Yeah. So first of all, thanks for doing your homework here and asking that question. It's a fun one for me to answer. So it's not something I talk about a lot, but I think it has the ability to really help individuals who are similarly situated where I was, which was not having a lot of dates, not necessarily having the confidence. I thought about what is really, truly holding me back.

What are the roadblocks? And for me, it was that I was not going and saying hi to people. I was not going up and making that comment about the Aussie at the dog park or the chicken potstickers in aisle five over at Trader Joe's, just like something simple. And so I thought to myself, what is holding me back from doing that? It was probably confidence, self-esteem, something wrapped up in there.

And then I said, what research-backed practices do I know can help me overcome that? And so I turned to both affirmations and visualizations, kind of borrowing from positive psychology. And in the morning I would sit on my floor for about five minutes and I would close my eyes and I would picture myself in various settings.

So maybe it was over at the rock climbing gym and I saw someone who I thought seemed really interesting and I wanted to go chat to. And I would picture myself going up and just saying like, hey, you know, would you want to belay on this next route? And even from the floor of my bedroom, I would start to get that tightness, that anxiety in my chest or in my stomach.

And I would just take a really deep breath. And I would do it again. And I'd start the visualization. And I'd go up to the same person and would ask the same question. And the tightness would still be there. and take that breath and do it again.

And slowly over time, and I don't want to say slowly over like three years, like slowly over like probably like a week and a half, two weeks from when I started this to when I asked really the first person out that I'd ever really asked out. And I had had like kind of that five number that you brought up was like girlfriends who I'd met through, you know, clubs or whatever.
