Welcome back to the How to Get a Girlfriend podcast. I'm your host, dating coach, Conal Barrett. I'm the real life Hitch. If Hitch was a skinny, nerdy ginger who looked like the lead singer from Weezer. Thank you for being with me. I'm here to help you get a great girlfriend and do it by being authentic and flirting with confidence and do it from a place of integrity and heart and not having to use a bunch of sketchy, toxic nonsense of pickup artist moves and being a fake alpha male and all that BS that's out there.

So I'm glad you're with me. I know you have 8 million podcast options, and thank you for spending time with me today. This is a coaching episode. You're going to meet Jack, and Jack is struggling with a problem. You might know this problem. Jack is hitting coaching episode. You're going to meet Jack, and Jack is struggling with a problem. You might know this problem. Jack is hitting the three-date wall. He's getting to the third date or less, and women are saying, hey, Jack, you're a great guy. Let's be friends. I'm not feeling it. I'm not feeling those sparks, and Jack did not know why. And in this episode, I help him understand why. I see the matrix. And I think I effectively was able to diagnose the issues that were kind of hidden and give him a roadmap that's going to absolutely take his dating results to the next level so he can get a great girlfriend.

And you might be thinking, all right, is it really possible to go from hitting the three-date wall to having a woman look at you by the end of the third date and saying, I want this guy to be my boyfriend? Can you really get a woman to become your girlfriend by three dates? And the answer is yes, or at least to see you as boyfriend material by three dates. And then even in some instances, actually have a woman say, I just want to, I only want to date you. I know this because it happened to me a couple of times. Here's a quick story. I want to tell you about Donna, a woman named Donna, my ex-girlfriend, now ex.

And Donna, I met Donna. Our first date was a couple quick glasses of wine at a bar. It was very fun, very flirty, very light. The second date was, by the way, I'm giving you what I call the boyfriend experience. The three-date arc for how we get a woman to see you as boyfriend material and the man she wants in her life by the end of date three. So date number one, keep it light and fun and flirty, just like I did with Donna. Date number two, open up a bit more. Be more vulnerable, more real. Drop a lot of the playful, fun, flirty stuff.

Not all of it, but drop a lot of it and be a lot more genuine and sincere and authentic and vulnerable because that will help her see even more of the real you. And for date number three of the boyfriend experience, it's about bringing her into your world. So for example, I talk about this in today's episode. With Donna, I said to myself, I want her to be my girlfriend. And for our third date, I brought her to my pub trivia team, Trivia Newton John. I wanted her to see what it was like to be with me, not just on a date, but hanging out with my friends, doing pub trivia, nerding out with other improv people. And by the end of that third date, she basically said to me, hey, just so you know,

I don't want to see anybody else. I really like you. She essentially said, I want to be your girlfriend. And within a date or two, it was official. So that is the quick overview of the boyfriend experience, the three-date arc to help you turn that woman you're really into into your girlfriend by three dates or so. So enjoy my conversation with Jack. I hope you love it. And here we go. Hey, Jack. All right, man, let's get to it. Tell me about your dating life. What are you struggling with? How can I help you, man? Hey, Connell. So I feel I have a hard time with starting a relationship. So basically, when I'm dating a girl early on, it can be pretty easy. I can get a few dates here and there.

But when I really start liking a girl, sometimes I feel like I'm pushing her away. I have that issue launching into that actual relationship versus a few dates. And I feel like it's easier for me to go further with women that maybe I don't feel that really good, strong connection with yet because it feels easy, less pressure. But when I'm like, oh, God, I do like this girl, I feel like I'm kind of pushing her away. So I guess my first question is, how do I move from that courting stage to a full-blown relationship? Great question. Help me out a little bit. Tell me a story. If you have a good example from your past with a woman, feel free to change her first name for privacy. But if you want to give a quick anecdote about, oh yeah, Connell, Jenny and I dated for XYZ dates and then things went cold. Can you give an example of you struggling with this from the past yeah for sure so fairly recently there's a there's a girl i went i went on maybe three dates with i actually saw her you know um a couple times after that like she invited me to her birthday party and all that um but i felt like early on it was she was really

into me and i was i was like maybe i was at the beginning figuring out you know um well how do i feel because i mean you sometimes have a good first date. Maybe I get in my own head sometimes too. But then you get to your second date and you're like, oh yeah, okay, that was real. That first date was good. The second date's good. Third date's going well. So with this girl, we went on three dates. And then after the third date, the way I was reading her reaction, I thought everything was going well. In my mind, I'm like, okay, I'm really starting to like this girl. How do I take this further? But then it kind of got a little stale where she maybe didn't start texting as much.

She was busy all the time. And I get she does have a busy schedule, but when you're busy all the time, then you start realizing, maybe you're kind of blowing me off here and there right and you know she's washing her hair a lot this week yeah she must have really clean hair yeah exactly okay and has this been a pattern you've seen has this happened multiple times with multiple women two or three dates in they just kind of lose that you lose that steam with them yeah yeah it's this isn't the first time that's why you know this is the most recent time And then two or three dates in, they just kind of lose that. You lose that steam with them. Yeah, yeah.

This isn't the first time. That's why this is the most recent time. But yeah, it's after a few dates. And I'm like, oh, man, I start liking her. But then on the other side of the coin, if there's a girl that I'm like, oh, you know, I'm meh. It just seems easier. And I feel like then there's something that I'm doing that's pushing her away that maybe she's like reading that oh god this guy is starting to like me maybe it's scaring her off i don't know i'm i'm making guesses i just noticed a pattern with with my dating that right let me ask you a couple of diagnostic questions yeah think back to any of these women

who let's call it the for lack of a better term, phrase I've used with other clients, is the three-date friend zone. It's not that she doesn't want to see you after that first date. It's just that two or three dates in, a woman basically goes quiet, which is her way of saying, I don't see you as boyfriend material. That's my interpretation. And I assume you're looking for a girlfriend, I assume? Yeah. Yeah, good. You're on the right podcast. It's called How to Get a assume yeah yeah good you're on the right podcast

it's called how to get a girlfriend so in the right place okay so let me ask you a couple of diagnostic questions how on what date do you typically go for and get the first kiss um so I guess it depends on the date so uh and how i'm reading the girl but a lot of times it's either the first or second okay in my case yeah got it and give me some examples of what you and this most recent woman did to call her jane jane doe what you and jane did for these three dates if you recall yeah so the first day uh we got sushi kind of a like spot that was kind of close to us um and drove separate um and then we made plans oh we actually got like uh the date was going well so we went and got a uh a coffee after after sushi uh and got some

desserts and just talked all that and then uh drove back to her car and then we made plans to do a second date in the car um and then um but we were texting and saying like oh maybe we can uh meet a day before because she was starting to get busy with her with her work so we just kind of did a preemptive because she doesn't she didn't live that far away so we kind of did an improv hang out uh uh go go to a coffee shop got margaritas we're in the downtown area um just kind of hung out and then we didn't get to do the third date because she got busy um and then we did another actual third date where i took her to like a cider mill, had some drinks. Okay. Yeah.

