What did she have you do? 20 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: What was the things that she said not to do? 21 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: But I've never heard of an actual, like men man 22 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: targeted dating coach. But I love how you're right in 23 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: the thing it said, Chances are you struggle in this area. 24 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: You see women you want to talk to you, but 25 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: anxiety and self doubt hold you back. Or maybe you 26 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: do meet attractive women but they'll either reject you or 27 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: banish you to the friend zone and you say I've 28 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: been there. Hell, I owned a condo there, And that 29 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: was like he's like, oh oh no, I was like, 30 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: he's been friend zone. 31 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 3: I was a friend zone olive arch. I was there. 32 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 3: I own the whole city absolutely. 33 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: So what was the like, why did you think you 34 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: stay that? Did you not feel like you had the 35 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: confidence to break out from the is that where that 36 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: the first piece kind of lacks for men in those 37 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: situations where they're just like, okay, I know I can 38 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: at least be a friend, so this is comfortable here, 39 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: let me just stay here. 40 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 3: Yes. So many men are afraid to take a romantic 41 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 3: risk and to have their authentic self rejected. So a 42 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 3: lot of men get in the friends zone, not because 43 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,279 Speaker 3: they're not great attractive men with a lot to offer, 44 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 3: but because they're afraid to sort of put a card 45 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 3: or two on the table and say hey, I like you, 46 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 3: I want to take you on a date. Instead, they 47 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 3: play it safe. They act like they're your friend, just 48 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,119 Speaker 3: your friend or your buddy, as opposed to saying, hey, 49 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 3: I think I might have a crush on you. You're 50 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 3: totally my type. Would you like to maybe go out 51 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 3: some time and grab a drink? Wind down? And a 52 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 3: lot of guys are just afraid that that kind of 53 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 3: vulnerability will get rejected. But it's actually that kind of 54 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 3: vulnerability that is the gateway to a real genuine connection. 55 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: Right And I'm listening to that and like my almost 56 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: rejection goes, Oh my gosh. But then to say that 57 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: and then you get rejected, What a crappy feeling that 58 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: is too. So how do you kind of coach your 59 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: people to go You might get rejected, you might not, 60 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: And what do you do with both those pieces? 61 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 3: I don't think in the courtship part of dating, I 62 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 3: don't believe rejection exists. It's not rejection. I look at 63 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 3: it as information. Not everybody is going to be my 64 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 3: type or your type. Some people like the Beatles, some 65 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 3: people love the Stones, And if they're like, hey, I'm 66 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 3: going to listen to the Stones and not the Beatles, 67 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 3: the Beatles are still the greatest band ever in my opinion. So, 68 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 3: in dating, if a man walks up to a woman 69 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 3: at a bar and he shoots a shot, he lets 70 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 3: her know he's interested and wants to talk to her. 71 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 3: If she pushes back and says, hey, I'm not really interested, 72 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 3: what I want him to know is there's it's not 73 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 3: really rejection. She doesn't know you well enough to reject you. Now, 74 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 3: if your partner of five years wakes up one day 75 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 3: and says, hey, you know what, I'm not in love 76 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 3: with you anymore and I'm going to leave you for Fabio, Okay. 77 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: That is rejecting Fabio Fabi, thank you, Okay. 78 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 3: It's my my Ohio accents coming to Michigan. 79 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: So that's why I know it sounds like he's that's 80 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: That was my next question. Are you from Michigan? 81 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 2: But Ohio? That yeah, Ohio, Yeah yeah. 82 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 3: So I tell my guys, hey, it's not rejection. She 83 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: doesn't even know you. Even if you have a date, 84 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 3: you might find out you two don't fit as people. 