      I'm watching this not because I'm into texting or online dating, I'm here because I'm trying to decipher what a woman was thinking when she texted.
      Women don't like investing in men either. I take care of myself so I must be shallow and like to sleep with lots of bimbos right?😂

      Well, in my case it was footprints. I had asked this guy to every now and then be the first one to say hi. He was the type not to initiate a conversation but then keep chatting for hours, sending photos of himself and his surroundings. A few days later (of silence, as I was not going to initiate any more conversations) he sent 👣👣👣👣👣👣👣. Just that. I asked him what that was and he said "I'm leaving my footprints everywhere. Applause". I swear, some guys...

      Calls or even video calls are definitely are better than texting but yes these are fillers and just check-in’s. You should be meeting up for dates/activities in public places not their home.
      Because the call/text becomes emotional less boring after a while if ur not spending time together . That’s a common failure in the connection not progressing.

    As a dominant woman that usually does the chasing, the advice on not compensating over the lack of interest and laziness of the other person is really good. It's incredible how the things switch when you start tuning into their same level of energy.

    I like to let her talk about herself 70 - 80% of the time, and let her ask about me so she feels listened to. Which is an element that is generally missing from later stages of relationships.

      ​​​​​@@danzilthard.7248Dan is correct. Trying to open up will undoubtedly lead to a woman leaving because now, he's unstable with his feelings.. Then, that happens over and over and over.. so instead of getting practice to become better, we are rejected. That's how I've been trained and I wanted to believe 2 people could help make life better for each other. I still want to believe it but the reality is currently saying otherwise. I will only be of value when I am healed, have enough emotional strength to internalize everything, and can provide financially. As a man, wanting to be kind, nice, helpful, compassionate, etc doesn't get a guy anywhere with men or women. Men have incentive to be jerks, it's fucked up.
      When a woman gets emotional or is struggling, 5 dudes wanna save her. A girl I was dating needed to move a travel trailer that was stuck in the mud. 3 other guys and I were there to help this woman who "doesn't need a man".. Who finally got her out? A man whom provided for his wife who had a jeep with a winch.. there are exceptions, no doubt but more often than not..

An inauthentic game is eg refusing to answer texts timely to look important. but it's authentic to delay responding if you ARE busy. notice that the tips Hussey is giving here are tips on how to show more of your authentic self. more sides of you. more flavourful. and more expressive of what you want/need. nowhere here did Hussey tell you to lie or trick someone.

      People feel most connected whe they feel heard. They feel most loved, when they feel connected.
      If she feels heard she will want commited longterm relationsip and also offer him listening.
      The same is with customers. If they feel heard, they always come back. They see a genuine interest.
      Woman feels loved the most, when she feels heard, therefore she is inspired to listen.....because she realizes on the other side of phone isnt just some "artificial robot"
      If man feels heard he feels loved the most.
      If their kids feel heard, they will listen because they feel loved and it inspires them to share ideas.
      "fake nice men" seek short term pleasure, or approval, from customers or wife, without listening.
      "genuine nice men" offer listening and communication and mutual respect.
      You seek a genuine partner
      but make sure when they offer genuine listening, or genuine texts
      that you are able to share a genuine ideas, so they see your true personality,
      so they react to your genuine personality, not to "a fantasy" self. (the fantasy of some tv show)
      only then you realize you have connection, because they react to your true personality, and you react to their true personality.
      Maybe humor is also a good indicator that the person is genuinelly interested, that isnt looking for a perfect answer all the time.
      So first listen to your thoughts, without judgment. It gives you love and empathy from yourself and to change some habits.
      because when you dont judsge yourself you changhe habits much more easily.
      and then you are able to listen other people, so they feel heard, loved and happy and
      maybe they notice not just their flaws but also the good qualities about themselves.
      they see that you dont judge their flaws, or that they dont judge your falws because often flaws can be short term thing and people learn new things.

      ask someone out in real life instead. They will be able to see you aren't a psycho and see that your appearance comes across as someone who can actually take care of themselves. So there are way less games actually played. Asking someone in person requires getting off your ass as well which does show that you aren't low energy like many people on dating sites.

    You can't build an entire relationship through texts, it's a bridge of communication/stay in touch with your love one and depending the type of situation texts work. Is important to identify if is long distance relationship or your traveling and can't see them, communication via texts is fine. In all situations real interest you make the time for it, including phone calls, videocalls or even see them in person.
    Also is very important to know the other person in how they communicate and express themselves.