All that. Okay. So you're doing some things well already. So first we just want to eliminate potential problems that can cause that third date friend zone. Yeah. One is that you're not even making any moves. You're not trying to go for a kiss.

You're not giving her fun, different dates, which you are, which is good. Okay. So we can cross out the list. Okay. Yeah, that's good. Sometimes it's good to eliminate things that aren't the issue. And it sounds like another thing, here's a good truism.

Women want to feel like things are progressing emotionally, sexually at whatever speed she wants but some kind of progress women want the feeling of progress in terms of of two people connecting and seeing who they are and that's also emotional sexual romantic all the different ways you can quote unquote escalate and lead that dating dance can you tell me a little bit about how you feel like, do you feel like women are feeling that sense of forward progress or at least that you're trying to give them that forward progress? Or do you feel like you might be getting stuck in some areas? Um, I think a little bit of both. I think there's definitely, uh, some things I can improve on that I'm probably getting stuck at that maybe I don't realize, but I see where you're coming from. I

never thought about that way where you're kind of moving forward but i think i kind of naturally try to do that because you don't want to i don't know for lack of uh or way to phrase it i'm not trying to go backwards right um so i mean this case i don't i don't we don't have to get fixated on this one specific girl but uh it did seem like we did start off really heavy the first date and then uh the second date was kind of casual kind of because it was an improv date you know we didn't really uh plan too much uh which was fine but i thought by the third date it was kind of i was trying to show like progressing like you know maybe holding hands while we're listening to the music at this, at this place,

this, this outdoor mill and there's live music going on. Um, so I guess I don't know where I would need to, I don't, I guess I don't know in this case what I didn't do. No, I agree. I'm not hearing that you're, I had guys say oh connell she ditched me after three dates and i said oh well when did you kiss her he's like well i didn't kiss her yet or so or we went to three straight bar dates three dates in a row and basically it felt the same women like that sense of variety and forward progress um so but i'm not hearing that here but i feel like you just went hmm about something what'd you say what were you gonna say no i agree um so so when you go on three dates

with a girl and you haven't you know you feel like you haven't progressed you haven't even kissed her yet then i in my in my shoes i would think maybe she's not interested and i'd maybe feel like i was in the friend zone but each time like we i mean i did kiss her the first date this time second and third date but okay you know, but opposite this situation. Yeah, go for it. You don't need to play kiss and tell, although you can, it's an adult podcast. Did it get hotter and heavier as you went along? Or was it kind of like the same kind of kissing level of intensity all three times?

Gotcha. No, that's, that's a good question. I don't mind. i don't mind i want to share this time uh with this particular girl it was kind of the opposite of um where the first time i was a little more conservative and she uh kissed a lot like wanted to she got really into it we were you know in the car um it was we were kissing for a while uh but then the two times after that i mean we we did kiss and it wasn't as in my mind i'm kind of like why didn't we do that um but you know i don't i don't know so i don't know if maybe she lost interest somewhere down the line i don't know i can't

read people's minds maybe i'm just trying to figure out what what i can do because again this is the most recent time but it's a pattern that i notice okay gotcha and one one final diagnostic question here that's the sexual piece of it what about emotionally yeah in terms of two people talking and becoming increasingly vulnerable increasingly emotional i don't mean like crying and weeping about the day your cat died when you were nine although sorry for your loss i mean um here here's the perfect arc of three dates okay i'm not perfect but here's a great ideal arc date number, it's really fun, playful, and a lot of flirty, great stimulation, and nice brushstrokes of vulnerability. And of course, authenticity, showing her that real you, that

real Jack. But at the same time, if we're talking about a cake, it's a lot of frosting. It tastes really good. And the second date, we give her more cake, really start to open up, become more vulnerable, start to give her what I call the boyfriend experience. Boyfriend experience is paint pictures and give women sort of snapshots of what life would be like as your partner, because that's what you want with her potentially right and the third date is essentially if the two of you are have relatively the same

life goals and are relatively each other's type then by the third date we want the two of you feeling like oh wow we have a lot in common emotionally. I get who he is and he gets who I am, but we also have that nice romantic, sexy vibe. And you basically get the frosting and the cake. Sometimes when a girl goes quiet after three dates, she doesn't get enough frosting, meaning not enough fun, flirtiness, those emotions she wants to feel, or she doesn't get enough cake. It was fun and flirty and a good time, but she doesn't see the real you and she can't see a vision of you with her. So through my just made up in my head cake metaphor, what do you feel like these women are

tasting on these dates? Oh, good question, Beck. And I like your cake metaphor, by the way. It's easy for me to understand that. Trademark, patent pending. Gotcha, yeah, maybe. This podcast is sponsored by Duncan Hines. No, it should be though. I'm sorry, go ahead.

No, no, you're good. So I guess that's something, I guess I haven't thought about it that way, which I'm glad we're having this conversation because i'm putting a whole nother perspective on this now uh if i look back in this recent case um i guess i guess i maybe i didn't give enough cake i guess um maybe i didn't open up because maybe sometimes i get a little bit scared if I do start liking a girl like oh no maybe I'm gonna scare her off if I get to a certain level but I guess I have to come with the realization that if it's really gonna scare her off by getting uh a little revealing a little bit more about myself then probably won't work out in the long run okay so feel like it was too much frosting not enough cake i guess so yeah if i'm thinking if

i'm thinking back yeah okay maybe maybe here's a let me give you some real world examples from my dating past of what this might look like date one just have a shit ton of fun giggle and laugh and flirt and tease and all the things that I teach and all the things that we can do. And I'm not saying it's all frosting, but we just want it to be a blast for both of you. So that we hook each other's kind of emotional, we strum each other's emotional chords. And then for the second date, you want to open up a bit more. And you want to be a bit more vulnerable if you weren't on the first date. So it's on that second date where you might start to share a bit more about your past. You might tell a story, a vulnerable, authentic story about something meaningful from your past

and really open up. I remember on my second date with my then future girlfriend, Jessica, I talked about being a fat little boy and getting picked on, having a big ginger red afro and getting teased. And I told some stories where I really opened up. And that's more like second date, sort of like be vulnerable conversation. At the same time on the second date, here's something kind of really practical I want to give you to do. Start painting pictures for things that you and she can do in the future or that you might do in the future. Talk about weekend getaways.

