(Matt Monday): If You Hear THIS From Your Long-Distance Partner... RUN!

Long-distance relationships are a tough gig. You miss each other. You feel like a separate part of their life at times. And you don’t always know when you’ll be together again. So . . . is it worth it? Well, it depends. Long-distance relationships are tough, but there are warning signs that can help tell you if it’s likely to work long-term. In fact, there’s one thing someone can SAY to you that basically guarantees a long-distance relationship won’t last, and I share it in this episode. ►► Pre-Order My New Book, "Love Life" at → http://www.LoveLifeBook.com ►► Join a Community of People Learning to Transform Their Impact with People, Their Happiness in Life and Their Love for Themselves.

(Rewind): 5 Shortcuts to Finding Love (Even if You Hate Dating)

Dating fatigue is real. Given the option, I think most people would choose to bypass the process entirely and skip directly to being in a meaningful relationship. But since science isn’t quite there yet, how can you manage your energy so the dating process—the part you need in order to FIND that relationship—doesn’t burn you out before you even GET to the good stuff? In today’s video, I share 5 tips that will help you find an energy-replenishing relationship rather than an energy-depleting one. You’ll learn how to:   • Ease into getting to know someone rather than pinning all your hopes and dreams on them. • Communicate from a place of strength rather than insecurity. • Match your investment and energy to the stage of the relationship you’re actually in. You’ll want to bookmark this video and rewatch it before any date.   * ►► Pre-Order My New Book, "Love Life" at → http://www.LoveLifeBook.com ►► Conquer Your Dating Fears and Reinvent Your Approach to Finding Love Again. * Watch the Replay of my Event, The Love Life Reset. * Find out How at . . . * → The Love Life Reset REPLAY https://lovelifereplay.com/

(Rewind): Don't Like Their Behavior? Use These 3 Simple Tips!

* If you’ve been in the early dating stages with someone, you may have noticed after a few weeks when you get one of those “uh-oh” moments. Maybe they didn't call when they said they would. Or they're a little ignorant about something that’s important to you. Or appeared to take something you did for granted. It might not be terrible behavior, but you know it’s behavior you don’t want to be a pattern for the rest of your relationship. So how do you handle the conversation without letting your emotions get the better of you? I.e. without reacting in a way that would hurt rather than help the relationship... In this week’s episode, I’m going to give 3 steps of exactly how to handle this difficult conversation, so that you can handle it in a productive way when it happens. This is how you make them want to be a better person for you... ►► Pre-Order My New Book, "Love Life" at → http://www.LoveLifeBook.com ►► Conquer Your Dating Fears and Reinvent Your Approach to Finding Love Again. * Watch the Replay of my Event, The Love Life Reset. * Find out How at . . . * → The Love Life Reset REPLAY https://lovelifereplay.com

What does it mean to truly accept every part of yourself? How do we let go of beating ourselves up for our mistakes and flaws and embrace who we are?

(Matt Monday): Are They Emotionally Unavailable? DON'T CHASE, Do THIS!

Have you fallen for someone who just can’t give you the same affection back? Emotionally unavailable people are the relationship version of junk food. You know it’s bad . . . but your addiction keeps you going back for more. This is nothing more than a formula for heartbreak. In today’s new episode, I dive into the psychology behind why we’re attracted to emotionally unavailable people, and why just because something’s scarce (such as someone’s attention) doesn’t mean it’s valuable. ►► Pre-Order My New Book, "Love Life" at → http://www.LoveLifeBook.com ►► Conquer Your Dating Fears and Reinvent Your Approach to Finding Love Again.

* Do you ignore red flags? Do you feel like you give too much in your relationships? Do you brush things under the carpet when someone violates your boundaries? If so, this week’s episode is specifically for you… The richness and depth of a true connection can only come from giving other people the chance to reciprocate your warmth, kindness, and giving nature… Because, while it might feel selfless or nurturing to pour into others without receiving in return – it can actually backfire, weaken your connection, and make you feel resentful. I promise that if you find the courage to be honest, you’ll find more satisfaction, fulfillment, and happiness in your relationships. ►► Pre-Order My New Book, "Love Life" at → http://www.LoveLifeBook.com *   * ►► Ready to Get Off the Sidelines and Back into Dating? * Join my Free Virtual Event, The Love Life Reset Reserve Your Spot Now at. . . * → http://www.LoveLifeTraining.com http://www.lovelifetraining.com/

People think going on a date with someone is simple. You dress up, groom yourself, and head to an overpriced bar. Then you talk, ask questions, blah blah blah. Gulp down a few drinks. Maybe a kiss. End of story. Well... that’s not bad. But do you really want to be just the “not bad” person in their head? Wouldn’t you rather they go home in a romantic haze, unable to take their mind off this new, unendingly fascinating person who they just pray will answer their texts the next day? Thought so. If you really want them to miss you after only 24 hours, don’t leave the first encounter without throwing in a few of these techniques... --- ►► Jumpstart Your Dating Life with My FREE Virtual Event, Love Life Reset...

Why does the end of a passionate short-term romance sometimes feel more devastating than a longer-term relationship?

In today’s episode, I’ll show you the best way to move on from a short-term romance and stop obsessing over “the person who got away.” ►► Access My Happiness After heartbreak Series for FREE by Pre-Ordering Your Copy of Love Life Now at. . . → http://www.HeartbreakSeries.com ►► Pre-Order My New Book, "Love Life" at → http://www.LoveLifeBook.com ►► FREE Video Training: “Dating With Results” → http://www.DatingWithResults.com

(Rewind): THIS Could Be Sabotaging Your Relationships . . .

* Have you ever felt insecure about something that’s happened with your partner and got yourself worked up in your mind? I have. Many times.  And when this has happened to me I know I’ve not brought up the issue in a productive way. In fact, I’ve often approached the subject in a way I later regretted.  What about you? Have you said something you wish you hadn’t? Reacted in a way you wish you could take back? It’s a horrible feeling when we “sober up” emotionally, the cloud of anger or upset subsides, and we are left with this sinking feeling that somehow we’ve just messed it all up.  If you can relate to being the kind of person whose emotions and anxieties can be easily triggered in a relationship, this epsidoe is really going to help you. Let’s take back control over those emotions and put you back in the driver’s seat. And let’s learn to use our moments of friction to make our relationships even more beautiful. --- *   * ►► Pre-Order My New Book, "Love Life" at → http://www.LoveLifeBook.com * ►► Deep down, if you know there’s something missing in your love life, your career, or your personal life.
