How to Have Boundaries in the Early Stages of "Talking" · Secrets They'll Only Tell a Matchmaker with Gina Hendrix

• 0:00
  So today, let's talk about boundaries.
• 0:02
  OK, in the early stages of when you're first in the talking
• 0:05
  phase on the dating apps, or even not on the dating apps, it
• 0:09
  doesn't matter. It all applies to the same
• 0:11
  scenario and how to handle it. OK, hang on.
• 0:13
  And I'm leveling up my ladies dating profiles with their
• 0:16
  photos. The goal?
• 0:18
  The men should coming in should be coming in hot.
• 0:20
  And a lot of times, I level it up so much, they're coming in
• 0:24
  too hot. In the case of this young woman
• 0:26
  who's in Arizona, these men are coming in very hot.
• 0:30
  So she asked me this question, How should I respond to people
• 0:36
  that want to take me off the app right away?
• 0:38
  All right. And she's not the only one.
• 0:39
  I know this happens to all of you ladies or a lot of you
• 0:42
  ladies often. So I'm going to tell you how to
• 0:44
  navigate this scenario. And a few others.
• 0:46
  Hang on. So first there was this guy, OK,
• 0:50
  who immediately, this was their first message.
• 0:52
  She just said, I hope you had a nice day because I tell the
• 0:54
  ladies, you know, you don't have to say much because if I've done
• 0:58
  my job and we've done our job of leveling your photos up, you
• 1:01
  don't have to say much. In the beginning they will be
• 1:03
  coming in and and not only are they extending the time, of
• 1:06
  course, that's of course. But then once you crack the door
• 1:09
  open even just a little bit, hope you had a nice day.
• 1:11
  This guy like right away, he's like, you know, I hope you had a
• 1:15
  nice day. I'll be leaving town for a trip
• 1:17
  with my dad on Friday for six days.
• 1:19
  Any chance you have time before that for a date before that?
• 1:22
  Like he wants to meet her right away?
• 1:24
  OK. It's a lot.
• 1:26
  I don't recommend doing this, men, by the way.
• 1:29
  So I told her what I'm going to tell you guys, All right, so if
• 1:32
  somebody wants to just right out of the gate, meet you right
• 1:35
  away. While it's flattering, never
• 1:37
  meet anybody without getting on a call first.
• 1:39
  OK, so in this case, though, it's not even time for a call.
• 1:43
  Like there needs to be a little mambo action dancing back and
• 1:46
  forth just a little bit before you know, if you even want to
• 1:49
  get on a call with them. So I told her to tell him that,
• 1:51
  and I usually do voice notes back to my ladies who are on Vox
• 1:55
  or with me in my program. But anyway.
• 1:57
  So I told her I said just tell him, just say, hey, that sounds
• 2:01
  like that might work. But first, let's just have a
• 2:04
  little back and forth conversation here to see if
• 2:06
  there's even a vibe happening. Straight straight to the point,
• 2:10
  OK? And if he's sincerely
• 2:12
  interested, if he's really interested, then he will be
• 2:14
  willing to play along. OK, hang on.
• 2:17
  There's more. And then again, you just do a
• 2:19
  couple like 3-4 back and forth. They're asking you a question.
• 2:23
  You ask them a question back and forth and then you can say, you
• 2:26
  can say, hey, you know, by the way, I'm not really on the apps
• 2:29
  that much. It might be better to get to
• 2:31
  know you on a call. What do you think?
• 2:34
  Don't give your number yet. OK, Then they'll come back and
• 2:36
  they'll say, sure, I'd love to get on a call and they'll give
• 2:38
  their number usually. And then you go, well, actually,
• 2:41
  I prefer if you call me, you give them your number.
• 2:43
  You. If you don't want to give them
• 2:44
  your number, you can call within the app on Bumble and maybe
• 2:47
  Hinge, I'm not sure, but you can even get a Google phone number
• 2:50
  and have that ready. And then you say, actually I
• 2:52
  prefer if you call me because I want to see them making effort,
• 2:55
  effort, effort, not you, them. And then you give them the
• 2:57
  number and then you have to say, let me know when I can expect to
• 3:00
  hear from you. OK.
• 3:01
  But here's another scenario that also happened to her.
• 3:04
  So I was so excited for her, for this guy, because before I even
• 3:08
  let my ladies who I'm working with talk to a guy, they have to
• 3:10
  show me the guys profile and I read between the lines and I
• 3:14
  tell them what I think of them and if I think they're good
• 3:17
  enough or not right. I'm teaching them how to pre
• 3:19
  qualify. Like a matchmaker was a huge
• 3:20
  part. After you level up your photos,
• 3:22
  you kind of know how to pre qualify.
• 3:24
  OK, so in his case, super excited.
• 3:26
  He's cute, he's everything. But right out of the gate I
• 3:28
  think this is like his. I think she probably just said
• 3:30
  something similar to what I say. Hi blah blah blah he comes in
• 3:34
  hot right away I'm in blah blah blah I reside blah blah blah.
• 3:38
  Look at my Facebook and then he says and after please just text
• 3:42
  me. OK, so don't have your social
• 3:45
  media connected to any of the dating sites.
• 3:48
  Number 12, as I told her to tell him, she's private, she's not
• 3:52
  really on social media, doesn't want to exchange her social
• 3:55
  media stuff. Do not let them look at your
• 3:57
  social media. You need to contain the
• 3:59
  narrative. Don't let anybody dig into what
• 4:01
  you got going on in social media early on in the early stages of
• 4:04
  dating. Also, she doesn't want to text
• 4:07
  him okay. She wants to talk to him a
• 4:09
  little more through message, and then she will give him the line.
• 4:13
  Hey, I'm not on the apps much. I'd prefer if you call me, blah,
• 4:16
  blah, blah, OK, This is how you wrangle it.
• 4:18
  This is how you set boundaries out of the gate.
• 4:21
  This is how you control the narrative so you don't have to
• 4:23
  give in and do all this sharing the social media, letting
• 4:26
  texting them. No, let them lead.
• 4:29
  But look, make sure that they're putting in effort every step of
• 4:32
  the way. But that's why you have to have
• 4:34
  very good boundaries in place out of the gate.
• 4:36
  All right. I hope it helps.
