I had a great chat with Andrew Wilkinson, who is trying to change how we think about dating. He has a lot of experience with dating apps and loves learning how to make himself better. We talked about how dating apps can be parasitic and how they try to keep us hooked. Andrew wants to change how we use dating apps and encourages real-life activities with a funny anecdote about Salsa dancing. We discussed being a 'Nice Guy' and how lying can cause problems. We also talked about how being real and honest helps to make real friends.
I discussed something Andrew calls the 'darkest timeline you.' This idea makes us think about the worst future we could have. We can use this idea to help us make better choices and avoid bad ones. We also discussed how doing things with friends and using online platforms can help us make deeper friendships. Lastly, we talked about how tracking progress can help us get better and how coaches can help us. Get ready for a talk full of surprising dating tips and unique ideas about self-improvement.