85 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: You might want different things. But the biggest mistake that 86 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 3: men make that creates the fear of rejection is giving 87 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 3: to giving into the story that if a woman doesn't 88 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 3: want to date me. That means I'm not enough, That 89 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 3: means I don't have worth, and quite the opposite. I think, 90 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 3: as long as you take a good, empathetic, authentic action 91 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 3: and take a shot at love, what's more attractive and 92 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 3: more worthwhile to a single man than that. I think 93 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 3: it's the actions you take that actually help make you 94 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 3: a man of value, as opposed to whether or not 95 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 3: somebody gives you that validation. It's nice to have a wonderful, 96 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 3: incredible woman say yeah, let's go out, But I don't 97 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 3: want a guy to feel like he needs that to 98 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 3: feel happy from the inside. 99 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 2: Absolutely Okay. So, as a. 100 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: Man or men at data coach, a male dating coach, 101 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: what is one of the red flags that you tell 102 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: your clients that a woman might do if you're dating, 103 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: like dating, and you're like, hey, kind of watch out 104 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: for this. 105 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 3: Red flags that a woman might do. If this is 106 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 3: not a personality trait red flag, this is a flirting 107 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 3: roadblock to watch out for a lot of women I 108 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 3: found love to talk about dating on a date. Really 109 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 3: they like to talk about the topic itself. Okay, and 110 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 3: that is a very seductive topic to talk about. But 111 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 3: if you talk about dating too much on a date, 112 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 3: whether it's past relationships or the whole what do you want, 113 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 3: what do I want? What do you want? Conversation? I 114 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,239 Speaker 3: tell guys beware of getting sucked into that conversation loop 115 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 3: because that doesn't help you to connect as people. It's 116 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 3: kind of like talking about why a joke is funny. 117 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 3: If you talk about the joke too much, if you 118 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 3: dissect the frog, you kill the frog. If you talk 119 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 3: about dating too much on a date, then you're probably 120 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 3: going to kill the connection or at least stifle the 121 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 3: potential romantic sparks the two of you might have. So 122 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 3: that's a flirting red flag that I help my guys avoid. 123 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 3: We don't want to talk too much about dating on 124 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 3: dates because you should be talking about the two of 125 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 3: you and finding out how your personalities dovetail. 126 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: That makes sense. 127 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: I guess I would probably be annoyed if a dude, 128 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: or and vice versa, if a guy just heard when 129 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: I was dating and just about all the people that 130 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: we were either a going on dates with. But I 131 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: will say is it okay too? Because there's definitely things 132 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: that I would say, like this is what I don't 133 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: want again? 134 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 3: Yeah? 135 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: Is that okay when you go out. 136 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 3: I'm not saying a guy should just shut a woman 137 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 3: down when the topic comes up, not at all, especially me. 138 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 3: So I met my partner Jess while I was out dating. Obviously, 139 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 3: and as a dating coach, it's normal to talk the 140 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 3: most normal thing in the world to talk about dating, 141 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 3: So it's totally fine to talk about it for a 142 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 3: little while. But I just wouldn't go down that rabbit 143 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 3: hole too much on first dates. It's better to talk 144 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 3: about TV shows, movies, your family. 145 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 2: See that stuff. 146 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: Is that that sounds just so just not meaty enough, 147 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: like that would be I feel like that would not 148 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: grip me enough. Like I want to know someone's traumas, 149 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: and they're like. 150 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: What I don't know? Is that like a bad thing? 151 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: Like I don't know, I just because I'm like, I 152 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: don't really care what your favorite color is.

