There was only one girl of many from tinder that helped me with through a tough time by poking my brain a little bit... I was being someone I'm not (not on purpose) and she saw right through me so that's when our conversations turned real. I was disappointed at first because I was looking for a partner not a friend, but later I realized and really appreciated her for sticking around. She was always there when I needed to talk to someone and helped me strive for the better. I know this might be lame coming from a guy but hey... We're all just people in the end.
As someone with a fearful-avoidant attachment style, the doubting stage came earlier on with the trust building coming in afterwards. I’m extremely grateful for the patience, love, and support that my partner has shown me and can’t wait to reach stage 8! 😊
Could you please share when did the doubting stage come? Cause mine came right after 6 months in relationship and I’m actually afraid of how early I faced it

just translated this video to my girlfriend, we are going through the stage 8 😊, it makes me honestly very happy because watching this video made me realize how much we've been through and are still loving each other unconditionally
I would like to point out you missed one point of the dating stages which is the imaginary stage which I am an expert on since I’ve been at this stage all my life
after 13-14 months my ex and i went on the 7th stage, and sadly it didn’t work out the way i wanted, i have some ugly traits that i need to overcome in the near future but suffice to say a lot of external pressures broke our relationship and i’ve been feeling kinda down, this video cleared my head from some insecurities and problems i’ve had recently, thanks!
Still stage #3- I feel bad tbh because I’m having to break my walls that I’ve been constructing them for literal years. I’m really glad he’s helping me being able to become more vulnerable and trusting but good lord it’s one of the most terrifying things ever.
Never passed stage 3 in my life. Attracted to someone and getting to know them thru friends but nervous to ask them out. Then it will jump to stage 7, where I'll begin doubting if I'm good enough for a relationship.
At most ive gotten to the getting to know each other stage,out values didnt seem to match up exactly and she didn't see things working out between us. Im hoping one day thst i can truly be attracted to someone and actually like them, and i hope to find that person who would feel the same about me.
*HA!* I knew you were into fandoms and such, but I didn’t realize you were into webcomics as well! (Caught onto due to ‘My Giant Nerd Boyfriend *Now fiancé’ right at the end)
I had very abusive and toxic first relationships and now I think Ive found the right girl. I want to finally confess to her but scared that everything will be repeated like in the previous one. I am also afraid of her saying "no" but I understand it will be her choice. Though I hope everything will be alright. Have a nice day everyone!
Me and my boyfriend are around 5 or 6, have been together since October. Ive watched your channel for advice and knowledge on things and I think it's helped a lot to improve the way I communucate to him.
I don’t know if it would be considered the doubting stage, but we’re in the process of just starting to make plans, but we also feel a solid commitment. Somewhere between 7-8
Love how in mondern society a lot of this is no longer the case especially when taking into factors like polyamory, being aromantic or asexual, being in a long distance relationship or other things that make the stages of dating not as simplistic as this shows
I'm around stages 1-3: trying to work out what I'm going to do with my date for a dance, and wondering if she understood what I meant when I asked her out, although I thought I was pretty straightforward with how I asked her
I'd really like to know what ages these couples were as well. I can hinestly say for me being older helps as well, and having the same goals off the bat. I'm 31 now but my partner and I met around 2 years ago. We both knew what we wanted and to me all of these stages just flew by. There was no nonsense and I've got to say I'm truly blessed to have met her! Thanks as always phyc to go!
I wish my relationships would actually spread out longer. Had to forcibly go through almost all stages in under a year. Broke up in late February 2024 during the doubting stage. I was appalled at what I threw myself into what felt like a rush. We could have actually been a year this April. Unfortunately every guy I meet: work, school, dating apps, and through friends....They are want to rush through all stages. They believe all these things are mumbo jumbo. They all say that I'll die an old maid if I live in a "fantasy" Maybe the men in my area suck. Maybe it's this dating age. I don't know anymore. I just really wanted a guy who is patient and is willing to enjoy a smooth relaxing ride until we realize we want to be married and start a family. And even though I am 28, I actually am starting to dislike people more which makes me feel like being an old maid isn't so bad afterall.
I'll try to be clear and neutral in my answer: It's the current state of dating market game because practically all female players (at least half of them are also bisexual and pretty crazy) always level up using the bodies of average and below average male players, that's why we always try to cut the losses from our side
4:13 - 4:23 I was shocked when you showed Puuung, Yehuda Devir and his wife Maya Devir, and Fishball and her Giant Nerd Boyfriend (now Husband). I'm surprised you know about them and their webcomics.
Dating to me is just having fun with someone you like, don't need to overcomplicate. Dating apps are an easy way if you don't like anyone you know or have trouble talking to people in person, just don't let the pressure of not getting likes back destroy your mental health. Just have fun meeting new people!!!
Commitment and stability 👍 If we're thinking about this stage as the purpose of meaningful relationship is much easier to understand our progress as a couple.
I have been with my fiance for a little over 8 years now. I proposed about 8 months ago and it felt like the right thing. But only now am I feeling like were im in stage 7 which doesnt feel great. I know its natural to get cold feet going into marriage but stage 7 is hitting me hard! In the video she notes that it should be obvious if your partner is the right fit. Why do i feel like its not obvious at all? Im also turning 30 so maybe this is also a mini crisis im having about the trajectory of my life. Id say i lean towards the avoidant attachment style in relationships as well.
HEY GOOD MORNING MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY I JUST WANTED TO STOP BY TO SEE HOW EVERYONE IS DOING THIS MORNING, I HAVEN'T BEEN I ON A DATE IN LIKE A YEAR NOW, HAVE A BLESSED DAY.🙏💯💙💪🙉🙊🙈
My first love got to the 7th stage within a month, things moved really fast for us. It was a BAD breakup though and very awkward ever since. He married someone else and had children and I didn’t want to have kids. That’s most of the reason why we didn’t work out. That and how fast things went.
well. I was with her for 3 years and we survived to The doubting phase i guess. Then she, as she said, "Magically fell in love with the ""Just a friend"" and can't stand seeing me anymore". Yet still, i hope for the best for them.
I think I’m at stage 3 but honestly we may be more than that but we don’t go on dates because we both believe that it shouldn’t be our priority atm (high school) I share a lot of things with my crush now and we both have a much deeper understanding of each other and connection as well as morals/beliefs alignments. Personally I think it’s more than just a crush and it’s slightly disappointing that we can’t advance just yet. Our relationship is definitely more meaningful than any crush I had before but then again I’m still young and not fully mature so I can’t really analyse
If only that was simple for me, I can’t even move pass stage 3 when it comes to online dating. But I honestly can’t blame them because others would take advantage of these dating sites. But they at least say something instead of ghosting me, because saying nothing is worse than saying something.
Here is my version: Stage 1: Attraction Stage 2: Saying to myself "ah well, he wont be interested in me and he's probably straight anyway" Stage 3: do nothing
On 3 of January i ended a relationship. It was not long one, it was 5 month old. The thing is that the brake up was brutal and out of the blue.She ended the relationship with me because she reconnected with her ex out of nowhere. I feel decieved and devastated. How can i pick up the pieces and try to have a new relationship after that? im 36 years old with nice paying job at aviation industry but my personal life is a mess. i think that i will have trust issues from now on, i have insomnia since then, i wake up at 3 at night, i feel agitated and depressed. Don't know how i will continue

