I post new love life advice for you every weekend.

When we like someone, it’s tempting to move fast, let our emotions take over and simply do what feels good. But in this frenzy of excitement we can inadvertently end up on a path we don’t want to be on…
In this week’s new video I answer a question from someone who didn’t want to repeat the last 2 years of her life, which she spent in a ‘friends with benefits’ situation.

    Let's be real. They didn't have positive impact on your life. They didn't make you a better person. You just had attachment issues and scared to lose something you once loved. You made them seem more valuable than they actually were. Don't waste anymore time. There's someone better waiting for you❤️🤞🏻

    I met my husband in a disco and had sex with him after a few hours. It wasn't even a date, it was supposed to be a one night stand. I was ready to walk away and never hear from him after a night. I never thought or gave him the feeling that he owes me something for that. And he ended up chasing me. He was the one who made the relationship progress, he was the one who made the research on "how to get the girl". Not the other way around. We've been married for 20 years now. If you are and know that you are a good catch, others will sense that too. Girls, never chase a man. Be an independent and confindent girl, make yourself happy first, and the luck finds you.

    I am proud to say that, although I entered a situation without serious intentions, I ended up catching feelings and wanting more after 3 months of seeing him. I was sad of the more I was progressing in time, the more I was getting crumbs. I expressed the discomfort, he apologized but then things kept going the same way. All on his terms. I realized that it was not serving purpose anymore , and although I still deeply care about this person I told him that it was not meeting my long term vision or even bare minimum requirement of communication to be in my circle. I have been no contact for the past 2 weeks and binge watching Matthew's because although I have been suffering, there is a light at the end of the tunnel whether if I stayed id been wasted potentially many months of my life getting crumbs. Thank you Matt and team 💌

And yes I could change jobs but admittedly in the back of mind I know that would 100% cut the chances of it working...oh but also, he isn't available anyway so there isn't a chance in the first place. WHY do I do this to myself? Nothing but self sacrificing and toxic situations I keep allowing just to get a little bit of affection. It's so twisted and I don't know why I have no self love respect or control over myself. Ugh! And that's just one of my malfunctions. It's very very depressing.

    *Does it serve you? Does it serve the path you want to be on?* These are great questions to ask yourself. But it can be so challenging when we meet someone great and we get overly excited. That's why I think if you're someone who's got a history of situationships, attracting unavailable people, *going slow* is always going to be the best approach. It will help you not to get overly invested into someone you don't know and you'll avoid building all the anxiety around someone you hardly know. Love this. Always an inspiration for my own channel.

I also find it hard to know how slow it should be. I mean in this days u meet someone in a weekend and u feel like you should see that person again in the next weekend, just because there a lot of options at the apps and u start to get afraid that if you don’t see each other, how that person will maintain interest? 😅 dating is hard

    "The game isn't just let me get my short term needs met. The game is let me actually see if I can find a person I can build with" 100% agree. Setting intention is everything. A lot of good can come out of taking things slow with someone, and I know that's sounds a bit old fashioned and corny cliche, but actually having a friendship with someone first, getting to know them at a healthy pace, talking to them, building a connection before intimacy. Just as Matthew said, our clarity can be muddied by sex. In those intense early stages of a relationship when everything is exciting and lovey dovey it can cloud our judgement and make us miss red flags.

    It's funny how these days people link "waiting to have sex until you have a trusting relationship" with being a prude or religious. I remember when it used to be the norm to wait until you're in a relationship. It's kinda naive to ignore the physical and emotional risks that sex holds, especially with someone you don't know well. I understand that some people get a kick out of one night stands and FWB relationships but to Matthew's point, I guess it's important to examine what you're really getting out of it

    Be true to yourself, be true to your feelings and be true to the other one. Don't think of the outcome. The right person will see through your antics and like you. Don't make love a game to win. Don't fear sadness. Sadness on solid ground can't cause much damage, rather it makes you wiser, but happiness on weak scripted grounds might blow off sooner than you expect. Unless you both are shallow then that's a compatibility. It's hard to find a solid partner and it's for your own good, development. We might feel dejected but somewhere we know our standards are too deep or we are different. Yeah, only if you walk the talk.

