    “If a guy truly likes you he won’t put himself in a position to loss you.” That’s the big thing to remember.

      What you consider "putting himself in a position to lose you" might not appear that way to him. And in reality, every man puts theirself in a position to lose their girlfriend/wife just by leaving for work every day. If a woman wants to leave, there's nothing a man can do.

It’s unfair how we women are treated sometimes even when we love a man. I guess men don’t care after they have us idk. This is why women don’t bother in the first place we just don’t give a man a chance we understand along the way he’ll get too comfortable & take us for granted.

      I'm doing that now breadcrumbing back. Then he almost swoops at me. Lol. He doesnt communicate too well in person. Yeah I'm not enough. Well I'm looking somewhere else but he doesnt know it yet. I wonder how many of his Fb friends he tells they're his "best friend" or "sweet" or he doesnt want to "lose me that he'd be heartbroken" . Lots of talk but no action. I remember what he said b4 just about other things nothing to do with me, and later the story changes. White lies so I'm sure he's lying when he tells me stuff. He was glad to invite me to his relatives picnic last year. His sister was very friendly with me and his mom. He really wanted me to like everyone. Then just after the picnic he discovered Fb and he friends women like crazy. Over 4 days he friended 75 of them. Every weekend he adds about 30 or more. Just a Fb addict to chat. I unfriended him & I don't think he knows it. We text a few times a day, but I don't believe him. I think he believes our texts are staying in touch, for what I don't know. So I'll breadcrumb him back. We are both in our 60s!

      This is the erroneous mindset that keeps you all single. You can’t seriously expect to be a guy’s priority when you haven’t earned it. Men have lives before they meet you, lives which they’re not about to upend for some girl they just met and have no rapport with. A man’s family, passion, career, hobbies, friends, etc. all come before some woman, and she only moves up on that list after showing that she deserves it. If you don’t agree with that, then you need to check your entitlement.

    Interesting, just knew someone like this, very cool and composed, I even doubted if he was interested in me, but he kept the chat going so I guess he was interested. Now I get this. He can be interested in me, just not as strong as I'd expect (comparing to other guys). Not making huge effort can be due to a number of reasons, he maybe busy for work, maybe just out of relationship, may just want to start things slowly....If he does not treat me as his priority, I won't put him my top list either, I have many other things in my life too. Things can only work if both sides want to invest little bit more, only one person over-investing won't work.

    Elliot , 6 months ago i was completely distraught and started watching your videos since the guy i was seeing at the time was behaving this exact same way. Breadcrumbing, not committing, no titles, kot defining the relationship, more like friends with benefits, the occasional date and sleep over. Many times i threatened him with, ill walk away if you wont commit and he always said its up to me.im an intelligent woman, just ignore these sorts of statements because of being in denial while knowing the truth within. I have not seen him for 6 months, i broke no contact once and he seemed cold and indifferent and i never agaim reached out after that. I still think of him to this day probably because i always want things i cant have but im smart enough to know the gig is over. He aimt comin back, he liked me but not enough and i simply wasnt what he wanted. Next.

      Alejandra Galvis I am in the same situation. We have been dating first it was we were committed sexually 🙄and exploring the possibility of a relationship then about a month ago I got the title of girlfriend but we only see each other basically on weekends. (We live like 15-20 minutes apart)I understand we both work and have a little bit different schedules but still I feel like shouldn’t you want to see me a little more often? He does go to bed early because he gets up early. But when I met him he was out like every night. Now he doesn’t go out? Should I be happy that he stays home all the time? But he’s still not spending any time with me. He will text a little through out the day and always call at least once after I’m off work and before he goes to bed. I don’t know it doesn’t sound bad when I type it but I swear it’s a weird feeling. One of his excuses is that he hates my bed and can’t sleep comfortably in it so he is like if you get a bed like mine I will stay over more... he’s also been single for 7 years and dated some girls over 6 months and never got to a title. I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️ and if I pull back he will make an effort like I sent him a text last night and said sometimes I feel like you don’t even like me and he was like wtf why?? And called me and stayed on the phone for 2 hours and said I do like you and obviously I understand you want more time and I feel like is he just doing maintenance? Sometimes he will come over and say he’s exhausted but he did everything and he’s here for me. He’s like I need to enjoy the time I have with him. Sometimes it’s more sometimes is less. He’s like I have no expectations so I’m never disappointed and he says I need to get to that point as if I’m needy but I don’t over text or call and I don’t bring it up or complain a lot but I do let him know if it’s bothering me

