    No one is worth playing guessing games for. No one. Instead of focusing on how to sustain the attention of childish men, how about advice on how to spot these men before they waste your time and/or how to get straightforward men that will be upfront about wanting to be with you or not

    • @adamcorfman573
      @adamcorfman573 7 років тому +20

      I agree with you, but there's one problem. A majority of the dating advice I've seen for men is to be "mysterious, sexy, and spontaneous" and to not be upfront or direct. A lot of the advice for men says to not be upfront and direct. They say to be smooth and give hints (which is supposedly sexy) so that you will be more attractive to the woman.
      All in all, I see it that both the advice for women and the advice for men is basically saying to play mind games, and I think it's BS.

    • @serendipitousbliss6548
      @serendipitousbliss6548 6 років тому +6

      I think if your able to get to know each other in a real social setting as friends first then the dating game is completely different and what you say applies. Because the persons attraction is based on something real - on who you really are.
      Unfortunately in modern dating where often your meeting with people you have met only once or twice before for brief dates the rules simply change. And it works both ways for the guys and the girls. Everything this guy said also applies to women who pull away from men too. With some one who you don't really know properly but have started dating ..... unfortunately 90% of your attraction early on is not really based on who the person is. Its based on superficial view of who that person is .... which is mostly based around these small interactions via text and in conversations. How you carry yourself, how you "value" yourself determines how the other person views you. Its the sad reality of dating people who you haven't already gotten to know and developed genuine interest and affection for.

      @erinvandalay4764 6 років тому +35

      Big Boi Oh yeah, that's why they do that whole "wait three days" before contacting you bullshit that has been discussed many times in videos like this. Basically it's always about cradling their fragile ego but making sure you don't give them the impression you like them... God forbid that they realize they don't have to chase you because their sissy egos inflate then and suddenly because you aren't making them "chase" you, then you're less valuable. The sad part is, most of the time this is an average looking guy doing this to a female who is often times more attractive and could easily find someone else, but instead she saw something in him before his bullshit games started.

    • @serendipitousbliss6548
      @serendipitousbliss6548 6 років тому +9

      There are more ways to communicate then simply direct verbal communication. No contact actually sends a pretty direct message. I personally in my dealings with women prefer this let down tothe unnecessary and awkward "Im just not that into you" conversation. Seriously I'm a big boy and if a girl stops showing interest .... I don't hound her down and demand that she explain to me why. I go - ok - shes evidentially not interested anymore. Thats ok. On wards and upwards.
      Humans are intelligent and can read between the lines. The spaces having meanings in communications too. When someone stops talking ..... you get the message.

      100% agree. I feel like a lot of dating advice is BS. I also feel like if people complain about a spark not being there anymore or the attraction is lost throughout the dating stages they have unrealistic assumptions. Isn't eventually living with someone going to have its "boring" moments? Isn't that what a long term relationship entails? Supporting each other and loving each other for who they are?