It just feels as if no matter how hard I try, I can't break myself away from what I know about him so far, and I know that he's admitted to me that we could become friends at some point in time. It just feels like I'm in this weird limbo-ish phase because in my current situation, it just isn't possible since both of our positions at work narrow down the likelihood of it happening. Either I would have to move on and pursue something different, or he would have to leave and not come back for good.

    Agree with this 💯💪 I'm all for being a self respecting prude tbh. Having sex with someone who's not invested or committed does not serve women at all imo. I think often women will go along with casual cos they're afraid the guy will leave if they don't. Most guys probably will leave cos they know there's plenty of options where zero investment will still get high rewards 🙄. This whole dating dynamic serves only men so women need to wise up if they want real, genuine and authentic guys. Also, when are we gonna start holding these guys to account for poor behaviour. It's just not on. There's a pandemic of Peter Pan syndrome (as Patti Stranger would say) if you ask me!

Hey, no loss for me! But they do exist. Matthew, your advice isn't prudish or religious-bent of any of that other nonsense. It's based upon self-respect. At my age, I've dated enough to know that rushing into things kills it because you likely didn't have a solid enough foundation anyway, but you're emotionally and physically involved and that makes it harder to remain in a situationship. Late last year, I finally walked away from my love-bomber, covert narcissistic ex. There were so many red flags I should've acknowledged but didn't because we rushed everything! Man, did I pay for it! The next guy I dated slowed things down as we became crazy about each other because he realized it'd be much wiser to take the time to get to know me. That was game changing. I'm all for not rushing into bed. I just wish I had learned that lesson sooner rather than following our culture's idea that sex is nothing.

    Intention is the lesson for me. I've found most often that I end up becoming a love bomber unintentionally, because I didn't have clear intentions to start with. And if you're someone who isn't used to being in touch with themselves, how can you know what intentions you have? So it really becomes about empowering yourself first or at least making sure you are self aware enough to know what you want and how much value you can offer. That's hard for many of us, which is why we end up in situations where we feel like we compromised ourselves and don't know why.

I never was like, “I met someone and it was organic!” 🙄 You can’t even say the words “date” or “relationship” without someone freaking out. They deliberately keep things confusing so they can make justifications for crappy behavior after they do all the things that feel like heading in the direction of a relationship. Heaven forbid you do anything nice for anyone early on because there a “red flag.” Good grief.

    Upon seeing this video I've realized that I could think of walking different paths with different people. Like, there are guys who are friends and I'd never want to be in a serious relationship with, I'd entertain the idea of a FWB thing with them. But there are guys who I see as potential long term partners and I'd never want to be in a casual kind of relationship with them, because as you said, I want to get to know them and see our compatibility. And if that potential serious relationship does happen, it's then when I'd include that aspect of a relationship with them. Only after things become official.

    I enjoy all of your advice, thank you for doing what you do. I recently got out of a 4 year relationship, and in the beginning I chased him. That was my first mistake, and I tend to do that a lot all because I become attached too quickly and attracted to looks, failing to learn personality and compatibility. The last relationship was a huge learning curve, I compromised everything, lowered all my standards, and didn’t allow myself to be treated what I’m actually worth. I recently went out with a guy friend I used to work with and we both talked about not looking for a relationship, and then we ended up hooking up and I found myself in the same boat, catching feelings and thinking maybe I do want a relationship, and I started acting on those feelings and was thinking uh oh, not again… so here I am trying to educate myself on what not to do, so I don’t repeat the same cycle. You are a savior. Thanks again ❤️

I would like to say this: Figure that out before jumping into a relationship. Look inward, not outward. Focus on personal goals. Get that dream body, get that dream job, get that law schoold degree. When you focus on yourself, when you work hard, you learn a lot about yourself, and then you can see what it is you want in terms of sex, intimacy, companionship, and more

I’m not good at ignoring people, so the ignore block delete advice is not my thing unless someone is harassing me. Thank you.