1. eye contact
2. falling in love
3. making spotify playlists about them
4. fake scenarios in your head
5. too scared to talk to them anymore
6. overthinking
7. delusion
8. lose the crush during a depressive episode where you don’t feel anything and repeat with someone new!
ADHD and ASD: instructions unclear, I do none of these things except 6.
You left out the it's just your turn stage and the you find out she's for the streets stage and lying about everything stages like her past. 💊💯😒
That's called Limerance
Yo that honestly feels like my life. Mostly just the depressive episode and get demotivated.
Guess I’m in stage 0.

May 2024 be the year you fimd an amazing relationship!
I'd go on a date
Stage 0 - SINGLE AF
Indeed. U_U
The best stage
im like in stage negative 8 💀
Single from the womb, single to the tomb
@@IDKWHAT2NAMETHISSmore like the absolutely worst stage
I got this in my notifications after I got my first date in over 6 years after I got cheated on. Your timing is impeccable!
Pay attention to your behaviors because I’m pretty sure your first dates with the person that cheated on you were nice. You gotta do something different if you want different results.
the matrix glitched in your favor
@@agathaagatin2017 It's not the fault of the person cheated on that their partner was a cheater. The cheater is exclusively responsible for cheating. Cheating is one of the ultimate forms of betrayal in a relationship. There is NEVER a justification to cheat on a partner, it is NOT okay.
I'm afraid to even go back to dating after getting cheated on. I feel so hopeless.
I’m sorry for your loss 😔

Thank you… I am working on healing and needed to know what a healthy relationship would look like.
Hope this helps you! Thanks for watching ❤
I hadn't looked at it that way, thank you for the perspective suggestion.
I’d really recommend looking into attachment theory if it’s not something you’ve heard about before. It was a game changer for me
As someone with a fearful-avoidant attachment style, the doubting stage came earlier on with the trust building coming in afterwards. I’m extremely grateful for the patience, love, and support that my partner has shown me and can’t wait to reach stage 8! 😊

Cool story, no one cares.
No one is interested
@@alldogsnin33leven okay I guess, if you don't like just move on, no need to spread negativity in a comment section on this specific channel
Thank you UA-cam for reminding me of romance and all my failures.
Speed-ran to stage 7 in a few months; I had to fly out of town for a week and it's been a whole different vibe since I got back.
Where my fellow Single Pringles at?
We gotta keep fighting, we'll get there someday.
Right here lol
I would like to point out you missed one point of the dating stages which is the imaginary stage which I am an expert on since I’ve been at this stage all my life