    • @EyesOfAbraxis
      @EyesOfAbraxis 6 років тому +3

      Moon Struck yeah, the operative word there is both. He's just simply giving advice for what you should do on your part. If he's worth your time then he will do what he should on his part as well. There's a reason you came to this Channel and watch these videos, and it's because you want to understand things and be a better person and prospective mate and also a more effective Communicator in your romantic relationships, correct? Obviously, there are countless videos out there for men, whether they choose to watch them or not, that are more or less the same and provide Insight on how to talk to him in and what the best approaches are. I think Matthew has made it clear that none of these techniques are intended to be used in a manipulative divisive way to control someone. Because you simply can't force someone to love you. And he has said that time and time again. Impressively, what he's arguing here and in most of his videos, is not just how to manipulate some guy to do whatever the hell you want, but as a man, letting us know as women what is the most effective means of communicating with them in a way that they understand and that is most effective... But also, and obviously he certainly doesn't have to, he unceasingly emphasizes throughout his videos the incredibly vital importance of genuine self-confidence. Not just to get a guy. But for you. For your life. Because that is the key to unlocking your happiness. Forget just getting a guy. Having self-confidence is what will make your life worthwhile. And I think he's gone above and beyond to emphasize that. So I don't think it's right for you or any of the other commenters here to look at it as though he's basically that vomit-inducing creep who calls himself "Mystery" from the show "The Pickup Artist"... But for women. That douchebag is manipulative and the definition of disingenuous. That douchebag has no concern for approaching the opposite sex in a way that is respectful and could lead to a healthy relationship for both parties involved. Instead, that show is basically about teaching guys how to get laid by treating women like shit and being anything other than yourself. It doesn't teach confidence it teaches how to manipulate people. Matthew here, on the other hand, is simply trying to provide advice from a man's point of view but also goes out of his way to encourage and emphasize the importance of sincerity, compassion, understanding, confidence, self-worth, honesty and true happiness. He's simply trying to explain how best to convey certain things to men in a way that will be most effectively understood by them. Seeing as he is a male and most of his viewers are female, I think that, while no individual's opinion is foolproof or the answer to everything or without flaws, in the case of this Channel and these videos, he's providing not just tipz to manipulate and get a guy with no respect for who they are and only for what you want... He is pretty damn effectively explaining the psychological principles at work behind every relationship and behind most men's behavior and perspectives. As well as the psychological principles at work behind how many women try to communicate but find their efforts to be ineffective and they don't understand why. He is trying to help people create healthy, happy relationships were both partners are equally satisfied and the affection, attention, and overall happiness is reciprocal and the relationship is a healthy and rewarding one. For all the countless commenters who apparently look at it from the perspective that he's just telling women to say whatever to get what they want, says far more about where they are at psychologically and emotionally than it does about the Integrity or intent behind these videos. Matthew was just trying to help. And if you're watching these videos, it's because on some level you know you need help. You want to understand. No one's forcing you to watch it, and if you don't agree or think it's bad advice, find one of the countless other UA-cam channels that will tell you whatever you want to hear and perhaps that's a better solution for you. But don't badmouth someone who is basically providing free and largely accurate and insightful relationship counseling and encourages women to grow their self confidence and love themselves as well as be a better partner and a better human being. Not for the sake of a guy, if that's solely what you want and have no concern for their feelings or your sense of self-respect, you should probably find another Channel. Or more accurately, get yourself to a counselor because you have some far deeper problems than simply not being able to effectively communicate with men.

    If a guy wants to spend time with you, HE WILL. You can say this response, and I agree it's a nice way to put things, but with that girl's situation in the video, it doesn't matter how busy that guy was. If he was all about her, he would've made time or at least called her frequently. Something tells me he'd rather be working than spending time with her. He probably just wanted the weekend getaways, and yeah that's really shitty, but a lot of people are shitty like that. They don't want to commit but they either don't tell you that or they lie.

      I'm a guy and could not agree more. I recently met someone and am dealing with this now. She was fantastic and I did not care to tell her that on a follow-up. I added that I would like to see her, again. I didn't wait some time period like a day or three days or whatever we conjure up in our head to be the "right" amount of space. I embrace my vulnerability. When I start to second guess what to say, I second guess who I am and that is doing a disservice to the other person and even worse, myself. I like someone. I tell her. If she doesn't respond in kind, at least she knows where I stand, and I felt like I honored myself by acknowledging and stating my feeling.

    • @BlinkinFirefly
      @BlinkinFirefly 4 роки тому +19

      I keep asking myself the same thing. I see this come up a lot in relationship video comments. It seems to make perfect sense to just be upfront and honest. But then I try to remember that most people (I want to say most men) are selfish, insecure, or cowardly, and not in tune with their higher self. They allow themselves to be slaves to their hormones and to the idea that they need to "be a man". They let that blind them, and then don't seek to be truly open and honest individuals. Because they see that as being weak. Matthew is teaching women how to communicate with THOSE men. Because most of THOSE men are what exists. Logically, being open and honest and mature is the right approach. Unfortunately, if we want a romantic relationship, we're stuck having to play the game because humans don't typically choose logic over hormones and ego.

I didnt say heey where are you? I didnt call i did the exact same thing. He ghosted? I dont react. Cuz i feel that reacting to him makes him feel powerful that he is some important person that i should give a bit of energy to.

      As someone who has no issue calling people on their shit, I have learned in life, that there are many ways to call people on their shit.
      The bad way can shut the person down, wreck their ego, make them feel sad and pushed way.
      The good way can help them realize they were in the wrong, but make them still feel wanted, while also giving them encouragement to put in the effort it takes to change that bad habit or method that they'd gotten used to using on people who would let them get away with it.
      The difference between calling people out in a good way, or in a bad way, can be less than five or ten key words different.
      It's easy to blame the other person for not being able to handle being called on their shit, but it's good to remember that we can always be getting better at dealing with other people's issues.
      We ourselves have issues, and we'd want someone to be loving and gentle, but also clear and direct, when dealing with our issues.

