Summary
If you've ever felt like you're running out of time to find love, you're not alone.
It's easy to look around and feel like everyone else is moving forward while you're standing still. That pressure can make us settle for relationships that feel like progress, even when they're taking us further away from the love we actually want.
In this episode, Matthew shares seven mindset shifts to help you let go of the fear, comparison, and uncertainty that can come with being single. He explores why there is no universal timeline for love, why being in the wrong relationship is never better than being on your own, and how building a life you genuinely enjoy today puts you in the best position to find the right relationship tomorrow.
Whether you're feeling left behind, questioning your future, or simply tired of the pressure to have it all figured out, this conversation offers a healthier way to think about love, timing, and your own journey.

| 0:00.0 | This was a question that came in from one of our members. She says, I'm 29 and starting to feel |
| 0:10.6 | really uncomfortable with the fact that I'm still single. I can't help but wonder what's wrong |
| 0:16.3 | with me that I haven't found something lasting yet. How do I shift this mindset and ensure it doesn't sabotage my dating life? |
| 0:24.1 | I don't want to be too eager and end up settling for the next decent thing that comes my way. |
| 0:30.3 | And I'm afraid I've done this with the last few men I have dated. |
| 0:33.9 | Today I'm going to be talking about seven different mindsets that can help you out of the anxiety of still being single. |
| 0:44.8 | The first thing I would say to this person is to avoid the seduction of false progress. |
| 0:52.3 | When we feel like we need to make progress and then we see someone in front of us, |
| 0:58.0 | maybe they're not quite right for us. Maybe they fall beneath certain standards we have for the behavior we want. |
| 1:06.0 | Or maybe we just don't really click with them on the level that we want for our future partner. |
| 1:11.2 | But simply dating them and letting that slip into seeing them and letting seeing them slip into some kind of current or temporary relationship feels like progress. |
| 1:24.9 | It feels like forward momentum. |
| 1:26.9 | But those relationships that we settle for in the |
| 1:31.0 | short term, just so that we can tell our friends that we're seeing someone again, just so that we |
| 1:35.5 | can post a relationship status that we're with someone, we can let the world know that we have |
| 1:41.1 | someone. They're costly in terms of time and energy. It's a bit like relationship |
| 1:47.2 | musical chairs. Everyone's going around in a circle until the music stops and then all of a sudden |
| 1:52.3 | everyone scrambles to find the nearest chair. No one wants to be the person left standing in musical |
| 1:59.4 | chairs. Well being single can be the same thing. |
| 2:02.6 | You're just any chair will do. Just get me sat on a chair so that I'm not left standing at the end of this. |
