Most people don’t realize it, but there’s actually more to being a good dinner guest than remembering to bring a nice bottle of wine.

0:00.0 | I'm Matthew Hussey and this is Love Life. If you've ever felt like you didn't know the |
0:07.3 | right words to say to a man to create attraction and chemistry, then you can't afford to |
0:12.9 | miss what I have for you at the end of today's episode. Stay tuned because I'm going to |
0:17.5 | hand you five phrases that are so simple yet so powerful with men that you're going |
0:22.6 | to be furious at me for not giving this to you years ago. |
0:28.7 | We are talking about the five ways to be a great dinner guest on today's show. I'm excited |
0:33.7 | about this because I feel like too often when we go to dinner, we see ourselves as going |

1:26.5 | your food and finish halfway before anyone else has even gotten close to finishing their |
1:31.6 | food. Even when it comes to the way you eat, you know, people would say, well, I'm just |
1:35.7 | going to eat the way I always eat. I'm going to be myself. Well, kind of. I mean, I know |
1:39.9 | the way I eat at home on my own is not the same as the way that I eat when I go to dinner. |
1:45.1 | I will. I don't think I would want everyone watching the way I eat at home. But when |
