Growing up, my mom often told my siblings and me to go away when we exhausted her. She would tell us to find something to do to entertain ourself, or to stop talking for a while. I found it a little rude at times but also funny. And most importantly I learn that even people who love you very much need a break from your face, your voice, your negativity, your problems, ect. Because my mother's love was evident, I never took it personal. Nowadays, if a guy doesn't text me constantly, I'm totally cool with that. I don't feel the need to base my worth on the amount of attention I get.
Beautifully put 😊
My mummy does the same. And, I used to take it personally.
Girrrlllll
Love this!
"Remember the time you spent together or apart, should make you want to spend more time together"; very good advice.
yes it is a very good indicator
Your ideas are so practical and clear. More women need to have that kind of voice in their head. I'm so glad you put your male voice out there for women to hear and understand.
I can't believe how literally everything he says is just so on the surface, but somehow you just don't really think about it until he says it . . . surely a reality check. I love how he's so right and articulate about everything. Thank you Matt!
Meeting this guy for 2 weeks now, we instantly fell for each other the day we had our first date. The week after the first date we got in some kind of rush, because we both had that deep feeling from day one. But we openly communicated about everything and then slowed down quite a bit and maybe saved something that was almost going to be ruined before it's even started. We text and spoke about it and in that conversation I felt we bonded even more, because we opened up our thoughts, our fears and feelings. Knowing that the other one understands and feels the same added an incredibly precious moment in our very early state of before actually getting into a relationship.
Matthew, thanks for every video you take your time to make for us, youre advice is pure gold and cannot tell you how much you helped me out in the last 3 weeks❤
Have a lovely week everybody ❤
Anna Jff I hope all is well!
Anna Jff update??!
update?
@@TheMisslili8 Dears, its been 4 years and what can I say - He is my soulmate, love each other everyday more - its wonderful and I enjoy every second ❤🙏 so thankful
Btw: we moved together after 4 weeks and it was his Suggestion to bring the cat over the holidays and we just stayed- best decision ever
@@Me-vn3gz He is my soulmate 🥰🙏❤
when someone keeps repeating "I like you" without even knowing you, that is a big red flag
The guy I’m talking to said “I love you” within a week of talking. Gotta run 🏃♂️
this guy told me hi misses me after 1 week, i freaked out like hell, told him to slow down but
This guy said he missed me and he liked me so much and I barely knew him… I RAN SO FAST 💨
omg why do you always speak so much TRUTH.
I absolutely love this video, however, it's a bit sad that the woman has to make up for the man's poor communication skills. It almost sounds as if the woman had to take responsibility for the man's needs, or for him not communicating his needs early enough.
If she acted the same as him, the relationship would end.
As a man, who enjoys a lot of Matt’s videos, I would say it all comes down to communication. Communicate your needs and wants and try to listen to theirs. I know for me, as a man, it’s been very difficult to find a woman who is in touch with their feelings and wants and don’t even mention someone that can communicate (on real, deep relationship “issues”. Not superficial world events, philosophy). Yet, I have faith and will continue to be open to new relationships.
Going through the same. I am giving him more space than he actually needs. Thank you so much Matthew!
I really like that guideline of let everything you do make you want to spend more time with the person you're dating.
Sometimes it can be really difficult to find the balance without looking like you're playing games.
really helpful thanks Matthew!

Even with Matthew giving free advise online, I'm still purchasing his book and videos... It is good to have everything organized... As far as I'm concerned, I'm using this advise to change my ways for the better. Cheers Ladies... and Best Wishes to everyone in finding, creating and keeping a loving and meaningful life.
ive been with this guy for almost a week now and hes asking me what i want to name our kids sos
+hannahleigh
Hilarious!!!
hahaha tats rare
+hannasistare lol the question is do you want kids?
Kitty Life well we broke up a few months ago anyways, also im 16 lol so i was like uhhh
hannahsistare oh well that's good because if you 16 your way to young for kids
I LOVE MATTHEW!!! He ALWAYS has the best advice! Me and my guy friend just had this conversation today! And we’ve been taking things at a steady pace without rushing and not having sex! I will say by doing this I feel like we have a deeper connection than I’ve ever had in my previous relationships!
I’m sure you hear this a lot but your wisdom, your insight, and your common sense approach to the intricacies of relationships between men and women is phenomenal and i wish you had been around when I was in my 20’s! But as I am STILL single at 56 and not yet dead i guess it’s good i found you now. I will soak up all you have to teach and be a better woman for it. 😘
omfg that is soo true ! OMFG.. when it gets to needy and intense, it feels possessive and claustrophobic
I wish I would have seen this video 2 weeks ago. But is a good thing to keep in mind for the next relationship.
