Ladies, would you talk to men when their face is in their phone or their headphones are in their ears? No? So why would your perfect man approach you when your phone is out? Put it away and put on a smile!

Camille Virginia is here today to show us how to date offline! Camille is the expert behind Master Offline Dating. She specializes in working with singles who are burned out with online dating. Camille giving ladies the skills and competence to find their match in the real world.

Taking the Natural Approach [2:55]

If you see a cute guy but don't feel comfortable making the first move, Camille recommends closing the physical gap and getting closer to him to see if he says something to you. If that doesn't work use the Friendly or Flirting technique. Say something casual about something in your proximity. He won't know if you are being friendly or flirting.

5 Key Ways to Be Approachable [6:21]

  1. Take your headphones out and put your screen away - You are not looking for a robot!
  2. Set an intention to meet the guy you want to meet and why you want to meet him.
  3. Smiling - It's better than resting bitch face.
  4. Make eye contact - Pretend you're looking for someone.
  5. Dress for confidence and a conversation - It only takes one unique accent piece.

But I’m an Introvert [18:49]

You just have to move out of your comfort zone. You have to wean yourself off staying home and not talking to anybody. Get out and go to a party by yourself. It’s not going to be easy but you have to get out there if you are going to meet someone.

What If He Ends Up Being a Toad [20:31]

If you catch a guy's attention and he makes an approach but then you are totally not into him make something up. Honesty is not the best policy in this case.

Do not hurt his feelings just because he had the confidence to come up and talk to you.

Where Are the Quality Guys [28:52]

You can pass 100’s of single men but be too busy to notice. Pay attention to who is behind you in line.

How to Attract the Right Guy in Under 30 Seconds Without Saying a Word

Jun 18, 2017

Do you hang on to the jerks because you’re not sure if you are really lovable?

If Mr. Nice Guy comes along are you afraid you will screw it up like all the other relationships you’ve had?

In this episode, Marni coaches Sarah from Texas. Sarah has been a serial monogamist for a while, but learns how she can become a long-term girlfriend with a new guy she just met.

Sorting Through the Past [3:04]

Sarah admits to having a knack for finding assholes but recently she has come upon Mr. Nice Guy. Marni shows her how to to move forward by unpacking the past. Sarah felt a connection with the last jerk she met, but it was a connection through humor, which reminded her of her dad. When she ‘confronted’ him about her wants and needs he made it clear he didn’t share her values.

Words have energy and we choose the words we say unconsciously.

The Future [21:22]

Sarah needs to forget about her history and her previous stories about herself. She has been reacting rather than responding. She should determine what she needs and what she wants, then ask her date higher quality questions which will reveal to her the answers that really matter.

The New Guy [24:42]

Sarah is afraid she is going to screw things up with the new guy because she has grown so accustomed to failed relationships. She also feels unlovable which may be bleeding through into her actions. Once she realizes there is nothing to fuck up, she should practice receiving his attention, his time and his kindness.

Sarah’s homework is to practice receiving love and to turn up her love limit. Every day she needs to spend two minutes imagining herself receiving love as a Gold Child - her ideal, authentic love-able self.

You can have chemistry with people who are bad for you.

Are you a high-achieving woman who is hard on yourself and believes that beating yourself up motivates you somehow to make a change?  Or, do you organize your own ‘pity party’ when things go wrong, feeling sorry for yourself? Like you are the only one? Do you believe kicking your own ass is an effective way to make change?

Did you know that, actually,  every self-help article, book, practice and thought you have may be taking you further away from happiness, joy and love. There is no quick fix!

Ladies, there is so much more to you than what goes on in your head.

My guest, Raz Ingrasci has been an executive, a consultant, and a facilitator within the human potential movement since 1972. Along with being a teacher for the Hoffman Institute, he founded the Hoffman Institutes Foundation in 1998. The Hoffman Process is one of the most highly effective methods for healing, personal transformation and discovering your true nature.

