1 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: So I've been giving a lot of dating advice lately, 2 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: which people are devouring like a viral Hailly Bieber smoothie 3 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: from Airwan. So basically, I have many different opinions and 4 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: philosophies on dating, as I've shared with you, and I am. 5 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 2: A seasoned expert dater. 6 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,279 Speaker 1: So one of the things that is important is that 7 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: when you start dating, you treat it like it's a 8 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: Viking stove with multiple burners. 9 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 2: This I call the burner method. 10 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: So what this means is you have multiple options going 11 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: at the same time at different heats. Something you can 12 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: be very into, you just matched with someone, You just 13 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: someone you're into it that's on boil. 14 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 2: Someone that you. 15 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: Like you're not sure, you haven't heard from them in 16 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: a minute, but they're in the mix. 17 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 2: They're on simmer. 18 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,839 Speaker 1: Somebody who turns you off, is cheap, is unattractive, there's 19 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: a red flag. They come off the stove completely. So 20 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: you're moving things around, and what that does is that 21 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: if you really like someone, you're not going to be 22 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: so thirsty and so energetically desperate because you've got multiple 23 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: burners going. So it just energetically keeps your attention in 24 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: many places, think about it. You always get a job 25 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,199 Speaker 1: when you have many jobs. You never get a job 26 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,919 Speaker 1: when you have no job. That's when you're desperate scared. 27 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: Money never wins. 28 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: You're going into the casino needing to make money and 29 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,279 Speaker 1: you lose. Dating is the same. If you've got game, 30 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: you've got game, and it just is an energetic law 31 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: of attraction. 32 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: So now you get full. 33 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: Now you've been scrolling, now you've been dating, You've got 34 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: a bunch of burners, and they all tastes like shit, 35 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: nothing's exciting you. That's when you start to pull one 36 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: off at a time, and whatever you've learned during that 37 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: experience informs what you're going to do in the future. 38 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: Meaning you may say, I'm not hungry for a while, 39 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: I don't want to cook for a while. As long 40 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 1: as you're comfortable being alone, which is the ultimate key 41 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: to meeting someone. The ultimate key to meeting someone is 42 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: being alone and being comfortable with it. Not being alone 43 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: and crying about it on social media and eating ice cream. 44 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: Being alone and confident about it. You are happy, You 45 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: are a whole. No man completes you. I heard recently 46 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: that Jennifer Lopez went out to dinner by herself. And 47 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: that's wonderful, and it's great to be able to go 48 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: out to dinner alone, but someone needs to actually be 49 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: happy being alone to be in a healthy relationship with 50 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: someone else, because you are a fully formed human being, 51 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: now you are ready. 52 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 2: To be a good match. 53 00:02:52,880 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: And it's also important when doing the Burner method to 54 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: treat every person very well. 55 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: Be respectful, be kind, be. 56 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: Open, because you're learning, even if it's something you don't like, 57 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: you can become friends with this person. They could be 58 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: someone you know. It's a big pictured discussion, it's chestnut checkers. 59 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: And one big thing I've learned is that you should 60 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: take responsibility for how someone else feels. So let me 61 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: give you an example. A guy really likes you. You 62 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: know how much he likes you. He sends you flowers, 63 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: he tells you how much heat thinks about you. He's 64 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: into you. You've told him that you are not that 65 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: into him, or that you don't want something right now, 66 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: or it's just not it's not him, it's you, whatever, 67 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: But the guy still hasn't hurt the message, and he's 68 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: coming in hot, right He's coming in hot. You can't 69 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: just let him keep doing nice things for you. And 70 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: keep him in the friend zone because he will eventually 71 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: resent that, and you know how. 72 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 2: He feels about you. 73 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: So it's your responsibility as a good human and good 74 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: karm to take responsibility for his feelings. Also because often 75 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: we say, well, I told him, he knows we're just friends, 76 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: or he knows I'm out into him, or he knows 77 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: I don't want this. It's not emotionally responsible to know 78 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: that someone else is very into you and to kind 79 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: of toy with that exploit that just the person might 80 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: not be strong enough to stay away from you. I've 81 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: been through this so many times, and you have to 82 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: be strong enough to stay away from them. Even though 83 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: they are a comfort zone. They're easy, they're your safety school. 