Death and Dating

Contemplating death can provide a unique perspective that can positively influence all aspects of life, including dating.

“Do not act as if you are going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.” – Marcus Aurelius

Living in the Moment

• Mindset Shift: Recognizing the impermanence of life encourages you to live in the present and fully engage with the people around you.
• Application: On a date, this mindset helps you focus on the moment, making your interactions more free flowing and enjoyable which will be attractive to her (spike her emotions with confidence).

Reducing Fear and Anxiety

• Mindset Shift: Understanding that life is finite can reduce the fear of rejection or failure.
• Application: With reduced anxiety, you can approach things with more confidence and a relaxed attitude, which is attractive to potential partners.

Prioritizing What Matters

• Mindset Shift: Contemplating death helps you prioritize higher quality interactions and connections.
• Application: This leads to more authentic, yet still fun, convos, allowing you to form stronger bonds with the right people (build your social circle).

Appreciation and Gratitude

• Mindset Shift: Recognizing life’s brevity increases appreciation for the people you meet and the experiences you have.
• Application: Showing genuine gratitude and appreciation can add to you being a social alpha.

Embracing Authenticity

• Mindset Shift: Understanding that life is short can encourage you to be more authentic and true to yourself.
• Application: Being authentic and open about who you are helps in attracting partners who’ll be more aligned with what you’re looking for.

Taking Initiative

• Mindset Shift: Knowing that time is limited can push you to take initiative and seize opportunities.
• Application: This proactive approach can be appealing and shows that you are serious (this doesn’t mean you are thirsty; it doesn’t mean you are more into the girl than she is into you; it just means you put yourself in the right situations).
