    Honestly I agree with Tarik on the way he views relationships because when people become “exclusive” for some reason people change and people are no longer hanging out or texting you because they feel it In their heart to do it now they do it bc they feel like they HAVE to do it from the point on and it takes all that magic of love away. Feel me? I’m not sure if I’m explaining it correctly but I know someone out there feels me.

  • @shelbyhiromi
    @shelbyhiromi 3 ปีที่แล้ว +26

    damn i cant believe you're just 2 years older than me, I cant imagine having these kinds of intelligent, thought provoking, and considerate conversations with anyone my age, oof. Also the way you see relationships really changed my perspective about how I see my relationship with one of my friends in a way that I think is a lot more healthy for our current positions in life. Thinking about what you said about marriage and also putting the energy into the people you have romantic relationships with, I feel like ultimately the most important requirement for marriage for me isn't that I love someone to the core enough to see them through all the changes, but that the person I end up with loves ME to the core enough to grow with me through all my changes, and is also willing to put in that energy with me as I am right now. What Ronald was saying about certain standards been hard to check when you're that young really resonated with me too. I feel like Ronald has a very solid understanding of what he wants and I admire it a lot. I only ever dated one person for a year when I was like 17-18 and I hated pretty much every minute of it, but other than the serial dating I really relate with what Aalim was saying about his experience.
    I wasn't gonna watch this video because its kinda long, but man I loved every minute of it. I also really liked your use of camera, it felt like I was hanging out with you guys. This was a super fun and compelling video, but honestly idk what I expected as that kind of quality is usually beyond my expectations in your videos lol.

    That was really nice... To see young men talking about their views on dating, relationships and the changes from being youthful to now...

    I had to go and write down this on minute 30:15.
    I become a different person every year, and I don't expect that someone I liked a couple of years ago is not going to be the same person I'm going to like now.
    I don't have the expectations of "the person I like now is going to be here for x amount of years. I know that right now I love them or I'm with them, and that might change". And that's ok.
    What makes marriage different is: I love you to the core. I've gotten to know you to the core, and I'm going to love you through those changes.

    I totally relate to Ronald! His walls seem all the way up; for me I do this because it makes me feel secure, like a self preservation technique because the vulnerability is scary. Or the disappointment and pain from not hearing the *right* response is too great and I don’t want to take the risk. Although it may not be healthy, I refuse to let it go! Perhaps one day I will also work on it with a therapist 😂

    And I’m thankful for Ronald- I am Ronald. A relationship is not an end goal of everyone’s life. Some of y’all want it in varying degrees and others don’t need it.

    as an Aries, I fully relate to Ronald! when you were talking about him minimizing his problems it felt like you were speaking right to me. lol

    Roald is Me, I am Ronald. I will personally start a petition for him to be on another vid😭
    for me, its not even the fact that I'm scared of commitment I just don't feel like I need someone in order to be happy. I get that we are creatures of companionship and all but relationships are just so much damn work.

    wheeeeeewwww i felt like you guys were coming for me when you were talking to ronald about just opening up and expressing himself cuz i am EXACTLY the same as him. and honestly i do want to be that person that can talk to my friends about my own thoughts and issues and experiences but for some reason its just so hard to me, id rather just sit and listen and give my opinions on their situations while keeping everyone at an arms length away from me

    This video made me cry, just the beginning “some people are scared to move on bc of the fact that they are scared that they wont find anything else” ive been struggling with this lately. This is why i love your videos bc you practice the things I struggle with like having those difficult conversations with people who have different viewpoints (last vid), complimenting yourself, finances. And the crazy thing is, when i see them is the time that they are relevant to me. I love you, your positivity, your mindset, your growth and how you inspire me to want to do more for myself and to reflect and recognize myself and other people as PEOPLE. Keep being you please🥺🥰

    It’s really interesting hearing this conversation because even though I have never been in a relationship I’m currently in a situation where I am dating someone not to marry but it’s been hard to explain it to my friends. I know I need to work on some stuff with my self emotionally and spiritually before I can commit to someone but it is nice being around someone and getting/giving attention.
    I really appreciated this and it’s exactly what I needed to hear. So thank you all

    I’m a dating to marry type of person at this point in my life but I’m tuning into this! I love hearing other perspectives.
    Adding: I 100% feel where Aalim is coming from with meeting basic needs... whew!

    I think both ways of dating is fine, just depends on what you want.

    This is why I love this channel so much! Tarek always spitting facts and being someone who will tell you the REAL truth. I'm afraid of relationships because I used get to picked on by the opposite gender (I'm a female btw). With that, I would not trust a guy because I thought he would make fun of me and use me for clout. Watching this helped me to know that all men are not that way. Thank you Tarek for this excellent video. 😌😌

    Wow! I loved this conversation. It was honest, vulnerable, hilarious, and most of all real. I love that point Tarek made that we look at romantic relationships in B/W but have so many different types of friendships which can be applied to romantically. It's so true and I'd love to experiment with that personally.
