According to wikipedia "Emigration is the act of leaving one's country or region to settle in another. (..) There are many reasons why people might choose to emigrate. Some are for reasons of religious, political or economic freedom or escape. Others have personal reasons such as marriage. Some people living in rich nations with cold climates choose to move to warmer climates when they retire."
Well, neither of these reasons apply to me, but nevertheless I decided to move from Germany to England where it always rains and the men are not really classified as the most attractive ones in the whole wide world. When you have lived in a foreign country before, you might know how different, awkward, funny and difficult your daily life can become.
Here are some highlights of my life in London Town.

How To Get the Guy

Yesterday was probably one of the last summery days in London and I have to admit I spent it inside. I attended  a seminar about "Find Mr. Right with the UK's top dating coach?!"
A friend of mine invited me, it was for free (check it out on meetup.com because unlike most of the other girls I didn't pay a penny for it) and you know I'm always interested in:
1) What kind of people, in this case women, go to a seminar like that and why?
2) What is he/ she gonna tell me I don't already know?

First of all, I have to say I was very surprised to find more than one hundred young, very good-looking, smart and charming girls there. I was thinking how can it be that they can't find the right guy? Matthew answerered it by saying that we behave differently around the one guy we actually like - which is definitely true. And some of the girls told me they don't even feel confident about smiling at guys they like. That's also the reason why we always attract the wrong guys. We are relaxed and chilled out around them. Some girls said they even postponed their dates in order to use what they would learn in the seminar. That's how insecure some of them were even though they seem so attractive and successful in other parts of their lives

Second of all, I know exactly why the media (he talks on the BBC, ITV, CNN and is in all big newspapers and magazines) and also women love Matthew. He is very handsome, charismatic and a brilliant speaker. Check him out for yourself:


In my humble opinion, his presentation yesterday was too much rehearsed. But I could see that it worked with most of the other women in the room. He is very experienced in speaking and coaching. He used to be a life coach for over 5,000 businessmen who not only asked him for advice in their professional lives but also regarding dating and relationships. He now coaches women, because he knows men inside out and wants to help women to improve their love lives. 

Third of all, he actually gave some interesting insights and points, e.g. the 3 step process how to attract a guy without obviously doing the first step and getting yourself in a possible zone of embarrassment:
1) Give him the look
Look at him for 1sec and then look at him again for 1sec with a playful smile
When Matthew first asked around for how long you should look at the guy someone said 30 sec, lol.
2) Get Closer
This one is about comfort zones and he explained that when someone stands in front of you, he/ she is too close, but when someone stands next to you, for example at the bar, it's even ok that this person touches your shoulder, right?!
3) Ask for a favour
It's easier to talk to someone if you ask him a favour, like could you hold my coat for a sec. Then you can say thanks and start a conversation. Plus, men like to provide and protect, so they feel great if they can help us with something.

This "Secrets of Attraction" seminar was just a little taster of the insights and practical advice that Matthew and his team of coaches deliver on the "Women's Weekends" which costs about £750. I didn't sign up for the weekend, but probably 2/3 of the girls there yesterday did.
I'd say your love life is very important and if you have been unhappy in a long time, then I think it's good to get some advice. But if you just want to know some little tips and tricks, check out Matthew's website: http://www.gettheguy.co.uk/