Negative Love Syndrome  [3:25]

When we want to feel love and connection and then get rejected we fall into what Raz calls ‘negative love syndrome.’ Negative love syndrome is a recognition that we learned our fundamental lessons about what love is, what it means and how to be loved, from our parents in our early childhood.

Whatever emotions were present in our family of origin up into our 10th or 12th year, we absorb and that is what we call love. We shape our entire emotional selves around it.

You are not destined to fail in love.

Why Don’t Self-Help Models Work? [15:18]

Self-help models are generally based on the assumption that you are aware of the ways you have been automatic and that if you know what a better way of being is and put your will into it,  everything will be better. They are based on our willpower and willpower is overrated. It just doesn't work.

In order to change, we need to go to the depths of compassion where the pain is and re-experience the pain.

The Source of Happiness [23:02]

The source of happiness dwells within each human being as a spiritual dimension of self which is resonating in harmony with life as it truly is. The cultivation of compassion is fundamental and mindfulness is a way for us to notice what we grab on to. It assists us in loosening our grip on negative love syndrome.

The Quadrinity Model [25:29]

The work of the Hoffman Process points out we have four dimensions of self that are occurring simultaneously:

  1. The physical body
  2. The intellect.
  3. The emotions
  4. The spiritual self.

Pain and suffering reside in our emotional self. We experienced pain and suffering in our childhood, we buried the negative, painful emotions and then called them love. So, it continues to swirl endlessly in a vicious cycle. Our spiritual selves are our authentic selves, open, free, loving and spontaneous.

The Hoffman Institute

Jun 4, 2017

Love and relationship expert, Arielle Ford just returned from Italy.  She says just being there enlivens all of the senses. There is a vibration of love there.

People are moving at a different pace than in America. They are strolling and holding hands. There is a massive feeling of satisfaction and bliss,  and in this episode she is going to tell you how you can bring that into your own love life.

 Arielle is in the personal growth and contemporary spirituality movement. She has spent 30 years living, teaching and promoting consciousness through all forms of media. She is a brilliant speaker and co-creator and co-host of Evolving Wisdoms: Art of Love series. She is also the author of 11 books. Including the extremely influential, The Soulmate Secret: Manifest the Love of Your Life with The Law of Attraction.  

 The Dazzling Distraction  [6:18]

 Many successful women use their work as a distraction to get a hit of dopamine (dopamine is the feel good chemical that your brain emits when you feel good).  That they would really rather be getting from being in love. The dopamine gives us instant feedback - a quick hit - so rather than noticing who is noticing you, you run around keeping yourself busy when you should be living in the moment, savoring life.

 Arielle says in order to manifest great love you have to be in a loving space. If you are in judgment mode he can feel it. Men choose women based on how they feel around you.

The big secret to manifesting love is to spend time everyday feeling the way you want to feel when you are with your beloved.

 Get Clear on Your Vision [9:35]

Arielle had a wish list of what she wanted in a guy. She wanted to be the center of his universe and she wanted him to enjoy adventure travel. Ladies, remember no physical attribute contributes to your long-term happiness. When you seek a soulmate/life partner, important attributes are chemistry, communication, compatibility, connection and a shared vision for the future.

How to Get Clear

Know your must haves and deal breakers.  

Put everything you want into positive statements.

Look to your old relationships to see what you want and don't want.

Femininity and Feminine Power [18:42]

When we are working we are in our masculine energy.  But, if you want to be with a masculine male you need to learn to be receptive. You are not using the same type of energy when you are in a relationship as you are when you are working. Learn to shift into your feminine energy.

It's easy to get what you want from a guy. "It would make me happy" they exist to make us happy and they can't make us happy when you are being a demanding bitch.

5 Limiting Beliefs You Need to Let Go Of

  1. You are too old.
  2. You are too fat.
  3. You are damaged.
  4. All the good ones are taken.
  5. You are too busy.

Become an emotionally mature adult. Start to manage your thoughts, beliefs and feelings.
