When you’re dating in 2022, you can almost be sure that the person in front of you on that first date is dating multiple people at the same time. This omnipresent truth can make you nervous as you so desperately want to stand out from the crowd. The truth is, we all want so badly to be unforgettable on a date . . . but actually making that happen can feel tricky. In the pursuit of “making someone like us,” we may give in to the knee-jerk reaction of trying to impress them, or worse . . . people please. Even though we told ourselves we’d be chill and genuine, we suddenly find ourselves working our most spectacular moments into conversation, hoping they’ll see us for the treasure we are. Or we get so nervous that our walls go up and we lose all warmth and become sarcastic and cutting instead. These performances will often have us showcasing the more insecure sides of ourselves, taking the focus away from the purpose of being on that date in the first place: connection. But luckily, truly connecting—and making yourself memorable—is much simpler than that. --- Get My Secrets to Mastering the First 5 Minutes of Any Situation.

Do you ever find yourself getting attracted to people who are unavailable (emotionally or otherwise)? Treat you poorly? Or simply aren’t interested in you? Why does this happen? Why do we conveniently keep getting attracted to the least convenient people? It can be deeply frustrating, especially when there might be someone who does like us but who we just don’t want. In this video, I explain two fundamental reasons why this keeps happening. At the end of this video, I give you a practical “mind trick” you can do on yourself to change this...

It’s very common that we hear from women who say “men are intimidated by me!” But what causes this? Is it male insecurity? Do men instinctively get turned off by a woman’s success, income, or assertiveness? In this episode, Matt and Stephen sit down to talk about how this happens, what it means for our dating lives, and the dating dynamics between men and women. --- Email us!

Do you get nervous that you’re not good enough? Feel a deep inner worry that you’re a “fraud” waiting to get found out? This is called “Imposter Syndrome”, and it’s a common trap that can make us live with SO much unnecessary anxiety and it holds us back from opportunities. In this clip, Matt explains how to defeat imposter syndrome with a simple mindset reframe. --- Let's Create Magic in Your Life, Together.

When it comes to sex, some of us have very specific ideas about what it should be like in a relationship. There’s the “sexual destiny” mindset, which says that sex should be amazing from the start and is entirely about natural chemistry. Then there’s the “sexual growth” mindset, which says that sex can improve over time and couples can work out sexual differences. In this episode, Matt and Stephen discuss the difference between these mindsets and what they mean for a potential relationship. --- Let's Create Magic in Your Life, Together.

When a relationship with someone we had strong feelings for (or even loved) ends, we tend to get overwhelmed with emotions. Whether we were with them for a short period of time or in a long, committed relationship, these feelings are universal. They can come in the form of raw heartbreak, the feeling that we’ve lost control over our happiness, a paralyzing fear that they might move on, an overwhelming desperation to get them back, or simply the pain of missing someone who used to be a constant in our life. The trouble is, when heartbreak, control, fear, desperation, or pain are at the wheel, the desire to make ourselves feel better becomes insatiable and this will in turn start to dictate how we conduct ourselves. The solution? Setting yourself a goal. Perhaps you’ve heard of the “No Contact Rule” but don’t know exactly what it entails, or maybe it sounds a little too counterintuitive for how you feel right now, especially if you’re holding out hope that you could still get back together . . . Well, I’m here to tell you that’s not the case, and in this episode, I distill the best I’ve learned about breakups and the "No Contact Rule" into everything you need to know on the topic, including what you can say at different stages. --- Let's Create Magic in Your Life, Together.

Has this ever happened to you? You’re on a first date... and... He’s charming, handsome, and you feel like you have chemistry… But at the end of the night… he doesn’t ask for a second date (nevermind a third or fourth). If this has happened to you (or keeps happening), you’re likely missing one of the two essential things that make him reach across the table and say: “I’d really like to see you again.” In this clip, I tell you EXACTLY what to say so that he’ll ask you out again (and again, and again)... (You might be surprised at how simple this is AND how often you’re skipping this step when you’re interacting with a guy you like, especially in the early stages of dating...) It’s genuinely crazy to me how obvious the phrase in this video is, how simple it would be for people to say, how many more second dates it would get them… and yet, they still aren’t doing it. I’m excited to read your thoughts in the comments. --- Let's Create Magic in Your Life, Together.

Few things can match the heady exhilaration of dating someone and building momentum through regular texting and a sense of closeness. But what about when the texting on their end is . . . kind of slow and intermittent . . . where there are big gaps in your text exchanges that leave you feeling unsure as to where, exactly, you stand with that person? Feeling this way might even lead you to start analyzing their relationship with their phone the next time you’re with them, looking for clues as to whether their sporadic phone usage is consistent in their life or reserved just for you. At some point, they might’ve even shared a generic line with you like, “I’m so rubbish with my phone,” or “I’m really bad at replying to people!” But is this really true? In this week’s video, I not only answer these questions, but I dig into a really common mistake people make in this area. --- Let's Create Magic in Your Life, Together.
