Awkward first dates
going in unprepared
“We barely talked and it was awkward.”
That’s what every man dreads on the first date.
But here’s the question — why do first dates turn awkward?
Awkwardness happens when you’re unclear about why you’re there.
Once you understand why you’re going on the first date, there are only two outcomes.
alignment (schedule next date)
non-alignment (move on)
If values don’t add up, there’s no awkwardness — It’s just a clear NO.
And thirty minutes later you’re out of there.
But you do need to go in there knowing exactly what to look for and recognize the signs that warrant a second date.
When you know what to do, you’re not wasting time chit-chatting about random things that don’t indicate whether she’s a match.
And you’re not stumped for words either because you know the major themes to hit to see whether she’s aligned with your values.
I made a First-Dates bonus section for the TruValues Workshop that I’ll be hosting on October 9th, 2024.
After we uncover the values that truly matter to you in your marriage-quality woman, I’ll show you how to strategically apply them to your first dates.
You’ll know how to steer conversations like a pro — knowing where to take them to recognize whether you should schedule a second date or simply move on.
You’ll know how to match her responses to the values you’ve picked out — so that you quickly know whether she’s a good match for a fulfilling relationship or not.
When you go on first dates with a map of the territory, it makes finding what you’re looking for painless.
When you go without a clue, you never know what you’re gonna get.
And in the words of the famous meme — “Ain’t nobody got time for that”.
I’m closing the workshop registration in 9 days.
See you there.
Nikita.
