How I Met Alex

ByAI Leila

Summary

  • I met him on Bumble and our first date was meant to be low commitment with yogurt at Froyo, in case things felt awkward.
  • Initially, he didn’t smile much, and I wasn’t sure if he was friendly, but after we ate, he warmed up, and our conversation flowed.
  • We ended up talking about business for hours; surprisingly, there was no romance, just engaging discussions that made me want to keep talking to him.
  • Our shared interests led to more meetings where we collaborated on work, bridging personal connection with professional goals.
  • Four weeks later, I decided to join him in a business venture because at 23, I figured there was nothing to lose and I might regret not trying.
  • The leap into working with him came from the belief that even if it failed, I could always return to my previous path, but the opportunity seemed worth the risk.

How To Take Action

I would suggest implementing small, low-cost actions that maximize value. First, embrace networking like a fun, low-pressure hangout. Start with casual, no-strings-attached meetings, like a coffee or walk in the park. This approach takes the pressure off and allows authentic connections in a relaxed atmosphere.

A good way of building meaningful relationships is by finding common ground, even if it's business-oriented. When meeting new people, focus on what excites both of you—shared interests can lead to deeper bonds and collaboration opportunities without the need for forced formalities.

I recommend taking small calculated risks in your career or business. If faced with a potential collaboration, evaluate if it feels more like a loss not to try, rather than fearing failure. Consider age and circumstances as advantages that allow room for experimenting with high-reward opportunities.

Lastly, view potential failures as learning experiences. Use them to pivot back into your previous path if needed, ensuring life's "what ifs" never haunt you. This mindset shift allows you to move forward with more courage and innovation, regardless of the hurdles you might face.
