Want A Date That Lasts?  Get A MAN-Chair

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

One of my clients had a busy professional life.  You know the drill.  She worked all the time and never had an opportunity to meet the special someone she could share a movie or a dinner or an evening out with.  Of course…she didn’t DO anything about it either.

We started out with getting her some new habits around exercise and de-cluttering and taking some important breaks for herself.  Finally, she decided it was not only time to RE-decorate her living space…it was time to DECORATE for the first time ever.  She began to realize that she had been on such a fast track to whatever…she had never stopped to really make her home…well…a home.  She had used it to study, open her mail, take messages, sleep, do laundry, and run out the door.  Maybe it was time to actually turn it into a haven; a comforting place to be; a welcoming retreat she looked forward to nestling into.  She hired a decorator.

Six months later she reported that her house was absolutely magazine-worthy.  When she walked in the front door, she couldn’t believe she lived there.

“Great!”  I said.  “Now look around and see if you’ve got a MAN-Chair.”
“What’s that?” she asked.
“That’s one of those big puffy swallow-you-up things with a kick-out foot rest your dad or your granddad used to sit in to watch TV that probably came from Sears.”
“You’re kidding,” she said.
“No…actually…I’m not.  It shouts MAN all the way across the room.”
She said … “But…my decorator would kill me.”
“She’ll get over it,” I said… “And so will you when you notice that every time a man comes over he heads for that chair.  It’s got to be really comfortable…something he can take a nap in.”
“The point is, you want to make a special place for the special guy you’re going to have in your life.  In the meantime, not only will YOU enjoy it, but every man… including your dad, brother, uncle, and guy friend… who drops by is going to head for that chair the minute they enter your house.”
She noticed.
Without saying a word… they did exactly that.
And a year later, when she met a fabulous guy, you don’t have to ask where he chose to sit…before and after they got married.

If you don’t know how to get a date…get a coach.  And before and after you get a date…get a MAN-Chair.