I'm not saying ask her for one. That would be a little too soon. But I'm saying, oh, man, if you and I could go anywhere for a getaway weekend, where would that be? You can kind of paint a picture of what life with you would be like. Here's a great way to do it. On my second date with my, let me switch to a different girlfriend, second date with my then future girlfriend, Donna, I wanted, I did what I call, I gave her the boyfriend experience. The boyfriend, no, I'm not a male prostitute. That's not what that is. The boyfriend experience is shifting from frosting to cake, shifting from teasing, flirty,

stimulation, which feels great, but it's a sugar rush it's not really nutritional shifting to something more boyfriend experience and on my second date with my with donna she and i i said i said i want to bring her into my world and so it just so happened that the team i was doing pub trivia with at that point we were having pub pub trivia night. So I invited her into my social circle and I wanted her to meet my friends. And I wanted her to, she literally sat with my trivia team, Trivia Newton John is her name. And I just wanted her to meet my nerdy friends, my improv friends and my trivia friends. And I wanted her to see what life would be like with me. And that's something you can play around with is introduce her on a

second or potentially a third date to your friends or to a social setting and kind of really give her a glimpse of what it might be like to be your girlfriend. Another date idea that you could do to help give that boyfriend experience is for date two or three, instead of another drinks date or another kind of typical first date, do something more boyfriend, do more boyfriend girlfriend stuff together. Take a yoga class with her or tell her, hey, I need to go grocery shopping. Do you want to come with me? And then we can make dinner afterwards. That's a boyfriend-girlfriend thing to do. And that's kind of you're giving her a snapshot of what it would be like to be with you.

And that way, you're also breaking the pattern of what she's used to getting from guys, which is, OK, drinks, and then a putt-putt and then a hike. I'm like, no, do something more. Bring her into your world. Bringing her into your world is a great way to get a woman to see, oh, wow, this is what it might be like to be Jack's girlfriend. And if she likes it, she'll be in. And if she doesn't, or if you're just not each other's type, that okay that's not everybody is but then you're not getting in the friend zone so much as you're finding out she's telling you or maybe you're telling her oh wait we don't really fit as a couple but at least you're

going to know that quickly and you can both move on yeah thoughts comments about any of that uh no um that's a good way to put it because i guess it's like if you want it if you have a good first date and you're thinking the second date you want to just keep if it was good you want to keep that going right you want to get that mentality going so now my mind i'm thinking i'm shifting it a little bit because you're right why waste the the time? Why do the frosting treatment if it's not going to come to be anything? So I see what you're saying. That makes sense to me how you put that. So I appreciate the cake analogy, I guess, once again, but I'm hungry. I know. Right. Right. No. So you need some sort of substance and that makes sense. And maybe in the case of this this girl, if she wasn't getting cake or any pieces that I was giving her, maybe it was an indication that maybe she wasn't interested.

Although, I mean, I can't ask this, but it's just frustrating. Like, I wish that I just got the hey, I'm not interested. Thank you. But that's just not how it works all the time with, with, with people. Um, you mean you, you wish that she'd be more direct instead of what did she do? I mean, I mean, it's kind of, it's lingered. Like, I don't know. I still, I've still messaged her here and there, but now, yeah, she's on, she's on vacation seeing family for, for a month. So she's out of the area so um yeah but i don't think there's really anything there because i've tried to reach out a couple times and i'm not trying to look desperate or needy or anything like that so

i don't really well my rule about that is with any woman you're into assert your ideal outcome until you and she get it in a win-win way and then everybody's happy or until you get clear evidence that it will not happen defining clear evidence to me that would be a straight up hey i'm not looking to date right now or i'm not interested or then the polite code for that is hey i'm not looking to date which is code for I'm not feeling about you the way I want to feel. And I'm not saying that wouldn't sting. I've heard that many times, but at least it's clarity. Or in your case, two or three, I would say three good swings at the plate of you trying to see her again. And if you go over three and each time she does not suggest a different time

or date, then I would also consider that evidence and move on for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It makes sense. I think you're probably doing that, but some guys give up too soon.

Not, not the listener of this podcast, but some guys are like, Oh, you know, don't get, don't give up after one on unreturned effort. But at the same time, you know, you're not going to try five times because that would be needy.

You struggle with dating, right? Sure, you have a good job and cool friends, but you just aren't sure how to flirt. The apps don't work for you. And sometimes women put you in the friend zone. It's frustrating. Hey, I struggled with dating too. As an introvert and a total nerd, I didn't just live in the friend zone,

I owned real estate there. But I escaped. Using the dating philosophy of radical authenticity, which I've used to help thousands of men in 17 countries find love. It's what I wrote about in my best-selling book, Dating Sucks But You Don't. And radical

authenticity is why psychology today called me the best dating coach in America. And now I want to personally help you attract your dream girlfriend.

So go to datingtransformation.com, book a free call today, and let my personalized coaching help you get a great girlfriend. To me, persistence plus charm is the secret sauce here of getting an answer.

It's like, oh, hey, Jenny, Janie, whatever. I just thought I'd take one last shot at seeing you again before I head off to Myanmar to become a monk and give up on women. Would you like to go out again? I'd love to see you again. Please circle yes, no, or restraining order. If you talk to a woman with humor and charm, there's nothing creepy about that. There's nothing needy about that.

What's needy is, hey, did you get my message? Hey, do you not like me? Do you have an inflatable woman i could date you know that would be needy we don't want that that's not you i know but um a high value great man a business consultant a successful traveling businessman in his 30s with his life together good looking cool overall life you are a massive value proposition. So it's never needy and, and lame to take a shot at romance as long as you're persistent. And also, you know, when to stop, which would be two or three swings and then no answer.

