And I think that was really true for where I was at at the time. So I started to kind of work backwards from the goal that I wanted, that life partner. And I realized before that was going to happen, I was going to have at least a girlfriend, maybe several girlfriends. And before that, there were going to be some dates. Before that, I was going to have to find a way to go on dates.

And I started trying to figure out if I went up and had the confidence to approach someone... What might I say? Are there ways that I can do this with better efficacy, with authenticity? And are there research studies that have been done when guys are going up to women and ask them out, how often they might typically get a yes?

And are there some type of numbers that I can assign to this to eventually be able to set a goal and say, great, if I set a goal to go on 60 dates, hopefully I can just go on one date and find my right person, but if I don't,

that's okay, I'll just view this as great, only 59 more, only 58 more, recognizing that there's this sense of rejection along the way, but that that's an inevitable part of getting to this thing that we all know is fundamental for our well-being, for our happiness, for our longevity, which is healthy relationships, and particularly one of those healthy relationships that you're going to have with a life partner.

So, I went through this journey myself, eventually meeting my person who I've been with for almost five years now. Other friends would begin to ask me about my approach.

That sort of led into coaching and eventually this book, which Date Smarter is basically a look at how behavior science, how math can help us understand how to date more strategically in a way that feels authentic to us, but also in a way that leverages

cognitive biases that we might have and like, how do we overcome these biases to be able to do this in a way that, that improves the probability that improves the chances of us finding what it is that we're, that we're really after.

So one of them that I like to talk about is called the primacy effect. And the primacy effect stems from this idea that how an interaction starts really disproportionately impacts how the other person perceives the remainder of the experience.
