LOVE IS A NUMBERS GAME. HERE’S HOW YOU WIN.
In every area of life except for love, we accept that time, energy, and intentionality are required for success. Yet when it comes to the incredibly important question of a life partner, we’ve all heard “It’ll happen when it happens.” It’s supposed to be magical—a fairy tale. Of course love has its serendipitous moments, but it’s also a numbers game. Therefore it can and should be steered by informed choices. But how, exactly?
Enter dating coach Tim Molnar, who delves into the latest research in psychology, human behavior, relationship science, his own personal journey, and those of his clients. From these he has gleaned a uniquely modern approach that incorporates empirical data and encourages being proactive and strategic. His methods will help you optimize your search, give you confidence in your interactions with strangers, and offer hope during the tough moments along the way.
Numbers games can be daunting—but the good news is that if you understand how they work, you can find success in the end.
