Redefine Play As Presence
- Define play as a joyful act with no outcome where you are fully present and in flow.
- Use that state to notice deep connection rather than forcing future-focused evaluation.
Airport Date And Horseback Surprise
- Jeff took dates to SFO international terminal to watch reunions, give flowers and invent stories about people.
- He also randomly went horseback riding on a first meet to learn faster through shared experience.
Filter With Shared Play
- Avoid forced play; ask about shared fun when texting to filter who is willing to experiment.
- Meet people in activities aligned with your values instead of defaulting to bars or predictable spots.
