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

2
00:00:16,600 --> 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
00:00:26,079 --> 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 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: It can be a relationship before, an abusive relationship before,

7
00:00:39,600 --> 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 --> 00:00:58,440
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 --> 00:01:10,240
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 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: this sentence to someone. I said to someone, they're raised

17
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,720
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
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: be protected. And that I come from a perspective of

21
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,080
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 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: in a little cagey doesn't trust that much. Could act

24
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: in a different type of way than somebody else who

25
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: is a breeder dog, because by definition you've had How

26
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: could two people with vastly different experiences react in the

27
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: same way. So if you let people know where you are,

28
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: then they'll understand why you act in a certain way.

29
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: And yes, that could apply to business. It could be

30
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: in business that you're explaining to someone that you are

31
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: a very direct person, that you don't respond well to

32
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 1: beating around the bush or a lot of small talk

33
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: or corporate jargon like that's a way of saying something

34
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: where then in the future they're going to know how

35
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: you might operate or why you might act cold or

36
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: weird or distant or dismissive or something like that. And

37
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: certainly in a relationship, it could be like I have

38
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: the tendency to run, so if you run too, this

39
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: will never happen. And I've been in relationships with people

40
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: who get insecure when I run, and then they want

41
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: to run, and then it's done because somebody needs to

42
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: be the rock, and somebody is going to be. You know,

43
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: if you have two breeder dogs, then great. If you

44
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: have two rescue dogs that can be challenging too. That

45
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: can be like two different insecurities and cagueness and radic

46
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: or unpredictable or just not traditional. I don't like to

47
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: say irrational but not normally expected behavior, you know what

48
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: I mean, like things that would seem unexpected. So I

49
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: think it's good to know where people come from so

50
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: you know how to deal with them in all situations

51
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: in life. There's one thing I wanted to say about dating.

52
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: I was on the I was with Alex Cooper in

53
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: the Unwell Tour on stage, and I was giving dating advice,

54
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: and the one thing I forgot to mention that I

55
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: thought was so important in dating advice is this, you

56
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: could really like someone like to the point where it

57
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: gives you the chills. You can't even believe how much

58
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: you like them. You're so into them, it's uncomfortable, like

59
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: you're in Just like in business, you could be so

60
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: into a business deal you could make. You're gonna make

61
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: millions of dollars. It's gonna be the best business deal

62
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: you're ever in. Right, But if you're not getting what

63
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: you want and need, and it's going to like affect

64
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: you and affect your life. And you're settling for less

65
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: than what you deserve. You're kind of cheating yourself. You're

66
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: selling yourself short. Something is wrong. Your gut is telling

67
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: you something's wrong. You don't like the way it makes

68
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: you feel. You have to be willing to walk. You

69
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: have to be willing to walk, but not in a bluff.

70
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: This used to happen with housewives all the time. I

71
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: watch people say they were gonna walk, and then Bravo

72
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: realized that they weren't really gonna walk, and then they

73
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: called their bluff, and then the person has no leverage

74
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: the next time around. I've seen this. I can name

75
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: five housewives who've gotten paid so much less than they

76
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: would have and ten times less than I got paid

77
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: because they didn't know what they were doing. There's a

78
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: confidence to that, and it's scary. That's scary to be

79
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: able to say to someone, I'm into you, but I'm

80
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: willing to walk because I won't settle for less than

81
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: what I deserve. And that's business, that's friendships, that's all

82
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: of it, and that is very strong. I've done that

83
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: in friendships too. I've had someone treat me in a

84
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: way that is not appropriate. And I have walked and

85
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: they have come back around and they have never made

86
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: that mistake again. But it's it's scary because sometimes you

87
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: really know you'll really miss that relationship, you missed that friendship,

88
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: you will miss that that guy, that girl, and you

89
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: gotta be able to do it. And there's something in

90
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: a relationship to landing vulnerability, confidently being needy in a

91
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: way that is confident, like for me at me and

92
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: saying I need a little love, I need a little

93
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: praise right now. I'm a little needy. That's way more

94
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: confident than actually being needy and drippy and desperate and thirsty,

95
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: like the way you frame things, you know, the way

96
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: like saying what you need is confident. Begging for scraps

97
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,239
Speaker 1: and being desperate and waiting around and then not getting

98
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: it and accepting that you didn't get it and asking

99
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: for it again, that's needy. There's a very big difference

100
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: between being like, this is what I need, this is

101
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: what I require, this is what I want, and like

102
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: I said, call the bluff. Gotta be willing to walk.

103
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: Also being able to articulate to someone the difference between

104
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: your wants and your needs your deal breakers and what

105
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: you really would like, because if you're in a healthy relationship,

106
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: most people will want to give each other what they

107
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: need and want, and you can't pick every single thing.

108
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: Everything can't be a need. Some things are a want,

109
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: and you might not get at all. But as one

110
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: of the dating coaches on here said, I really really

111
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: really validate what he said when he said a relationship

112
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: should not be work, and we got to it should

113
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: be effort. And I was talking to someone about this today.

