Never Go Home Alone Again...
Summary
TLDRIn this video, the speaker offers practical advice on how to invite someone over to your place, focusing on two main scenarios: from texting or dating apps, and from social venues like bars or clubs. The key approach is to remove the pressure of the decision by redirecting focus to enjoyable, casual details like choosing wine for a homemade meal or offering a drink. The speaker emphasizes creating a comfortable, low-pressure environment by incorporating small psychological tactics, such as letting the other person feel in control and adding subtle friction to make their choice easier. The video provides actionable strategies for building comfort and connection.
Takeaways
- 😀 Think beyond the sale: Assume the outcome is already decided, which changes the way you approach getting someone to your place.
- 😀 Provide a reason for someone to come over: Offering a unique experience, like homemade pasta and a wine pairing, makes the invite more attractive and shifts their focus from 'should I go?' to 'what wine should I bring?'
- 😀 Frame your invitation as an experience: By offering something specific (like homemade pasta), you're creating an opportunity for someone to engage in a fun task (choosing the right wine), making the invitation more appealing.
- 😀 Overcome resistance by making the decision easier: Rather than focusing on the yes/no decision, engage their brain in a task that feels natural, like picking out a wine.
- 😀 If you're meeting from a venue, like a bar or club, chances are she’s already interested: After chatting and enjoying time together, simply suggest continuing the evening at your place.
- 😀 Have something at home to offer: A bottle of liquor or wine can be the perfect excuse to invite someone back to your place. Make sure you have options ready for when the opportunity arises.
- 😀 Be confident and persuasive: Offering something fun, like a specific drink or food experience (like Captain Morgan’s rum), can make the invitation feel special.
- 😀 Maintain your gentlemanly demeanor: Open the cab door for her, allowing her to feel comfortable and at ease during the transition from the venue to your place.
- 😀 Add an extra layer of friction for comfort: Let her get into the cab first, so she feels in control, and if she decides to back out, it’s easier for her to make that decision.
- 😀 Having a simple, non-pressuring reason to go back to your place makes the invite more natural and casual (e.g., walking your dog or playing a game).
- 😀 The key to getting someone to your place is not about pressure but creating a comfortable, engaging environment that makes the idea of going back seem fun and logical.
Q & A
What is the main purpose of suggesting a wine choice when inviting someone over?
-The purpose is to shift the person's focus away from the decision of whether or not to come over and instead engage them in a task (choosing the wine), making them think analytically rather than emotionally about the invitation.
Why does the speaker suggest inviting someone to your place with a homemade dinner?
-A homemade dinner is a unique and appealing reason that makes the invitation more attractive. It gives the other person a reason to come over, and the idea of a 'world-famous homemade pasta' adds a sense of exclusivity.
What does the speaker mean by 'thinking past the sale'?
-'Thinking past the sale' refers to expecting the person to already have mentally accepted the invitation and moving forward with details that make the invitation feel more natural and engaging, like choosing wine.
How does the wine selection process help in convincing someone to come over?
-It distracts the person from the 'yes or no' decision of coming over and shifts their focus to a more engaging task, like finding the right wine to pair with the meal. This makes the invitation feel less like a direct request and more like a collaborative effort.
What psychological effect does shifting focus from the invitation to the wine choice have?
-Shifting focus reduces resistance to the invitation. It makes the person feel involved and engaged, making the decision to come over feel more like an inevitable choice rather than a decision to be made.
How does the speaker suggest inviting someone to your place after meeting them at a bar or club?
-The speaker suggests casually offering to continue the evening by saying something like, 'Let's get out of here; I have a bottle of rum at my place,' and using the promise of a fun drink or experience to make the transition smooth and appealing.
What is the significance of opening the cab door for the person?
-Opening the cab door for the person is a small but important gesture of politeness and respect, which helps the other person feel comfortable. It also subtly leads to a smoother transition into the cab ride without making them feel trapped.
Why does the speaker recommend letting the person get into the cab first?
-Allowing the person to get into the cab first gives them a sense of control and comfort, which helps them feel safe and less likely to question the decision to go with you.
What is the role of small commitments, like entering the cab first, in the process of inviting someone over?
-Small commitments, like entering the cab first, create friction that makes it harder for the person to back out. By making a small commitment, they are less likely to stop the cab and leave, increasing the likelihood they will follow through with the invitation.
What does the speaker mean by 'friction' in the context of getting someone to come over?
-In this context, 'friction' refers to creating a slight challenge or obstacle that makes it harder for the person to change their mind. For example, letting them get in the cab first adds an extra step, making it less likely they will decide to leave before reaching your place.
