe, heard and understood.

161
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: For me, it's safe. I've heard men say to me loved,

162
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: you know, loved. So whatever it is, you listen to

163
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: the other person and you make sure that you give

164
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: that to them because some people could say it in

165
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: that one moment, but not in the day to day,

166
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: and not everyone needs to express themselves verbally. Do you

167
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: ever notice there's some people that express themselves nonverbally. It's

168
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: their actions, it's the way they do it, it's the

169
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: way they make you feel.

170
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: They don't.

171
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: Everyone doesn't need to be emoting at all times, and

172
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: sometimes because of our previous experiences, we actually can't trust ourselves.

173
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: We do have good gut instincts, but sometimes we go

174
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: back for the thing that's not good for us, and

175
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: we have to break the chain ourselves in relationships, but

176
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: not the pendulum, not where you're just going to the

177
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: opposite of what you did before, which could be boring

178
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: or dangerous for you, but basically realizing if I walk

179
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: into a casino, I might not be able to be trusted.

180
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna gamble. If I go into a bakery, I'm

181
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: gonna want all the sugar. I'm not good in that environment.

182
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: Knowing you know, if I see a hot guy that

183
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 1: looks like a bad boy, that's what I'm going for.

184
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: Or I tend to go with somebod who's gonna treat

185
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: me like shit but is great in bed or whatever

186
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: it is. We have to acknowledge who we are and

187
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: what our behaviors are and why why we attract that

188
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: and become your best self before you get ready to

189
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: be dating. That's the hardest part. People want to jump in.

190
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: They want to they want to fix it with the

191
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: band aid. You want to feel better, you want to

192
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: go on a date. You want to meet somebody, You

193
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: want to be in a relationship. You want somebody for

194
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: the holidays, you want somebody for New Year's Eve. You

195
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: want to feel part of something. You don't want to

196
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: feel alone. You don't want to go to the wedding alone.

197
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: You don't want to be the loser. Then you jump

198
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: in something that's wrong for you, and you're wasting time

199
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: not finding the right person, and you have never done

200
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: the work. So even if you found the right p person,

201
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be ready because you're still a train wreck

202
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: because you were so afraid. You never did the work,

203
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: and you when you start a relationship, that bar better

204
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: be really high.

205
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 2: It will only go down no matter what.

206
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: You have a new car, it will not smell like

207
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: a new car in six months, maybe a faint. So

208
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: you better raise that bar high in the beginning. Don't

209
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: start settling from the jump now. Listen, there is a

210
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: time in the beginning you meet someone, it's not going

211
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: to be off to the racist perfection you've got to

212
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: sniff each other out. You've got to get each other's patterns, wants, needs, likes, loves, sex,

213
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: Communicate about sex not in the bedroom, outside of the bedroom.

214
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: What does someone like? What does someone not like? What

215
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: about you know, personal styles? What about cadence? What about

216
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: how much? What about how intense? What about how it

217
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: makes you feel? What about your past sexual experiences? What

218
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: about your trust issues as it pertains to sex. I mean,

219
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: sex is a massive topic, but overall, you set the

220
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: bar high and you train the dog in the beginning,

221
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: and I don't mean the man as a dog or

222
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: the woman's a dog. People need to be trained in

223
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: the beginning. This is where the wee wee pat is.

224
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: This is where it is, so we don't have any confusion.

225
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 2: Later. We may all have some accidents along the way.

226
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: That's normal.

227
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: But we're not going to start this thing by dumbing

228
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: it down, because then it'll be in a shambles and

229
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: all the cracks become craters. So beware of the cracks,

230
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: beware of the pink flags. Critical periods to look out for.

231
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: I believe our six weeks, what are we doing? Do

232
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: we actually like each other? Is there a connection are

233
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: we continuing on to the next gauntlet, which is three months?

234
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: Three months is are we in a relationship? Are we

235
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: doing this at some point? Will I meet your family?

236
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: Will you meet my friends? Will I meet your kids?

237
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: Will we say I love you?

238
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 2: Like?

239
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: Three months is critical and then we're off to the races.

240
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: Then you get to six months and a year and

241
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: the rest is history. But three months, to me, would

242
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: be the most critical part in any relationship. It's when

243
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: you decide what the real intention is of the entire relationship.

244
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: I stand by what the experts say about texting. Control yourself.

245
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying to myself as well. Do not communicate anything

246
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: important via text. Now this means, you know, reprimanding someone,

247
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: scolding someone, giving some notes, saying something you don't like,

248
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: saying something you do like, saying how you really deeply

249
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,479
Speaker 1: feel about someone. Like real feelings should not be communicated

250
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: by text. Now there's a gray area because it could

251
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: be I miss you, that's a real feeling, but that's

252
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: like a small statement or XO, or I can't wait

253
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: to see you, or you make me feel great, or

254
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: you're making me happy, or look at I mean, once

255
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: in a while, there's an exception, but overall, you should

256
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: not be getting into broad stroke topics, negotiating something, talking

257
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: about how something makes you feel, how something didn't make

258
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: you feel like, wish you didn't do that?

259
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 2: Can you not do like?

260
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: No arguing, No real meat should be happening on texting,

261
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: And it's a discipline because you can't always get someone

262
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: on the phone and people work, And I would say

263
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: if you're in something, FaceTime is important too if you're

264
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: not with the person, particularly if you're long distance, but

265
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: if you're not gonna be with the person all the time,

266
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: someone's facetiming tour from work. It is remarkable what it

267
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: means to see someone's face compared to just being on

268
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: the phone. Let's take this down. Seeing someone's face is

269
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: a whole different ball game than being on the phone.

270
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: But being on the phone is a whole different ball

271
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: game than texting, which is pathetic and sad because being

272
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: on the phone can be really disconnected, it really can.

273
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: But texting, it's a fucking joke. Texting is like eating

274
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: a bag of Cheetos and wanting it to feel like

275
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: you had like brown rice, chicken, breast, and broccolini, Like

276
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: it's garbage food. It's junk food. It's never gonna it's

277
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: not gonna do it. It's just it's like a tool

278
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: that we overuse. Texting technically should be like I'm in

279
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: the corner booth and a red shirt. It shouldn't even

280
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: be as much as we use it for. But we

281
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: use it as a crutch, as a tool, and you know,

282
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: it's a necessary evil. One of the tricky things in

283
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: dating is talking about x's it really really is. We

284
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: say we're never going to do it, we do it

285
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: not because like, oh I miss Joe. It's a reference point.

286
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: You want to compliment the person you're with me like

287
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: I'm not used to this, you know, and sometimes it

288
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: does feel good.

289
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 2: I don't mind it.

290
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: I don't mind it if someone says something about their

291
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: ex as it pertains to us and why this is different.

292
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's sometimes informative. If the blast person used

293
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: to do something that really bothered you or made you

294
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: feel unsafe, you might have to discuss it with the

295
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: current person because that is institutional knowledge. Talking about how

296
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: you still miss the person or how you broke up

297
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: or when Joe and I used to go to do this.

298
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: That is not a good idea. Joe bought me flowers

299
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: and you don't. That is not a good idea. But

300
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm used to a different dynamic with Joe where I

301
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: feel guilty about doing this. You know that might make

302
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: someone feel good that you're validating. Oh what's going on?

303
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: And again, as some of the matchmaker is only one

304
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: of the dating coaches has expressed the male dating coach,

305
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: the game moves fast when you're dating.

306
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: We have all these plans.

307
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,000
