    I post new love life advice for you every weekend.

    It’s normal to want to put our best selves forward on a first date . . . but sometimes this makes us hide who we really are. And that’s a shame, because someone may not see the real version of us-the one they’d want to see again and again.
    So how do you create authentic attraction early on? What are the things you could do that would make someone excited for a second date with you? In today’s new video, I share 3 natural ways to get and keep someone’s interest on a first date and beyond.
    I look forward to reading your comments!

    1. Lead with your best energy
    2. Show your vulnerability
    3. Bring out the best in that person

  • @meesamagill1193
    @meesamagill1193 Před 4 měsíci +19

    Be interested, rather than worrying if you are interesting enough

  • @meesamagill1193
    @meesamagill1193 Před 4 měsíci +29

    A date isnt an interview where you are giving them your CV. Connect and try to get to know THEM to see if you are interested in them, never mind trying to convince them of your worth

  • @zero1188
    @zero1188 Před 4 měsíci +45

    Vulnerability is very important. Gives the person a chance to deal with the real you instead of waiting until down the line and realizing they cant handle it

  • @moonstruck562
    @moonstruck562 Před 4 měsíci +38

    When I open up on a first date and let my vulnerability come out, I don't hear back from them. On the other hand, I'm kindda glad they remove themselves from the picture from the get go. That tells me they're not serious or not compatible.

    • @incassable
      @incassable Před 4 měsíci +5

      what do you mean with opening up ? Because I had a first date with a woman who told me straight away she exhausted 4 psychologists ... who would call her back ?? :D

    • @juliaskagfjord6207
      @juliaskagfjord6207 Před 3 měsíci +5

      Well, men who just want FWB only want a woman whom they do not have to deal with her strong emotions. I have heard the suggestion to open up about things, but dont give details and say I will tell you about that some other time. So you have opened up without opening up a can of worms. I am a personality who doesnt have a lot of issue with being honest and transparent, but same, I think for some its wayyyyy too much on a first date. We can open up to 30% rather than 100% as we also want the date to be someone who is worthy of our vulnerability, and that trust is built little by little over time

    • @RDKetch2201
      @RDKetch2201 Před 2 měsíci +1

      What’s your definition of vulnerability though? Is it trauma dumping? Is it just admitting when you feel anxious / tired?

  • @Dragonmoon8526
    @Dragonmoon8526 Před 4 měsíci +29

    It's similar to leading with your best self. You're not creating a false persona. You're making a greater effort.
    We're so scared of being judged by the other person that we adopt a persona that we belive will keep them interested in us. But, we're assuming a complete strangers perception of us based off gender and social exspectations.
    As was mentioned, find the healthy balance of being your best self without over compensating, giving to much, or holding everything back. Eaither they like you or they don't. That's why it's more important to focus more on them and determining if you feel you're comparable. Rather than focusing on whether or not you've made them like you. Or you successfully manipulated them into a second date.

    One of your best videos. I think you hit the nail on the head. This conversation can be tricky when coming from a man about women softening up, especially when they have had past experiences being hurt or mistreated or mislead by men, but I think you brought a nuance and empathy here that's needed. Men want to feel needed as well, and thinking about how you can empower the other individual and bring out the best in each other is great

    #3 really stood out to me because i was definitely under that belief not to "make myself smaller" to help someone else be comfortable, but your Steve Job's example is eye opening. I actually see it's how my principal at work is...he is the "Steve Jobs" of our school but i think he stands back to let other staff show their potential, who wouldn't feel comfortable showing their potential if he was just tooting his own horn instead.
    I have felt my marriage wasn't successful because i WAS always making myself small, so I've swung the opposite way now.... So, i really needed your message to know that i can be a bit of both!

    Amazingly, after all these years, I think your videos are beginning to stick, Matthew. I was at one of my go-to coffee shops yesterday, an open-air place by the sea. I asked a guy if I could sit at the end of his long, empty table, sheltered from the wind, with my coffee & newspaper. He welcomed me & we had a long chat. I was getting twitchy - I really just had wanted to sit & do the cryptic crossword, & instead found myself thinking that I needed to practice actively listening to this guy as per your suggestion in this video. I learned so much - that he was a dairy farmer & was game enough to discuss Plato - it felt a bit like a work-out, & at the end he rose & shook my hand, like we'd been speed-dating. (Maybe he has). Then a biker sat down - with a partner - & when I got up he said he hoped he hadn't put me off, so I said No, I used to have a bike - I boasted a little bit & told him I'd ridden solo right across Oz - I wouldn't have done that with the single guy after watching your video! Same thing happened a few weeks ago there when I saved a guy's little dog from being mauled by a bigger one, but at the time I was just too tired to respond to him, though I did wonder what you'd suggest. A second time he got me a coffee, sat down & seriously grilled me for personal info. It felt a bit over the top - I need more practice. Hope I don't run out of guys!

