Two Nerds Afraid of Rejection Who Wouldn't Be Engaged Without Their Friends, the Nerd Love Story of CJ and Ajax

from Date Like A Nerd · host Alex | Dating Anxiety Coach for Nerds

🤨 Do you need friends if you want to find your Player 2? Not necessarily. But they can certainly help! From making introductions to inviting you to the right place at the right time, helping you overcome your fear of rejection, or dating one of them, friends can be the pathway to marriage. CJ and Ajax's story is one of the best examples. It includes every single one of these! ✅💌 In this episode, CJ shares how they met through a friend in common but couldn't make a move, afraid that they'd get rejected 👻 Fortunately, they had friends who refused to let them miss their shot. Not once. Not twice. Three times, their friends stepped in at just the right moment to keep the story moving forward 💪👀 Because here's the thing nobody talks about: your social circle isn't just where you find dates. It's the supporting structure that makes dating possible in the first place. Without it, two people who were clearly meant to be together and lived 15 minutes away from each other might have stayed strangers forever.🎧 Press Start and discover how finding the right friends can lead you to love! ❤️👾 FREE GUIDE: WHERE NERDS REALLY MEET THEIR PLAYER 2 🕹️Based on real-world nerd data.
