Yikes! What a gross misunderstanding of mirroring a man or letting a man lead concept. Healthy people don’t need to be so rigid. That comes from fear. There is a big difference between saying hi, and saying hi and throwing yourself at someone. It’s like you did not watch the video.

Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her

Summary: 1. Go out more: increase your possibility to collide more. (2-4) be approachable, make people braver around you 👇🏽 2. When you like someone, be inviting: eye contact, not only one, multiple times. Don’t be creepy though 👀. 3. Get closer. 4. Say something,,, anything, to show you’re open to talk.

I wanted to say thank you Matthew! I've read your book and listened to your content for several years, practicing being open to conversations and making myself easy to talk to (not natural for an introvert but I intentionally learned!). I'd given up on modern dating, but kept practicing in public with no goals except warm curiosity to make friends and have interesting interactions with strangers. A few months ago I was at the car dealership getting work done on my car when another customer came and sat a few seats away. I struck up a casual conversation. We talked easily an hour and by the time his car was fixed I'd slid him my phone number. Texting turned into meeting up as friends, a few months passed and we both admitted we liked each other. We've been dating steadily almost a year now. So thank you, because of practicing being open for anything I met my first ever boyfriend - at age 39. You really never know when the right atoms will bump into each other!

Matthew Hussey got married?!! Where have I been? So glad you found your person! Seems like I went thru your journey, beginning of COVID, etc, and this fellow Gemini was grateful for the company, but my heart ached for both of us. Doing so much better also! Cheers! 🧡

I'm married but have been wanting to make more friends for years and I find that the main reason it's so hard is that everyone is looking down on their phones at any event or in any situation. I see the opportunities to strike up a conversation all the time via things in common, giving a compliment, etc but it's so much more difficult when no one will look up from their phones. I still think being on my phone in public is rude and never developed the habit but I also am low-tech in my personal life. I'll just have to keep looking, keep leaving the house and keep trying! 💛

Wonderful love story! I’ve ditched the dating apps in 2024. Focusing on projects instead of endless disappointments and distractions. I want to meet someone the old fashioned way like you and Audrey did. Thank you for sharing and I will use your advice. Be brave woman and don’t hold back on approaching someone we are interested in!

I met a guy two years ago on Hinge. My HR Director told me to ask him for coffee the first week we matched. He said yes. It didn't work out for romance, but he is one of my closest friends. We go out to eat. We go to the movies. We text almost every day. I went to Montréal & got him a gift. He gave me candles from a product shoot (he's a photographer). Be brave. Take a leap.

Yes, I agree! I’m 34 and discovered him in 2016 I think. I also like that him ending up with Audrey validates so many things that he always said - that a woman showing up as authentic and kind is more important than so many other superficial things. I feel like I relate to Audrey somewhat. Matthew didn’t end up marrying some flashy celebrity like he dated for a while, he values true connection, and that’s what he preaches.

I'm so happy for you, Matthew! You're like my brother that I've never met! Such a cool story. Many blessings.

So happy for you and the missus! 🎉🎉🎉 I have to say my dating training wheels are still on but I missed an opportunity to say hi and I regret this so much. I was standing outside a hotel looking at the map on my phone. I had been sick for a couple of days and was still sniffy, not feeling too human. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed an attractive gentlemen locking up his bike. My glance gave me enough info that he was visually my type, and he was smiling at me. In my SHOCK, I gave him a wispy smile and went on my way. I still think about this missed moment. I could have been brave enough to say “hi”, “gorgeous morning”….not expecting much more, but at least to respond to his smile. He deserved that. Such a simple moment that remains with me. Could have, should have, didn’t. I sabotaged myself! learning, trying to be more open.

Great video! Being near someone and even a simple “Hello” can lead to a great conversation with the right person.

Thanks for sharing, Matt. I'm interested in hearing more about how said before that you were broken when you met Audrey. I think it would help a lot of us who think that we have to be fully healed, full of joy and on a higher vibration in order to find love again.