    I dont think its possible to change someones mind if they are pulling away, so sending any text of any kind is going to look like manipulation. If you date someone and they begin pulling away, just let them go and dont make any more contact. My Grandma used to say ' if a man wants a woman, not heaven or high water can stop him' If he stops calling, just let go, that way, you avoid creating any more idea in your head that he wanted you in the first place.

Probably making myself too available. This time I smartened up and decided I was gonna play the game right back ! And am a week away from getting married and have baby #2 on the way. It wasn't EASY ! At all. Many times when He was pulling away when we were dating even through break ups. I always read up and made sure I didn't make the most common mistakes women make. Even when It seemed like we were done for good. I said and texted the correct things. If they take space never push to over compensate. Then you take space to. Always give the illusion you are having a good time even w/o them. It works.

    I can't believe I used to get his books and follow his advice. tbh, people do what they want to do and the guy KNOWS he's pulling away without you bringing it up. seriously, why would you even bother saying you're gonna take some space? aren't you already taking space since he has pulled away? fact is, he pulls away because he doesn't want to hear from you. and more often than not, these guys come back after they have their feelings sorted out. my guy left town for a month and for the first three weeks I barely heard from him. I just continued to live my life and meet people had had never reached out, not even once. after three weeks he reached out and I never mentioned anything about his lack of contact. and interestingly he has stepped up his effort ever since without me having to say a word. sometimes your silence speaks louder than words, so use it.

    It happens to me a month ago. After dating for 3 months. He told me he doesn't wanna get attached or miss me. That we should explore, & he said we can still hang out sometimes. Exactly what I said to him, "I don't wanna be with a man who doesn't know what he wants." After about a week of no contact he texted & wanted to be added on Facebook. We meet up for lunch then I didn't hear from him anymore. I'm too stubborn & old fashioned woman. Culture difference plays big part. Where i grew up in the Philippines, women have to wait for men to do the first move. And let them pursue you. Anyway, thanks for this video, Matt!

It's the guy who feels insecure about himself and what he wants, sounds like an issue for him. When you love yourself, you will attract the right guy unexpectedly, bc you realize you are happy and complete all on your own. This beautiful energy about you, will attract people to you.

Let me know when you do." versus, "I'm into you. *Poke* *Pout...* I'm up for grabs whenever you want me back." The first text would make a guy either go, hmmm... I gotta do something if I want to keep her around, or, eh... I'm done. If it's the latter, good riddance! Remember, we don't settle for MPIs. 😉

The thing about what Matt said and what the girl said looked similar but in the girls case she sounded "desperate". Showing to a guy that you're always there when he is free will get him bored or he may take you for granted. If you show him that you are appreciating your life with or without him he will want to know you better and perhaps have a place in your life. :)

Was that it? Someone?

      Hey Hristina,
      The difference between Matt and Sarrah's text is very small.Basically Matt's version makes the girl sound like she is rejecting the guy. Making subtle digs, like you don't seem to know what you want and I don't have time for that...it's a bit spicier. Where as Sarrah''s is so sweet and you can hear how much she likes the guy and how she will sit around waiting for him forever.
      Honestly, i don't think Matt's version will guarantee any success but, I do agree that most guys I know find it hot when girls are kinda bitchy verses sweet.

    What I did in this situation was a bit harsher. What I wrote after a week of him not texting me back (the last messages were about meeting up on the weekend, which never happened) was:
    "I just want to say that I get that you no longer have the intentions of interactacting with me. I do, however, feel like the respectful thing to do in your situation would be to simply say it to me, instead of slowly pulling away and leaving me to figure it out on my own. We're not 15."
    He responded that he completely agrees and he's sorry for not doing that and he's currently not in the right mental state to continue interacting. He apologized a second time for not being transparent with me.
    I feel like this gave me back my power and control over the situation, it felt good to call him out on his bs, without jumping to conclusions, just simply letting him know where I really stand in this situation. I got my closure myself, without expecting it from him and playing the victim.