    @agasobczakwithbraveheart5675 Před 4 měsíci +3

    I agree with your points Matthew.
    I’m not entirely sure about the one about men feeling intimidated by women. Isn’t their lack of self-confidence or feeling worthy? If someone is intimidated by the fact e.g. that maybe I earn more than them, I’ve travelled quite a lot in life, I’ve lived abroad for many years etc. - what can I do about it?
    I ask questions with curiosity and genuinely want to get to know the guy more. I also appreciate things he shares that touch me.
    But I can’t change my life’s story or pretend that I’ve lived my whole life in this town and never developed 😉

    Can i say something funny😂
    I used one of the line that you gave back in 2018 and it did wonderful yk it got me the guy, i dated him for 4 yrs. We broke it off last year. he remembered what i had said to him on first date until the end. dayumm he admitted it boosted his ego so much. But boy he turned out to be very insecure, emotionally closed off, he'd keep comparing himself with some other guys, made jokes about somebody else shortcoming, every conversation would turn into fight because he hated confrontation and tagged me as always trying to argue. Above all, im saying is use the tactics sparingly and be mindful or you just might end up only healing another soul for God knows how long. 😂

    I love the story of the marriage of Rasul
    صلى الله عليه وسلم
    and Khadeejah
    رضي الله عنها.
    Khadeejah
    رضي الله عنها
    always supported her husband who is The Messenger of ALLAH
    صلى الله عليه وسلم
    until she was made to leave this world and she entered the life of the Barzakh.
    الحَمدُ لله على كل حال
    . She never nagged, she never complained to her husband . She helped him when she could,
    الحَمدُ لله
    .
    She cared for him. She would prepare meals for him. She would listen to him.
    الحَمدُ لله
    .
    Khadeejah رضي الله عنها
    was a businesswoman and after she got married to Rasul
    صلى الله عليه
    وسلم ,
    she focused on taking care of their home .
    Rasul صلى الله عليه وسلم never had any competition with her.
    Rasul صلى الله عليه وسلم loved her dearly and never married any other woman until she tasted death.
    الحَمدُ لله على كل حال
    .
    Nowadays a lot of men tend to aggressively compete with women. They feel inferior if a woman is well spoken etc. We don’t need that insecure mindset.
    Do read the Qur’an 🌹

    Hello , i like you vidéo and your books but I dare say that you are talking about a mature sort of men we never met ! I'm quiet a gifted educated sexy girl and open minded enough to value the person and not the CV but the guys around here don't understand my interest because for them I am too intelligent and to educated to fit with them. I suppose they feel Inferiors even if for me their hobbies or abilities are amazing too ! I told them but...and I can't move from this rural area till 5 years at least. On the big cities where i were , if the guy is gifted / cultivated he wants a better match for him, more young women for example...etc.
    It's nice to say that authenticity is the best to meet people but the problem is there is not so much authentic people to meet !!

    @23456JY Před 4 měsíci

    @thematthewhussey I am a Cancerian. I have met a guy last week for the first time, and he is a Scorpio. It was love at first sight. After getting to know him better I know he is very compatible with me. But because what he was interested in speaking about is all about his research work, he then rejected me because he told me it felt like a colleague-colleague conversation, and nothing more. How can I tell him I do not just want to be friends, I want to continue to date him outside of work context.(we work in the same institution although we met on a dating app). I felt he hasn’t seen the feminine side of me yet, I merely showed interest in the work conversation because I saw he seemed to really like it. Is there a way to fix this? Helps! 😢

    • @ElderTimes
      @ElderTimes Před 4 měsíci +1

      As a guy, your best shot is to simply show up authentically….. as your best self. Send him this comment without editing it, and don’t attach to the outcome or try and control/influence the results….. they aren’t up to you. Too, for all you know, he’s doing you a favor by not reacting & responding the way you want him to. Regardless, the outcome will be….. the best possible outcome, even though it may be in disguise🙂
