      True. No one should need to wonder. Communication is very important.
      And if one has to assume, in any way shape or form then assumed that they were just being busy for family emergencies or something like that. But don't reach out wait for him to reach out to you.

    Why does it bother me so much that he hasn't responded to my message?
    Am I going to obsess about this or am I going to see this for what it is?

    for me, if a guy pulls away becomes he’s busy esp, but for any reason, he should communicate and let you know what’s going on as a sign of respect. whether you just started dating, have been dating for a while, or any time. i treat people with respect and want to be treated the same in return. this is setting boundaries. anything less will erode the relationship. no one should have to endure guessing games. common courtesy has been lost in our world. it’s inexcusable.

    Pulling away is not a big deal and doesn't mean it's the end of a relationship either. But a grown man needs to know how to speak, so when he comes back around just firmly and lovingly lay that on him. Simple. Meantime, live your life. This is YOUR life, enjoy it, every moment. Any second spent worry-warting is a waste. Having that kinda unbothered and respect-for-self energy speaks volumes.

    The thing is, why can't you talk to men about being straight with us? Of course it instils fear and insecurity when a man starts pulling away or ghosting as its now known, why is it always the women having to have coping strategies??? Why can't they grow up and be honest and confront the situation?? So sick of hearing 'a woman must do this and a woman must do that' why can't men learn to behave properly? Why is society still encouraging misogynistic behaviour???

      Women, please!
      Why you always have to be so self centered and take down men?
      It might be, that your dream men already had their hearts broken, been abused by the previous women.
      Don't blame yourself, don't blame your men, instead blame the crazy women - and men - outthere who are dangerous to the community.
      A dog bit me once, now I am afraid even of the dogs who are smiling at me and wagging their tails.
      Be good women and show your men how to trust again.
      But don't even think about turning into a villain dog again, not for a little bit.
      Men already had villain dogs, don't forget this.
      Don't wish A and do B, be reflective all the time.
      We men have feelings too.
      But in the evolutionary context, men had to hide them during fight, battle, hunt or catastrophies, so men are good at not expressing them properly.
      The only space, where men were allowed to express their genuinely intimate desire, has always been in their caves or a secret spot, during mating time.
      This was during evolution.
      Today we live in revolution and globalization.
      Men are allowed to do nothing anymore, everything is wrong they do, they are loosing their maculinity slowly.
      Please women, gather in the streets, hold up signs that say: We want good and nice men back!
      Show them!
      Tell them!
      Seduce them!
      Thank you!

After a bad break up 15 years ago, I really took a look at my life and made drastic changes, I was unhappy in my job, broke, wasn’t really taking care of myself, so I changed things one step at a time, a year later I had a new career, was earning better money, had new friends and was hitting the gym 4 times a week, I used the breakup as a ‘break through’ and it changed my life for the better 🌈🌈🌈

    I just match his efforts. If he makes an effort, I make an effort. If he doesn’t make an effort, I put my effort somewhere else. Advice: find something you love besides the opposite sex. For me, it’s my guitars. When I find myself looking at his moldy breadcrumbs, I refocus. I just give all my attention to my electric and shred all my insecurities through my fretboard, like a paper shredder. After about an hour, any trace of him is gone from my mind and I feel like an extreme badass. It’s a great way to boost my confidence and it minimizes the urge to ask him for an explanation.
    So find something that makes you realize you’re too awesome to be ignored and you may even realize that you’re also too awesome for him.

    Love the analogy. Get a life and do nothing, if bad wine it will expire, if good wine it will just ferment and will taste even better with time. The wine stands for this connection. I would also add that he has to come back CORRECT, not just come back to repeat the same hot and cold cycle again. The most dangerous guys are often not the ones who doesn’t come back, but the ones that come back and leave and repeat same thing to waste your life. If you are attracted to this kind of guy, you might have addiction to the emotional inconsistency and confuse trauma bond with love.

    The problem is that whether you keep silent or say sth - you are still in the same frustrated energy. It won’t change much on its own, yes you can focus on your life but what if you are not able - what if there is a massive open loop that drains your energy. That needs a closure. Silence may even harm you. If he is so selfish and gives mixed communication l’d choose sth that helps ME. If being silent harms me, I won’t settle with that, I’d say what I think firmly, close all open loops and move on. What he thinks of me I don’t care honestly :) if it pushes him further away, even better. It will make it easier for me to heal and find someone else.

    I'm going through this. I've been seeing him for a month, and there was a strong chemistry and connection right away. We went on dates and had good times. He suddenly started to pull away and wasn't showing any enthusiasm for hanging out, but he still communicated daily. The communication is a little different than it was. No emojis, no kissy faces, winks, etc. At first, I panicked and wanted to reach out calmly and communicate how I noticed he's pulled away and ask why that was? If he's losing interest or going through something. I put a stop to that throught and started looking online on advice and videos. Now I'm feeling good, actually, and I've decided not to reach out to him and let him be, and if he keeps messaging me, I'll respond. I've decided to give it a month, and if he keeps reaching out but still the same attitude and not initiate or showing enthusiasm for meeting, then I'll bring it up. I'm patient, but I'm not going to be strung along for months for nothing. Who knows, maybe in this month I might find out I don't even want to continue with him or I'll get over him. Who knows.🤔

    In the past, two major relationships i had that didn't have a "happy end", really took a heavy toll on me. But i recently lost my beloved dad, my very favourite person, and i have to learn to live with that. The pain of such a loss doesn't compare to anything . From now on i see relationships in a completely different light. Anyone that happens to exit my life from now on (be it a partner, friend or whomever) will cost me much, much less, if anything at all, compared to the loss of my father., So, they're free to go. I'll even hold the door open for them so as to make sure it shuts well after they leave. I really have no (more) patience for individuals that don't know what they want, fail to see my value or are into games and wasting my time.

