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 any.

In this clip, I share an easy and grounding phrase you can use RIGHT NOW to calm yourself down if you find yourself in this situation.

P.S. What’s been your experience when you’ve found yourself in this situation? I’d love to hear your story - email at podcast@matthewhussey.com

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.

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 try something where validation isn’t guaranteed.

And while it might not be possible to feel completely immune to the fear of rejection, there are things you can do to move beyond that paralyzing anxiety.

In today’s episode, I’m going to give you three secrets to changing your relationship with rejection . . .

Sometimes you're dating someone who gives you mixed signals. You feel you have amazing chemistry and he pays you lots of attention in person, but in between your dates it's like he's disappeared.

Today's episode will help you cut through all of the anxiety, uncertainty, and stress.

I go deep on three very specific questions you can ask yourself to determine whether staying or leaving is the right decision for you.

I also break down a new model that will help you identify what to watch out for and the dangerous cocktail of certain traits we must avoid in someone . . . these are the traits that can make a relationship so toxic that over time, it will erode our confidence and identity to the point that leaving the relationship is the only option.

Understanding this model may just save your self-respect, sanity, and happiness. And once you know how it works, red flags will be much easier to spot.

This is an episode you’ll also want to return to anytime you’re stuck in that fog of fear and confusion and want to feel a sense of clarity . . . so you can stop second-guessing your choices and move on with confidence.

P.S. I’d love to hear your comments on this. What’s a “dark pairing” you’ve experienced that made life really difficult? Email us at podcast@matthewhussey.com

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. 

Or you've been together for 6 months, and your attraction has now turned to repulsion.

This is "the ick", and in this episode, Matt, Stephen, and Audrey sit down to look at how this strange phenomenon occurs and what it says about attraction.

In this episode, I talk about some of the top questions I’ve been asked on the topic of keeping someone's interest and when to sleep together —the ones that cause people to reach out to me in SOS mode—including:

• When to have sex with someone you’re dating.

• How to have the conversation about sex before you sleep together (and as a bonus, I even provide a sample script you can adapt).

• How to handle rejection and ghosting.

I promise you won’t have to worry about “losing your power” ever again, because you’ll be OK no matter the outcome.

Your coach,

Matthew x

“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.

But is there actually an untapped magical place teeming with single guys? Should you go to a Tough Mudder to find your (slightly-dirt-stained) person?

In today’s episode, I get to the bottom of these questions and reveal how you can dramatically increase your chances of meeting someone amazing without having to venture too far out of your comfort zone.

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 fill him with great emotions and get him dying to see you again . . .

One of the biggest frustrations about red flags is that they can be filtered out by our rose-colored glasses, only allowing us to see them clearly in hindsight.

But there are ways to appropriately respond to red flags in early dating (if you can spot them), and in this episode, I show you one way to “crack the code” . . .

That is, of course, to always have a North Star.

This week, I walk through what, exactly, a North Star is, why it’s so important to have in order to be successful in dating, and how to choose one . . .

So, this wasn't the episode we planned to release this week. But an online conversation turned into something so unexpected that we scrapped the original plan and recorded something new, because I couldn't wait to talk about it.

I asked men about their specific insecurities when it comes to early dating. And what we got back was more vulnerable and real than anyone expected. Not only that, but the women's responses to the men's candid comments were beautiful.

The incredible responses also brought up some themes, which I decided to take closer look at in this episode. These include:

- Men's top insecurities, including how they feel insecure about being insecure

- Helpful ways to validate our partner if they feel insecure

- How to manage our feelings when the insecurity we see in someone else reminds us of our own insecurities.

This episode is all about bravery and kindness, and my goal is that by the end of it, you will understand and be able to relate to men a little better.

Your coach,

Matt

When you’re dating in 2022, you can almost be sure that the person in front of you on that first date is dating multiple people at the same time. This omnipresent truth can make you nervous as you so desperately want to stand out from the crowd.

The truth is, we all want so badly to be unforgettable on a date . . . but actually making that happen can feel tricky.

In the pursuit of “making someone like us,” we may give in to the knee-jerk reaction of trying to impress them, or worse . . . people please.

Even though we told ourselves we’d be chill and genuine, we suddenly find ourselves working our most spectacular moments into conversation, hoping they’ll see us for the treasure we are.

Or we get so nervous that our walls go up and we lose all warmth and become sarcastic and cutting instead.

These performances will often have us showcasing the more insecure sides of ourselves, taking the focus away from the purpose of being on that date in the first place: connection.

But luckily, truly connecting—and making yourself memorable—is much simpler than that.

Do you ever find yourself getting attracted to people who are unavailable (emotionally or otherwise)?

Treat you poorly? Or simply aren’t interested in you? Why does this happen? Why do we conveniently keep getting attracted to the least convenient people?

It can be deeply frustrating, especially when there might be someone who does like us but who we just don’t want.

In this video, I explain two fundamental reasons why this keeps happening.

At the end of this video, I give you a practical “mind trick” you can do on yourself to change this...

Learn the 2 mistakes that keep you from meeting the right person...

It’s very common that we hear from women who say “men are intimidated by me!”

But what causes this? Is it male insecurity? Do men instinctively get turned off by a woman’s success, income, or assertiveness?

In this episode, Matt and Stephen sit down to talk about how this happens, what it means for our dating lives, and the dating dynamics between men and women.

Do you get nervous that you’re not good enough? Feel a deep inner worry that you’re a “fraud” waiting to get found out?

This is called “Imposter Syndrome”, and it’s a common trap that can make us live with SO much unnecessary anxiety and it holds us back from opportunities.

In this clip, Matt explains how to defeat imposter syndrome with a simple mindset reframe.

When it comes to sex, some of us have very specific ideas about what it should be like in a relationship.

There’s the “sexual destiny” mindset, which says that sex should be amazing from the start and is entirely about natural chemistry.

Then there’s the “sexual growth” mindset, which says that sex can improve over time and couples can work out sexual differences.

In this episode, Matt and Stephen discuss the difference between these mindsets and what they mean for a potential relationship.

When a relationship with someone we had strong feelings for (or even loved) ends, we tend to get overwhelmed with emotions.

Whether we were with them for a short period of time or in a long, committed relationship, these feelings are universal.

They can come in the form of raw heartbreak, the feeling that we’ve lost control over our happiness, a paralyzing fear that they might move on, an overwhelming desperation to get them back, or simply the pain of missing someone who used to be a constant in our life.

The trouble is, when heartbreak, control, fear, desperation, or pain are at the wheel, the desire to make ourselves feel better becomes insatiable and this will in turn start to dictate how we conduct ourselves. The solution? Setting yourself a goal.

Perhaps you’ve heard of the “No Contact Rule” but don’t know exactly what it entails, or maybe it sounds a little too counterintuitive for how you feel right now, especially if you’re holding out hope that you could still get back together . . .

Well, I’m here to tell you that’s not the case, and in this episode, I distill the best I’ve learned about breakups and the "No Contact Rule" into everything you need to know on the topic, including what you can say at different stages.
