Episode 35: Scaling Back, Video Calls and Vetting for Character
6 Jan 2026 12 min
I woke up wanting to give up on dating today ("maybe there just aren't enough good men"), and then this happened...I took @MinaYang-true 's advice from Episode 33, and so far so good!1) Scaling back2) Video call3) Vetting for characterI I cut out my date's voice for privacy, but saved it so I can share it when we get married:) Also, why is a guy who is good at scheduling so damn sexy? A few thoughts: I might have thought this guy was too good to be true if we hadn't actually had a video call. In terms of vetting for character, it was more of a framework or perspective I was coming from than carefully analyzing every detail to see if the person had a good character.If you're a woman wondering how to run these conversations, notice I worked in a slightly flirty, genuine compliment (about his accent). I learned this from ( @thematthewhussey who says its good to say one thing that makes this not a friend thing but is a little sexy). It can feel a little weird showing your physical attraction, but you can say something as stupid as I did and it works really well. Men LIKE it when women are attracted to them! Another thing I worked in is a compliment: my dating coach I worked with previously said it's good to compliment guys at least once, (but not about their physical appearance.)p.s. he actually re-arranged his schedule and asked if we could meet tonight, so I'm excited!
