I post new love life advice for you every weekend.

You may not know this, but you probably have an unconscious dating mindset.
We all do. It might be learned from our parents, an early relationship, or any other kind of formative childhood experience, but it affects so much of our behavior when we meet someone we like.
In today’s new video, I’m going to share 3 of the most dangerous dating mindsets to avoid, and one powerful mindset that will let you enjoy the process while naturally attracting the person you really want.

Basically entire attachment theory explained: dismissive avoidant, anxious, fearful avoidant. It is not simple in real life though. Dating nowadays is hard if we want genuine connection with emotionally available people.

Why do you want an emotionally available person? They get tired of people trying to dump their emotions on them.😊. We have to be independent in those areas😊

@@cayennesinivassinel6977 Incorrect. We have to focus on healthy interdependence, not independence. Being emotionaly available means we can be supportive of others as well as be capable to be supportive of ourself. Emotionally available healthy people also know how to set healthy boundaries to prevent being emotionally dumped upon, but instead have a role of emotional support.

This is some of the best advice I’ve seen. I’ve been all three at different times. I’ve learned to slow the process down by 1st meeting for a walk for coffee or ice cream and hearing the man’s story. Even when there is no connection, I’ve found this approach to be much more satisfying. I don’t feel like I wasted my time as I always learn something new.

I have followed your advice for years Matt. And you have helped change me, made me evolve, build my self esteem, all from miles away. The last decade has been painful, transformational and unpredictable to say the least, in terms of dating. And amidst all that chaos, I kept coming back to your videos. They always gave me the truth, and most importantly, practical solutions to get out of the funk. Years ago, I found you on KZbin, when I was heartbroken, confused, grappling for answers. Years later, I find myself looking in the mirror, and a self assured, powerful, and a secure person looks back at me. I’m better because of you. I’m so so happy that you’re married to the love of your life. Audrey and you are perfect together. I wish the same kind of understanding, supportive love comes into my life someday. Loads of love and light from India. ❤️❤️❤️

Sideliner. I don’t trust myself. Sidelining because I don’t even know how to date after being married for 25 years and entering the dating world in a whole new era. Like being in prison and then released into a world that has moved in light speed into a whole new universe.

This was so brutally truthful and good. I've definitely been a skater & a sinker. Last year, I went on a crazy dating spree (12 people) in one month, just cause I didn't want to go through the proper pain of rejection with someone that I had an insane crush on. And after few months, I developed another crush on someone, and became a sinker again. And ended things quickly, because I didn't feel like he was into me as much as I was into him. I didn't wanted to feel the rejection again. I was constantly worried, when was it gonna end, when was he gonna ghost me or reject me. So I ended it. And I became a skater again. I also think the issue of being a sinker is that I'm more attracted to the idea of someone, and therefore love the chase, when they don't seem to be that into me. From now on, I'll feel the pain when it's needed. I'll slow down. I'll strike the cadence.

I got sidelined by a girl, then at the same time I met a woman that was so warm and loving, and communicative. Dropped the lame girl, and have been in a crazy-good and warm-love-filled relationship for 6 weeks with the woman (that happens to be Ukrainian). She’s hot, and so incredibly sweet, and also puts in effort like a real woman. Good luck, and don’t waste time with a person that doesn’t seem to actually want a relationship.

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen. You do so much here. I found myself rewinding at certain points because your words gave me ideas that my mind traveled down, so I needed to rewind to get back to your words so I wouldn't miss anything. I love that there is a dating pool, and swimming plays nicely as a term especially given the relation between swimming and a pool. I found that I relate most closely to the Sinker currently, albeit I typically don't warp myself too much to please the other person but rather I warp myself to be better based on how the other person motivates me. It is still growth promoting, but I do have other Sinker characteristics which can be considered negative such as becoming attached/engrossed too quickly and not dating with enough frequency. I love hearing about the other styles even when they don't directly apply to me. I can also see parallels between the other styles and some of the women I've gone on dates with in the past. I've definitely met a Skater before and was surprised to hear that she had a date lined up for literally every day that week, whereas I'm more of a Sinker who is nearly the opposite in terms of dating frequency. I could go on and on about reflections based on your video here. Thanks so much for sharing with us. I'm learning a lot!

“Swimmers stay in the game but they keep moving forward” This whole video resonates deeply - I realize I oscillate between all 3, and my skating is swiping and swiping on a dating app but not really giving people a chance, until one charismatic narcissist comes along and I go into sinker mode 😂 then when I inevitably get hurt, I get out of the water altogether. Thank you Matthew for these helpful archetypes, and for the antidote at the end that will actually get me off my butt and back in the water again ❤️ I can’t wait for your book to come out this spring!

Then i kinda turned into a sinker and gave do much for her. I applied for a new job because coming home to my ex was the only motivation to keep doing my shitty job.

I found these personas helpful to put some of my experiences in perspective. I was so desperate for connection and romance after two years in lockdown during the pandemic. I started working out a lot and felt good about myself. I allowed one incredibly charming man into my life and it’s been traumatising to see how low I sunk in the past year. There have been so many small and bigger things I did not like or want to do but for the sake of being with someone I let them cross my boundaries. I completely overanalysed all that’s happened and lost myself in the process. A big lesson for me to trust my gut and speak up for myself more. Be ready to walk away before getting too emotionally invested!