I see. And, uh, thank you for all the compliments. I didn't even pay you. I'm trying to give you some frosting, man. You know what I'm saying? I appreciate it even pay you. I'm trying to give you some frosting, man. You know what I'm saying? I appreciate it. Thank you. I guess I have another kind of follow-up question, too. So I guess one thing I've also noticed as well, as you get older, and as you mentioned,

so I do travel for work a decent amount, not too much where it's very hard for me to control my personal life. But I sometimes get in a situation where I get busy or she gets busy and then I seem like I'm hitting it off with a girl and I'm texting her. I feel like I maybe struggle with that because it's like, man, I feel like I messed up an opportunity just because her timing wasn't there. So I don't know how to kind of keep a good conversation going when you don't really know her quite yet. Any, any, any girl. So maybe like I call it maybe long distance, quote unquote, but it's just really, you know, struggling with that part. Okay. You're talking about a woman you've maybe had a date with or

maybe matched with online or what's the context? So I've written this a couple of different times, right? So I guess a scenario would be, I haven't met her yet. Or I went on one date with her. So it's still early. So how do I kind of capture and keep the momentum going when you're not seeing each other? Because I feel like it's hard because because now I'm a block of text versus a personality. That's all you are, Jack. You're a block of text. That's all I see you as. I would say, let's look at a couple different common contexts.

So like a new match on Hinge or Bumble or whatever profile, whatever app. But you just aren't going to be able to see her right away well you got to strike while the iron is hot as much as you have the power to do so so try to get her out on a date if possible within seven days much longer than seven days the iron goes cold so if that's possible if it's not possible then at least get her off of the app as quickly as possible and get some communication going back and forth and try to

make a nice strong imprint. So in other words, instead of just being a block of text, you could send a 10 second funny little video. Think of it almost like social media. Okay. If you have not met her yet, trying to stay on her stay on her mind you could send her audio little audio messages or quick little videos as long as you're offering value but by offering value i just mean you're seeking to make her smile you're trying to make her day better her night better and coming from a place of i want to give a great dating experience to you and if as long as you're doing that that's not needy okay what's needy is is being the guy who's trying to take all the time or only asking needy questions so giving value

funny little videos i've had many long distance or kind of like slower burning starts to a relationship or to that first date the strategies i used are what the ones i'm talking about funny 10 second video which i live in new york city there's funny weird people on the street all the time there's a there's like a weird kind of street guy in the subway who like dances with this skeleton i mean fake skeleton um he does it for tips and stuff so it's like he's not mentally ill i mean he's like a street performer but just a weird visual so i have like a 10 second video i used to send girls i'm like hey here's how we should dance on our first date and then the video of this guy dancing with a skeleton it's

just giving her different ways to take you in besides that block of text so quick little video quick little audio messages and a lot of times when you go first because you're the man your job is to go first and lead the dating dance then a woman is like oh well i'll send him videos i'll send him audios and you guys start escalating the conversation and that keeps her interested makes sense that makes sense yeah um gave me an idea yeah uh what's that so i guess so i did start i'm actually traveling because i'm going to a wedding um so i mean and i did match with somebody and i um am having this you situation, right? So we, we are on Snapchat. Um,

so if I just sent maybe like a, not the same thing, but we snap here and there, but just a quick video of something funny or, you know, a quick little, little message, um,

here and there. But, um, from like from the wedding, I mean, yeah, that too. I mean,

weddings, you know, yeah, that too. Weddings? You know weddings are chick crack. Oh my God. What's the best thing to film at a wedding then? What's the best little clip? Weddings turn everyone, especially women, into human heart eye emojis. They're fun.

Yeah. I never used it in dating because I just met my girlfriend, but at my niece's wedding, I have this great video of my niece's grandmother, um, dancing little old lady dancing with me and she grabs my ass. It's hilarious. And so I think I said that to my girlfriend early on, but if I was dating, I could have sent that to girls and be like, Oh my God, check out the old ladies trying to pinch my butt. But I'm not saying try to get an old woman to pinch your butt. But like a 10-second video of you tearing up the dance floor, doing the robot, being silly, or everybody applauds as the bride and groom comes in. I don't know, just a little moment that just says wedding fun

will help the woman who you're talking to feel almost like she's with you. And you're also giving her a glimpse into your life, which is part of the boyfriend experience of how to get a girlfriend. So yeah, exactly, exactly. So she wants to see that life. I think maybe back to your first question from this coaching call, maybe just like giving women a more vivid glimpse

into what a fun, awesome, warm, cool life you have. And that's what they want. They want to be a good, authentic, confident gentleman's plus one in life. And so that's just big picture. Philosophically, that's how you want to do it. But back to the wedding. Yeah. Take some fun.

Get somebody to video you on the dance floor dancing like a total tool. And I mean that in a good way. Or maybe you have great dance moves. I don't. I have horrible dance moves. That's great. If it's entertaining, I'm all for it. Women love to dance.

I have a client, Benjamin, who started a 22-person conga line at a bar a couple weeks ago. He was just like, yeah, it was great. It was great. Record it next time. Anyway, back to your question about keeping conversation going. If it's a match, you got to strike while the iron is hot, but get her off the app. Because as soon as you get her off the app, then you've graduated. Try to get her off the app to either phone number or Instagram or Snap or however, whatever

is easiest for both of you. Because now you've graduated from her literally dozens or maybe hundreds of likes and matches. Now you're that one guy you're texting with. So that helps. Fair point. You were also asking about, oh, what about when you've had one date, but there's going to be a long lag until the second, how to keep that going, right?

Yeah, absolutely. Cool. What's your current strategy? How do you do it that going, right? Yeah, absolutely. Cool. What's your current strategy? How do you do it, if at all? Oh, God. That's why I'm asking you so many questions. So I guess I wondered maybe if there's a knowing what you've already been doing that might be working or what's not working.

And I'll say, oh, don't do that. Fair enough. No, I understand. No, I guess I didn't really have like a strategy because i'm like um two things i mean sometimes i just live in my own head too much right and i and i'm i'm overthinking and i'm like oh am i doing the right thing constantly just with just with every aspect of of of uh like work dating all that stuff okay um so i'm constantly worrying like am i being too pushy? Am I texting too much?

Am I not doing enough? That's your definition of being in your head, right? Yeah. I mean, essentially overthinking. Yeah. Is this the right thing to text? Is this being too pushy? Is it being too needy?

Am I sending in too much, not enough? Is that what your definition of in your head is? Yeah. I don't want to scare you away because I'm too interested, but yet I don't want to seem uninterested. Great, let's fix this forever right now. Ready? Perfect.

