      I suggest this guide book known as WhatHeWants9.blogspot.com to every single girl who has problems with dating and wish changes. You could change your life if you`re unhappy with it. Start with this guide. I`m happy and I attracted my Romeo also! It is not the most effective way to make every single man like you!?

      ​@@lindaflewelling3635You nicely let him know that this isn't working for you and thus you're moving on. Why would you choose to stick around in a relationship that isn't working for both of you? There's another fish in the sea.

    I'm a true believer that if a man wants to be with you, you're not going to have to question his intentions. It's understandable if asking within the first few weeks while you're in the "getting to know each other" stage, but if you're a few months in and still left wondering then that's too much of a disconnect and more importantly - a waste of time.

      In fact, this one secret male obsession is the biggest key to being truly irresistible to a man... in a way that goes far beyond physical attraction. And when you know it, you’ll never struggle to keep a man interested or connected on a deep emotional level the way most women do. Thousands of women who discovered this one male desire have used it to turn hopeless situations into the life fulfilling relationships they always dreamed of. The kind of loving companionship and exciting romance that you deserve. If you want to uncover this secret male desire and find out exactly how you can use it to bring you and your man closer together than ever before… visit here ManSecretObsession5.blogspot.com

    I did this. I let him know what I'm looking for, and he said he wants to think about it (relationship). I didn't like that answer, so I kindly told him that I don't think this will work out and that we should go our separate ways. THINK about it?! Hell no!....it did hurt, because I really liked that guy and it took me a minute to get over him. I don't care how much I like a guy, he's gotta like me back!

      I had the exact same thing with my ex. He told me (through the phone!) he wants a break, he is not sure and he wants to THINK.
      And I was like wtf? What is there to think about?? I remained calm, teared up a little and broke up with him cuz I saw no reason to stay with him and he was like: what? You're breaking up?? Why?
      It took me a while to get over him and look up again. But it was totally worth it. I found out he cheated on me with his brothers ex 🤷‍♀️ and I'm glad to say this is not my business anymore

He respected my honesty I am giving him the space to figure what he wants. I am progressing my own life the way I want to. It was interesting as I was getting some things at his place he wanted to not stop talking to me. He suggested us to be friends. I don’t play that. I told he had a chance to grow and build a friendship with me. Next! 😀 Some don’t know what they want or who they are. I want a man who knows who he is and what he wants. Boom 💥 💥 💥

    Thank you for this advice! Ladies make sure you know your worth and don’t let men treat you like dirt. Make a man earn everything: holding your hand, kissing you, hugging you. It all has to be earned by the way he treats you. You are worth more than diamonds and you need to know that. Please.....HAVE HIGH STANDARDS. YOU DESERVE MORE THAN that guy who called you “pretty” just looking to get into bed with you. Know your worth :)

  • @boomerangsruckflug8513
    @boomerangsruckflug8513 7 ปีที่แล้ว +122

    In my experience, always when I had to ask those questions it was already shown by his hesitation that he's not interested enough, so I could have saved my time in cutting off without asking any of these questions. When a man is in love the woman never gets in a situation that she has to ask him to commit.

  • @queenyhano
    @queenyhano 7 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    You are amazing coach. Your techniques have proven to be honest and I love the fact that it never entails a woma. Being deceptive or trying to trick a man. What I think you overlook is how much your words empower women and help us to be even better equipped to contribute meaningfully to a healthy and committed relationship. Keep up the good work. Women AND MEN are truly grateful for your contributions to our lives.

    He met each question with silence.
    IMPORTANT TIP....listen to the silence and walk away.
    I didn't do that and years down the line he's just told me he never lived me and was never in love with me.
    So ask these types of questions..and listen carefully to his response, especially if he's silent.

    Yes, I went through this explaining this to my daughter. These sports types are tough. She does go to sports, and the problem with sports is they are always practicing and at games. They're focused on sports. I simply told her I think the age is part of this. When guys get older, they're more settled. So in this case, I'm kind of at the point of having her to skip the sports types; it just never turns into anything. She'll go to game after game and nothing progresses other than her going to all of his games.

    If he is showing his love with actions and future projections do you really need to hear those words, do you really need to question his intentions ? Maybe it is just me, but I'd rather live in the moment, appreciate every single moment for what it is. What do you think Mathew ?

    How many months or weeks do you have to know the guy before talking to him about these things? This is important for me. Thanks!

    • @earthloveskin375
      @earthloveskin375 5 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Long enough where you share personal stuff. If there is some emotional level where he shares his deeper parts of his life, time to ask that question cause sister, he cannot use you as girlfriend material without the commitment you deserve. :)

      Lita Mey Layco from the beginning ask WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR .. ask from the beginning so you don’t have to wonder weeks/months later.

