Episode notes

Adults can effectively meet new people by using an event decision matrix to prioritize events based on the likelihood of enjoyment and interaction. By focusing on events where enjoyment and interaction are high, individuals can increase their chances of meeting others. This strategy helped a client who struggled with online dating to connect with multiple people at a book club event, leading to a shift from feeling unlovable to being seen and appreciated for her authentic self. Prioritizing events with a high likelihood of enjoyment and interaction can enhance social opportunities and personal growth.

How the hell do grown ups date and make friends? Behavioral scientist turned dating coach, Logan Ury is here to help us make dating and meeting new friends easier: how to identify what you really want; why we should stop searching for “the spark”; why we keep going after the same people that are wrong for us; how to talk to our kids about their first love experiences; why we need to have “other significant others”; and the eight questions you should ask yourself after meeting anyone new.