    I was talking to a guy for about 2-3 weeks. Met on Bumble got him off of there quickly moved to phone he didn’t have a problem with texting. It was both of us initiating from the start and continuing but not over doing it from either side. But I wasn’t able to grab lunch when he asked which would have been our first time meeting. He never reached out while I was still in the area the next day. He was upfront said I wasn’t his type and I said how do you know based off a photo when our conversations are fun and flowing great give it a chance. But I didn’t persist I continued just living my life. He seemed to come around and continued talking and would initiate on his own almost every day.
    So technically Communication was consistent from day one til yesterday. We’d naturally progress to very sexual conversations and both really wanted it.
    A few times he’d go out to grab a drink and then would get so aggressive demanding things from me. Not believing things I say. And then threatening to cut things off.
    I’m glad it ended and I dodged the bullet of never doing anything physical with him.
    Girls aren’t the only ones who become messy we need to play the game a bit too to get him to show his true colors before we walk into a disaster.

    Elliott you are exactly right, however do you think that's the case in my situation...Been seeing a guy since October and he is a supervisor in the Behavioral Health department of a hospital and he is on call when he's not at work which is 6 days a week ...8 plus hours a day...I asked him about being exclusive and he agreed and he truly is making effort to see me more...He asked how I felt about moving in together in 6 months when his lease is up...time will tell...he would see me daily vs. once a month.
    My ex boyfriend is 30 and Im 43...and he put me through ups and downs hot and cold breadcrumbing and much heart break so now I'm moving slow and not giving my heart or trust away and risk heartbreak again. My new bf is very good to me and I don't question where I stand and he communicates...my ex is emotionally unavailable in my opinion not to mention his habit of only getting with coworkers which is convenient since he has no license or car..He was a drinker boxer and has had some learning disabilities all his life and now brain damage etc from being hit in the head for 13 years. Ive been there for him and had a deep connection but he stopped needing me after he got sober and I had an accident so I couldn't see him. I've cut my ex off and stop being his option, being absent is best and he'll get a clue....He lost a good woman and he knows it.
    Now I have a man not a boy who knows what he wants

Now I know forsure it’s the distance, I haven’t been needy, clingy and I have only initiated contact with him twice. He’s supposed to come here next month so I guess that will determine what happens.

Only thing is the first date he was embarrassingly late....I still went. Told him to get his act together....2nd date he was on time. 3rd date late....but he texted and kept me posted. Even on the 1st date. This guy is not afraid of commitment within the 1st couple of wks he asked to be exclusive and still does. But I get in my head as to why....I ask myself is it bc he want a gf by his bday in April, arm candy......etc. so I've been acting lk an obnoxious brat bc he doesnt do this or tht.

He doesn’t want to put a title on things until he talks with his ex wife (they share a daughter) about him dating again. They have a “healthy” co parenting relationship between them. This is what he says! We mostly just text everyday. And see each other 2-3x a week. But never no real dates. We’re basically friends with benefits 🤦🏾‍♀️ at 35, how the heck did I allow this! My gut is yelling at me & telling me he’s playing me BIG time but I like him & keep thinking what if I just have trust issues. So I’ve been giving him the benefit of doubt 🥴😑

    He asked for a second chance, damage was done... he is devastated.
    So yes a guy might not show you interest cause he is insecure, yet not sure if an insecure guy is what you want.

    Actually point number one is spot on, if he truly does want you, he's not going to put himself in a position to lose you. It's more than likely that a low effort contact (how r u or the dreaded wyd?) Is more just a way to get some if your attention. It's important that AT THE VERY FIRST SIGN that he's not into you, just delete block and move on. No second or 52nd chances.

    So your video basically says that he likes you, but not enough to commit to you, but at the 2:40 mark, you say that you aren't a texter. But you didn't say if you would increase your communication for the right girl. So if a guy is not much of a phone communicator and goes a day or two without texting you, but asks you out every week, and has verbally expressed his interest, is he still "just not that into you?"

      It means nothing but an empty promise. Maybe he has come to the realization that his SMV isn't as high as he thought and he sees you finally as a treasure. But if course he doesn't want to commit or put in any effort, just enough so that you'll give him attention and cut off your other options. Don't fall for it.
