(Matt Monday): How to Get Out of the Casual Dating Trap

(Rewind): Love & Money: 5 Awkward Questions Answered (feat. Ramit Sethi)

One thing no one ever warns you about happy relationships is just how many awkward conversations they can require you to have. And despite all the big ones of politics, religion and family – I find one topic almost no one wants to talk about is money. Who should pay on a date? Should you be honest with your partner how much money (or debt) you have? How do you handle it when one of you earns significantly higher income in a relationship than the other? These are all hugely important, and yet mos...

Have you ever been so frustrated by someone's mixed signals that you just decided to finally confront them and ask where you stand? It’s a scary moment. You feel like you’ve thrown your heart into the air, and you’re hoping they'll run to catch it instead of letting it fall and splat on the ground and make a huge mess.

(Rewind): 3 Compliments That Create Deep Attraction

There's some really interesting psychology about compliments: not all of them have the same effect. You can give generic compliments, or you can give compliments that create real attraction and connection between the two of you. One of these compliments works for when you first message someone on an app... The 2nd one is great for when you are meeting someone in person... The 3rd one is for someone you already know and want to build more attraction with. This episode is super practical. Take a f...

(Rewind): Ready to Give Up on Dating? Watch This . . .

I can’t tell you how many times a week someone online says to me: “Matthew, I’ve had enough. I’m just going to give up on dating altogether.” It may be because they are sick of getting their heart broken. It may be that they are exhausted from going on dates that don’t go anywhere, or online conversations that never even get to the point of a date in the first place. It could be the frustration of never meeting people they have true chemistry with, or when they finally do, discovering that they ...

(Rewind): How To Like Yourself More Right Now

It’s hard to find love when you don’t feel loveable yourself. When you know you’ve made a ton of mistakes. Or you’ve internalized the idea that you’re just not a likable person. It becomes a self-perpetuating cycle: “I don’t like myself, so why should anyone else like me?” Then we feel lonely, beat ourselves up, feel like a failure, and like ourselves even less than before. We retreat more and more into our shells and lose that “spark” that makes us attractive to someone else as a potential part...

Angela’s story in this week’s episode is one of the most impactful I’ve heard on this subject. I’m so excited for you to see it.

Betrayal. Anger. Heartbreak. These emotions are normal in the wake of a breakup.
