Tyler Rich’s song, “The Difference,” is all about expressing your true feelings, rather than hiding behind semantics, which in some ways is about playing the game of dating, and Tyler admits that before he was engaged he was guilty of playing the game. He says, “The game is very tough, and you have to play the game. If you actually want to pursue somebody and them be interested in pursuing back.”
For example, Tyler explains how the game is played if you want to slide into somebody’s DMs (direct messages) Instagram. He says when you slide into someone’s DMs, “You’re in the pursuit. That person doesn’t know anything about you. That person didn’t see you from afar and come after you. So you have to do something that is going to make them – whether it’s your wit, your sarcasm, you making them wait – there has to be some type of strategy to catch their attention other than just your look right away. In most cases, I believe.”
Even when Tyler met his fiancée, Sabina, it was a little different because they met in person for the first time, and there was an obvious mutual attraction, but Tyler admits, “Yeah, for sure, you know I made her wait a little longer than usual but everything was so mutual right at the beginning that it just kind of seamlessly fell into place. There was a lot of minute game being played.”
Tyler and Sabina will tie the knot this fall.
Tyler Rich – the dating rules
“The game is very tough, and you have to play the game. If you actually want to pursue somebody and them be interested in pursuing back. Because let’s think of the DM game, you know, you’re DMing somebody on Instagram. You’re in the pursuit. That person doesn’t know anything about you. That person didn’t see you from afar and come after you. So you have to do something that is going to make them – whether it’s your wit, your sarcasm, you making them wait – there has to be some type of strategy to catch their attention other than just your look right away. In most cases, I believe. So yeah, I’ve played the game a billion times because there is a science to it. Not that I know the science well but there is one to figure out. But with Sabina and I we met in person at the same time and we both kinda felt this immediate thing together, in person. And so yeah, for sure, you know I made her wait a little longer than usual but everything was so mutual right at the beginning that it just kind of seamlessly fell into place. There was a lot of minúte game being played.”
