How Me and My Wife Met... (It's Not What You Think)

1. Get out of the house 2. Eye contact 3. Proximity 4. Say something 5. Have the mindset of being open to love rather than the fear of rejection

We seriously need to hear from Audrey about what she was thinking at that moment went she approached Mathew. I would appreciate her take on this. She won a gem of a man, so she must have some great advice for us!

Summary: 1. Go out more: increase your possibility to collide more. (2-4) be approachable, make people braver around you 👇🏽 2. When you like someone, be inviting: eye contact, not only one, multiple times. Don’t be creepy though 👀. 3. Get closer. 4. Say something,,, anything, to show you’re open to talk. Tip: what can go wrong? cold moment, awkward silence, rejection…. So what 😂 On the other hand, you might actually ⚡️

sounds like Audrey was the brave one all round! 😂😂

"I have to live in such a way that makes people around me brave." This is such a beautiful statement that can be applied to any person or encounter in our lives.

Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her

This definitely meant for me... Cause I'm still waiting for the love of my life to break into my home as much as I stay in😅

Audrey is such a boss. She led this entire encounter!

SMILE. If you see someone without one, give them one of yours. A smile says a thousands words.

I have been rejected so many times over the past 14 years of being single. But I am still putting myself out there.

I wanted to say thank you Matthew! I've read your book and listened to your content for several years, practicing being open to conversations and making myself easy to talk to (not natural for an introvert but I intentionally learned!). I'd given up on modern dating, but kept practicing in public with no goals except warm curiosity to make friends and have interesting interactions with strangers. A few months ago I was at the car dealership getting work done on my car when another customer came and sat a few seats away. I struck up a casual conversation. We talked easily an hour and by the time his car was fixed I'd slid him my phone number. Texting turned into meeting up as friends, a few months passed and we both admitted we liked each other. We've been dating steadily almost a year now. So thank you, because of practicing being open for anything I met my first ever boyfriend - at age 39. You really never know when the right atoms will bump into each other!

Ever since I got to know you, I feel that your wife is the luckiest person in the world! You did a super great job, thanks a lot for sharing! 👍😄👏

I love hearing “my wife” 😍🥰😍🥰 sooooo happy for you!

Wait… she did everything!

Wonderful love story! I’ve ditched the dating apps in 2024. Focusing on projects instead of endless disappointments and distractions. I want to meet someone the old fashioned way like you and Audrey did. Thank you for sharing and I will use your advice. Be brave woman and don’t hold back on approaching someone we are interested in! If anything it will build confidence and flatter nice men.

Profoundly simple. Easy? Maybe not the easiest, but certainly achievable, realistic, and wholesome.

Matthew Hussey got married?!! Where have I been? So glad you found your person! Seems like I went thru your journey, beginning of COVID, etc, and this fellow Gemini was grateful for the company, but my heart ached for both of us. Doing so much better also! Cheers! 🧡

It’s so wild we have to be taught basic social skills again due to the phones and technology of the world, it’s like we forgot ! You have helped me so much throughout the years, Matt. Thank you ! I’m appreciative for the grounding simplicity you bring in your messages.

awww 😍 i love hearing how people meet each other. it's like an episode of ted moseby talking about meeting the mother 😄 lol Matthew i just have to say... i have followed this channel on and off for YEEEARS. and i have always liked your stuff and your advice have been great and all.. but, since you've met Audrey, the change in you, and therefore also your advice and how you go about things, it is felt. you are calmer, answer differently, focus on other things, and it is just lovely to watch... and to grow with this channel. i found you when i was in my early twenties, and now i am 32. so to bear witness to how you have changed, is just awesome to see and i just wanted to tell you that. 🌺

Yes, meeting people the old-fashioned way is fun.
