Yup. If you have to ask at all, then the answer is: nothing. You're nothing to him. I learned the hard way that if a man wants you in his life, you'll never have to question what your place is in his. Please listen ladies and save yourself the headache and heartache!❤️🙏🏿

"you'll never have to question what your place is in his life". Life and relationships don't even work like that. You can never be certain of anything.
I love your commentary. As a black woman who found herself in this scenario in the past, it is so refreshing to hear a man tell the sisters THE TRUTH!!!
I agree fully my man made us official after 1 month of dating. When a man wants you he won’t leave you in limbo, when a man is ready to settle down he will.
When you have to ask, you already know.
I really enjoyed this video. He is not lying. A man will string you along if you let him. Walk away from that man that won't commit and you will find one that will. Wasted time is worse than wasted money.

It’s okay to be single until is not. Please don’t reinforce that “Yass queen” mentality. Being single is okay for a while, until you get older and start looking around and see that you need a partner to complement your existence.

@@lob1248 A partner to complement your existence? This here is why many people end up how they end up. Our purpose is greater than finding someone to complement us. Not everyone's work under God involves a partner. Yes we would love to have someone but sometimes our peace of mind and sanity does not require that
To be totally honest I believe both sides need to stop focusing on relationships all together until they get the necessary healing and Godly understanding in that area. The problem is I don't believe most of them will or is willing to do the necessary work it takes. Then you have those in denial and you can't help someone who don't believe they have a problem. The black community has so much potential to be great but may never be and most of us need to do the work in order to accomplish that. You can only save who really want to be saved, the rest will fall to the way side and you can only stand back and watch.

Ah, man. Super sad situation. But that is why you should not buy anything major together until you get married. Shoot, it can be something small and people still go crazy. You have people suing exes over a $300 TV 🤣
It’s important for you to tell us the truth , so we can act accordingly
Very true. In all my experiences, men will let it be known (usually within the first month or two) if he wants to be exclusive. The ones that make you feel confused and have not actually told you what his intentions are, are the ones hoping you won’t mention it and “go with the flow”…by flowing right into their bed. Lock your kitty up and don’t assume he wants a committed relationship.
You are helping alot of people with your words of wisdom, keep up the great work.❤❤❤
You speak TRUTH! Please continue on your path! God bless you and your family!
Nope. Ask them. If women are nothing to a guy shouldn’t a woman know that? Sounds to me like a question guys don’t want to be asked bcuz they can’t answer it without negativity. So, they rather a woman assume than know for sure. That way, they can get theirs and let her figure it out herself. Ladies, don’t make it easy for guys to touch you or get any personal help from you.

He’s right, it doesn’t take 5 years to know if you want to be with someone or not.
I think matching energy and not pouring into someone else's cup more than yours will be a good way for most women to protect themselves from the bs. Self love and self worth is the one!!

I agree. Ask without pressure or expectations. Where do you see this going? I see you as this, how do you see me? Etc. That gives you info, empowerment etc. I've known too many friends and family that didn't ask and that was used to string them along and play games cause the behavior was suggesting committed but the guys didn't say it so it gave them an easy out or long waste of time. Ask and commumicate then gauge what your move is after. I would say 3 -6 months depending on the person and situation I a good time to have the conversation.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of Women that have “Place Holders”
Totally accurate, my boyfriend made me his girlfriend the second date and started talking bout marrige from the 3rd date.
I believe it's all about booty calls more than relationships just to smash.
Best way to have a good relationship is just to have it. If things in the relationship are progressing and everything is going smoothly I’d advise women not to pressure a man into marrying them especially if he isn’t ready. I know videos like this and what’s perpetuated on social media is that if a man isn’t ready to commit it’s because he’s playing games but a lot of times some guys just aren’t ready. Most men are not ready for marriage especially if he isn’t comfortable in his financial situation, career, where he is at in his life etc. If a woman decides to move on as a result of that I think that’s fine but you could be missing out on a good man simply because you want the title. Any man that is eager to get married when he doesn’t have his life together isn’t going to make a good husband anyway so I think it’s best to have some patience especially again if the relationship is going good.
@lelo46

I get your point but if a man feels this way, I think it’s extremely important to stress this, before the relationship begins. To live in “what if” provides no “stability” or “security” what’s so ever. You wouldn’t keep putting all of your money in a bank that you weren’t sure if they’d let you withdrawal or let alone, use the funds. Right? I think it’s the same concept. It’s important that if you’re out here dating, without an intention to marry (at least not until you’re ready -whatever that looks like for you) that you EXPRESS THAT. If I’m looking for marriage, and you’re just trying to “see where things go” we are now unaligned. That will inevitably cause friction, insecurity, and confusion. This is why these videos exist. If you are “not ready” it’s important to only date other women who “aren’t ready” or aren’t intentionally dating for commitment (more than a title). That way you both are aligned and don’t mind (seeing where things are going). But to intentionally date a woman who’s expressed that she desires marriage, but you KNOW you don’t want it or aren’t ready for it… at least in a reasonable time (every woman is different) then you’re doing it wrong.

It all depends on whether the female wants marriage and family ... if she doesnt then cool
What if he's the one that asks?
I have a friend who has been with her now fiancé for over 20 years. When they first got together neither wanted to get married and they had kids from previous marriages/relationships. She was pressuring him to get married before her father died but that didn’t happen. Now they have a house together and actually got engaged a few years ago after her father had already passed. They were supposed to get married this year at a destination wedding but I doubt it will happen because I haven’t heard of any planning. I feel like why bother at this point.

You ask when you invested a lot, and he invested nothing, you're chasing. When you're laid back, you don't want to rush, you just go on dates, they ask you to be their gfs after 2 dates. Stop giving up the cookie.
30 yrs with my man, we have a beautiful grown daughter, our own home, and most important (GREAT COMUNICATION). I believe 100% we are still together because we are not married. 😂 In saying that if marriage was important to either of us we would do it for eachother. But thankfully we are like minded. So many friends and family said that we wouldn't last 3 months together and they are the very same people that were married and now DIVORCED. I don't need a ring and a piece of paper. A ring changes nothing. Actions speak louder than words.