    Why do I always fall for guys who are not responding to me Matthew? I'm in a same situation as you described - texting back and forth, not inviting me out, he knows I like him, he said he likes me, messages are fun but that's it. We are in our 40s!! I give him hints I'd like to have a man like him (in case he is shy) when he reveals something nice about his personality. But when I do it, he doesn't reply for week even tho I see him online....
    I go on other dates too, don't wait for him but - how to date when around 40? It's sooo hard.

      With this situation that's been going on for some time, I guess 🙄
      You know how I feel about you. I've literally said it even! I am interested in you in a romantic, serious way.
      Are you interested in me that way?
      Cause I need more clarity from you.
      And see what he responds 🤷
      It's as simple as that, brave, beautiful, strong woman that you are, that should be no effort 😏😉
      Don't stay afraid of the answer...
      To avoid discussing important issues with someone.
      It IS something that NEEDS to be done, otherwise it wouldn't bother you 😕...
      You deserve to know so ya can finally let go of that hovering fear that's always there! Keeping your mouth shut 😔
      Even if your worst fear, rejection by him, comes true....
      How unfortunately and disappointing it wil be ...
      You no longer live in fear! 🤗
      Truth comes out, one way or another, sooner or later,
      Why prolonge your path of agony for peed sake?!
      Don't punish yourself that EXTRA , when you're already having it emotionally very hard...
      Stop te confusion
      And put an immediate hold 🛑 on letting your insecurity be fed, my love.

      You ARE brave
      You WILL get through this

    Bottom line is, never fake indiference, men need to know where we stand. If the girl isn't showing interest in her texts, I will get tired and walk away very fast.

    I think love is like Grace - it falls upon you - and when it does - you don’t need any advice. Whenever I turned to someone for an advice it was a wrong man, or wrong feelings and wrong connection.
    When I had a beautiful relationship I could write better text messages and my humour and attraction was on top, my intuition kicked in and it all flowed naturally, playfully and beautifully. Not only from my side but also from his.
    However, in the degenerated world of modern dating - we do need advice to protect ourselves, rather than find love. Love will find whoever is searching with an open heart.

    An ad for St. Jude's hospital came up with this video. It's the first time I see them mention HTRT. It's heart breaking to want to know how a child with that is doing yet needing to keep your distance from a family friend that no longer communicates with you. The father is the best friend of an ex who at times was abusive. A 12 year relationship that was never right, never whole. Now I'm repeating similar mistakes with a new 1 year relationship that feels even more empty, even though the first 3 months were on fire. Never felt more passionate, then after those 3 months it all came crashing down when I did. I fell at his place and slammed my head against the wall. (Fell when getting up, my leg was numb and gave out) He didn't react well (he thought I was in denial from a possible MS diagnosis) and never took me to the hospital. Yet I still stayed for a year after that. In every instance the night ends with him spooning his dog. Even the night I fell. It actually gets worse after that.

I slowly getting back into the dating game, but I wonder if his videos apply to both men and women or is his target audience only women. I ask because men and women have different approaches when it comes to dating. So far he makes some great points. I just want to make sure I’m getting what’s right for me as a man. But so far so good Matt.

    Unfortunately with #1 I do have to delay message back sometimes because I am in the unique situation where I always have immediate access to my phone. I work for myself. If I text back immediately every single time, especially if I am just starting to get to know someone, I'll look desperate or eager. I vary texting back either immediately or wait as long as 3 or 4 hours. I also try to keep the momentum going if I respond immediately and he answers back right away too. I'll continue to answer back and forth right away to keep up the live conversation.

    I have been talking to someone for 2 months or so. Now talk on the phone every night, trying to balance texts and calls and it's not always easy.
    Sometimes she will not respond all day at all, she sees them. We talk on the phone every night, maybe she likes to be more direct.
    Cant let your thoughts get hold of you overthink it.
    We wanna meet, we feel a connection and communication is good so far. We also know each others intentions and are exclusive. When I text her, I will send pics i take or things im doing. I try to mix it up, but now we talk on the phone lots may not need to text as much.
    I am sure many in the comments been though this. Now the next step is meeting face to face, someone I was talking to never met so im a little anxious the same may happen here.

But maybe the whole point is to not even care about those people. I’m here to go out on dates and be proactive, not to be running into people who are scared about any sort of move by a guy to ask them out.

    Texting is a lazy cop out to building, or maintaining, a relationship. It is like giving money or giftcards as a gift only because you really don't care enough to spend time and effort shopping for something the person would like. It is quick and easy to send off a text. It takes involvement to have a live phone conversation. Text messages have their place, but they should be minimal at any stage of a genuine healthy relationship.

I'm an outgoing person and don't have trouble talking to women really but I am rusty on my game of funny banter and teasing with flirting. This gave me some ideas so thank!!