So simple. Stop asking all those stupid questions. Not that you're stupid, but they're stupid questions. I know because I invented some of them, I think. Perfected asking dumb questions. Stop asking all those questions and instead ask yourself a very simple question.

What can I message her that will make her smile? All you have to ask. What can I give her of value that might make her smile? And if you come up with something, and it can be as silly as a funny little video from the wedding, or a good question that you know she'll like you to ask because it's something she cares about or a funny dog video, you cannot come off as try hard or needy or over the top as long as it's relatively 50-50, 60-40. We want her to help a little bit, right? But what's needy is, think about, I'll try to boil it down to four words. Here's how to text women. Give, give, give, and then every so often ask. So give, give, give, ask. Give messages that make her smile,

or might, or that hold interest in something she cares about, or that might make her giggle or that are flirtatious, or that are cool, fun updates about your life. Mr. Traveler, you're seeing all these cool sites. Every trip you go on, I want you sending your current best dating lead, hey, a picture of the prime rib and beautiful sundae you're eating for dinner. It's like, I'll bet my meal, I'll bet my dinner kicks your dinner's butt. That's value because

you're giving her a window into your life because you're a high value guy. As long as you're giving value, you're not needy. And you can't send too many of those messages. We want them to be roughly 50-50 or at least 60-40-ish. But no woman's ever said, damn it, this guy is just sending me too many funny, awesome, charming messages. What a loser. It's never happened. That's a great point.

I know. Stop being so charming and flirty. Go away. That does not happen. Yes. She might not be your type. I'm not saying she's going to be the one. But basically give.

It's needy is asking for only what you want. So yeah, stop worrying about that and start focusing on, hey, what might make her smile? Make sense? I gotcha. Yeah, that makes sense. I think I definitely fall into and maybe was self-aware um that asking questions sometimes just i don't want to be interviewing somebody and when somebody kind of said interviewing like a girl that you're trying to date that sound that's that's off-putting to me so that was something i

always wanted to avoid and the way that you kind of said give give, give, give, ask, that flips the script. That's something that actually gives me context of, hey, that's a good thing to kind of put in your brain and practice it. Just even with everyday people, honestly, too. I've never been a big texter. But nowadays, texting is everything, right? You have to communicate to everybody that way.

Let me, let's talk about to communicate to everybody that way. Let's talk about ways to give value by text. Let's get some practical ways. And hopefully I gave some already. I have a 10-second dog video that I've sent to 100 women. It's two dogs. This is a video I took in my old neighborhood. And it's just two dogs in a convertible, little car toy convertible. And, you know, they're cute.

They're two little fluffy dogs. And it looks like they're driving a car, dog road trip. So it's a 10 second video I took organically out in the world in New York City. And I've sent that to many, many, many women. And I've said, oh, my God, watch out for the crazy drivers. These guys almost ran me off the road. That's value. It makes you smile.

So anything, yeah, cute little pet. Do you have pets? I don't, but I love dogs. Everybody that I know, my friends, brothers, all that, they have dogs. I love them. Yeah. Yeah. Great. Great.

Little photos or little videos or photos from your life of you doing something cool and a little bit high status. Think almost like Instagram vibes of fear of missing out. Like the amazing view of the rooftop bar where you are on one of your work trips 10 second you could send that to a woman that's a give that's a value text because you're not asking her for anything you're just trying to give her something that might make her interested or smile or maybe feel jealous but even that's in a way that's giving um after you once you've had a date with a woman if you know her at least a little bit then you have more to go on and you can had a date with a woman, if you know her at least a little bit,

then you have more to go on and you can flirt a little bit more. I mean, not that you need to wait until a first date to flirt, but let's say you've had a good first date, you kissed, and you, you know, I'm just making this up. I just made this up right now, but you send um a picture of the sunset uh at a really cool i don't know hotel bar where you're staying on a road trip and uh you know you might say i wish you were here you know smile it can be sincere can be genuine can be kind of sweet lovey-dovey can be a little sincere or very sincere um basically anything that might make her smile or make her or make her laugh and um it's different from person to person or maybe you have in jokes

yeah okay that you actually those are the best value texts texts that you know are personalized for her based on what you know about her i have a client who, he just had a first date with a woman and on their first date, they were talking about chat GPT because he's a huge nerd. And they talked a lot about chat GPT and she was actually interested in the topic. So I had him like write up a flirty chat gpt search it was like hey chat gpt how what's the perfect thing to send a really cute girl who smells fantastic and you want to ask her out for the second date can you give me some help and i had him take a screenshot and send that to her i see okay see so he's with her, calling back on something that they talked about.

Chat GPT. Technically, that's an ask. But actually, you're giving in order to ask at the same time. So let me ask you, what are some ways you might? Let's pick any. You can pick a hypothetical woman or a woman you're interested in right now. But what are some ways you could text her that would make her smile or give that value i got you um i mean so getting to know somebody uh and having some sort of like inside joke or

i don't know maybe like like uh putting me on the spot hold on one sec um um sometimes i do like a little like a little tease like kind of um uh like i'm not trying to not like a dig just kind of like a uh just kind of like uh you told me some sort of thing like uh i'm trying to think of like a recent time um oh um so like one of the girls i was dating she went to ireland for a while and i teased her like oh yeah totally have like an irish accent you know um or something something like that you know along the lines something like small um but the inside jokes or something that you've talked about that makes a lot of sense um and i've used that it's definitely harder when it's a profile and you've gone on either just one date uh or no dates that i do struggle with that a little bit

how do you how do you like do you have a good strategy for playfully teasing women no i was actually going to ask that for a question so i I guess because you kind of said something that kind of triggered this question. But I guess I'm having a hard time with like flirty texts or kind of moving to flirtiness. Because back of my mind, I'm like, oh, maybe that's going to come across wrong. Or maybe we're not there yet. So maybe I have a hard time jumping in and i also don't know what to say that would come across as like romantic or flirty um i do struggle with that part that's cool oh good let's talk about that so teasing is a powerful effective tool that

works often but not with every girl and it's not like every woman loves it but some of them do love it and so it's certainly something to test drive with a given woman just to see how she likes it because that might be her kind of flirting vibe okay yeah so it's good to tease or at least it's good to test the waters so don't be afraid of testing those waters she doesn't like it it won't quote work or it might not resonate, but that's not necessarily going to blow you out with her. It just might not be. That's just not her style, her vibe.