      Glad I dodged that bullet, I don't need that in my lovely simple life at my age. And following a similar experience in a previous long term marriage. I value myself too much now to put up with that crap.
      I was deeply in love with him 30+ years ago before I married but he'd broken up with me. Out of the blue, no explanation.
      I moved on, but never forgot him-- the key being , who he USED to be.
      Turns out, he walled up, even against his family who all loved him, became a hermit, began some sort of fantasy life and set himself up as a victim of everything, and drinks his life away.
      Nope, don't need that.
      I'm happy now as a single mom a d grandma, I know for sure where I'm needed and wanted and valued, and loved unconditionally.
      Those people are my tribe.
      If someone ever shows up who is whole and loves himself in a healthy manner and respects women and wants to be a part of my life, cool.
      You can be sure that man will be thoroughly vetted by me.
      If that person can survive my scrupulous vetting and actually be a true friend and respect me as I am, he might pass.
      Til then, I am Me, I love and respect Me, and I am happy with my life. 😊🌻

    First of all, I’m grateful to found this channel and all the community here. I 100% agreed that we need to have our life purpose as priority. And was exactly what I was doing, focusing in my life and so on. That appeared a guy who got attracted to me and I was not into him during months, and he keeps trying to be present and also offered help in my life projects. I did accept and told him that at that point I couldn’t have a relationship because of my actual job (I’m tantra therapist) and he told me he didn’t have problem with that and he accepted that and keeps insisting to get closer from me. The last months he gave me gifts, we spent some time together, he made me promises, plans for nearby future and guess what? I fell in love. He texted me literally everyday and so on… when last week, he suddenly started to be off like 4 days straight… I got so confused. In resume I had a straight talk about what was happening and if was smth happening like “tell me now, I don’t have time to lose”. Then he told me he couldn’t continue building what have, cause he had other priorities etc. Still processing this suddenly breakup that not just made confused as hell as made me feel stupid to let him in my life when I had other priorities. I think the lesson learned from this situation is whenever you are sure about what u want in life don’t let someone get closer fast, analyse their true intentions, otherwise they will just steal ur energy and abandoned you. That’s why, you are the most important person in your life, to someone be part of it, they have to deserve!! Keep ur standard high!! Love u all, self love in first place, A L W A Y S

      Yep agree. Its seeing it purely as a "power game" and a very weak attempt to try to make the break up your decision and "regain power" as if that is the only thing that matters in building a relationship. It actually reads to me asquite petty and weak because of that fact.
      A strong person is ok with someone deciding they are not into them. They don't need to try to "reclaim the power". They just move on and find someone who is interested in them which would be my simple advice. No games, no perfectly crafted text messages to win them back. Just know you value, have standards and stick to them. Simple advice.

    Ok Matthew, you have seriously changed my life and the way I date, thank you! A little bit of a back story, I began seeing this guy about a month and a half ago, and he has always been so hot and cold when it came to the relationship.
    I got the point where I was just caught in a cycle of not knowing what he wanted, did he even like me- that was what I was always asking myself. After him not replying to my message after a day and a half I finally got fed up with the behavior and after watching this video I wrote exactly what Matt said. I was not thinking he would respond but he did and I am so thankful that I had the courage to stop the cycle and that responded as maturely as he did. Hopefully this will help someone that is in the same shoes as me.
    Me: I'm feeling some confusion from you, which is totally fine, but I'm going to take some space. Because I don't want to get closer to someone who's not sure what they want in a relationship, and at this point, I don't feel like you're really into the relationship that we have
    Guy: To be honest you're right. I wanted to talk to you about that at some point. It's something I'm dealing with. You're right I have no idea if I want something more right now because I feel like I have a million other things going on. My priorities are possibly not in line with yours
    Ladies, break the cycle and be with the guy that treats you with respect and wants to be with you. You can do it :) Thank you Matthew and Jameson!

      Sarah Kaderi yeah!! Just forgot about him and you already made yourself clear with him and yeah he just doesn’t care enough to respond back to you so just forgot about him and move on.
      Here is my situation. I have been talking to this guy for 1 months and one week. We were heading to relationship but he friendzoned me cuz I was acting like a crazy gf. In my opinion, he was not giving me time and was always busy. Right now, we both has feelings for each other. I want him and he doesn’t want me at all. We haven’t even met at all. We do click on texting.
      Today I messaged him this, “ I’m feeling hurt regarding our situation so I’m going to take some space because I don’t want to get closer to someone who doesn’t want me”
      I have received no messages from him and I’m hoping I don’t so I can completely forgot about him because he isn’t right for me at all.
      I had to text him that message because I was stalking him on Instagram and he wasn’t replying back to my messages. It was fucking my head. I was thinking of blocking him but then again that’s mean so I sent him this message. I hope he gets the message that I’m moving on and I’m not waiting for him to make up his mind about me.
      After I sent him that text, I felt happy

      Suzanne Delonas I was emotionally abused. He said that the relationship was not gonna be serious. I said that we should stay friends then. But he came to meet me again without mentioning anything about our last conversation. I don't know what to do.

