Max Levchin's married (and, judging by his Quora questions of late, also has a kid.) The lunch is purely professional.

I agree with giardini, this seems to be the point. A lot of people are simply too shy to go after what they want, reframing these interactions where 'failure' is 'success' is enormously helpful for those people as it turns the interaction into win win. You've either got a date with someone or you're one step farther along in Rejection Therapy. I think for the people who benefit from Rejection Therapy it's a mistake to think they are celebrating narcissism.

isn't levchin dating/engaged/married to Nellie Minkova?