114
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: It should be intention, but it should be desire. You

115
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: want to work on it, you want to get better,

116
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: but it's not work. And many of us have had

117
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: the same experience where we think we're the problem. Somebody

118
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: is good on paper, somebody seems like they're it. Someone

119
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: you know you're supposed to be feeling some way. Why

120
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: are you being critical of the other person. Why don't

121
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: you want to share with the other person? Why are

122
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: you leaving them out of things? Why do you want

123
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: to do things without them? Why do you not feel

124
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: great when you're around them? Why are you kind of

125
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: excited when they leave? Why are you not that excited

126
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: when you see them? Then you start saying, but they're

127
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: so good, they're so generous, they're this, They're what I'm

128
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: supposed to be wanting. Then you go inside. Then you

129
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: start beating yourself up. Then you start saying it must

130
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: be me. I must be flawed in some way, I

131
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: can't be happy, I can't allow myself to love. Then

132
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: it's another dialogue. If there is a person that fits

133
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: you properly, these things will not exist. You will have

134
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: to have intention, you will have to make an effort,

135
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: but they will not be the feeling of dread and

136
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: negotiating with yourself and torturing yourself and torment yourself and

137
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: tearing yourself apart because you're staying out of fear. Now

138
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: compound that you have kids, you're afraid because of financial reasons,

139
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: or because you've already gotten married, because what's your family

140
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: going to think. I mean, these things are super important

141
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: and also why relationship should not be jumped into. But

142
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: we beat the shit out of ourselves unnecessarily. If you

143
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: eat something and it doesn't agree with you, you just you

144
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: listen to that. You don't start talking about why the

145
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: thing is supposed Oh it's supposed to be good for me.

146
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: It's coconut, it's got good oil. If you don't like

147
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: it or it doesn't make you feel good, you don't

148
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: eat it. You don't care what the fuck anyone says

149
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: about it, How good for you it's supposed to be.

150
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: You're not eating it. You rejected it, your body rejected it.

151
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean you're psychologically unfit, doesn't mean you can't if

152
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: something's wrong with you. It means it's not right for you.

153
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: So we have to get more clear with that stuff,

154
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: because I feel like we torture ourselves and spend so

155
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: much unnecessary time doing that in addition to the wants

156
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: and needs. It's like related, but it's like what's your thing?

157
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,599
Speaker 1: What's your thing? The dating coach said. Men want to

158
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: be acknowledged. I think it was admired and appreciated. Women

159
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: want to feel safe, heard and understood. For me, it's safe.

160
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: I've heard men say to me loved, you know, loved.

161
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: So whatever it is, you listen to the other person

162
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: and you make sure that you give that to them

163
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: because some people could say it in that one moment,

164
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: but not in the day to day, and not everyone

165
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: needs to express themselves verbally. Do you ever notice there's

166
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: some people that express themselves nonverbally. It's their actions, it's

167
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: the way they do it, it's the way they make

168
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: you feel. They don't. Everyone doesn't need to be emoting

169
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: at all times, and sometimes because of our previous experiences,

170
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: we actually can't trust ourselves. We do have good gut instincts,

171
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: but sometimes we go back for the thing that's not

172
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: good for us, and we have to break the chain

173
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: ourselves in relationships, but not the pendulum, not where you're

174
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: just going to the opposite of what you did before,

175
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: which could be boring or dangerous for you, but basically

176
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: realizing if I walk into a casino, I might not

177
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: be able to be trusted. I'm gonna gamble. If I

178
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: go into a bakery, I'm gonna want all the sugar.

179
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: I'm not good in that environment. Knowing you know, if

180
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: I see a hot guy that looks like a bad boy,

181
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: that's what I'm going for. Or I tend to go

182
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: with somebody who's gonna treat me like shit but is

183
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: great in bed or whatever it is. We have to

184
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: acknowledge who we are and what our behaviors are and

185
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: why why we attract that and become your best self

186
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: before you get ready to be dating that's the hardest part.

187
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: People want to jump in. They want to they want

188
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: to fix it with the band aid. You want to

189
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: feel better, you want to go on a date. You

190
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: want to meet somebody, You want to be in a relationship.

191
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: You want somebody for the holidays, you want somebody for

192
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve. If you want to feel part of something,

193
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: you don't want to feel alone. You don't want to

194
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: go to the wedding alone. You don't want to be

195
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: the loser. Then you jump in something that's wrong for you,

196
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: and you're wasting time not finding the right person, and

197
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: you have never done the work. So even if you

198
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: found the right place person, you wouldn't be ready because

199
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: you're still a train wreck because you were so afraid.

200
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: You never did the work. And you when you start

201
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: a relationship, that bar better be really high. It will

202
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: only go down no matter what. You have a new car,

203
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: it will not smell like a new car in six months,

204
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: maybe a faint. So you better raise that bar high

205
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: in the beginning. Don't start settling from the jump. Now. Listen,

206
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: there is a time in the beginning you meet someone

207
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: it's not going to be off to the racist perfection.