84 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: The biggest thing is that if you're in the wrong 85 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: thing or the wrong things for too long, meaning the 86 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: burner methods good, but it's not sustainable. I mean, you 87 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: can have stamina and have people in and out, but 88 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: you need to be able to focus when something's good, 89 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: and if you spend too much time with the wrong thing, you. 90 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 2: Get in the comfort zone. 91 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: The guy who kind of really likes you and you 92 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: know is the friend zone guy that maybe with benefits 93 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: those nights that you're with that person are making you 94 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: feel like you don't need to be out there or 95 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: be working on yourself or be open to when the 96 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: right person comes. So if you stay with the wrong 97 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: person too long, or spend time with even the wrong 98 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: person for too long, you will not see when the 99 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: right person comes. So make sure that that is really 100 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: a priority for you. Don't be with someone just to 101 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: fill a seat, scare Money never wins, so you have 102 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: to be It's back to being alone. You have to 103 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: be comfortable being alone, and then you're not going to 104 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: be so desperate that because you have a guy who's 105 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: willing to hang out with you. The worst thing ever 106 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: said was if you can't be with the one you love, 107 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: love the one that you're with. That's the most stupid 108 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: thing that anyone's ever said, because it's not true. 109 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 2: It's not true at all. 110 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: You're not supposed to be with like filler, good enough 111 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: isn't good enough in business or in relationships. 112 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,679 Speaker 2: So work a quality versus quantity model. 113 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: You can go through different iterations to get there, but 114 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: ultimately I would rather not eat than eat something shitty, 115 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,239 Speaker 1: So I would rather not date then date someone shitty. 116 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 2: That's just me. It's really hard. 117 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: To say no, and it's a discipline and no one 118 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: else can do it for you. And when you're in 119 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: demand and people want you to do a bunch of 120 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: different things, you have to just really try to look 121 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: at the chess board and find a way to say no. 122 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: I had a big TV appearance that a week and 123 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: a half before it, I canceled why because I was 124 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: feeling stripped and I was looking at the board and 125 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: knowing myself. I knew that I would end up presenting 126 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: it and then I would end up doing it half asked, 127 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: and then I would end up feeling resentful about doing 128 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: other things because it's Domino's so if you can't do 129 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: one thing, if one thing falls, then everything's going to fall. 130 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: And sometimes we just get overloaded. And this was a 131 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: thing that would have been a good appearance, but I 132 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: just knew that I'm starting to feel stripped, and you 133 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: got to think about what you want. I want to 134 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: spend time with my daughter. I want to be present. 135 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: You can't do everything, And now that I've become more 136 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: and more successful, the less that I do, the more 137 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: opportunities that come in. Because I'm being truthful and honest, 138 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: and because when I do something, I give it my own. 139 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: I did a Lifetime movie, and to be perfectly honest, 140 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: I did for a lot less money than I do 141 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: anything else, for a lot more time. I went to 142 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: Canada for twelve days and was paid what I would 143 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: be paid probably to do something else for one day. 144 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: And I make a lot of money. And that's all 145 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: very warped and skewed, but not everything's about money. I 146 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: did that because I thought it was an opportunity. It 147 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: was a new space, it was a new sphere. It 148 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: was stretching me. Can I be an actress? Can I 149 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: do a good job? And I did that because I've said, 150 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: notice so many other things, whether lucrative or not, that 151 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: I don't really want to do. So then when I 152 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: want to do something, I'm able to put my all 153 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: into it, Meaning this was an opportunity that wasn't about money. 154 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. I got paid well. They paid 155 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: me well, all due respect to Lifetime. I just make 156 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: a lot of money doing a lot of things, so 157 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: they paid me really well. But I did that because 158 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,559 Speaker 1: of a passion. I wanted to try something. I wanted 159 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: to test myself. I wanted to push myself, and I've 160 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: said no to a lot of other things, so I 161 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: can have the luxury of saying yes to that. That 162 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: actually applies to dating too. If you start just dating 163 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: crappy and filler, then when something good comes along, you'll 164 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: be busy, you'll be somewhere, you won't be present and available. 165 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: Don't be afraid to just be present and sit in 166 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: your own skin when something doesn't feel right. So the 167 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: bottom line is quality versus quantity and having boundaries in 168 00:08:40,840 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 1: your life and saying no means saying yes. Want to 169 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: back to become of them