You just described my never ending story and I'm so happy to hear that I'm not the only one. Thanks for the advice!
ttjnaaa you are not the only one. I put the brakes on. Too many guys rushing and then freak out
OMG Matt lol, I wish I could call you when ever I had an issue! You always know just what to say and it makes all the sense in the world. I appreciate your advice to the fullest.
Ms. Malika
U
Ms. Malika me too
I had a conversation like that with the guy I am seeing right now (going very well!) and we both agreed that time apart is a good thing - you're right it's all the hormones racing...
Thank you so much man, I needed someone to tell me this so badly. Am currently in the process of starting to freak out but you helped me look at things more rationally😌
love watching your videos Matthew (and Jamieson...) you (two) truly are a blast to follow and offer soooooo many great thoughts and perspectives on this cray cray new world order of dating and relationships! thank you :)
Thank you Matthew Hussey from the bottom of my heart.
Oh thanks God I found you on UA-cam.. Your videos always help me to get an answer. I didn't have many experience about guy things before. But every time I questioning my self or my bf, your videos has the answer. You really help my relationship with a guy. Thank you Matt.. Thank you so much. God bless you
Watching n listening to you always bring me joy n peace
I think this video is awesome!! I wish I heard it before last week. Good thing I have smart friends who advised me the same advice!! Thanks Matt!!
you’re amazing! thank you for such grounding and practical advice once again! x
Best advice so far..... Love you Matthew from India! You are doing wonders for all of us girl! Sometime we just don't know why the guys is pulled away. Now we know. LOVE YOU SOO MUCH
Thanks so much for these insightful videos. they are full of absolute gems! So helpful!
OMG, I went down the wrong path!! :( He went on vacation and started to pull away from me, texts became not as nice and sweet, and short, and I panicked and freaked out, I could feel that he is with someone else there. I called him out on wtf is going on and he said that I am too intense, so I told him that he is too passive and asked if he is willing to do something for us to be together because I cannot fight on my own. He didn't show any initiative and that made me feel sad and disappointed :( Now it has gotten to the stage where I have erased him on my FB and I haven't contacted him for about a month and there is no way I am going to contact him, even though I love him.. I am just done humiliating myself for someone who doesn't even care, I love myself too much for becoming a doormat in someone's life. However, I wish I'd handle this situation differently... So please listen to Matt's advice and learn from my mistakes folks! :)
More power to you! It's not your fault that this man couldn't communicate what was wrong.
You could try having a conversation about it. Like, "ok, what is it that you're finding intense?" And work together. It might be something that's easily solved, like agreeing on communication frequency or style.
It took my boyfriend 3 years to do this to me. I wish I would have known. He was the one talking about marriage and kids. Now I'm the one left in the dust ? 😳
Outstanding advise that is consistent with what other Love Guru's are saying. In many ways understanding our human nature is a skill. Matthew seems to be encouraging understanding as well as a two way street for satisfaction. Bravo Matthew Hussey!!!
Great video! A little too late for me though. Did the crazy and now he's not responsive. Lesson learned for sure.
Me too 😿 but as he says it’s hard to ruin the right thing...
I met an amazing man who has been challenging my 'patience' in this area really ten fold. When I would in the past freaked out, or written him off as uninterested; I just chilled out. We don't spend scads of time together because of work and school commitments; but those are loosening soon so we will have more time to spend. I want to see him more, but it's finding the time that isn't just an hour here or there.
Omg this helped me out so much right now thank you so so much and guys wish me luck with this boy i am seeing right now cuz since i know you matthew i automatically use your advice without actively thinking of it. you made my life better, i inhale your videos and now everything by heart already. Thank you god bless you 🙏🏽❤️
You're a genius. Everything makes so much sense when you explain it.
Thank you :)
YOU NEED SOMEONE LIKE YOU THAT IS AN OLDER VERSION FOR US SENIOR CITIZENS.
Della Knocke I agree I am 71 years old and I have men in their late fifties early sixties after me but some of them seem to only want a booty call I want to find love again how do you do that??
Wow,brilliant! I learned something new today from you! Thanks
Been there... If only I was aware of this beforehand! 😣😣 Should've taken things slow, had I watched this early.
When it's that hard to attract someone, it's not meant to be. You should not have to play any games. People should not have to take notes and watch videos to get someone to like them or be attracted to them, stop worrying about it and move on. Maybe it's not the right time or the right person. If you are a good person, the right person may come along at some point. If it does, wonderful. If it doesn't, find another interest besides worrying to death about having someone in your life that you had to play games with just to have a companion.
