Dating Deep Dive
The Fine Arts of Dating
Today, Iām kicking off a special 3-part series called āThe Fine Arts of Datingā.
Over the next few newsletters, youāre gonna learn 3 key elements that can make any date with a woman a success.

If youāve been with me for a while, you know success in love is all about the foundation you build.
No need for games when youāre committed to growth, willing to improve, and leading from a place of authenticity.
Ready for Part 1?
Itās all about mastering your Conversation skills!
And Iām breaking it down into 7 easy steps.
THE 7 KEY PILLARS TO DATE CONVERSATION
Conversation is the heart and soul of meaningful connections. Itās the cornerstone of any great date.
There's something special about a dialogue that just flows, where you're vibing with someone you like, and it's all happening effortlessly ā (especially without the need for liquid courage!)

Pillar 1 - Practice active listening
Truly listening to someone speak is not just about hearing words, it's about paying attention to what's not being said.
Her facial expressions, her tone of voice and where she directs her eyes are all part of the story.
āActive listeningā involves giving her your full attention and responding thoughtfully. It means not interrupting or āwaitingā to say your piece.
This may sound one-sided, but itās not. Learning how to listen is one of the most valuable skills you can developā¦
It will impact the way you engage and interact with women, and create far more meaningful connections.
Pillar 2 - Lead with genuine curiosity
Ever been trapped in that loop of thinkingā¦
"What am I going to talk about?ā or āHow do I avoid awkward silences?"
It comes back to simply being authentic.
What are you actually most curious about?
For example: āIāve never seen someone order a vegan BLT before, have you always been a vegetarian?ā

When you lead with genuine curiosity, it means you no longer have to say the āperfect thingā, but rather just what you truly want to know about in the moment.
How freeing!
This approach naturally helps you stand out from other guys.
Not only does it keep the conversation moving forward, it keeps it interesting and clear of the boring, cookie-cutter questions sheās heard many times before.
Itās refreshing and attractive.
(Pro Tip: This is much easier to do when you are actively listening!)
Pillar 3 - Speak passionately
Donāt be afraid to talk about things you love and are interested in, even if theyāre a bit unusual or not your typical ādate nightā conversation starters.
For instance, sharing your enthusiasm for magic tricks is better than forcing a convo about the latest Netflix show, just to sound relatable.
Being passionate always trumps trying too hard.
(FYI: this isnāt a free pass to dominate the conversation about magic, but Iāll touch on that next.)
Pillar 4 - Balance the conversation
Many clients have told me they've heard it's better to let the āother personā do most of the talking on a date.
While showing interest and allowing your date the space to express herself can make her feel liked and appreciated, being too passive can wind you up in the infamous 'friend-zone'.
The point of any date is for both of you to have fun and get to know each other.
Great conversation is exactly thatāa two-way street. So, rather than trying to be be 'the nice guy' who just silently nods, make sure you're contributing to the dialogue.
The right woman will appreciate this balance. She'll be just as interested in learning about you as she is in talking about herself.
Pillar 5 - Say nice things
Clients often ask me āShould I compliment her?ā
The answer is always a resounding ā "Of course you should! Just be respectful and genuine.ā

Compliments donāt have to be complicated. If fact, the simpler they are, the more natural theyāll come across and the more comfortable youāll feel giving them.
There are 3 types of compliments I teach clients to play with:
1. Direct compliments:
āYou look nice.ā
āYou look wonderful.ā
āYouāre genuinely funny.ā
āYouāre easy to talk to.ā
āYou have a great smileā
āMy friends would love you.ā
āI love your laugh, itās contagiousā
2. Question-First compliments:
You: "Is that a tattoo on your wrist?ā
Her: "Yeah it is"
You: "Itās really nice. It suits you."
You: "Did you make that?ā
Her: "Indeed I did!"
You: "Itās really something. Youāre talented."
3. Notice & Reflect compliments (requires āActive Listeningā):
āYou tap your feet when the music comes on, itās so cute šā
āYour eyes really light up when you talk about your work, itās nice to see šā
āI noticed you take a sip of your drink every time I compliment you š
ā
Pillar 6 - Engage in playful teasing
Remember back when we were kids and a little boy might pull a girl's ponytail or tease her on the playground?
Everyone would say, "It's because he likes you!"
In the modern dating world, this dynamic still exists and (fortunately š
) has evolved into a more sophisticated dance.
Introducing my āChildhood Charmā method.
Itās about bringing that innocent, playful teasing from your younger years into your adult interactions with maturity and respect.
This method is about saying something sweet, and then pairing it with some light teasing.
Here are some examples:
āYouāre funny, but I feel like youāre troubleā
āMy friends would love you, but they'd sense you're a troublemakerā
āWasnāt expecting that! Your profile paints quite the innocent picture, hahaā
āYouāre cute⦠but you canāt be trusted!ā
Pillar 7 - Call her by her name
There's a certain magic to our own names.
Dale Carnegie once said, "a person's name is, to that person, the sweetest and most important sound in any language."
It has the power to grab one's attention and create a deeper connection.
šš»āāļø Make sure to scroll down for this weekās Man Up Mission, where I help you practice talking to women.
PRO TIP! š”
Whether it's compliments, playful teasing or calling her by name - Every piece of advice Iāve shared here today requires moderation.
As you playfully introduce these new elements into your interactions, remember to pace yourself⦠š¢
Think of it like salt, you can always add more but once youāve overdone it, the dish is ruined.

Thatās a wrap for today!
But hey, we're just getting started! Stay tuned for next weekās edition where weāll explore another vital element of the dating artā¦
Want a hint?
Itās something that speaks even when you're silentā¦
See you soon!