All I know is this is the way relationships are supposed to be.

    Excellent advice. I get so many messages how to make him chase you, addicted to you, fear losing you...etc. I'm not going to do it regardless who's sending me these messages. I stated what I needed and that's that. If he can't pick up the phone and talk, I'm not playing anymore games. Evidently, I was wrong so I've been blessed with the gift of goodbye. Thank you for this advice. 😊😊😊

    Some excellent advice here! I like this guy. Spot on with the man I've been dating, who recently did more than just a pullback this time. He's pulled away numerous times. This last time was far worse than the other times. I'm pleased that I handled it almost exactly like Brian Nox said to. I didn't contact him at...all. Then when he contacted me out of the blue, I replied with a short but polite response that he needs to stay away from me, now. I listed the things he'd recently done, and said I've wasted enough time with him and "no more." I meant it, too. It breaks my heart. But I can't continue seeing someone who treats me that way. He was only contacting me to see if I was still on the hook. No, I'm not.

    Seems like the onus is on the woman to be the "strong" one in the relationship. Humans (regardless of their sex/gender) are by their very existence weak. If she's being the "strong" one in order to get back a dithery, undecided, scared-to-commit man, then is he really worthy of her love (or even time) in the first place? None of all this is rocket science really. Just my opinion.

    Am going through something similar and I have to say this advice is countertuitive because it is in my nature to want to reach out and ask what went wrong or how we can get back on track again. But I have decided to fave my own fears of abandonment and rejection instead. I reached out once to find out how he was and he seemed distant and closed off and so I decided to.let it go and move on with my life. There is just a sense of peace that comes over me when I realise that I have no control over someone's actions and emotions, the only thing I can control I my own feelings and actions. This is a choice I have to make for myself too not just him. Thank you for the advice Brian, it just gives me clarity.

      I think sometimes we expect people to be perfect and just be able to communicate directly. But people are different and one thing am learning is that when someone pulls away it hurts because we feel abandoned and rejected but Brian is right, this is an opportunity not to focus on them but to look within and deal without own fears. Let them go figure out what it is they want when nd if they come back then that is the perfect time to have a conversation about why they dropped off the radar without coming across needy or angry. It is at this point you can ask for clarity and it also allows you the chance to decide if you want to carry on dating them or not and who knows whilst they are busy ignoring you, you could actually meet o the men that can replace the ghoster. Sometimes we just have to be willing to let go of people and situations that are not serving us.

    Hi... Brian. Thanks for such lovely videos. I recently, gave myself closure by simply apologising to a guy i was involved with who suddenly chose to be distant with me or decided to bread crumb me. After, trying to work things out and i realized what he was doing. I told, him i am sorry if i offended him in anyway. And i wished, him the best things life has got to offer. And i haven't reached out to him since then. I think, men needs to start learning how to treat women respectfully. It is wrong to ignore, gaslight, or ghost, a person without telling them what they did to deserve such mean and harsh treatment. We need, videos that will tell men how to treat women and what women really like.

      @@danap4840 I was for almost 4 years in a long distance relationship with a narcissist, he was cheating and lying, taking advantage of me and I understand that it's hard to let go. Loving someone who doesn't love you back is definitely very hard on us, hard for our mental health and affects all aspects in our life. When things ended with him, I didn't want live anymore, I was in a dark place, didn't understand why this always happens to me. However about 18 months have passed since the break up. The break up now feels like a blessing. I don't worry anymore about being cheated on. I don't worry about being taken advantage off anymore. I see the qualities in myself that I put into a relationship with a man that absolutely wasn't worth fighting for.
      It takes time to let go of a person, but once you overcome it, you will wish you let go much earlier. A guy that doesn't value you, that doesn't appreciate being with you and that doesn't make plans with you to move forward and doesn't support you, is not worth keeping around. Let him go, free yourself.
      Love yourself and build yourself a life you love on your own. And be open when the right one for you comes. 🙂

    Brian mentioned the power dynamics when reaching out to someone who is pulling away to say that you are moving on. I think it is important to understand why you are doing that. If it is just a manipulation to get his attention back, it is wrong and it won't last or be a healthy relationship. But in my opinion "giving the power away" is reasonable to draw a boundary, say that this kind of behaviour is not ok for you. At this point I would not expect anything from the guy. I am sticking to my boundary and it actually makes me feel better because I know that he isn't up to my standards. And consistency is is the bare minimum. I wouldn't mind looking a bit more vulnerable and less powerful in this situation. My boundaries will show my power if he tries to actually test it.

      Nowadays they have to many options and they just can't pick one woman and focus on that. My last couple of dates have been like this. I go on awesome dates the chemistry is there but the men never want to convert those dates into commited relationships they want the benefit of having someone to talk to, stroke their egos, give them sex, but keep things casual. It's tiresome, you can be the greatest catch but they just want to be able to come and go as they please. So far the best advice I have received is put into any relationship as the other person is putting. If they text, call and make plans to see me regularly then I will reciprocate. If they act shady and they appear to be putting little to no effort then I reflect that behaviour too. I dont bother asking why they are not texting i just keep things moving. It has made life less complicated.
