#7 - Creating a space for authentic conversations, saving time with compliments, the true nature of the sh*t test
Description
In episode seven of the Art of Approach podcast, we dive into the essence of using 'friend energy' when meeting new people. We discuss the significance of treating everyone like a friend to forge authentic and comfortable connections. Our conversation also touches on the importance of clear intentions and genuine desire in approaches, handling 'sh*t tests' with confidence, and the need to recover from negative experiences while maintaining a balanced mindset. We delve into finding equilibrium in interactions, focusing on the journey rather than the outcome in dating, and the role of texting in early stages of relationships. Sharing our own coaching and dating experiences, we highlight the challenges of missed opportunities and overcoming the fear of judgment. We emphasize the importance of confronting self-doubt, accepting the uncertainties of dating, and the idea that there's never a 'perfect time' to approach someone, encouraging our listeners to seize opportunities as they arise.