    • @jenavineful
      @jenavineful 7 років тому +5

      Once he said " the relationship isn't going to be serious" I would have believed him. Know what you want first. It's not up to him, how your relationships are going to be, it's YOUR choice ;-). Men will avoid difficult conversations because they aren't emotionally mature enough to have them. What's important to you? What do YOU want? How do YOU want things to go? Be clear with yourself, and the message will be easier to convey to others. It is in the not deciding what women really really want (and writing it down) that they wind up with the men that aren't right for them.

    • @jenavineful
      @jenavineful 7 років тому +4

      Suzanne Delonas, after emotional abuse, you have to tread carefully if you are carrying on a relationship with the same person who was emotionally abusive. Set boundaries, know your deal breakers, before you get in a tight position. If you are in a new relationship, you have to still move carefully forward and be aware that each new person, is a new person, and careful not to throw your past relationship, into your future relationship. Maya De Angelou told Oprah Winfrey "when people show you who they are; believe them". I don't think who people are changes too much. They can get a greater education, and gain spirituality - and that can modify the course of someone's life, but who they are (values) do not change. It's the some of the best advice I can pass on to other women in the early stages of dating, and a good rule to follow when it comes to people.

    I've been watching Matthew videos since 2015. But back then, I never really had a proper relationship as I didn't want to. So I never tried all the techniques he gave before because I know his tips would work.
    But this year, someone came into my life and brought genuine love. Thus I don't want to lose him. I've been with him about 4 months now.
    I saw this video once it came out, and today I realised that my boyfriend has been really busy with work for 2 weeks now. I felt less priority to him as we usually talked on the phone while he was working before. We didn't talk much anymore. I felt like I started to invest more excessively in him once he pulled away which I believed is not attractive.
    So I get back today to this video and sent these texts exactly the same to him.
    His response was like " And what? You go out seeing other people? Stop texting? And btw, news flash. I still know what I want. I want you in my life... etc" he apologised and we got back on track like before but is actually better now.
    Thank you Matthew. I will always be staying in touch.

      There's a multitude of possible reasons, including being more interested in someone else or feeling less enthusiastic as when you started seeing each other. But I think that when it gets down to it, the reason doesn't matter as much as the action here. If he's actively disengaging, there isn't much you can do - his mind is made up. Trying to come up with things that'll persuade the guy to stay is just creating a climate of discomfort and resentment.

    Hey Matt I'm sorry, but if that text is the best example of your book, I don't think your book is worth buying. Im pretty sure once a guy is "pulling away" , your window of opportunity is pretty much over. Why not focus on how to prevent him from pulling away from the start?
    From what I have learned from my mistakes, guys run as soon as things get heavy.
    They start to get this "suffocating" feeling when things start falling into routines.
    Its inherently in their DNA to like the "chase', and if they are running from you, it means you as a partner are not allowing him to chase you.
    IF this happens, immediately shake up the routine. DOnt be predictable. Be spontaneous, mysterious, and sexy. They want to be challenged, tested and surprised. In order to do that you have to have your own life, friends, schedule, dreams, goals, passions, etc. Be busy and DO NOT BE CONSISTENTLY AVAILABLE. This allows them to CHASE YOU.

      Maya Marie - I also agree with you more than the advice that was in this video. Being too available to someone gives them the control of how the relationship flows. Then they feel they can say / do whatever they want, disregarding your feelings. Just like the girl who told the guy let her know when he is free in the future. Don't lose yourself within the relationship, which makes it easier for them to pull away, while you're left confused.

      That sounds exactly like the dating advice for guys I see on websites like Men's Health, Ask Men.com, and the like. It works both ways.
      I think we need to be careful how far we go with the whole idea of "Men like to chase." People are different. Some men don't like the chase as much, and they will probably be labeled beta males. Other men who do like the chase and do it well will probably be called alpha males. Or the case may be vice versa depending on the person.

