How To Give Fail-Proof Relationship Advice In 3 Steps

by Simon Cole

ListeningStep 1 – Listen
Step 2 – Listen more
Step 3 – Keep listening

At no point in this process should open your mouth to speak. If you have trouble keeping quiet (most of us do) then have some crackers and a nice glass of wine to keep your mouth occupied while you listen.

There are things that come after the listening. But if you really care about the person you’re trying to help –and you really listen to them–you’ll know what to say when the wine is gone and you’ve eaten all the crackers.

It’s that simple. Give it some practice and let me know if it works as well for you as it has for me, won’t you?

I like clothes that feel nice to wear, coffee without the bitter edge, granny smith apples, and making complex desserts. I like playing football in muddy fields, old pick-up trucks, and Belgian horses. I'd rather be alone than with somebody who is intentionally unkind. Details, I know... but we're all made of them. =)