    So, I don’t know if you read these comments but I am kind of in this situation. The guy I’m seeing did agree to be exclusive when I asked, and when I asked about making our relationship official a few months after he said “he’s ready to settle down “ I specifically asked if he wanted a relationship with me and he said yes. So we are official now and when we actually see each other for dates (usually once or twice a week) it’s amazing, but during the week when we aren’t together it’s like pulling teeth to get him to respond to texts or answer phone calls. Will this method work to discuss this kind of issue? If so how can I bring it up?

    • @AL-cv3qt
      @AL-cv3qt 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Veronica, if dates are doing very well, you should relax... Phone and text are just YOUR way of communicating, maybe he is less into that. Im not a text person so I take sometimes to answer. Just chill back really.

    • @ragga7862
      @ragga7862 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      This may be 3 years too late, but maybe someone finds it helpful. Maybe you guys have different needs of closeness and intimacy? Using effective and clear communication about how important it is to you that he is available to you can help you to relax if you just know he is available whenever you need to reach him. Leaving you both guessing is not helpful, and if your attempts to pull him closer don't work, you may have to state your needs clearly.

  • @smallvilleisdabomb
    @smallvilleisdabomb 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    What do you do if he friend zoned you, but still flirts and wants to hang out? Do you still ask a couple months later if he has changed his mind or do you wait for him to say something?

    • @lashondarochell7584
      @lashondarochell7584 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      If he friend zoned you , but flirt with you, that's misleading because let's say you sleep with him and you become even more entangled if you speak on ",where is this going" he will reply were only friends, for your heart sake leave him alone.. go where you celebrated the man who God has for you, you want how to convince him, he will pursue you consistently.

  • @TottiShares
    @TottiShares 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ha, I did that yesterday but turned out he doesn't want to be in a relationship where he has to feel like he "has to" prioritise me. But really, I guess I'm better off this way. I prefer to know instead of questioning his every move and why I always have to be the one to takes the initiative.

  • @opjade
    @opjade 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Mat... I m currently seeing / dating this guy for abt 3mths+ now... The thing is, i m noticing the sudden "change" in terms of consistency, tone n manner... Whn we r not seeing each other... But whn we do (which, like wht u said in ur video, not as frequent as most couples.. 1 to 2 wk once), there is always this engagemnt, chemistry n fun... So, i feel like i am in a limbo now, as to wht he really wants with this r'ship. I feel like having a chat with him... Cz this feeling is driving me nuts, i dont think i cud move fwd if i hv to constantly wonder wht is going on... It's very "unsettling".

    I'm 62 and seeing a man I get on with for first time in many years. He says he wants to see what developes.' So it's just casual right now. I don't want to waste time at my age but also it's better seeing someone nice than being alone. As I've been there for so long. What shall I do. Its only been 9 dates

    Great video Mat :) needed that right now. The tips were right on. I was wondering if you could do a video on how to end those flings if ever it's not what you what. It's easy to say "oh its not what I want, bye" but I think it's a lot more complicated than that. If you have any opinion :) thanks

    • @FirehorseG
      @FirehorseG 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      MagentaKia I think strength and self respect for yourself has to happen (not what he wants or doesn't want). This isn't wrong and doesn't have to be disrespectful. It's very healthy explaining what you want and being strong enough to walk away if he doesn't want the same.
      It's not easy at first, but believe me it gets better and the amazing self worth you will feel will outweigh yearning for a man who isn't wanting what you want. This gives you power to meet someone on your level and it will be amazing. 💜

    • @djw3707

      Forget him! Sounds like he's using you. Not a good foundation for marriage. Those are red flags. Lean into the experience of missing him, and let it give you clarity as to what you want in the next relationship in your life.

    I don't know. I've been with guys being way too fast. Guys that talked about moving togethed like on date 3. I enjoyed how much time my partner and me gave each other to grow into what we have now. I guess it might be because we are both introverted? So in the end it is about finding a partner that has the same... hm... pace? Because the guy talking about moving together might be the perfect partner for another women. But for me he was way to fast.

Long story short, I guess its time to see other people.He wanted me at first but I wasn't secure enough,I pushed him away because I am afraid of intimacy and commitment

    Or you could be like me tell them that you want more and them telling you they didn’t want casual either than being intimate with them after you build trust and the chemistry is so insane and he says let’s take a break. I can’t give you what you need and leaves you devastated and confused for two months now.