And if 174 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: someone's like, well, I haven't really done anything, then I'm. 175 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 2: Like you're done, you're out, you're lying. 176 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. 177 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 2: I was like, we've all. 178 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: Done that, we are not proud of so, and we've 179 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: learned lessons from it.

One of 187 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 3: my I told this for you many times I had. 188 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 3: My one marriage was an nine week marriage. 189 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: Oh I've had one. I've had one of those. 190 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 3: Can you beat me because it wasn't nine weeks? Or 191 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 3: was it more or less? 192 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 2: It was one week? 193 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 3: Oh? Okay, you just you just beat my record. 194 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: But tell me about your nine week I'm so intrigued. 195 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: I thought I was the only crazy one with. 196 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 3: That one week. Wow, I feel humbled now I got up. 197 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 2: So tell me about that. How long were you with 198 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 2: the person? 199 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 3: And then let me make a note, get married for 200 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 3: two days this weekend, I'm married. I married my grad 201 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 3: school and then beyond grad school sweetheart after. 202 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 2: Like Sarah exactly. She seems like a Sarah from Ohio, 203 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 2: just really sweet. We probably broke her heart. 204 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 3: She was actually one of one of a couple different 205 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 3: chrises I dated. 206 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 2: Okay, there we go, Yeah. 207 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 3: And the nine week marriage was was both of it was? 208 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 3: It was on both of us. Neither of us wanted 209 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 3: to get married. She was on this track of being 210 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 3: in a relationship and getting married. I was so riddled 211 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,359 Speaker 3: with self doubt and I thought I was so unattractive 212 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 3: to women. I thought, well, she's the one woman who 213 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 3: seems to want to be with me. I guess I'll 214 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 3: get married because if I don't, I'll end up alone 215 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 3: or having to settle. And so I said, well, I 216 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 3: may as well get married to her. We had this 217 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 3: big Catholic wedding, and she left me or said hey, 218 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 3: this was a mistake exactly nine weeks later. The joke 219 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 3: I made at the time was the marriage was over 220 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 3: so fast that we fought for custody of the wedding cake. 221 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 3: Not as fast as yours, but really fast. But did you. 222 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: Feel that same thing? Though I know you now go, yeah, okay, 223 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: you were young, you didn't feel But in that moment, 224 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: did you feel rejection or did you feel like, yeah, 225 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: I agree with Chris or whatever? 226 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 3: I guess At the time, I didn't agree because I 227 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 3: was so caught up in my own issues of well, 228 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 3: she's my only option. If she leaves me, then I'm alone. 229 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 3: So I tried to quote unquote fight for it. About 230 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 3: three actually, about a month later, as I'm driving back 231 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 3: to my graduate school, I felt this giant weight had 232 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 3: been lifted. And that's when I realized, oh, she did, 233 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 3: we did the right thing. Thank god she instigated it. 234 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 3: If it wasn't for her, we might have been married 235 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 3: for years in a marriage that should not have really 236 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 3: ever happened. So I'm so thankful to her for having 237 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 3: the strength to say, hey, we made a mistake. Let's 238 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 3: call a nine week mulligan here. 239 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, and now Jess that you've how long you've been 240 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 2: with her for? 241 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 3: Are we been together for almost two years? 242 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 2: Well? 243 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: Do you think she would say, was your biggest when 244 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: you guys started dating? Your biggest turn off? Maybe to 245 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: her if you're cause if you're a coach, you know, 246 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 1: I'm like, we don't those big so therapists we think 247 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 1: they have it all figured out, but usually there's something 248 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: that they do like, they don't do it perfectly right. 249 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: So what did you kind of if you could go 250 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: back into that dating situation with the Jess and go, oh, 251 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: I wish I would have done this? Or did you 252 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: just do it to a t like you tell your clients. 253 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 3: Well, the biggest thing about me that bothered her was 254 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 3: when she saw my apartment, she said, are you ever 255 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 3: going to finish decorating your apartment. I didn't have blinds up, 256 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 3: I had almost no furniture, and I thought, oh, that's fine. 257 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 3: I'm a dude. So that's actually the biggest problem she 258 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 3: ever vocally told me she had with me in terms 259 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 3: of our actual relationship. Knock on wood. She hasn't said 260 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 3: there are any giant yellow flags or red flags other 261 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 3: than maybe the lack of kitchen where I still need 262 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 3: to buy. So I have a lot of those guide traits. 263 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 3: But that's the main thing, the big, the big. I 264 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 3: actually did have a dating epiphany, okay while I was 265 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 3: While I was, while she and I were first dating, 266 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 3: I think there's only four or five core ways that 267 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 3: all people flirt.

Some people just love verbal banter, puns, 282 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 3: teasing each other.

And I realized we just loved to banter. 287 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 3: She even texted me, I'm sitting in the bar for 288 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 3: our first date.

Have you ever had a date where on 299 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 3: paper you thought he was amazing, but you just couldn't click, 300 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 3: You couldn't make a click yep. 301 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: And that's something really interesting too, because I can tend 302 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: to be a little much and not aggressive, but I'm sarcastic. 303 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: And then again even sometimes with my questions, I can 304 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: come off probably a little too much, a little too soon. 305 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: So if that other person doesn't have that same kind 306 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: of energy, that also is like whoa or or my 307 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: sarcasm like no, I'm joking, I'm from Michigan.

Flirting language is a verbal banter, that 326 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 3: verbal sparring, which makes total sense.

Most men can't flirt at all. 342 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 3: They just they don't even know anything about flirting, let alone. 343 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 2: I do not.