+Malesa King He's not advocating playing games with the other person. This is not a game, it's taking it slow. There's a big difference between doing this and playing a game.
you shouldn't play games but you surely should play the game, and that requires abiding by some essential truths about human psychology
If it's meant to be yes, it will work out. It will be easy with that person. But there's nothing wrong with advice if someone is bad at dating. Advice helps us through advice, and we can all learn/use helpful and wise tips in the scary world of dating. It's tough doing it by ourselves, women trying to understand how men are. Guys and girls can be tricky, can test each other, can move too fast, etc. No relationship is perfect.
Malesa King From my experience you're so right. When it's the right time and the right person everything just falls into place and runs smoothly.
Misty Delahay I wish I could believe that
Wow, you’re good! Thank you for your advice Matthew
Incredible insight , I've just met a guy , but we both are becoming obsessed with each other but we don't want too rush into it we both have come out of relationships, and we both feel it's going so.. fast but we Wana slow it down
This guy is brilliant! Great advice! Thanks a lot.
Wow I love this, wish I was aware of you a looooong time ago Matthew its been my big mistake always, you rock
My guy freaked out after 2 months... He says he needs to be alone to sort out his life. I invested a lot of feelings in the relationship and he also seemed in love, he introduced me to his best friend and brother... I don't understand why he backed off now but I'm really hurt and disappointed.
Yeeees first comment!
I love you Matthew! You're my hero! I always watch your videos!
Matt, this is EXACTLY what happened with me. He had initiated divorce with his wife but they hadn’t started the process yet, but their decision about divorce was mutual. I was divorced. My divorce was because I was not happy with my marriage and his because his was also very damaged and because he had fallen in love with me.
So we were also in a long distance relationship for 2 months and have known each other for 6, and suddenly he did exactly what you talked about in this video and freaked out. I then wrote that I was worried and that I could understand if he needs space etc and that I would just like him to communicate with me about it.
He texted me 2 weeks later and broke up and said that he couldn’t handle a long distance relationship with me plus family, work and himself. Plus he said he did not want to waste my time with him when he is not in it with whole heart and mind, and he said I deserved better. I replied a day later saying it was confusing and I didn’t really understand what happened and asked for a FaceTime to talk about what had happened. I didn’t ask for a second chance or anything like that.
I don’t see our relationship as a rebound after listening to your videos about that, but as a real relationship that just moved too quickly, plus he had some stuff he had to work on - more than I realized.
Now I am trying to figure out if he will ever be in a place where I will be happy with him, or whether this breakup was a blessing in disguise. The long distance could have ended in a year where I could move to his city if I liked - have to stay now because of studies.
I can’t really call you because I’m not in your country, but I would really like to hear your point of view.
Work on myself and focus on myself AND let go of him or just the first, and if he comes back, he comes back?
And what do I need to figure out and ask him if he wants me back?
Hey Matthew thank you so much!!! I was looping doe this ander all a long!
You are such a bright man. Really enjoy your videos. I have the opposite problem. Men want me more than I want them. This has made me more vulnerable to my ex who is a runner but who has continued to hang on to me and me to him for many years. I need to be more interested in other men but I seem to be stuck emotionally, despite not physically being with anyone. Advice?
Love you Matthew your awesome changing lives!!
my situation is kinda crazy . we moved in together really quickly and now I feel like we are losing eachother . how do I regroup
I really needed that, thank you so much :)
Now. Where has this video been a few years ago? I kind of wish I've seen it earlier... But, nevertheless, thank you, Matthew, it's very clever, helpful, and makes perfect sense. I'll just remember it and keep it in mind... For the future. Greetings! :)
Thank you. Your videos are helping me a great deal
Matt I love your videos. Keep it up!
This was great! I have a new boyfriend and I feel like we are rushing. This morning he says he can't see me tonight because he has to focus on a job he has to finish. He blew that off to spend the night with me last night. So I totally get it. We have been spending more and more time together and I am starting to feel a little nervous and I wasn't sure how to bring it up. Just a little "I need space talk." Perfect, Matthew. Thank you so much.
you spend more and more time together and are getting nervous ? how about just letting him have his frikkin space ? and don't bring anything up, pls. lve !
I didn't like the tone of your comment. There is no need to be rude to strangers when you are posting comments. If you can't be pleasant, please be quiet.
wonderfully presented. as always :)
So what does it mean when you've been seeing each other for a (short) while and then you both have holiday plans and don't see each other but still message each other. And when you suggest you wanna meet up again he comes up with a lot of excuses (plans) to not see you and then all of a sudden saying that it's been too long and it's not worth the while to get to know each other anymore even though in his messages he has said he can't wait to see you. Have I done something wrong, did he lose his interest or meet someone else? I still don't understand how men think sometimes! :/
This is FANTASTIC!
