On dating apps, first impressions matter.

And after you clear the first hurdle of endless swiping and find someone who piques your interest, it’s often the next step that’s the hardest . . .

That is, of course: What on EARTH do you say to them?!

You scan their bio, hoping inspiration will strike and you’ll manage to figure out the perfect opening gambit. You think:

Would a simple “hey” or “great photo” show a lack of imagination?

I’d like to just be myself, but it can feel so hard to be authentic without seeming too eager . . .

Many times, thoughts like these make us overthink everything to the point where we end up sending something awkward . . . or worse, not sending anything at all, letting the opportunity of connection pass us by.

So how can we make an impression on people who haven’t yet had the chance to meet us and see how awesome we are?

In today’s episode, I’m going to share with you 3 openers you can send right away to stand out on a dating app.

In this episode, join Chidera as she discusses: what's the difference between ‘being bought’ and being where your worth feels valued? Do you feel comfortable asking men for things or are you scared they will think you're 'fleecing' them? What makes a man worth being the 'right' man for you?

Sometimes, you might not even by asking for too much...sometimes, he's just the wrong man!

I got a DM that hit hard: How do you make friends to easily in NYC? Just like other relationships, female friendships can be toxic. If you always gravitate toward masculine energy, maybe you can relate to this. A lot of what I have experienced in the social media space has been superficial, but in this episode you’ll hear about how I balance surrounding myself with genuine, empowering people and wondering, am I the problem?

I can’t tell you how many times a week someone online says to me: “Matthew, I’ve had enough. I’m just going to give up on dating altogether.”

It may be because they are sick of getting their heart broken. It may be that they are exhausted from going on dates that don’t go anywhere, or online conversations that never even get to the point of a date in the first place.

It could be the frustration of never meeting people they have true chemistry with, or when they finally do, discovering that they aren’t looking for a relationship.

If you feel any of these things, I made this for you.

If you feel you’re close to giving up on this area of your life, I have no righteous ground to take in telling you you’re wrong. I completely understand it. It is unbelievably frustrating, especially when you want nothing more than to just get on with sharing your life with that special person instead of more time passing without them in it. You’re not weak or crazy for feeling the way you do, so give yourself a break. But before you give up, just do me one favor – listen to this podcast today.

Looking for love in the classifieds can lead to explosive consequences. 

LOVED having my good friend and constant positive vibe emitter Cy Wakeman on the show to talk HR reform, authorship, entrepreneurship and good mental processes. Cy helps businesses get rid of drama in the workplace, helping to boost efficiency and engagement and push down negativity - something I try and do for Vaynermedia as well. Can't wait for you to hear these call - in's too, so so relevant to the theme of the episode, talking about how to not take sides of employees when there's an issue, leadership within restaurants and why millennials are NOT the enemy. Enjoy <3