    • @Princessmayamarie
      @Princessmayamarie 7 років тому +2

      +Adam Corfman It is true that you can't label all males as the same, nor are women. We all act slightly different in how we react or accept behaviors. However, in "love" relationships, there are factors of challenges the two personalities will spark and conflict. Love relationships are very different from "compatible relationships. If you want to be with a lover, you have to challenge yourself, and your partner. One should NOT depend so heavily on their happiness or dreams together, as it puts too much pressure on the relationship, and thus lead to one or the other to pull away. BALANCE is key in the success of love, and to do that you have to take care yourself, and each other.

      I agree. And I believe that a woman should have her own life, friends, schedule, dreams, goals, passions, etc. NOT because it will attract a man (which it will), but because it is the healthy, self-loving thing to do. And it will make you happy, whether or not you have a man. And that's the point of a relationship right - happiness? So if you don't have a relationship, then why not find other, self-actualizing ways that are within your control to find happiness? Finally, spending all this time thinking about how to get him back takes time away from you doing things that will make your life better, and makes you further invested in a situation that has shown that it is no longer worth the investment.

    I loved seeing you interacting with women and help them with their dating struggles straight away , I´m still in shock to see how much of an expertise you developed in dating and relationships, it´s just WOW, congratulations on your work and it´s such a GREAT source of inspiration for my UA-cam channel and project.

    I literally wrote this:
    At this point in time I think its best I step out of the equation for now. No matter what struggle we face, we should know whether we want someone in our life and to work on it through the ups and downs, no matter what circumstance. I am not interested in someone being unsure of the role I play in their life.
    I am not interested in being in a penpal friendship/relationship with you. I hope maybe in time we reconnect and I hope I will still be there.
    I hope you achieve all your goals that your working towards in life. I hope you get some clarity into the meaning of things in your life and space to work on it.

      Estelí Celeste Vela Cáceres he didn't react. Infact three months later I reached out to him. He was more than thankful. He is a sweet person at heart and probably did not know how to respond. He didn't feel like he can provide for me. I don't know so we spoke, and he has had a lot of unfortunate events. We speak here and there like once so far. But I am keeping my distance and just focusing on myself. I had tried dating this guy keeping it casual but I didn't like it. Felt like I'm giving my body to someone who doesn't want me in their future.

    I just did this. I won’t accept someone who thinks I’m a revolving door. I just won’t have it.

    The coolest advise ever!
    As for me, I don't like pulling anyone. Either someone comes to me by their own wish, or I'm not interested. And I'm never interested in people who are not interested in me.
    But when they are interested in me at first, then later they start acting like they are not as a interested any more, it is indeed confusing. So, saying "I need some space..." IS THE BEST thing to say !!!! Anything other than that will make you look desperate and clingy and over-available.
    If someone is not very clear or available to you as you'd like - DON'T CHASE AFTER THEM! Instead, take some space and BE WILLING to let go! That's truly powerful. That's also beautiful.
    A person who is always willing to let go is forever more beautiful than a person who is always willing to chase after someone.

    There is a french say that I learn when I was very young living in France. It’s this “suis moi je te fuis, fuis moi je te suis” it basically means “go after me and I’ll run away from you, run away from me and I’ll go after you”

  • @kimberlyfoster8485

    I did this today. The response was i respect your need for space. Hurting you is the last thing i would want to do.
    I was sad.

    Even though I am a guy, this is perfect advice for me: I always get "ghosted" by women, they always say that they're confused and don't know what they feel exactly or that they need time to do this and that...

    I've been listening to some of your videos I've gotta tell you, you are so insightful and I really like the things you tell these women to do and say, I think it's fabulous ...you're probably the best dating coach I've seen on UA-cam... Thank you for all of your wisdom

  • @andrian007

    A lot of his advice won't apply to dudes like me, but I like watching his videos. He doesn't lecture and tell you what to do, he engages in conversations and talks to you and connects with you. He's cool, I think I'll watch more of his videos.

    If he’s pulling away, he’s not into you. Break up or divorce. Done.

      I'd eat some, then get up and wander off somewhere more interesting, because hanging around women rehashing their love lives is just so repetitive. Nothing ever gets done.

    I loved that - are you going to post the full video of your picnic? I really enjoyed seeing your critique of real life situations because it's a little easier to relate to than just hearing your advice on its own (that's not to say your advice isn't already very helpful).
