Hello Churnlings,
Tis I Papa Churn returned from a distant strange land (London) to encourage, berate, irritate and advise you churnlings. What experience do I have I hear ye yell? I was taught by the master of churn, my sister Madame Beef and am now well versed in the ancient art of dating.
Firstly the purpose of Churn has no specific purpose, it is what you make it but the fundamental strategy is to put you outside of your normal comfort zone. Is it hard? Yes. Does it take time and energy? Hells yeah. Finding true love is a hard process, but if it was easy it wouldn't be worth as much.
Firstly snaps to all of the our churners who have met the August 1st deadline with real vigor! Here are some mantras to help you along the way:
1. Be honest. Cheesy but true, don't play games and don't lead people on, be up front and clear from the beginning, you don't have to over share but if you're not interested in someone don't lead them on.
2. Treat others how you wanted to be treated. Simple but effective.
3. Keep an open mind. The likelihood is that you won't meet your true love jumping from a plane skydiving with a bunch of strangers but putting yourself in new situations helps to open your mind and encourages you to think about people you may have initially rejected.
4. Assume anything and you make an ASS out of U and ME. See what I did there? Don't assume that just because he's an accountant he'll be boring. Don't assume because he calls you straight after your date he loves you. Keep your horizon of expectation a nice flat spirit level.
Repeat these basic mantras churnlings and you will succeed!
Go forth and churn my pretties!
