One of the biggest things that Ryan is told about dating is that people don't feel like they are mature enough or ready enough to get married. Ryan and Kayla break down different levels of maturity. They talk about self-mastery over your emotions, passions, and appetites. There is another level of maturity which is having mastery over your physical attractiveness which can be how you move your body, get enough sleep, and what you fuel your body with. The last sign of maturity is progression, having goals, and being motivated. Maturing in these areas of life leads to being more ready to take your dating relationships a little more seriously.

The last episode is about becoming less socially awkward with the help of two guiding principles, thinking and observing. The remaining 3 principles of becoming socially attractive are meekness, asking, and seeking the spirit.

As you transition to a more enjoyable dating experience, the next step is going on more dates. In this week's episode, Ryan, Kayla, and Sarah talk about the two things that get you on more dates: proximity and attractiveness. Get yourself to locations where you can be social. Go to the institute building, your school, the library, the gym, or the skating rink where you can meet individuals who are like-minded. The idea is that you get yourself to where like-minded individuals will be so you can interact with them. The next step is to enhance your attractiveness, the things that draw people to you. We dive into the importance of spiritual, social, emotional, and physical attractiveness. In the next couple of episodes following this one, we will explore what actions one can take to actually enhance those desired attractive qualities.