Don't fast forward. This is not an ad. It's a free thing that's going to help you flirt with confidence because I'll bet that you struggle with what to say to women and how to flirt, right?

You're about to start confidently flirting with women going on dates and soon getting a great girlfriend. Go get your flirty 30. So let's again,

protect people's anonymity, but can you think of any women, you know, or recently knew that we could talk a little bit about a date you had, or you could have teased her or taken some information about her like let's let's uh or we can just do a hypothetical girl or you can use a real woman but we'll just change her name how about that yeah okay okay um let's see tell me about a woman change her name anyway for privacy and then but otherwise you can kind of

just keep it legit about her what's her job what are what's her favorite music does she have dogs what are her hobbies basically that the art of flirting is find surface level things to joke about surface level things like her favorite band is i don't know uh she loves michael buble god help her and you tease her about that so i can't be with a woman who likes michael buble i'm sorry i it's not this won't work out but we can be friends you know you can do something like that so think like like surface level interests and tastes or think like quirky little behaviors that you notice like uh she's clumsy or she drops i was on a date once where she dropped this really expensive piece of sushi cost me like i'm like

that cost you twelve dollars hope you know that i that. I'm going to Venmo you after this date. It's going to get very expensive for you. And the next day I'm texting her, hey, did you, were you able to eat lunch today or did you just keep dropping the fork? So that's like, so you're teasing surface level things. You're not teasing like hardcore things. Like, not that you would do this but you're not like um making jokes about well you sure drink a lot are you an alcoholic you wouldn't do that uh okay those are some examples

let's let's get back to this woman you're imagining what are some ways we you could tease her or might have teased her whoever we're talking about um gotcha yeah um So I guess with this, I guess I can just use this recent girl. So she's Spanish, so I guess sometimes, so I was also, before I even met her, I started learning a little Spanish too. So I would kind of make fun of her a little bit with some of the things she said. But also to kind of, I don't want to sound like, you know, it's really challenging to learn another language, right? Sure. So I also mentioned like, hey, even though you're bad at that, I'm way worse at speaking Spanish, you know. Okay. Just little things like that. I mean, it's stuff. Here's what you could try with little things like that. I mean, it's stuff.

Here's what you could try with a woman like that. When you're on a date with a woman where English is her second language, you can have a little accent competition. See if she can do an American accent and tease her if it's bad or praise her if it's good.

And then be vulnerable. You can say, let's have a competition. Let's see who does a better accent of the other person. Okay, I can see that. That sounds fun. Yeah, I went to London years ago, and I remember approaching a lot of women, and the thing that my coach had me doing at the time was,

I would say this to women. I'd say, okay by the way forgive my terrible london act roma english accent but i'd meet a woman and you know she's you know she did have a british accent and i'd say okay repeat after me i would like to buy this cheeseburger with my credit card and then i would have her say it. It would be terrible, but it would be really cute because she's trying. I would tease her about the accent. I would try my British accent, which is terrible.

We would laugh about it. You could tease about things like that. Tease about pronunciations of words. My ex, my then girlfriend, Alex, more of a girl. It wasn't exclusive. Anyway, my ex my then girlfriend uh alex more of a girl i was in it was wasn't exclusive but anyway my ex alex um she couldn't pronounce the word rural she would say rule i teased her about that she liked it um any thought any more thoughts about how you might tease women or well here's a

simple way to think about this yeah do you bust your friends balls guy friends oh all the time it's what kind of stuff do you tease them about i mean we get brutal you know but that's these are friends that i've known since i was in high school elementary yeah give me some brutal examples from how you tease your friends i'm not saying they're right i just love to hear a couple examples because the whole idea about being authentic and letting women see that real true you is a great way to think about it as, well, if I want to tease people, how do I do it already in my life with people I know?

And there might be some applicable ways that we can do it with women. So how do you roast your friends? One of my good friends, I mean, he's pretty short and he's he's he's balding so okay just give him a shit for that you know um and i don't i don't uh i don't i don't sugarcoat but he knows i'm joking sure so stuff like that and then um um so okay i wouldn't go the bald route with a girl no she's not bald but you know what uh yeah the

short thing there's something there i've my girlfriend's about five two five three i think i might have said we i i totally roast her now but she i know on our first date i think i said something like look at you you're like fun size yeah i don't know whether to ask you out or hang you on a christmas tree as an ornament or pass out for halloween yeah yeah um so basically it's a short joke but because it's playful and meant with good intention it's not like a nag it's like busting balls any other ways you tease your friends um so uh i don't know i just i grew up in a very teasing like family just i just do annoying things to like uh um just just to like get attention like poke the back of the neck just just people that i know

i'm comfortable with i just i just like to get like under the neck just just people that i know i'm comfortable with i just i just like to get like under the skin a little bit and i'm just like i'm bugging them um but that's again that's i don't know that's not something i'm going to do to a stranger wait i wouldn't say you know yeah i wouldn't say poke her yeah i think the easiest thing to do would be to just get present, listen to the conversation that you're having with a woman and look for little idiosyncrasies. Yeah. Look for light things that like taste. What your favorite movie is, is Legally Blonde.

I mean, it's okay, but it's not the Godfather. You know, you could tease like that um or a girl that gets she says scary she can't watch scary movies because she's too scared and i roll my eyes i'm like they're not that scary i'm totally right i want to i want to see how much you jump when you're watching scary movie right um stuff like that okay so i okay so I got some good examples of teasing, but what I guess is another way to be flirty other than teasing? Oh, sure.

