In this episode, Matthew, Stephen, and Audrey dive into the âbox theoryââthe idea that people get placed into one of three boxes when dating: "Want to date," "Just for fun," or "Not interested." But is it really that simple? And can you change boxes over time?
We break down the psychology behind first impressions in dating, whether it's possible to shift from casual to committed, and what really makes someone decide weâre ârelationship materialâ.
Topics Covered:What is the â3 Box Theoryâ of dating
Can someone change the box theyâre inâor are they stuck?
Signs youâre being kept in the âcasualâ box and how to respond
Why first impressions arenât always final in attraction
Emotional connection vs. chemistry: how to tell the difference
Dating consistency, standards, and sexual boundaries
How to communicate your relationship intentions without fear

Why do so many people struggle with the idea of commitmentâeven when they want love? What fears do you have to confront? And what does it really take to feel ready? In this conversation, I interview newly-married bestselling author and entrepreneur Lewis Howes about managing the âstormsâ of life, avoiding the self-doubt trap, and what it means to give your heart fully to a relationship.
But we donât stop there. We also get into moneyâwhy itâs so emotionally charged, and how unhealed financial wounds can quietly sabotage your dating life. Thereâs a lot of raw honesty in this conversation, and I hope it meets you where you are.

Weâve all been told that we should never come on too strong, and that playing it cool is the best way to get someone interested. But how much interest is the right amount to show in the early days of dating?

In todayâs Rewind episode, I share 5 tips on how to approach this in the early stages of dating so you can not only show the right amount of interest, but also encourage the same in the other person.

Weâve been told from a very young age to âplay it coolâ . . .
But as we grow up, we realize that when we feel we need to âplay it coolâ to keep someone interested, that often means weâre feeling anything but cool . . . and it usually comes from a place of insecurity or a fear of being rejected.
Pretty soon, we find ourselves calibrating our conversations and contorting ourselves to meet the other personâs needs so we donât come off as needy or a nuisance, and little by little, we start to show them that our needs can be ignored with no repercussions . . .
In todayâs Rewind episode, youâll learn the best way to increase attraction and investment in a way that doesnât diminish your value or make you feel like a nuisance simply for stating your needs.

This weekâs video is about moving in together.
But you should watch it even if youâre not at that stage with someone, because it contains a truth that is essential to understand when moving from one stage of a relationship to the next.
If there is someone in your life you plan on getting more serious with, this is for you.
I felt this video was especially relevant to these times where the term âturbo relationshipsâ is on the rise. A âturbo relationshipâ is a relationship that is moving unnaturally quickly because of the circumstances of this year â lockdown necessities, spending large chunks of time with each other, choosing one person instead of casually dating multiple people, and moving in together far earlier than we otherwise would.
All of this puts pressure on the relationship that can be counterproductive to it going somewhere long term. If we want to build our relationships to last, itâs important they donât burn out before theyâve really begun.
This video will show you how to ramp up your relationship without ramping up the pressure.
Enjoy!
