254: What To Do When The Attraction Isn’...

MATTHEW HUSSEY
About this episode

Have you ever been there? You meet someone online, the connection sparks, and attraction starts to grow with every conversation. But then, when you meet in person, something‘s off. Maybe their height isn‘t quite what the pictures showed, or their photos were way outdated. And even though you try to push past it, the initial spark is gone.

And now you feel stuck . . . You know you‘re not interested, but the thought of letting them down fills you with fear and anxiety. 

If this sounds familiar, you won‘t want to miss this episode. Audrey and Matt discuss how to navigate this situation if you‘re a people pleaser or struggle with guilt when delivering bad news.
