ANECDOTE

Joe: A Listener Case Study

  • The hosts compare the caller to "Joe," a recurring listener with the same date anxiety problem.
  • They used Joe's Helping Joe series as the basis for their specific recommendations.
ADVICE

Shift Goals: Fun And Curiosity

  • Replace thoughts of "Am I doing the right thing?" with "How can I have fun on this date?".
  • Also ask "What's something interesting I can learn about her?" to focus outward and reduce pressure.
ADVICE

Practice And Lead Conversations

  • Practice first dates and low-stakes social interactions to build comfort and fluency.
  • Use follow-up questions and genuine interest to lead conversations and reduce anxiety.