Me coming out of a situationship:
*cries in corner*
Psy: Which state of dating are you?
Me: Wait. I'm dating?
Lies.
Stage 0: single and by myself
My relationship went through the first 3 phases then skipped to phase 7 and thats where i am after a year
Stage 9, separated.
Me and my boyfriend are around 5 or 6, have been together since October. Ive watched your channel for advice and knowledge on things and I think it's helped a lot to improve the way I communucate to him.
i love these content creator references!! I'd recognize that pikachu tee from My Giant Nerd Boyfriend from anywhere
I am a big fan of your videos. I watch them every day. Please keep making more!
I don’t know if it would be considered the doubting stage, but we’re in the process of just starting to make plans, but we also feel a solid commitment. Somewhere between 7-8
Yea I’m definitely dying alone
You aren't the only one, many of us will die, and live alone indefinitely.
I’m dying with you
Love how in mondern society a lot of this is no longer the case especially when taking into factors like polyamory, being aromantic or asexual, being in a long distance relationship or other things that make the stages of dating not as simplistic as this shows
I'm at the stage where I gave up and have become a drug addict and alcoholic
The fact that I'm receiving this reminds me that I'm single and it's valentines Day soon😅
Well the doubting stage being a couple years in and only getting to the 8th stage after many MANY years is a stressful touch.
I'm around stages 1-3: trying to work out what I'm going to do with my date for a dance, and wondering if she understood what I meant when I asked her out, although I thought I was pretty straightforward with how I asked her
Is there an option for 0 (not even close to being ready to date) because that's where I am
You would be in the single stage. The video in the pinned comment will be better fit for you :P

I think I am on stage 5,6,7 I can't pick which one I think is me I think I am a mix
3- ig… i dont think itll go any further than that cuz hes already dating someone and sees us as close friends
I'm definitely going to do these stages of dating
great video, thank you!!! :D

I'm very glad to see the video of this animator, I always liked him, I watched the video mostly because of him

I've never made it out of the honeymoon phase. To me it comes immediately the second she agrees to go on a date.

Proud to say I'm on stage 3
That's awesome! How are you feeling about your current relationship?
@@Psych2go it feels nice yet opening up and trusting them is holding me back a little bit

Still single and watching stages of dating
We’re around 7-8 since we’ve been dating since December 2022. I wonder how long distance relationships fit into the stages?
That's only 12 months then
I'm on stage -8. I'm winning, right?
Im probably on stage 8 with a bit of 7 since highschool/college transition worries ofc
right now I am at all 4 stages #5, 6, 7 and 8 at the same time ahaha
Well I still single and never dated. I am still healing from abusive relationships.
super loved it ❤❤
I'm at stage “420 + 69i” in my room for now. Yeah it's complex.
Lonely imaginations...
I've been out of the dating game for so long I'm actually scared to date again
Stage 0. That's where I am. 0.
Which one am I?
The one observing the couple fondly from afar... 🤭
Thanks psych2go, this really will help me in the near future 😊👍
Hope this helps for the future! Thanks for your support!
@@Psych2go it will
I am on stage 1 but it's almost a year now
8 stages of dating - in which one are you?
Me: -infinity
No because the couple used in this video are so cute, LIKE look they ended up getting married 😭
Here is my version:
Stage 1: Attraction
Stage 2: Saying to myself "ah well, he wont be interested in me and he's probably straight anyway"
Stage 3: do nothing
This title really just called me single 69 different ways 😢
4:21
Tougher to get through this doubt phase in 2019?? Is that when this audio was recorded?
ugh, six months in, honeymoon seems to be over, and there's quite the amount of stagnating issues.
how do i even get to stage 2 😞
should’ve known when the first stage want rlly there😭
Bold of you to assume I'm actually getting any dates 😮💨 I mean.. I'm trying though.. in my own quirky way.. 🤷♂
Current stage; #-1
What i hate is when people think that we must got the perfect one in just a few tries
8 stages that i never been at
On 3 of January i ended a relationship. It was not long one, it was 5 month old. The thing is that the brake up was brutal and out of the blue.She ended the relationship with me because she reconnected with her ex out of nowhere. I feel decieved and devastated. How can i pick up the pieces and try to have a new relationship after that? im 36 years old with nice paying job at aviation industry but my personal life is a mess. i think that i will have trust issues from now on, i have insomnia since then, i wake up at 3 at night, i feel agitated and depressed. Don't know how i will continue
What if your not able to dating or your sacred to feel like nobody loves you
The audience:👫
The viewer:🧍♂️
Modern dating: attraction - 1 hour. Carnal pleasure - 3 hours. Breaking up 6 hours.
Make a video on the wretchedness of modern dating.
I've never experienced any of this once in my entire life. Im 30 years old. Idk what is wrong with me. I never feel attraction or interest
I'm at the stage where I've realized I'm the red flags in the relationship.
I have realised that Im not a human
such nice animations
I‘m stage 0 because i can‘t seem to find anyone that i find remotely interesting enough.
