Professional Pickup has been busy doing multiple interviews ever since the Washington Post Magazine cover story.
First, we had an amazing online Questions & Answer session with the Washington Post, which cleared up a lot of who we are in regards to the article.
Later that day, James Norton fielded some live questions from MSNBC at their Studio overlooking the capital. We’re still trying to get a clip of that interview.
Later that week, James sat down with Vitor Gonçalves of RTP news (Portugal’s news station) and answered some questions about dating in Washington, DC. James comes on about the 25 minute mark. This being being European news. It may be a little racy for some and might be Not Safe For Work (NSFW).
And if you don’t have time to read all that, we got our story summarized by The Week. Just one point of clarification, we do talk a lot about making emotional connections. In fact, you can’t really do much without paying close attention to emotions. Sigh. Reporters, what can you do?
We have another major television interview this week and some exciting opportunities coming up. Be sure to check in and see all of the new exciting projects.

The Washington Post article got a lot right and we are happy with the personal emails and positive comments that we have received. There is even more to our story. We know that women are amazing and individuals. Everyone in this world is different. We embrace that with our teaching and try to bring out the best in each of our clients, men and women. We want people to be better people in the world.
First, we focus on a completely natural way of approaching and meeting men or women. No lines, no routines, just you. That’s all you need. We help give you the tools necessary to make the necessary connections to have a relationship, whatever that may be.
Second, We have four rules that are the cornerstone of everything we teach: 1) No Lies 2) No Negativity 3) Have Courage 4)Take Full Responsibility.

Being shy about expressing what you want, does no one any harm… except yourself, and does no one any good… including yourself.
And most of the time, no one is really ever paying any attention, so what’s the point of hiding?
There is none.

We all know being in a position of leadership is an attractive quality to have, but do we really know what it takes to earn it?
It takes a daily march of persistence with your goals in mind, regardless of your position in life. There are no natural born leaders, there are just people that persist in the face of adversity when all others have given up. If you can take the pain the longest, you will end up in first place.
Did you do any of these things today…
A few weeks ago, Ernesto (Deline) and Brother James had the pleasure 
to sit in on a podcast with The DC AM. The guys were great and we had an awesome time. Lots of good information was given and… yes we know now not to Skype in. Phone calls next time.

“Recent research in clinical psychology has shown that the fastest way to change an emotion is to change the behavior attached to it.”- Dr. Noam Shpancer, Action Creates Emotion, Psychology Today.
As Dr. Sphancer’s article reminds us, taking action leads your emotional center. So taking responsibility for your social life is a critical component to being a well balanced adult. Sitting around waiting until you “feel like” being talkative is just not going to happen. You have to take the action first.
Frankly, you should consider yourself lucky.

As dating coaches in the Washington DC area, one of the most frequently asked questions we get from women is why do so many men use text messaging to ask them out? Many women lament that getting asked out over the phone seems to be a dying art in the digital age. Men are asking women over text, email, Facebook,
Guys, you want to know what I tell them?

There’s always a bit of fear that goes into approaching women. From the moment you see who you want, your reptilian part of your brain starts to fire off all kinds of reasons why you should preserve your ego from getting bruised.
“She’s out of my league.”
“She’s talking to someone.”
“She must be with that guy.”
“She saw me look at her but she didn’t smile back.”
“She’s too _______.”
The typical advice is not to think so much and just go talk to her. Everyone has heard of the “three second” rule by now. And yet, if that solves the problem, why does it continue to affect so many guys?