208
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: You've got to sniff each other out. You've got to

209
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: get each other's patterns, wants, needs, likes, loves, sex. Communicate

210
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: about sex not in the bedroom, outside of the bedroom.

211
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: What does someone like? What does someone not like? What

212
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: about you know? Personal styles? What about cadence? What about

213
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: how much? What about how intense? What about how it

214
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: makes you feel? What about your past sexual experiences? What

215
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: about your trust issues as it pertains to sex. I mean,

216
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: sex is a massive topic, but overall, you set the

217
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: bar high and you train the dog in the beginning,

218
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: and I don't mean the man as a dog or

219
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: the woman's dog. People need to be trained in the beginning.

220
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: This is where the wee wee pad is. This is

221
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: where it isn't so we don't have any confusion. Later.

222
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: We may all have some accidents along the way. That's normal.

223
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: But we're not going to start this thing by dumbing

224
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: it down, because then it'll be in a shambles and

225
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: all the cracks become craters. So beware of the cracks,

226
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: beware of the pink flags. Critical periods to look out for.

227
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: I believe our six weeks. What are we doing? Do

228
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: we actually like each other? Is there a connection? Are

229
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: we continuing on to the next gauntlet, which is three months.

230
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: Three months is are we in a relationship? Are we

231
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: doing this at some point? Will I meet your family?

232
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: Will you meet my friends? Will I meet your kids?

233
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: Will we say I love you? Like? Three months is

234
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: critical and then we're off to the races. Then you

235
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: get to six months and a year and the rest

236
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: is history. But three months, to me, would be the

237
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: most critical part in any relationship. It's when you decide

238
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: what the real intention is of the entire relationship. I

239
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: stand by what the experts say about texting. Control yourself.

240
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying to myself as well. Do not communicate anything

241
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: important via text. Now this means, you know, reprimanding someone,

242
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: scolding someone, giving some notes, saying something you don't like,

243
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: saying something you do like, saying how you really deeply

244
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: feel about someone. Like real feelings should not be communicated

245
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: by text. Now there's a gray area because it could

246
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: be I miss you. That's a real feeling, but that's

247
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: like a small statement or XO, or I can't wait

248
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: to see you, or you make me feel great, or

249
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: you're making me happy, or look at I mean, once

250
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: in a while, there's an exception. But overall, you should

251
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: not be getting into broad stroke topics, negotiating something, talking

252
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: about how something makes you feel, how something didn't make

253
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: you feel. I wish you didn't do that. Can you

254
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: not do it? Like no arguing? No real meat should

255
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: be happening on texting. And it's a discipline because you

256
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: can't always get someone on the phone and people work.

257
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: And I would say if you're in something, FaceTime is

258
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: important too, if you're not with the person, particularly if

259
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: you're long distance. But if you're not gonna be with

260
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: the person all the time, someone's facetiming tour from work.

261
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: It is remarkable what it means to see someone's face

262
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: compared to just being on the phone. Let's take this down.

263
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: Seeing someone's face is a whole different ball game than

264
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: being on the phone. But being on the phone is

265
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: a whole different ball game than texting, which is pathetic

266
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: and sad because being on the phone can be really disconnected.

267
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: It really can. But texting, it's a fucking joke. Texting

268
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: is like getting a bag of cheetos and wanting it

269
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: to feel like you had like brown rice, chicken, breast

270
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: and broccolini. Like it's garbage food. It's junk food. It's

271
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: never gonna it's not gonna do it. It's just it's

272
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: like a tool that we overuse. Texting technically should be

273
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: like I'm in the corner booth and a red shirt.

274
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: It shouldn't even be as much as we use it for.

275
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: But we use it as a crutch, as a tool,

276
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: and you know, it's a necessary evil. One of the

277
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: tricky things in dating is talking about x's it really

278
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: really is. We say we're never going to do it,

279
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: we do it not because like, oh I miss Joe.

280
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: It's a reference point. You want to compliment the person

281
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: you're with. You like, I'm not used to this, you know,

282
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: And sometimes it does feel good. I don't mind it.

283
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: I don't mind it if someone says something about their

284
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: ex as it pertains to us and why this is different.

285
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's sometimes informative. If the last person used

286
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: to do something that really bothered you or made you

287
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: feel unsafe, you might have to discuss it with the

288
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: current person because that is institutional knowledge. Talking about how

289
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: you still miss the person or how you broke up

290
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: or when Joe and I used to go to do this.

291
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: That is not a good idea. Joe bought me flowers

292
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: and you don't. That is not a good idea. But

293
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: I'm used to a different dynamic with Joe where I

294
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: feel guilty about doing this. You know that might make

295
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: someone feel good that you're validating. Oh what's going on?

296
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: And again, as some of the matchmaker is only one

297
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: of the dating coaches has expressed the male dating coach,

298
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: the game moves fast when you're dating. We have all

299
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: these plans. We plan a god laughs, You plan to

300
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: have a get, play a game, do this, do that.

301
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: It all goes out the window. It does. You do

302
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: the very best you can, but it all does go

303
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: out the window.
