INTRODUCTION

Karma Is a Bitch

The author admits to being a terrible person to date, despite being an effective coach and speaker. He dated multiple people simultaneously without announcing it, sometimes lying about it or ghosting people. He also sought attention from people who wanted more with him, even though he had already made his mind up about not wanting more with them. This is one of the reasons his content has been so hard-hitting.

The author acknowledges that he was not a gentleman, chivalrous, kind, or caring about others' feelings. However, he cared more about his own feelings. The most pain he caused was when things didn't lead to a relationship, because he wasn't ready for commitment, compromise, or future planning. He was ready to enjoy being in love, but not for a serious relationship.

The author believes that the job of a dating coach is not to fall in love and then strap in, but to enjoy the ride. When the ride stops being enjoyable, they get off. The height requirement for a serious relationship is much higher than the You Must Be This Tall to Ride sign reads for the roller coaster of romance.

Now, the author has been helping people for six years, at all stages of dating, coaching thousands of people in person, onstage, in one-on-one sessions, in small groups and large ones, at every step of attraction, and through every degree of heartbreak.

In Los Angeles, the author filmed their first YouTube video on 3 Tips for Getting Over Heartbreak and was greeted by an older man who struck a nerve. The author felt patronized and pissed off, but the advice they gave was not the right approach for someone climbing out of heartbreak.

The author's version of their formative life experience was its own cliché, as they made the same mistakes that people should avoid: rearranging their life to fit their partner's, ignoring red flags, pretended to want things beyond being with them, placing their sense of self-worth in the relationship, putting their career on hold, and losing touch with their deeper needs.

The author's journals are filled with encouraging self-talk to help cope with pain, such as If anyone can take it, I can, This is warrior training. If I can handle this, then I can handle anything. However, the author's determination and tolerance for pain can be dangerous when directed at the wrong target, such as martyrdom in a relationship where most of their core needs weren't being met.

The author's notes from the relationship reveal the lack of compassion and danger of their determination and tolerance for pain when directed at the wrong target, such as martyrdom in a relationship where most of their core needs weren't being met. Reading these notes makes the author's heart break for the Matthew in that relationship, but they serve as a reminder of the frightening degree to which energy can be expended in the wrong direction.

Matthew Levine suggests that reevaluating behavior that makes you miserable is not about putting yourself on a pedestal, but rather finding a place of love, truth, and restoration. He shares his experiences with his parents, brothers, boxing coach, and closest friends during his darkest times. However, he finds that one of the greatest antidotes to pain is more pain, not more of his own pain, but the pain of others.

In his darkest times, he found a special place to find this kind of communing, where he could feel less alone and feel more like his best self. This place was onstage or in sessions, where he would listen to people, talk through problems, and devise plans for dealing with their immediate issues. Having this community has made him comfortable making space for the pain of others.

On the last Love Life tour before the country shut down, Matthew spotted a man named Roy, who was trying to figure out what he can take from a male perspective. Roy shared his hurt from his ex's fast move on, which made him feel like he was not good enough. The room broke out in applause, and the entire audience laughed, including Roy, who shared their own experiences of heartbreak and the bewilderment of watching someone they're not ready to let go of.

Roy is experiencing immense pain from a recent relationship that didn't choose him. The author believes that the right person can only be the right person when two people choose each other. He encourages Roy to grieve as if they were the one, but to remember that disappointment is easier to recover from than the idea of losing the love of your life.

The author also emphasizes the importance of confidence in relationships, as it can lead to questioning one's worth. They advise against focusing on the ego element and instead focus on the weathered and scarred version of Roy. This version of Roy will become stronger by what goes wrong in their lives than what goes right.

A real relationship requires bravery, vulnerability, curiosity, vision, acceptance, generosity, faith, strength, and daily execution. Exceptional relationships are not found, but built. The author shares lessons and stories that have changed their life and the lives of millions of people who follow their work.

Love is universal and flows in all directions. The advice offered is rooted in human nature and is rooted in human nature. The author is grateful for the diverse audience and uses more inclusive language in their book.

The author believes that one cannot talk about love without talking about life itself. To have an exceptional love life, one must cultivate a love for life itself. The author invites readers to discover the tools they will need for both in their love lives.

Being Single Is Hard

Over fifteen years ago, a dating advice expert began giving sessions to men, leading to a surge in women seeking their advice. As women became more popular, the author faced questions about their role and knowledge about being a woman. However, these attacks often occurred after the session or recording, rather than during the actual crisis. The author emphasizes practical advice over positive thinking and encourages people to take real steps towards a long-term strategy.

The pressure women face from their families and friends when discussing dating and relationships can be overwhelming. The author emphasizes that being in a relationship is not the strongest qualification for success, as many people can achieve success even without being in a relationship. Instead, the author suggests that finding love through their work