    Just say upfront that it is not working for you. His response is how he really feels about you. Or you could treat him exactly the same as he does towards you. If he cancels sometimes then cancel at the last minute. If he doesn't call for 10 days, don't pick up his calls, purposely miss his calls then respond the following day saying you were busy, is everything ok? That makes them feel stupid and it shines the light on the fact that he isnt consistent because you are acting a bit surprised that he called. Not only that but it is a bit embarrassing aswell because he has to say what he wants you for and if he isnt clear about his intentions then that forces him to be a bit more open. Dont act too busy actually be busy with things that u love

    It's funny that so many men complain about the shit tests women give them and women complain about being emotionally manipulated and used. What women must realize is that they are the ones with all the power, they have more options than a man will ever have at any given moment and women should cultivate that, always keep your options open. Have male acquaintances and if you value male friendships have those as well. It's very important to have a social circle of men and women. Clubs, groups, meetups, etc. around passions and interests. This is the best way to find a relationship with someone . Some men in this culture will always just be looking for sex because that is what this society teaches them to do, it also teaches women to subvert their power, if a man knew you had options he would be less likely to take you for granted, if he knew you loved yourself and had dignity and integrity he would value you more. A man needs to know you don't need him and can easily end up with someone else.

    Do we know someone after a first date? During a first date? If the answer is no, then why would we get physical? Then, answer that question. And that tells you what you truly want or think you deserve . Dating is a gambling game. I slept with my ex husband on our first “date”. He did go through the ringer with my friends a little and he ended up on a group dinner situation. I wasn’t that into him and he was 10 years younger than me, but he passed the “fun” test and yes, we slept together on our first date. I do blame the alcohol but yeah, it happened. There were red flags when we were dating but like most I excused them away because he was great with me. It just takes time to get to know someone and being truthful with yourself on the red flags that are exposed. Behavior repeats itself. If he did it in one relationship, you better believe he’ll do it in yours. Sleeping with someone isn’t the prize for being a “good boy” we’re not a constellation prize. It’s about bonding on a deep level. Oxytocin is a bonding hormone whether we like it or not. We will look past the things we shouldn’t, so proceed with caution, to all. And I’ve been engaged 5 times. I’m 41 and have observed behavior for a long time. I started following Mr Husey years ago when he first started.

    Why would not you advise someone who loves someone, to actually confess it?? Why, on earth, loving someone can scare off the person who is also interested in them? Why advise to be something else who h you are not from the very start?? Why not do certain things out of fear? If I were a woman that get that confession, I would be happy to start constructing something with this person. If I was not into him already, I would also make it clear. The sooner, the better! Sexual intimacy depends on the way people share themselves. The problem is that girls tend to give up under the pressure of modern life, thinking now it should be right to sleep with someone after the 1st, 2 ND or 6 th date. They can't get one thing is that no one but them can know when it is the best time to give access to the body, because they should get pleasure out of this connection, which is only measured by them! As for natural flow, I don't agree that there are any standards. To me, if a man does not show his emotions early on, I take for granted there are no emotions. One must Never ever hide their emotions. It never serves anyone. let's stop thinking that love can scare off people. If it does at any single moment, it will so any time later!

He hasnt slept with me says "sex complicates things" which I totally do NOT understand. I ended up falling for him and he has said he wants to end things as he cant see me for 5 weeks because of his work and it's unfair on me. So I said I will wait for him. It has been 2 weeks he has not called or messaged only I have and he does not pick up my calls or replies. Then he answered my call and we left the chat halfway through him saying he is busy and me saying j will wait for him. We didnt reach a conclusion, so a week has passed by and I have not heard anything from him. I called him today but he messaged and said hes with his daughter so I said will call him tomorrow.

    I'm no expert... but I think you should let him start the talk... if he really wants the same thing you do, he will initiate it, won't he?

    @@anival9576 This is good advice, and as a woman have a time line, how many more weeks you are willing to wait to have the talk. I see that usually it happens between 1-3rd month, and otherwise for the avoidant men up to 6 months in to have the talk of what are we

    @@juliaskagfjord6207 I don't think there's a hard and fast rule. People vary in how quickly they feel sure about their feelings. I think it has more to do with what you're willing to put up with. My rule of thumb is, "Don't invest more than you are willing to lose." I once worked really hard at a relationship, and when the guy started reciprocating (asking me for things), I realized I just didn't like him that much. I had been sinking a lot of energy into him because I wanted a relationship--not because I wanted him. Seems like you should search your heart. If you're giving pieces of yourself to keep the relationship going, you should move on, but if the relationship, as it stands, is meeting your needs in some way, be patient. It might work out even after six months. I also think drifting away and exploring your options is a lowkey way of asking for a commitment. If he hasn't made the relationship exclusive, why should you? Just do it in a nice way, not a "i'm going to stick it to you for not committing" way.... but then again, what do I know?