But you probably men who are more on points. 349 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: I think they're just more calculated. They can be a 350 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: little I don't I don't flirt, and I'm like, yeah 351 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: you do. 352 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. But one of the back to the friend 353 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 3: zone issue that a lot of men struggle with a 354 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 3: lot of times, a guy goes on a date with 355 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,479 Speaker 3: a woman and he's really excited about dating, or the 356 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 3: conversation is fine, there's no awkward pauses. He thinks it 357 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,719 Speaker 3: goes well. Then the next day he nervously checks his 358 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 3: phone and gets that dreaded Hey, Jerry, it was great 359 00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 3: meeting you. You seem like a nice guy, but just 360 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 3: didn't feel a connection. And often that's because she was 361 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 3: on one flirting frequency, he was on another, or not 362 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 3: on any of them, and she just didn't feel what 363 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 3: she wanted to feel in a potential partner. So what 364 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 3: I want to do is help men and women in 365 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 3: my second book be able to just know, Hey, here's 366 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 3: how I flirt, here's my strength, and here's how I 367 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 3: figure out what the other person's flirting languages, so I 368 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 3: can get us together on the same page to see 369 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 3: if we really want to make love. 370 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 2: That's cool. I like that. 371 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: I think that's going to do really well. I mean 372 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: because that makes sense. I've never even thought about it 373 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: that way with comparing to the love languages, So I 374 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: think that's really cool. 375 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 3: Thank you. 376 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 1: For the girls that are listening to and they have 377 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: that friend zone guy right pay. Let's say one scenario 378 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: is they obviously they know that they prob that one 379 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 1: friend zone guy probably wants more. What is the nice 380 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: way to break it to them without just breaking their 381 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: hearts options. That's one scenario, And the other scenarios is 382 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: what if this girl too wants more and she's afraid 383 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: to ask for more because he's not asking, and so 384 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: they're both stuck in just this like maybe friends with 385 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: benefits or they're just in that okay, both of us 386 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 1: are not saying something so does she make the first move? 387 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: Do you wait for the guy, like will the guy 388 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: come around? Or what do you do when you're both 389 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: kind of in that I don't know friend zone but 390 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: want more. 391 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,479 Speaker 3: If it's the first scenario where she just isn't feeling it, 392 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 3: then I think the kindest way to let somebody down 393 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 3: is to shut the door firmly but gently, so she 394 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 3: might say something like, it's OK. And here's the thing 395 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 3: that really hurts when somebody turns you down. It's misinterpreting 396 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 3: that turning down as you're not a tract. If you're 397 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 3: not worthy of somebody like me, that is the that's 398 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 3: really the big bad wolf. Everybody on some level fears, 399 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 3: Oh am I enough? Am I attractive? Do I have worth? 400 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 3: Am I good enough? 401 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 2: For love? 402 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 3: So if you're gonna if you have to let somebody down, 403 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 3: you could basically say it's sort of like, uh, give 404 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 3: it a little sugar, Say hey, I've enjoyed going on 405 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 3: these one or two dates with you. You're clearly a fantastic guy. However, 406 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 3: I just I'm just not feeling the connection that I 407 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 3: need to feel in the chemistry. But I know you're 408 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 3: gonna find somebody amazing who's as great as you? And 409 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 3: I think we should call it here. And that pushback 410 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 3: or that you know, letting them down easy, makes it 411 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 3: not about hey, you're not good enough for me. It 412 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 3: just makes it like it's a chemistry issue, which it 413 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 3: might actually be. So it still might sting, but that's 414 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 3: a gentle way to do it. Now in terms of 415 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 3: a woman who is just not getting what she wants 416 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 3: from a guy, like, can you give me a hypothetical 417 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 3: just so I can answer you as best I can. 418 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: So a girl friend of mine has someone they're like 419 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: a friends with benefits, but they're friends, like I said, 420 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: with benefits, but I think she wants more. She doesn't 421 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: know if he wants more. So what if that it's 422 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 1: set in between gray, like does she say something or 423 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: does she wait for the guy? 424 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 3: She he's prettying he's putting her in a tough position 425 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 3: where she basically has to come come forward and put 426 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 3: a card on the table and say hey, I would 427 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 3: basically tell him what she wants, Hey, I would like 428 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 3: to see you this often, or I'm looking for a relationship. 429 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 3: Do you see this going to that place? And it 430 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 3: would be nice if he had taken that lead or 431 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 3: was taking that lead. But he's not. Okay, he's a guy, 432 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 3: he's clueless in some ways. He also might just he 433 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 3: might also just be enjoying the casualness of it. The 434 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 3: no string's a aspect. So yes, I would have her 435 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 3: go to him and she can texted him where she 436 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 3: can say in person whatever she wants. And I just 437 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 3: think there's nothing more powerful than a person with good 438 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 3: intentions saying here's what I want. I want this, and 439 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 3: I want it in a way that's win win for 440 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 3: both of us. Do you want the same thing? It's vulnerable, 441 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 3: it's scary, but it might be necessary in her case, 442 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 3: especially if the pattern has been set of casual situationship. 443 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: Be sure, and it might be a case where he 444 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: doesn't know maybe friends, but I guess friend zone is 445 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: no sex. But yeah, yeah, he's out of the friend zone. 446 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 3: She she wants him in the relationship zone. 447 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. 448 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day to what 449 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: we have to all know is that everyone gets rejected, right, 450 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: So it's like I've rejected people. I've been rejected, So 451 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: I think it's it's not what you said too, It's 452 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: it's not even about rejection. It's about Okay, this just 453 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: didn't work and we tried it, and but not to 454 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: take it on as I'm not good enough, because you are. 455 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: It's just that, right, You just weren't for that person, 456 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: and that person wasn't really for you, so they did 457 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: you a favor in the end too. 458 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 3: Yeah. I haven't advanced how to make him your boyfriend tip? 459 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay, just popped in your mind. 460 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 3: Right, this is more show not tell, So tell is Hey, 461 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 3: this is what I want? What do you want? And 462 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 3: logical is good for men because men are logical robots, 463 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,479 Speaker 3: but I show can be really powerful as well. So 464 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 3: instead of telling him what you want, you can show 465 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 3: him by inviting him to do boyfriend girlfriend activities with you, 466 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 3: so getting out of the dating or the just sex 467 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 3: mindset or I should say dating pattern.
