When Gay Hendricks saw a lovely lady, he walked up to her and said:
“I’m very attracted to you. I want to spend time with you. But I want you to know that I’m only interested in relationships where each person is more interested in being honest, not hiding, where both people take responsibility, and where people are committed to their creativity. If that is OK with you, do you want to have coffee?”
How did Kathlyn react? She was thrilled that this man was so honest and straightforward. She knew exactly how he felt. And she was excited to get to know him better.
That was almost 30 years ago, says Kathlyn Hendricks, Ph.D., CEO and director of training for the Hendricks Institute, an international learning center that teaches the core skills of conscious living. She and her now-husband, Gay, coauthored a program called Attracting Genuine Love (now available as a CD/paperback combo). And she shared with us the secret to finding true love that guided Gay’s first comments and led to a strong marriage. What’s keeping you from finding love? Whether you never find anyone suitable to date, have a string of awful first dates or end up in unsatisfying relationships, the cause is the same: “There’s something about you that you don’t love and believe is fundamentally unlovable,” says Kathlyn. “You go looking for somebody to love it in you. You end up attracting someone who doesn’t love themselves. And then you end up with two negatives, which never adds up well.”
