0:00.0	Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.
0:11.0	You've been maybe in an abusive relationship in the past where you were a doormat. You were
0:15.9	walked on, you had no control, no authority, the person that you were in a relationship with,
0:20.2	walked over your boundaries, took advantage of all that. And you've had time to heal and now you're getting back
0:25.5	out there. How can that person create a great dating experience in that first date to put themselves
0:32.9	more in the driver's seat with some authority and not a dormant mentality? I think the first thing is, don't take out on that person what was done to you by somebody else.
0:42.3	That's the worst.

1:07.9	The other thing I will say is
1:09.6	the majority of people tend to trust. When we have
1:13.8	relationships with people, we tend to go and trust people. So when someone says something to you,
1:19.0	you tend to believe it. We believe it. Knowing that we tend to believe people automatically,
1:24.9	just hold a little bit of that back. Just be more reserved than how much
1:28.5	you trust. Discerning about it. Yes. Just don't put it all out on the table. Oh my God,
1:33.6	this guy's great or gal's great. I just connected with them. And then what we do, we go nose in.