Oh, there's a thousand, 10,000 ways to flirt. We just want to choose some simple avenues that are aligned with your authentic you so that you're not doing... I don't want you to be some cocky teasing jerk type if that's not who you are that's not who i am but i am a smart ass so i want women to see my smart ass side you might not be a natural smart ass like i am that's okay um let me give you a couple simple ways to flirt like the simplest ways in the world and they're super powerful

i think the simplest and i don't tell me if you do this is just using clear simple statements of of i call them clear flirtatious statements of intent of romantic interest basically using your words calling a woman sexy letting her know she's sexy or something she said or did was really sexy or cool or complimenting her in some other way. You've probably heard this tip, so forgive me if I'm repeating something, but I think it bears repeating. Something I want virtually every man to do on every first date, if he means it, is to look a woman in the eye and notice a trait about something sexy about her the woman inside and tell her that you know what's really sexy about you jessica you are so adventurous

i love that you just got up and went backpacking, went to Europe on two days notice and went backpacking. That is so adventurous. It's really sexy. I don't meet people like that often. So telling her she's sexy, not just because of her beautiful eyes or her nice figure, which is nice, but she knows that probably. Telling her something about her is sexy. Oh my God. Women love that. So clear statements of flirtatious interest you only need one or two per date you don't need like 10 right okay what kind of what so what kind of clear romantic flirtatious statements do you make on first dates if any i guess first like especially a first date i guess uh i'm nervous too uh so i usually don't well there you go this is absolutely

contributing i'm convinced it's 98 sure it's contributing to some of these women losing interest okay because that's the frosting dude that's a big player frosting i see and i know why you don't do it i'm well i don't i have a guess yeah go for it do you don't want to seem creepy don't want to seem forward yeah absolutely nailed it yeah seriously you're on a date with a woman you met on a dating app why the hell would you not want to tell her be flirty and tell her she's hot, sexy, awesome. If you feel that way. Yeah. Well, that's a good point. You want to be a, if you want to be, you're a nice guy, right? Try to be.

Yeah. Yeah. I would say so for sure. You and I are both Midwesterners. I know a nice Midwesterner when I hear one. Dude, by the way, I'm only messing with you a little bit i did no i think myself but um you know the nicest thing you can do on a date is make a woman feel sexy and special and amazing what's nicer than that so stop being an asshole yeah stop being an asshole and not letting her feel sexy and incredible when you phrase it that way i don't want to be an asshole be nice i i once dated a woman who um she gave me some great she came out with some of my clients and myself years and years ago i do these in-person coaching seminars in new york city mainly and this woman came out beautiful

beautiful blonde woman who's like basically a part-time model and anyway um she did a little focus group not focus group a little q a for like four or five of my guys because we spent the night out approaching talking to women i'm coaching them up and then this woman came out um i'll call her jennifer Jennifer, tall, gorgeous, blonde woman. She said the best thing. I'm not going to isolate this clip because it would sound so bad. So full context is needed. One of my clients said to like, what do women want from us?

What do you guys really want? And she said, you know what? We just want a nice, sweet guy who's going to treat us well and then take us home and respectfully choke us while he fucks us with consent you know what jennifer was into right yeah again that's a metaphor i'm not saying choking is what every woman wants that's a whole separate episode we'll do about bdsm but but the the message that jennifer was trying to convey was we want you to be nice and sweet to us we also want you to be a man and make some moves in her case she wanted consensual choking god bless her i'm saying lower the bar just tell a woman she's sexy and cool yeah on a date and then um and that's gonna help you so much man because

you're a lot of women love clear direct language unfiltered language just the way it is so don't be afraid well fear is okay um don't let fear stop you from saying that to a woman if you feel that way. You will not get in the friend zone anymore. You may or may not be the right fit for a woman, but I promise you this. If you look a woman in the eye and say, you know what's really sexy about you? The way you laugh and giggle, it is so feminine and playful and sweet and silly. I'm trying to be a gentleman here, but you're making it hard. I don't know if she's going to love that or not, but she ain't going to friend zone you.

Make sense? That makes sense. That's a fair point, for sure. Yeah. So I think what's happening on first dates, at least to an extent, and you're getting first date kisses, so you're doing a lot of stuff really well.

But I just really want to like hit women not hit but you know uh give them a lot of great energy and a lot of just make them feel all floaty and swirly and special and um one of the ways we do that is clear statements of romantic interest so again the technique is notice what you like notice what you find sexy and special about her that's sort of more internal the woman the person and wrap that in the bow of your sexy i see so let's go back to your last first date where you felt the woman was cool and sexy let's go back let's do a back to the future let's get in the delorean go back in time if you go back and tell one of these previous first dates something really that you found really sexy about her what what might you have said what internal quality would you have noticed with with any of these women um gosh um you know i like a girl that's really bubbly but i don't know how

to make that like say hey that's sexy that you're bubbly right um but adventurous i like bubbly yeah i like it because it's behavior-based it's not like yeah do we just don't want to make it only about our body yeah exactly that's that uh i see what you're getting that i love bubbly for sure yeah yeah um so i mean i tend to like girls that are like that and that personality just is very attractive to me um but i don't know how to compliment that and make that sound sexy because you don't always equate bubbly to sexy i guess maybe in my mind i'm overthinking that aspect i don't know how to do it that way. You overthink Jack. I know. Yeah. That's all good. Welcome to being alive. Yeah. I've overthought 27 things today.

But, uh, yeah, bubbly. I, there's a, there's a line in my book where I say, here's a simple philosophy to go through dating. What I'm thinking and feeling is what i'm saying and doing so i mean thinking and feeling about her and about us right right so yeah if you're like you know what's really sexy about you you're so bubbly i love that doesn't have to be fancy it just has to be real and uh and that direct clear youO-U, you know what's so sexy about you? You are so bubbly. I love how bubbly you are. And then you might keep going. Just let that stream of consciousness flow.

Was she intelligent? Was she anything else besides bubbly that impressed you? Oh, yeah, absolutely. So, I mean, the fact that she loves to travel. I mean, not everybody likes to do it. Adventurous, absolutely. So, I mean, the fact that she loves to travel. I mean, not everybody likes to do it. Adventurous, awesome, smart, having a really good job as an engineer. Okay, great.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's awesome. So you just did something. You stumbled on something. This is more of an advanced flirting move for a different episode, perhaps. But when you combine two things that don't normally go together, you create this kind of interesting curiosity. It's like Reese's cup of flirting. Ooh, chocolate is good. Peanut butter is great. Put them together. Oh my God. It's incredible. So you're like, you know what's really sexy about you?

What fake name can we give her? What's a bubbly girl's name? Veronica. I like using a woman's name because that's her favorite word. Hey, Veronica. By the way, Veronica, you know what's really sexy about you? You are so bubbly. And you're not just bubbly, but you're so smart and nerdy.

