LOVE IN 6: Same Dating. Same Results. Let’s Fix That.

I love September.

Not because I’m ready for pumpkin spice anything. I’m not.  (Though I did eat a pumpkin donut this morning!)

I love September because dating wakes up.

Summer is basically over. Everyone is back from wherever they went. Vacations wind down. Routines return. Dinner plans get made. Invitations start coming in. Calendars fill up.

September has a way of getting life moving again.

And dating? Dating wakes up.

And suddenly, single people everywhere have the same realization:

Oh. The holidays are coming.

Thanksgiving. Holiday parties. That wedding you said yes to six months ago. New Year’s Eve.

And if you’re single and would really rather not be single by then, I have one request:

Please don’t wait until December 15th to do something about it.

This is your moment.

Give me six weeks.

That’s it.

Six weeks. Six sessions. Six challenges.

LOVE IN 6.

And here’s the whole idea:

We’re going to shake up your dating life.  In a new way.

Because after 33,000+ first dates, 10,000+ marriages and 30+ years of helping singles...I know one thing for sure:

If your current dating strategy were working brilliantly, you probably wouldn’t be reading this.

Ouch.

But true.

So I don’t want you doing the same things for the next six weeks and hoping somehow you’ll get a different result.

Nope.

We’re going to do things differently.

This is not therapy.

This is not homework.

And it is definitely not six weeks of sitting around talking endlessly about why your last relationship didn’t work.

We’re going to DO things.

Fun things.

Different things.

Things that get you out into the world.

Things that may make you slightly uncomfortable.

And probably a few things that make you say:

“Andrea, there is NO WAY I’m doing that.”

Good.

Those will probably be my favorites.

Maybe you try the app you swore you’d never try.

Go somewhere by yourself.

Talk to someone you normally wouldn’t.

Say yes to an invitation when your first instinct is to stay home.

Let somebody fix you up.

Change your photos.

Rethink your “type.”

Flirt.

Make eye contact.

Send the message.

Stop spending three weeks texting someone you haven’t met.

Go on the damn date.

And perhaps the most radical idea of all?

Have some fun with this.

Because dating is supposed to lead to something wonderful. It shouldn’t feel like a second job you hate.

Anybody can do something for six weeks.

That’s what I love about LOVE IN 6.

I’m not asking you to reinvent your entire life.

I’m not asking you to commit to a year.

I’m asking you to give me six weeks of different.

Six weeks of being curious instead of cynical.

Six weeks of trying something before deciding it won’t work.

Six weeks of saying yes a little more often.

Six weeks of getting out of your own way.

Six weeks of shaking things up.

And each week, we’re going to tackle something that matters:

Clarity. Confidence. Connection. Action. Attraction. Results.

But I don’t want those to be six pretty words sitting in a workbook.  Though you are getting one you’ll work step by step with me on the phone.  Oh, yes, it’s fun.  (According to 3 clients last week.)

I want you out there using them.

Because dating is not a spectator sport.

And love has an incredibly difficult time finding you when you’re home watching Netflix in your pajamas.

And the timing? Couldn’t be better.

Labor Day kicks off one of my favorite dating seasons of the entire year.

People are back.

People are available.

People are making plans again.

And yes—people are thinking about their lives and who they’d like to have in them.

That gives us September.

Then October.

And suddenly we’re staring at Thanksgiving, holiday parties, December and New Year’s Eve.

Do the math.

Someone you meet in September could be the person you’re on date four with in October.

The person you’re genuinely excited about in November.

The person you’re kissing on New Year’s Eve.

Am I promising you that?

Of course not.

Anyone who promises you love in exactly six weeks is selling you nonsense.

But I can promise you this:

Nothing changes if nothing changes.

And I am absolutely not interested in having you arrive in January saying:

“Okay, THIS is the year I’m really going to date.”

No.

We’re starting now.

So here’s my challenge.

Give me six weeks.

Be game.

Be curious.

Be a little brave.

Be willing to shake up a dating life that may have gotten a little too predictable.

You don’t need another year.

You don’t need the perfect body.

You don’t need the perfect photos.

You don’t need the perfect moment.

And you certainly do not need a completely healed, completely organized, completely fabulous life before you can meet somebody.

You just need to start.

And we’re starting now.

LOVE IN 6.

Six weeks.

Six sessions.

Six challenges.

A completely different approach to your dating life.

And potentially one hell of a different holiday season.

Ready to shake things up?

If you’ve been reading this thinking:

Okay, Andrea. Maybe it IS time I did something different…

Good.

Reply to this email with:

“YES, Andrea. I’m ready to SHAKE IT UP.”

I’ll personally get back to you and we’ll set up a 20-minute LOVE IN 6 Strategy Session.

You’ll tell me where you are, what you want, what you’ve been doing—and we’ll talk about whether I’m the right person to help you shake up your dating life for the next six weeks.

No boring sales call.

No pressure.

Just 20 minutes. You, me, and what we might be able to change in six weeks.

Come on.

You can do anything for six weeks.

And who knows?

Your holiday love story might just start now.

Six weeks. Let’s shake it up.
