Is there someone in your life who keeps going hot and cold with the attention they're showing you? One minute they want to see you, and the next, you feel them pulling away... What's up with that? When someone you like disappears and then reappears, it's easy to drive yourself crazy trying to work out the BEST way to get their attention again. You think, "Do I ignore them to teach them a lesson? Do I play it cool and pretend it was no big deal? Or do I show them I'm hurt that they disappeared?" ...
Aug 19, 2022•3 min•Transcript available on Metacast One of the unchanging truths about love is that even though it's beautiful when we find it, there's always a chance we can lose it.

Aug 17, 2022•41 min•Transcript available on Metacast I’ve heard this story a thousand times before . . . A woman goes on a date with a guy and they hit it off. Things seem to be going well, and pretty soon, they’re seeing each other all the time. He’s texting her daily, making plans with her for the future, and every time his name pops up on her phone, she feels a surge of happiness and excitement. That very same excitement keeps hitting new peaks until, suddenly, she feels a shift. He grows more and more distant, and at first she’s not sure wheth...

Aug 12, 2022•6 min•Transcript available on Metacast Do you have a dating type? Have your previous relationships always been with a similar person, in terms of looks, personality or behavioural dynamics? It's easy for us to look at the past and tell ourselves, "This is who I am. This is who I like." And it can affect how we date now simply because of what we're used to. But is it helpful to lock ourselves in on a single kind of person? Or should our tastes be more flexible when finding love? Matt and the team talk about the topic of dating types a...
Aug 10, 2022•2 hr 32 min•Transcript available on Metacast On dating apps, first impressions matter. And after you clear the first hurdle of endless swiping and find someone who piques your interest, it’s often the next step that’s the hardest . . . That is, of course: What on EARTH do you say to them?! You scan their bio, hoping inspiration will strike and you’ll manage to figure out the perfect opening gambit. You think: Would a simple “hey” or “great photo” show a lack of imagination? I’d like to just be myself, but it can feel so hard to be authenti...
Aug 08, 2022•9 min•Transcript available on Metacast You wouldn’t believe how many people read every blog, watch every YouTube video, and follow every Facebook post I put out, and yet still say: “Yeah, Matt… I get it.

Aug 01, 2022•18 min•Transcript available on Metacast You may have at some point said to yourself: “I know a guy who acts really charming and friendly, but I have no idea if he actually LIKES me!” It’s annoying, right? Especially if the guy is a naturally charismatic guy anyway. How do you know if he has eyes for you, or if he’s just like that with every woman he meets? Taking the risk of putting yourself on the line for someone could mean embarrassment, rejection, or make things super-awkward between you both later on. You want to know when you ha...
Jul 29, 2022•4 min•Transcript available on Metacast If you truly feel like you had a once-in-a-lifetime connection, it can feel like you'll never get over a past relationship. Sometimes we can still idealize a relationship from years ago because we feel like we'll never replace that person. And then we get locked in a story: "I can never move on from this because that's the strongest chemistry I'll ever have". In this episode, Matt, Stephen, Audrey and Jameson talk about how to change the story you tell yourself, what it takes to finally move on ...

Jul 22, 2022•6 min•Transcript available on Metacast Commitment in 2022 can mean many different things. Typically it means a decision to either be exclusive, or commit to a future together, and a decision to take yourself off the dating market entirely. But many of us can get into situations where WE DON’T EVEN KNOW if we’re in a committed partnership or not. We never know where we stand because we make assumptions and forget to define the relationship. In this episode, Matt, Stephen, Audrey, and Jameson talk about some of the most common mistakes...
Jul 20, 2022•1 hr 1 min•Transcript available on Metacast Have you ever been with a guy you were certain would never settle down? The type who would declare to all his friends that he just “wasn’t made” for a relationship . . . only to one day announce he’s in a serious relationship or even getting married? When this happens, we think, “What did the woman he committed to do that I didn’t?!” What makes a man suddenly decide to commit? In this week’s video, I not only dive into the answer to this question, but I also give you 4 practical pieces of psycho...
Jul 18, 2022•12 min•Transcript available on Metacast Just because we've accepted it's over, it doesn't mean we've truly moved on.

Jul 15, 2022•8 min•Transcript available on Metacast We all like to think a great relationship is just about finding the right person. But it's not. It's also about how you communicate with that person. It's about the inner thoughts you share. The way you divide tasks. How you both share your worries. The time you schedule you together. In this episode, Matt, Stephen, Audrey and Jameson sit down to talk through a recent New York Times article by Catherine Pearson that made the case for 7 essential check-in questions to ask your partner. --- Join o...
Jul 13, 2022•1 hr 9 min•Transcript available on Metacast I recently received this comment from one of my Love Life Club members, and I’m curious if you can relate: “I’m starting to feel really uncomfortable with the fact that I’m still single. I can’t help but wonder what’s wrong with me that I haven’t found something lasting yet . . .” This mindset is dangerous. Why? Because our anxiety about being single can lead us to make some really poor and damaging choices. It can turn our dating life into a game of musical chairs, where we scramble to find ANY...
Jul 11, 2022•16 min•Transcript available on Metacast We’ve all done it. We start to like someone and suddenly we’ve built a whole narrative around what our future could look like with them. They feel like a rare antidote we’ve stumbled across that will take us out of being single and into the relationship we so badly want. The issue is, in the process of doing this, we rob ourselves of the ability to enjoy the experience—too stuck in our heads to be in the moment. We also run the risk of self-sabotaging as we try to see danger where there isn’t an...
Jul 08, 2022•8 min•Transcript available on Metacast It's normal for us to date someone with a different attachment style from our own. But how do we know if someone is compatible with us longterm? And are there certain behaviours that tell us the relationship is ultimately doomed? In this episode, Matt, Stephen and Audrey discuss attachment styles, how we can communicate with someone who shows a behaviour that makes us unsure about them, and if your partner can ever change. --- Join Matt's FREE 2-hour "Dating With Results" live training at Dating...
Jul 06, 2022•1 hr 11 min•Transcript available on Metacast When it comes to dating, does the fear of rejection stop you from being yourself? Whether it’s approaching someone at a coffee shop, reaching out first on an app, or allowing yourself to “let go” whilst on a date, this fear is the very thing that will have you looking back wistfully and saying “What if?” years from now rather than saying “Why not?” in the moment. Of course, in a world where people are constantly trying to curate and filter their lives, it’s no wonder most of us find it scary to ...

Jun 24, 2022•6 min•Transcript available on Metacast You may have been dating a guy that seemed promising, until he said that ONE thing, or you saw ONE behaviour, and it totally turned you off.

Jun 17, 2022•8 min•Transcript available on Metacast “Where can I meet quality men?” I’ve probably been asked this question every day for the last 15 years. Between endless swiping on apps and being in the same friendship circles, many people struggle to even meet people they feel attracted to.

In today’s episode, I get to the bottom of these questions and reveal how you can dramatically increase yo...
Jun 13, 2022•18 min•Transcript available on Metacast What’s the #1 sexiest thing a woman can do on a first date? Play footsie under the table? Wear a low-cut V-neck sweater? Whisper, “Hey handsome” in his ear when he gives you a hug? Nope. While those things won’t by any means hurt your chances, what really makes a guy want you depends on how you make him feel in your company. He needs to feel intrigued. He needs to feel attractive. He needs to feel a sense of fun . . . This week, I’m going to teach you 5 killer lines you can say to any guy to fil...