I mean, you're an engineer. You're a bubbly and brilliant engineer. I don't know whether to ask you out again or ask you to design a computer model for me. Or I don't know, whatever an engineer does. Right. But it's sort of like you're combining two things that don't normally go together and that's really uh unusual and in a good way it's like it's something it gives women

a sense of variety that they're not used to because most guys are just like you're hot actually most guys don't even say that but at least like the the quote-unquote you know natural guys or more naturally extroverted guys might just say yeah you're hot that's not fancy but it's enough for a lot of women i'd much rather you elevate it to be like hey you know what's sexy about you you're bubbly and you're but you're also a nerd i love that you're a bubbly nerd you're so my type um you're you're Because I'm a nerd too. I'm not as bubbly as you, but that's okay. That would resonate so much with a woman, I'm convinced.

I really do believe that. Yeah, that makes sense. Because you're also, when you're complimenting, it's not like generic. It's really, I'll call them back to what you were saying earlier. It's two things that are unique about her that you can't really say about everybody else. So I guess I would like it if somebody said that about me, you know, not that specific.

Cause I'm not, I'm not an engineer. I don't know if I'm bubbly. Maybe I come across as the opposite sometimes, but yeah, absolutely. Now, well,

women are usually the bubbly one. I don't, I'm not saying bubbly is a thing a lot of women are looking for in a guy so it's probably good yeah no i guess i agree there are some feminine traits women like i'm not saying bubbly is going to be at the top of the list okay here are your marching orders okay here are your mission here's your mission or two should you choose to accept it on every first date forward, I want you to give women that sexy compliment. Make it about an internal trait or a behavioral observation.

Her sexy laugh, her bubbliness, her intelligence combined with bubbliness. On my first date with my now girlfriend, Jess, I said, you know what's really sexy about you? You're so quick-witted. You're so funny. I'm usually the funniest one're so funny. I'm usually the funniest one on a date. I'm just trying to keep up with you. And she later told me how that melted her.

That's a good line. Well, it's a line, but it's also genuine. It was real. I mean, it was a thing I said. It wasn't planned, though. Totally organic in the moment. Authentic, as i like to say anyway marching orders always say the sexy thing but feet but me wait until you mean it and feel it

don't say it because coach connell said we're all trying to use the sexy part time to do the sexy line now hey you sure are sexy i'm writing it down it's another. Here's another thing I want you to do on a date. Be vulnerable. If you are in your head and nervous, tell her that. Okay. Because you get in your head. So does she. Be vulnerable. God, I'm just kind of nervous right now.

I'm actually in your head. I just caught myself trying to say the right thing. And you know what? I'm not going to do that with you. I'm just going to be in the present moment with you. Back to you. What were you saying, Allison? I'm be in the present moment with you back to you what were you saying allison i'm back in the present moment sorry pretty girls make me nervous oh my god women are like craving that guy that's like a pew grant rom-com movie character

trust me on this um yeah anyway so sexy compliments feel free to say when you're nervous or in your head i'd rather you lean into the skid than um pretend like you're not human um you never know she might open up too all of a sudden she's like i was so nervous too you're so cute i was so excited about you and the other thing I want you to start doing for a mission is simplifying texting. Start using give, give, give, ask. And just instead of thinking, what's the perfect thing to say? Or am I coming off as needy? As long as you are giving value or trying to, then you are, there's nothing needy about you and nothing try hard. And you can't, again, no woman's ever said, stop sending me charming, funny messages that are tailored for me.

They want that. So don't worry about that at all. I've been doing this for 20 years it works like a charm makes sense okay any other missions these are good thanks man um last thing i'll say i got two more minutes do you tell stories on first dates like personal stories from your life yeah yeah absolutely yeah like what's your go-to story like any stories you like you don't need to tell the whole thing but like yeah um so yeah i try to lean towards like a younger like college or kid story that i try to think are funny uh like i don't know i'll say like one of my brother when i was really little and i pretended i fell off of our deck and i was looking up in the air and my brother, I just see him. He's this tiny little kid. This has this giant ice chunk that just drops it right

on my head. I'm just crying, you know, like something like that, you know, just, um, yeah. That's great. I love it. That's great. No notes. As my improv teacher never says to me, no notes. That's great. Great. Uh, storytelling storytelling personal stories are great things to share one thing you might consider back to that frosting versus cake topic um this could be first or second date totally fine to do this on a first date is uh think of like a good vulnerable or you don't have to think of it you can also just do it in the moment. But think, what's a really genuine, real story from my past about something that I screwed up or something embarrassing or something really personal that I've learned from or grown from? That can be really powerful. Like late in a first date,

after you flirted and teased and told her she's sexy and then kind of open up a little bit toward the end. And then she sees that real glimpse of you. I remember on the first date I had way, way, this is pre pandemic. It's been so long, but pre pandemic first date I had where I talked about giving my mom's eulogy

and how, cause we were talking about the best things we'd ever written. And the best thing I ever wrote was my mom's eulogy and how, because we were talking about the best things we'd ever written. And the best thing I ever wrote was my mom's eulogy. And I wasn't going to typically talk about my mom's passing on a date, but it came up and I talked about it in a way that wasn't sad or super negative. It was more about what a wonderful moment that was for me to share these stories about my mom with my family. And so kind of broke a little first date rule, talk about your mom's eulogy. Hell no. I wouldn't normally tell that to a guy, but it was organic.

And I could kind of just see this woman just like kind of gravitating to the truth and the openness. And she shared something about her past and somebody she lost. It just made us kind of really see the real people. And that will help a woman at the end of a date, walk home thinking or go home thinking, damn, I could totally see myself with this guy.

And if she can't, because you're just two different people, that's okay too. Better to find out sooner rather than later. But man, when you find the right fit for you and you get emotionally naked like that at the end of a date or maybe on a second date, that's another kind of story to have in your back pocket is something vulnerable, lesson you learned, something you screwed up,

the time you got caught cheating on the sophomore high school test and you got suspended, whatever the story is, make it a story that doesn't make you look good or that or that at the time didn't make you look good but you learned from it that can be pretty powerful too okay oh bonus mission i forgot to give you also look for look for one thing to playfully tease a woman about on first guys so marching orders for first dates, sexy compliment and mean it. Don't fake it. Look for something to tease something behavioral or like low stakes, just like you bust your friend's balls. And, um, and then look for that more vulnerable story and get, start giving women the, the boyfriend experience. Cause, uh, cause Jack's going to be a hell of a boyfriend. We just got to show women that guy.

Thank you. Cool, man. Thanks for the confidence. You got it. That's all. I will let you go and we'll stay in touch. Keep me posted, okay, bro? Awesome. Thanks, Kyle. Appreciate it. Great stuff. You got it, man. Thanks a lot. Bye.
