    I had a four-year relationship with a guy who told me right off that he had fears about marriage due to his parents divorce. He was faithful to me, but of course, we didn't get married. I got into the relationship knowing about his fears. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

      My (ex) bf told me he never wants to marry again (he has been married before) and can't even see himself living with another person so domestic partnership isn't even an option. I broke it off that day. It hurts a lot but no point of a dead end relationship. I took what he said face value and have no desire to change his mind or whatsoever.

Life is short and always do what makes you happy. Never find happiness from anyone else. Build and make your own happiness because anything could happen tomorrow and tomorrow is definitely not promised. God bless you all beautiful people 🙏❤️

      I was with a guy. I thought we were together. He didn't want anyone to see us, he didn't want to engage me or move in together, but otherwise we were like in relationship. I left him when he started to use emotional abuse on me. 6 months from the last time I ever saw him, he was engaged to a new woman. I realized I had been just "not wife material" to him. I don't expect them to be happy either, once his tendencies to use emotional abuse surface in that relationship as well. But the emotional abuse and treating me like sh*t traumatized me.

    I broke it off with a guy who said he loved me after I realized he just wanted me as some sort of collector toy to keep on his shelf and pull down and play with when he wanted to. When I tried to have us spend one weekend per month together (he lived over 4 hours away), he said no. I get that he was in Medical Residency and had a crazy life but when I found out he had plans with his family, with his friends and colleagues at work etc but wouldn't make them with me, I figured starting out at the bottom of the totem pole of a relationship wasn't a good place to start. Where would I end up? In the dirt probably. If I wasn't important enough to place even near the top of his priorities, then our relationship would never work...regardless of saying "but I love you" when I broke it off. You may love me, but certainly not enough to place me in the right position in your life. God bless~

    one sign that definitely let me know that a guy wasnt serious was the fact that they kept changing their location on hinge.

For hinge, you have to manually change it so it just let me know that I should drop him.

      Mine started w me commenting on his utube videos & after a couple of months he gave me his phone number and email. I emailed him a couple of times and sent links to him & one night called. It was mostly political things. But as i look back, i texted paragraphs & he texted short sentences, sometimes things that didnt make sense as a reponse. He wanted to know if my channel pic is really me & wanted me to change it. I bought a new 12qt pot & made soup but he didnt ask what kind. He wanted me to travel 2 states away to see him but wouldnt come to me. He didnt seem to remember personal things i told him, like how many kids i have &he never asked anything about me, He would be really nice, even affectionate one day & then blow me off the next day & never apologised for not texting sooner. He talked about moving to Texas for the same reason everybody is moving to Texas and told me to look for a ranch close to my son and grandbaby. 2 days ago he sent a pic of 2 crossbows & said "one for me and one for you," sweet huh? 4 hours later he called & said" there is no we, there is no us, long distance relationships dont work and that he hadn't even seen my ass yet. I told him that if our relationship depended on that then just know its as big ss a truck my calves are big as footballs riddled w varicose vein and my thighs were potmarked with cottage cheese and that i only had 1 boob. I cried the first day, kinda in shock, but today i know i got out of a toxic relationship before it went any further. I am a 60 yr old widow and was married to a narcissist so im not going to put up with this behavior.

Why he even started meeting me when clearly he was not emotionally available. Oh..and all the promises how we will do this or that but we never did. He even didn't tell me straight way that he got 5 children. I found out months later...Half-truths, keeping conversations superficial, vague behaviour, not returning my compliments, never mentioning how he felt or not about me, twice he said that he valued my friendship. Plus the regular excuses how busy he was. A month ago I texted him that i was tired of being strung along...never replied back. I tried to call him few times he picked the phone once only and told me he would call me back...never happened. Being chronically late and few times even did not bother to let me know. Then when I expressed my disappointment he said sorry and then he told me that if I was late he would not have made a fuss of it....

