Excellent, excellent. Well, nice to meet you. Glad we could get a bit of time in today and thanks for your flexibility and all of that good stuff.

So I'm all ears if you want to help me understand to what's going on.

Should I start by, I don't know, reading the email or something or can you...

It's up to you, whatever you like.

Well, actually, I guess no, not exactly. I don't really want to read that because it's kind of unclear.

Anyways, so actually I don't know how to start. I don't know where to start. Can you kind of direct me, maybe ask me a? Well, why don't you, yeah, start by reading the email if you like, or you can email and paraphrase

it as you see fit, but I of course like to know best how to zero in on how philosophy can help you and to do that I need to get a sense of where the major issues are that philosophy can help.

Okay, so let me just try to explain with my own words what I think is the main thing. I think I have a little bit of an issue with

So that's a good thing, right?

But at the same time, there is this whole thing about red flags and this kind of stuff and I feel like I'm I feel like I'm

confused like how do you how do you understand which is it?

Like what happened right now when I was talking to a woman?

Was it something really really bad and irrational?

Or was it just this you know beautiful difference do you know what I mean am I making yeah it makes it's a great question is there something in particular in your life that is in this area or is it more of an abstract question which is

fine too I'm just curious?

I would like it to go to a more personal direction because I have a very particular like

weird upbringing like childhood and like many conflicts with my mother and this kind of stuff so I have a feeling that

it's it's not a problem with women. It's something that, well first of all I guess I picked those women that I have problems with.

But, well, but not your mother didn't pick your mother and that's often the most fundamental challenge right I mean even Adam didn't choose Eve so to I mean, God chose Eve and gave him to Adam,
