And instead of coming right out of a work meeting and maybe hopping on a Zoom date, and you're like, great, I'm just going from one work call to the next, you're bringing in that energy of stressful corporate life into this date. And then you're like, yeah, you're having the same conversations about KPIs and whatever other corporate jargon. And you're like, yeah.

Yeah, I love that question. So I think, yes, 100% it does. And I'm going to refer to it by the principle of the foot in the door approach. So this is something that I talk a little bit about in the book.

And it comes from the old door-to-door sales tactics, where if you could ask for a small favor and very literally get a foot in the door, you were much more likely to have success asking for the bigger favor. And so there are a lot of different ways this can play out. And so, you know, you can imagine you're at the dog park and you can just ask for very simple. I think it's a good practice.

Ask me for very simple things. Hey, you know, is that a Aussie? Or, you know, I love your golden retriever. Like, what's your golden retriever's name? Is your golden retriever friendly? You know, and can I say hi? Just these little things that... When you see people walking up to others on the street and initiating conversations in a non-romantic context, this is a totally normal thing to do.
