I've chosen to read verbatim an email from one of you to illustrate — how other people think, worry, and reach out for help. I think there's something powerful in knowing that we all struggle to navigate our lives and relationships of all kinds. Even when we think there's a system for how to behave and get along rules change, there's nuance, people change. This episode is about staying curious. It's about feeling less alone because you learn there's a whole world of people trying to find a way through. It's an opportunity for you to relate and respond. Question 1: How can I be confident when the changing social standards have changed, and the proverbial “gentleman’s guide” to women has not been tweaked to reflect them? Question 2: Where are some appropriate and effective methods for finding women to connect with? Question 3: Is my goal one to be pursued actively? Should I even approach women, or should I wait for them to approach me? Question 4: How do I admit to a woman my fears when the moment comes? And how can I prepare for it and take steps to reach it without doing it the wrong way?
