Dating Deep Dive

The Fine Arts of Dating

Today, I’m kicking off a special 3-part series called ā€˜The Fine Arts of Dating’.

Over the next few newsletters, you’re gonna learn 3 key elements that can make any date with a woman a success.

If you’ve been with me for a while, you know success in love is all about the foundation you build.

No need for games when you’re committed to growth, willing to improve, and leading from a place of authenticity.

Ready for Part 1?

It’s all about mastering your Conversation skills!

And I’m breaking it down into 7 easy steps.

THE 7 KEY PILLARS TO DATE CONVERSATION

Conversation is the heart and soul of meaningful connections. It’s 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 – (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.

ā€˜Active listening’ involves giving her your full attention and responding thoughtfully. It means not interrupting or ā€˜waiting’ to say your piece.

This may sound one-sided, but it’s not. Learning how to listen is one of the most valuable skills you can develop…

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 thinking…

"What am I going to talk about?ā€ or ā€œHow do I avoid awkward silences?"

It comes back to simply being authentic.

What are you actually most curious about?

For example: ā€œI’ve 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 ā€˜perfect thing’, 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 she’s heard many times before.

It’s refreshing and attractive.

(Pro Tip: This is much easier to do when you are actively listening!)

Pillar 3 - Speak passionately

Don’t be afraid to talk about things you love and are interested in, even if they’re a bit unusual or not your typical ā€˜date night’ 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 isn’t a free pass to dominate the conversation about magic, but I’ll touch on that next.)

Pillar 4 - Balance the conversation

Many clients have told me they've heard it's better to let the ā€˜other person’ 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 that—a 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 ā€œShould I compliment her?ā€

The answer is always a resounding — "Of course you should! Just be respectful and genuine.ā€

Compliments don’t have to be complicated. If fact, the simpler they are, the more natural they’ll come across and the more comfortable you’ll feel giving them.

There are 3 types of compliments I teach clients to play with:

1. Direct compliments:

ā€œYou look nice.ā€
ā€œYou look wonderful.ā€
ā€œYou’re genuinely funny.ā€
ā€œYou’re easy to talk to.ā€
ā€œYou have a great smileā€
ā€œMy friends would love you.ā€
ā€œI love your laugh, it’s contagiousā€

2. Question-First compliments:

You: "Is that a tattoo on your wrist?ā€
Her: "Yeah it is"
You: "It’s really nice. It suits you."

You: "Did you make that?ā€
Her: "Indeed I did!"
You: "It’s really something. You’re talented."

3. Notice & Reflect compliments (requires ā€œActive Listeningā€):

ā€œYou tap your feet when the music comes on, it’s so cute šŸ˜Šā€
ā€œYour eyes really light up when you talk about your work, it’s nice to see šŸ™‚ā€
ā€œI noticed you take a sip of your drink every time I compliment you šŸ˜…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 šŸ˜…) has evolved into a more sophisticated dance.

Introducing my ā€˜Childhood Charm’ method.

It’s 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:

ā€œYou’re funny, but I feel like you’re troubleā€
ā€œMy friends would love you, but they'd sense you're a troublemakerā€
ā€œWasn’t expecting that! Your profile paints quite the innocent picture, hahaā€
ā€œYou’re cute… but you can’t 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.

šŸ™‹šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø Make sure to scroll down for this week’s Man Up Mission, where I help you practice talking to women.

PRO TIP! šŸ’”

Whether it's compliments, playful teasing or calling her by name - Every piece of advice I’ve shared here today requires moderation.

As you playfully introduce these new elements into your interactions, remember to pace yourself… 🐢

Think of it like salt, you can always add more but once you’ve overdone it, the dish is ruined.

That’s a wrap for today!

But hey, we're just getting started! Stay tuned for next week’s edition where we’ll explore another vital element of the dating art…

Want a hint?

It’s something that speaks even when you're silent…

See you soon!
