How To Make Modern Dating Feel Easier
Matthew Hussey argues that dating burnout, not broken apps or bad luck, is what kills most people's love lives, and explains how to fix it.
The gist
-
Going into dates defensive and fearful backfires; focusing on making a good impression rather than avoiding failure brings out your best self.
-
Prepare before dates with an outfit, conversation topics, and a scouted location to feel more confident and in control.
-
Shift from selling yourself to assessing your date, asking whether they meet your needs instead of anxiously proving your worth.
-
Hussey says emotional regulation is a learnable skill, and gaining control over your reactions makes you more attractive to the right people.
