Don’t worry, you’re not alone! Its happened to most of us. But of course, when it happens, you do feel very much alone. So what if I told you this never needs to happen again?
Ooh! Are you going to tell me a magic secret to never being rejected ever again? Is it hypnotism?
No! In fact, what I’m going to tell you should get you more rejections than you’ve ever had before. But they’re not going to feel like the kind of stomach-churning rejections when someone ducks away from your kiss. They’re going to feel like useful signals that you receive with gratitude and go about your day.
Uhh, ok. So whats the secret?
Touch their shoulder with the back of your hand.
Ooh! To hypnotize them right?
No! Ok, let me back up a bit, since you seem to be fixated on this hypnotism thing. When you meet someone you’re interested in, how many languages do you talk to them in?
Ok yes there’s verbal communication, but you’re also talking them via your appearance and by touch, right? You’re having conversations in 3 languages: verbal, visual, and physical.
And when you start talking to someone verbally, you don’t lead with “HELLO, I LIKE YOU VERY MUCH, WANT TO MAKE THE SEX?!”. Because you’d get rejected every time, right?
You might start with “Hey, do you like horses?” or “I like your style!” or “My name is Morgan”. And the worst that can happen is the person you want to talk to doesn’t respond.
So when you talk to someone physically, there is a way to say “Hi my name is Morgan”, and that’s while you are talking, to touch them on the shoulder with the back of your hand, and wait for their response.
How do I interpret their response?
Alright Dating Guru, thanks for the awesome tip. I’ll try it. But can I just say, next episode I’d like you to focus more on hypnotism.
