Four Ways to Prepare Yourself Before Making Your First Video
Take a deep breath
Seriously, a breath. Take a few more. You will be more relaxed and less anxious, allowing yourself to let the real you shine through.
That’s what people are craving, a connection. Something special. And they won’t find it if you start out being someone that you are not.
Make a List
Write down 5 things you like about yourself including some of your favorite interests, songs, or whatever you get excited about:
Yes, talk about these things verses some kind of pitch about how compassionate, cool, and intelligent you are. People are attracted to passionate people, and when you are talking about something you are excited about, you are more likely to attract someone of like interest. You do attract who you are in many ways, so get clear about YOU before you post anything out of impulse.
Set Your Intentions
What do you want to get out of this experience? If you have tried other online dating apps or websites, how can you utilize Ohi to have a more meaningful connection? What are you really looking for? Be honest, like, really be honest with yourself. If it is a long-term relationship, then keep in mind that is takes time to get to know someone. Consider not sharing too much right off the bat. I know, you may not want to hear this, but be patient with yourself and with the process.
Set Realistic Expectations
Try to approach this as a new experience, an adventure. Stay as open as you can in your heart, even though it’s always nerve-wracking putting yourself out there. Stay in the present moment, without making assumptions like “All girls are the same” or “All men want is X”. You set yourself up for repeating past mistakes if you go into this experience focusing on the past, OR making predictions about the future.