    Thank you for speaking slowly and clearly in your videos! And thank you for not shouting or using "tough love" vernacular. I understand the sentiment when coaches employ "real talk" in their content, and I will admit, as a caring, forgiving woman who has been severely wronged by men, it IS sometimes helpful and necessary. SOMETIMES. You are the only "youtube caregiver" in the self-help-dating industry I've seen who expresses the hard truths we need to hear in a carefully nuanced way that helps a woman like me feel empowered instead of idiotic. Some women suffer from abuse/neglect for so long that they question whether they should feel empowered by learning that they've been hurt or ashamed that they've let it happen. I am in the middle and grateful for this gentle guidance especially since it is coming from you, a straight cis man. Straight cis men have been my foil and folly and I now understand my part in these relationships and I'm learning what to do in order to improve. It just makes this awful process so much easier for those of us who have been weakened by requiring their superiors' approval (however that may have manifested in the past) when the content is delivered gently and in a way that suggests the woman is not actually stupid but instead is hurt, is competent and is ready to get involved in the process of accepting, healing and changing (and IS capable and deserving of that change). I long for the day where I don't need approval from anybody except myself, but I'm still getting there. You're helping. THANKS!

He does all of the driving out to me which is awesome because I have an old car, but he is busy alot and I try to be understanding. He has made it to alot of my important events and enjoys them not just for me.
    However there are days that go by without him texting me and weeks that go by without seeing him. He told me in the beginning how busy he gets during this season for work plus his 2 kids and their baseball practices.

He is pushing 50, and it's still whatever his parents want. When we met, he was going through a divorce, he contacted his solicitor because he wanted to keep me...so I waited. Then years pass, and he still didn't want to have anything of us on social media...no normal milestones. I buy and wrap his family's Christmas gifts, then am NOT invited to the party! I thought it was just how they are, then I heard they had a big party for his sister's 40th to meet her guy...then why not me? He was married 15 years, I know he can commit, and he says I am 'his favourite', but when we get close, he pushes me away. He says him having a love life is not a priority...his parents business is. I don't think he is unfaithful, I think he is emotionally immature.

I say all that too say that, if that man wasn't wasting my time he wouldn't have had so much time on his hands to even want to see me that often. So when I would decline he would become agitated, major RED FLAG. It was a major turn off because I too live in Los Angeles, California and we are ALL restricted to our outside regiment so I am now back in Grad School because in order for me to find what I am looking for, I have to become that.

    we went on a hike and he asked about how in felt about kissing during a pandemic. So I took it as “oh hes interested in kissing me...” So I took my mask off , moved close to him , and he flinched at me... That was the worst feeling ive ever felt. I felt like I was a cockroach or vomit.

    I just matched with a guy on an online dating site, and were talking almost everyday for a month (him almost always texting me first). We hadn't met in person because of Covid going around. And even though he was really wanting to meet in person he was very understanding and respectful to wait. He was interested on going on dates and hanging out. Then he kept steering the conversation into sexual topics, like what do I think about this, or do I like this. I didn't want to shut it down completely because I'm not opposed to it but it was way too early for me and we barely knew much about each other. At first he understood but kept steering conversations to sexual things and let him know again; not shutting it down but it was too early for me. He said he was looking for a relationship but with the above happening and him not being fully honest about why he wanted certain pictures hurt me and makes me think he doesn't want a relationship. Then he said because we aren't meeting up soon (because of Covid spiking) that we should probably stop talking. And that kind of took me by surprise....... Any ideas? I could use any kind of help! Haha :)

      Ugh! I hated going through that. If they keep bringing it up after you mention it then they just only care about physical relationships and do not want a commitment . Honestly, guys like this don't respect you at all and are probably very self centered so you won't want a guy like that anyway. If he wanted a relationship with you then he would wait. Possibly found another chick that would meet with him sooner. :( Sorry this happened to you. I always hold on to guys like this for too long...not worth our time. Being physically there with someone may be a guys "love language" but this guy just sounds like he just wants physical.

    Great video, Ryan! This is why I don't jump into bed with someone right away. I have to be able to trust him first. Have you done any videos on dating during quarantine? I don't see any single men when I go out AT ALL.

    Unfortunately, the friends first thing really back-fired on me. He was my best friend in college, but a total commitment-phobe. I was too stupid to realize he wouldn't change.