This really used to be me. All 3 of them. I was in a hurry so I didn’t let connections form and was on to the next. Met someone I really liked then would sink into them. Broken hearted after it didn’t work out, I would sit on the sidelines ENTIRELY too long. I’ve finally learned how to balance. Try to form meaningful connections. It’s ok if it doesn’t work out but now I pace myself so I don’t get burnt out, obsessed or jaded. It’s been a learning process for sure and now I just take what comes with the journey as optimistically as I possibly can.

Now I keep attracting the wrong guy who is either emotionally abusive or has bad habits and doesn't treat me right or was after the wrong thing.

That's a good point though; that we need to focus more on the positive aspects the dating process can give us, regardless of the result of a Loving SO. For me, the dating itself could pose more joy if I could learn how to assert my boundaries more quickly. And perhaps this could also help to see which men would respect my boundaries.

I was a sideliner some years ago, then I became a sinker and now I am a Skater, now I want to have a healthier approach to dating, because I feel like I am getting bored and it's getting hard for me to see anyone in a romantic way anymore. Perhaps I am burnt out. Thanks Matt for sharing this.

Sideliner here and loving it; but lately… I’m missing having someone in my life. I’m very upset about this new development in my heart - I was so enjoying being single and can’t understand why it changed.

I’m definitely a sideline and all you’ve said is me to a tee. But I’m finding it hard as I’m getting old that I’m trying to swim but feel exhausted at all angles. That I’m sinking:drowning into a depression of the possibility of not finding love or my person. Online dating is so bad and makes my mental well-being worse. I feel like what is the point as it never works in my favour.

I've never been a Skater, cause I take time to get interested enough in someone to try anything (probably demi-romantic). But I do fall pretty hard when it gets to that point. So I have been a Sinker all my life... bearing the pain of huge loss with every rejection, one after the other up until my mid-20s. And then I gave up and became a Sideliner. I'm 34 now, and have been the past 2-3 years slowly getting back into dating. I think I'm slowly learning to swim, but it does take time... reflecting on each experience, learning with mistakes, and trying again, slowly, carefully but with determination. I've come to accept the possibility of never finding anyone, with a stoic calmness. But not so much that I quit trying. The years I've spent on the sidelines, made me realize that I want to keep trying, despite of the result. This is why "loving the process" resonated so much with me when you said it. That is pretty much it.

I'm a sideliner and just haven't dated in around 12-13 years. Though the rejection was never the problem it was always the lack of time since my schedule is hectic and I am usually up front with that if it came up.

I was a sinker.. I became concious that I was and became a sideliner. Dipped my toes in again and irritated myself because the sinker is still there even though I'm conscious of it... went back the sidelines. I'm staying here because apparently I have some issues to work on 😅. I don't skate, but sideline for years then sink occasionally.

I think I been a sinker before, but for the most part I been a sideliner. I remember for a short while I tried to date but couldn’t connect with anyone because I was still closed off not allowing anyone in close. Then I’d have to sideline again.

I was a sinker that I had to say yes every time to the guy I dated even if I lost part of myself. That's why I become a skater. I dated some guys but somehow it ended up being a hook up and that's why I lost interest. I was craving for genuine connection but after hooking up, I felt I was being ghosted or we connect few times that's why I lost interest and jump off to another guy. And this resulted me somehow to a dating burn out because I keep on meeting guys who just want a short term connection. When these guys somehow detached, I also feel the same way. Any advice for me? I badly want a genuine connection. I prefer no hooking up and just connect and get to know. But it's really impossible these days. Some guys prefer to have sex first and become a basis whether to pursue a relationship or not. If not sexually compatible even if in getting to know stage even if knowing the guy for few days they drift apart. I lost trust and interest because of this. I am in my 30s and I don't know what to do with these hook up culture & knowing you can be replaced by anyone anytime.

I just got shook hard after dating someone new. Manipulator, yelling and ultimatums. How long should I take to swim. At this point I’m feeling a mix between “get out there and don’t repeat the same steps” vs “ugh im feeling burned out and want to couch surf for a few months”.

I think this video is really either or. Im neither a skater nor a sinker, yet I am still not standing on the shore looking at people dating. Dating was never a mission, I can be alone, and I not chase shadows or ideas trying to apply myself to ones needs. I just meet people and if there are sparks I’ll try to get to know the person the way they are.. interesting

Skater due to insane pain ,and no time to keep wasting my energy into one person that doesnt work out. I felt burned out but didnt want to spend any more time alone thinking of my ex. Not much of a sinker anymore ,the occasional sideliner . So, it seems i cycle through these stages. I am aware i must become a swimmer ❤ On one dating app i meet about 6 men a day, meet about 2 dates a month, but no connection or they vanish without a trace or i vanish 😂. I've given up on dating apps . Maybe a MH app next where people are guided or matched organically?