Ok I now understand that what I have is a huge problem. Bc everything he sad I don’t agree lol. Great speak!
You're a dam genius. You predicted my situation exactly
He is, right??!!!
wow wouldve never thought of this... thank you for this
Genius exactly what I needed to hear
THIS IS SO ME right now. dating this guy, been dating him for 3 months.. and i feel like i want to see him all the time, but he said that he wants us to take it slow, because he's been burned before.. this is soooo helpful, thank you matthew!!
How do you do this without making him think you're rejecting his advances, which btw, could be extremely seductive? Hard to control when you're caught up in romance you both feel. I'd rather not slow it down but my head says, too fast and I listen.
Your advices make life so much easier. ;)
Well I wished I saw this video sooner! Sadly it has crashed and burned. Sobs.
leoana SAME. And the very same guy who acted so crazy about me and initiated texts with me every single day - HE suddenly felt overwhelmed... and we were seeing each other once or twice a week for a month and not even sleeping together yet. I was incredibly attracted to him, like I hadn't been to anyone in a very long time. FML
The same has just happened to me. He totally was into me, spending 3-4 times a week together and couldn’t get enough of me and eachother. Texting throughout the day. Saying he missed me when I had just seen him. Wanting to FaceTime and talk when we couldn’t physically be near eachother etc.
And then all of a sudden his behavior changed. Texted less - he had less time to spend and wasn’t making any efforts in anyway to work on that. He wanted to spend less time and bc he had family in town and other obligations he made no time. It triggered me to panic, feel hurt, and become insecure in the relationship. Which triggered doubts on my part and asking him and feeling uneasy. And him just pretending everything was okay. And it caused us to break up this past Sunday with him
Blaming me and my insecurities only.
I think you just saved my dating relationship life! Thank you!
I got the guy!
ok don't go taking your foot off the paddle, The car will stall. anyone with driving knowledge will know this, but yes to slow things down put a little brake on and don't accelerate too hard. ;)
And Hiii Matt, I love your hair the quiff looks too perfect :) and this video was perfectly timed for me. thanks for that. :) stay blessed. x
Matthew, I totally get that. However I tend to be more of in the "guy" position in this situation. I'm the one who tries to slow things down but likes the guy a lot, and then ends up in the freakout and back off when the guy tries to keep rushing it. Space sounds beautiful to me but so does spending more time with him. I think I'm just trying to approach relationships in a healthy way and when a guy starts rushing things it looks like a red flag to me.
incredible recommendations Matthew*!!!!!! 😊
Thank you.. i was hyperventilating until i listened to this... i know what to do now... x
Thank you! Matthew you are so good :)
What to do if everything great then he suddenly explains he's been acting distant due to things moving too fast (txt normal but not meeting up). I thought about what he said, and agreed. I am now giving him/the early relationship room go breathe, but now things feel awkward and we don't talk to much.
What about the opposite, when you keep distance to get to know him, then it never gets off the ground because he finds a lot of women easier and throwing themselves at him? This happens a lot for some reason. Maybe just where I live?
Jane S usually because these are immature guys who weren't ready to take you seriously in the first place. absence should make the heart grow fonder. these men don't care about fondness, they care about booty.
then he isnt worthy of your attention
when it is too slow, it could backfire as well.
Oooohhh my god!!! But how to give each other space when you live together? We go out with friends but what about when you want miss each other? Stay in a hotel a weekend? I'm just living this situation and I'm freaking out. Hahaha.
Thanks!
does this also apply if she's dating a coworker? obviously they work together and already have a bond. i was with her for 9 years, and she left because we had issues. she jump onto another relationship within a month and even moved in with him 150 miles away from her home. Leaving myself, her friends and family behind. And she came from a large city to a small town. I'm wondering if she'll come to her senses and return home after the romance stage fades. I guessing shes going to feel very disconnected and lonely being that far away, and will miss what she left behind.
I have never been in a relationship prior to the one I'm in right now. This is my first boyfriend.
We had been speaking for more than a year and are now dating for 3months. Because we had been speaking for so long, I don't feel like we have only been dating dating for 3 months.
We said I love you (probably too soon in a 3 month relationship) and now we have kind of started getting frisky and touchy but is this too soon in the relationship.
We are both in our early adult life, and both are virgins (we both have no idea what to do when we start touching eachother) I just need to know if this is too soon.