Same. That comment about people looking at their phones really resonated. I see this everywhere - while i am *not* looking at my phone! It's so anti-social. I am so glad as a fellow GenXer that i grew up without this tech and learned to develop social skills, including the ability to talk to strangers, make eye contact, help people feel comfortable around me, and all these other things Matthew mentioned. I am "still" single, but it's by choice. I've never had a problem with meeting people, and i've never been on a dating app! Mostly i use these 'skills' (aka being human) in networking or work situations. It generally makes the world a better place when we are able to connect with each other - romantically or otherwise. There are a lot of lonely people out there and sometimes you can really be an asset in the world by just making a passing comment in the supermarket, or the bus stop, you know...

I've arrived at the conclusion that it's the momentum. A lot of times one of the partners is not in their "right" time and after that "failed" relationship he/her finds the "right" person and commites. THAT'S ALL.

You were always approachable in your podcasts. Compassionate and kind. Now, since getting married, you exude an expansiveness that invites us in even more and that is lovely! Thank you and thank you, Audrey!!

I was wondering how you met, and thought I had missed the story! So glad you two met- it multiplies the quotient of wonderful people ❤

Great advice! Wish I’d seen this many years ago! Enjoyed hearing about how you and your wife met.💐

Thank you for the validation on this. I’ve been following your stuff for years and have watched the evolution of it as well. And ultimately this reminded me that we BOTH have to be brave and each person being brave enough to take a step forward is huge.

Love how you narrated the whole interactions ❤

This was honestly so insightful and helpful. Thank you, Matthew

Aww! Thank you for sharing. I hope to find someone like that myself someday. ❤

I am literally home and in my blankets now. But I've been thinking of a list of new activities and events I can start going to, for this exact reason

Yep, selflessness and being of service to others (in a way that then also helps your own self indirectly as a side effect) is key. Be the inviter and take that initiative, regardless of the outcome. Help others being brave instead of just thinking only about you being brave... great way to approach it. As it takes the unnecessary pressure (and narcissism) off of you. When you're being generous and truthful in your offers in service, people want your attention more and want to play with you, give you opportunities, etc. It expands your life, not just in developing an intimate relationship/marriage.

Great advice!! Love that you are still making these videos. So impactfull ❤️

All really fantastic advice, Matthew... Bravo!! 👏👏👏

That’s awesome! That’s how I met my boyfriend! I put myself out there out of my comfort zone! It worked! Amen 🙏 ❤good luck 🍀 everyone

I became very reliant on dating apps. I met 2 of my ex’s on them. I felt comfortable on dating apps because I was able to find people who have things in common with me and I felt more confident. But now I want to try something different and meet someone in the real world. I have had opportunities where someone would make the contact with me but that’s as far as it would go 🤣 mainly because I’d feel too nervous to approach them.

Thank you Matt ❤

Great vid! Very insightful and explainable. How misconstrued it can be for us gentlemen to mistake a glance as a flirtation, a green light or not. "Bravery." Give us credit where credit is due. For "approaching," heck women can do it too! His wife approached him! Not the other way around geez lol

oh how I love you Matthew. Thank you!!!!!

One other thing I think is tremendously important: working on yourself and becoming the person you want to attract. Just showing up and following these steps won't produce the results you want unless you have a pretty clear idea of who you are and who you are trying to become - living by that, and only then will the chemistry be there when following these steps. Otherwise, you may find yourself having lots of conversations, but not a lot of chemistry. It's something I've been working on lately - being clear on my values and what I want to be doing with my life, and then knowing it'll inevitably lead me to collide with another person who is holding the other half of my brain.

Bravo, Audrey!

Wow congratulations, did not realise you were married. So happy for you.🎉🎊🥂🥳🍾

This is eye opening. Ive been frustrated for awhile now with the fact that I only seem to attract those I am not attracted to. Despite being an attractive women, men that I find attractive never approach me. After seeing this video, I realize I tend to do all these things with men Im not attracted to, because im not intimidated by them. Vs the men I am interested in, I act pretty cold and standoffish towards them.
