How To Get To A Serious Relationship

If you are looking for a serious relationship, while chemistry

is important, it is not the purpose of the first date.

Chemistry activates in the brain in the same location as

cocaine. Yes… it acts like a drug. One that can blind you from

seeing a woman’s red flags as well as areas that will

eventually be relationship enders. The first date is about

connection. So how do you create that connection? But taking

into account who you and she truly are. Screw the facade. It’s

time to get real.

Show who you truly are by focusing on 3 things:
Where were you, Where are you, Where are you going?

Translation: your past experiences that lead you to where you

are now- the strong, better, more ready person who you have

evolved to become, and what your goals are – both short and

long term.

Have conversations that are substantive. In order to not seem

like you are reading your bio or asking them interrogative

questions, have conversations in a story telling style. Tell

stories about life markers and experiences that shifted your

perspective and impacted your personality. If you want a

relationship with short term potential, stick with small talk.

But if you are truly ready for something real, you’ve got to

get real. That is how you will truly connect on a date.
