Most people fail at dating not because they're not enough — but because they're running patterns they can't see. This podcast is about breaking those patterns. John Gagiu is a former pastor, human rights activist, Gottman Institute certified coach, and holds a Master's in Psychology. After his own divorce in 2020, he dedicated himself to understanding what actually creates real connection — and what destroys it. No generic advice. No clichés. Just real psychology, real tools for dating, attraction, and connection. 🔗 Dating Diagnosis Test (£3): ionutgagiu82.github.io/dating-diagnosis

    9. Flirting in 2026

    Everyone's connected. Nobody's connecting. Dating in 2026 is broken — and we all know it. In this episode, I talk about why flirting is dying, why nobody approaches anymore, and what's really going on beneath the surface of modern dating. I share my own story of learning to approach women — the fear, the failure, and what finally changed. We get into the psychology of attraction, what Gottman's research tells us about the small moments that build real connection, and six practical things that actually make a difference when you walk up to someone. Plus — I talk about why I created 12, a live connection event here in Newcastle designed to give people a real alternative to the swipe culture we're all exhausted by. No tactics. No games. Just honest conversation about why human connection feels so hard right now — and what to do about it. 🔗 Dating Diagnosis Test (£3): https://ionutgagiu82.github.io/dating-diagnosis📚 The Connection Course (£47): https://ionutgagiu82.github.io/dating-diagnosis/course.html🤝 1:1 Coaching with Coach John: https://ionutgagiu82.github.io/dating-diagnosis/coaching.html🎙️ The Connection Code on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0YtIzSaMC3N2zkW6QxSACO☕ Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/CoachJohnGagiu📱 WhatsApp Coach John directly: https://wa.me/447455264387🛒 Attachment Style Course: https://gagiu.gumroad.com/l/jxawmd
