Summary

Time for Fan Mail Fridays, where we'll be answering your questions and dropping some knowledge and feedback to help you kick the weekend off right. In this episode: How do you meet new people for platonic relationships while making it clear that you're not available for anything romantic or sexual (while avoiding coming across as presumptuous)? How can you overcome your own self-limitations to start living life for yourself instead of catering to the whims and validation of others? You're a divorced parent of two in your forties and stuck in suburbia for custody reasons until the kids go to college. What dating prospects can you expect? You've placed your own college education on hold under the condition you'd return once your spouse graduated. Four days after they got their degree, you separated. Now what? For the sake of your own relationship's balance, how do you encourage your significant other to develop outside friendships? We spend a lot of time worrying about what other people think about us. But what do you think about you? Jordan goes into more detail about this phenomenon here: Who Influences Your Thoughts? Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

0:00.0	It is time for fan mail Fridays. I'm your host, AJ Harbinger sitting in for Jordan again this week,
0:06.1	and I'm here with our producer Jason DeFleepo. We'll be answering your questions and dropping some
0:11.6	of that fantastic knowledge as well as feedback to help you kick the weekend off right now. If
0:17.5	you're new to the Art of Charm podcast, this is not a great place to start. Most of our content
0:22.7	is a lot more in depth and much longer format. So check out the best of at the artofcharm.com
0:28.8	slash best or the fundamentals toolbox at the artofcharm.com slash toolbox and as always we'll
0:36.5	send all of this straight to your inbox if you text charmed to 3 3 4 4 4. There we've got the
0:44.0	fundamentals of body language, nonverbal communication, attraction, negotiation, networking, etc.
0:51.5	And everything else we teach here at the art of charm. Now let's cut to it. Hey guys, I found the
0:58.3	podcast some months ago and I've been following it since then. I love the content and how the
1:02.1	topics are explained and delivered. Congrats and thanks to the whole AOC team. I was wondering if you
1:07.9	could give me some advice about the following situation. I'm not a person with a lot of friends,
1:12.1	but I have some and I would like to expand my group and my network. I am dating someone so I'm
1:17.4	not looking for somebody else in a romantic way, but I would like to meet new people and make new

1:27.2	want to get to know him and try and find something in common and make a connection, the guy expects
1:31.9	to move the beginning friendship to another level could be to a relationship or just to have sex,
1:37.2	etc. So when I say that I'm not interested, I lose the contact. So I don't know if I'm sending the
1:42.2	wrong message when I first talk to the guys and the truth is that me having someone is not being
1:46.8	set on the first meeting or contact because the new guys don't ask about it and I don't mention it
1:51.5	because I think it would look pretentious if they don't ask. I guess my question would be how could
