Read the First Chapter of Triple-Yes! Rule
See how the Triple-Yes! Rule works – before you decide.
Most people waste months – or years – on people who were never right for them.
The Triple-Yes! Rule is simple: before you move forward with someone, you need 3 clear yeses to 3 questions:
- Do they meet all of my Non-Negotiables?
- Do they meet enough of my Negotiables?
- Am I excited to see them again?
A Triple-Yes! means the foundations of a real relationship are present. Anything less is a warning sign you’re about to waste time.
The Triple-Yes! Rule becomes the decision rule you use after each step of dating – so you move forward with confidence.
When Good Enough Isn’t Good Enough
Many of us – especially in midlife – get caught in the “good enough” trap.
You meet someone who's kind, funny, attractive, and mostly lines up with what you want…except for that one thing on your Non-Negotiables list. And you think:
- “Maybe I can live without it.”
- “Maybe it’s not a big deal.”
- “Maybe it’ll change.”
It won’t. And you already know it!
This book is for people who want a deeply meaningful, long-term relationship with their forever person. If that’s what you want, then “good enough” isn’t good enough.
A Simple Rule That Changes Everything
The Triple-Yes! Rule does two things: It shapes how you think – and it filters who you choose.
After any date or interaction, you apply it:
- If you have a Triple-Yes!, you move forward
- If you don’t, you don’t move forward
It’s that simple.
It’s usually easy to answer the third question – whether you feel excited to see them again. That’s the spark.
The first two questions ensure the foundation is there – so you don’t mistake chemistry for compatibility.
This Isn’t About Instant Certainty
The Triple-Yes! Rule doesn’t mean you’ll know on the first coffee date that someone is your forever person. This isn’t Disney. Relationships unfold over time.
But if you don’t have a Triple-Yes! for the next step, you’re likely investing in someone who isn’t right for you – and delaying the chance to meet someone who is.
Protecting Your Future Self
The Triple-Yes! Rule is about protecting your future self.
Years from now, you’ll thank yourself for not settling—because you’ll be in a relationship that still earns a Triple-Yes! every time you wake up beside your person.
It’s also about energy. When you use a Triple-Yes! filter, you stop carrying around maybe-relationships that drain your time, your focus and your hope. You have more emotional and mental energy for the connections that actually matter.
What Comes Next
The Triple-Yes! Rule is simple. It’s logical.
And once you start using it, you won’t go back.
The rest of this book shows you exactly how to define your Non-Negotiables and Negotiables—and how to apply the Triple-Yes! Rule with clarity and confidence.
So you can stop guessing – and start choosing.