We also don't see eachother often, and when we were speaking for the year, it was just as friends and we literally never saw eachother (which was good, since covid and whatnot) until the end of 2020.
He is like my best friend and we just clicked from the first day we spoke. But is getting frisky and wanting to have s*x with him too soon?
hattew what happens if your bestfriend sayes he's crazy about about me what should I say to him ?
Hey Matthew. I'm close to the crash and burn face, but I'm the one freaking out and he's the one who wants to get married.... So scarry!! Just to say, it can be the other way around ;)
This is exactly what just happened to me except that the guy insisted we take things slow. He wanted our relationship to be sustainable. And there I blew steam off at him thinking he didn't have time for me. He conscientiously tried to see me less to give me space.
It is hard bcuz everyone told me to just forget him and that if he really wanted to be with me he would have so I have been doin my best to get over him but it is heartbreaking bcuz I really think me and him are great together.. I always had fun when I was with him and he made me laugh so much I just feel like I messed it all up
Love you!!! Great advise!!!
u r amazing matthew!!!!
Thank you, Matt!
Well I just got dumped by this 1 month not alot communication bcz he works 6pm & to 3am and Gym after that . Sleeps all morning until he gets up God knows what time but he doesn't text so much and only went on dates on Sunday. And today he wants to step back and hasn't feel anything between us . So yeah.
Is it moving too fast if we meet like twice a week in the first few weeks
how much time is too much time without seeing each other, though?
I felt chemistry with this guy, we dated once, we kissed i liked it, but he declared as relationship, but i feel like its too much for me. I said him i need more time and lets make it slower, but what bothers me i do not understand if he gets that i am not feeling we are in a relationship level yet. or am i making myself to open to him?
Me and this guy I really like slept together after almost a yr of knowing each other and about 6 months after our first hangout and then he blew me off with no explanation and said he would tell me when he was ready and then things kinda went downhill from there.. I got mad and was being a B to him then our work found out we slept together and that made him hate me even more I think bcuz then he was like just give it time.. this month marks 4 months since we did the deed and we are not talking
Can this be for also a relationship that's been 15 months in? Is it going to fast if I want to live with him already? And I can't wait for him to propose lol 😬🤐
Mathew, I've NEVER gotten to the Romantic stage with anybody that I've had a relationship with. It seems like I stopped at the "this is nice/okay" phase. I don't know what's wrong with me. Should I have never gotten into a relationship with them? I feel like the answer is yes. Lol! What's the deal?
The way he explains this I guess I'm the guy in the relationship
Ok I am torn. I’ve been talking to this guy for a week now and he’s already using pet names (sweetheart) I hate pet names and it’s freaking me out. He also is already doing good morning texts. But the text literally only says good morning so idk if I’m overthinking this. I’m terrified of getting into a relationship. I’ve dated but it’s just been dating. No serious relationship and I think this relationship could be a serious one. I find myself getting very distant. Not responding to texts sooner. And my problem is I push everyone away. This probably makes no sense but I’m kind of just putting everything I’m feeling down.
Love what u say and very true! 👌
I just went through a break up today. I truly believe if I had this information before meeting him, we would have still been dating...or not. I just see all the mistakes I made with this one now. I'll play it right the next time! Thank you.
Deanne DeBerry did you try to win your ex back?
Same here. Just went through a break up Sunday for this exact reason.
All of this is easy said than done.
I met this guy at work about 2 months ago, we barely talked to each other at first but since we started our training together, i've seen him everyday for the past two weeks so we talk a lot everyday now and we've gotten to know each other, just like friends. Last week we were talking as usual and kind of playing a little bit, when I distracted he did this gesture where he touched my hair in a really gentle way, I don't know why he did that but I felt like blushing a lot and felt this weird pressure in my chest I'd never felt before around him. I think we've never been attracted to each other, but lately I've noticed he looks at me in a different way and he even asked if I've ever known somebody whom I wanted to spend my life with but that person didn't loved you back. I kind of freaked out when he asked that so I answer in the most random way. He is a good guy, funny, kind. I think I'm scared to fall in love, so I try to shut down those feelings. but still he got me thinking for the last couple of days lol. I don't want to move too fast and I don't think he's in love either, but I just don't know how to feel
yehetololol loo
yehetololol lool
matthew, you`re the best :)
Very well articulated Matthew. I just kept thinking...where is the adult guy who can actually communicate that back. Is he the elusive unicorn that doesn't exist..?.
Because as a writer, how you said that is almost exactly how I would have communicated it. It's very frustrating to be an adult alpha female in a Peter pan world these days. #whereareallthegrownups

Well said.
You're awesome. Thank you.
