We are out there, an introvert woman would be ideal for me lol. I know as an introvert we definitely do remember pretty much everything, even the stuff I'd rather not..lol. being an introvert is great tho
1. A quiet man uses his presence as a way of pursuing a woman. 2. A quiet man uses serving as a way of pursuing a woman. 3. A quiet man uses strong language once he decides to express himself.
I have a question. How do males and females bond with each other? I don't see how men and women can bond (especially romantically) with each other. Men and women think very differently from each other. It seems like it's impossible for men and women to emotionally connect with each other. Women do emotionally connect with other women, better than men do. Women can build incredible friendships and become very close to each other in a way men can't bond, and science shows that women can bond very well with each other. Generally, women are even more social than men are. After something bad happens, a woman quickly rushes to talk to all of her female friends to get support, whereas a man can isolate himself and grief alone.
The tricky part is figuring out if the dude is a quiet guy or a not interested guy. They both act the same!!! And a woman has to be so careful about expressing interest because she can so easily be perceived as desperate.
I think you should start with *short* casual or even to some extent very unnecessary things - like study/work related stuff. If you do that a few times (without sounding interested or anything) He'd muster up courage to talk to you just as casually. You can slowly turn it up then. If he's interested, he'll follow your lead 😊 I'm also a Shy guy and it has happened to me once. That's how I know 😉 And unless he's a person with bad friends, you don't need to worry about looking desperate. You can just say, "We're all just Social Animals" 😁 All The Best to all of you 😊
This was my husband of thirty-four years and three months!!! He died suddenly in November 2022. What a tremendous void he left in his wake. I cannot describe how much I miss him. I am extremely blessed to have had him.
I’m sorry for your loss ❤ but I’m glad you got to experience such a wonderful love and marriage. May God bless you generously and exceedingly as you walk in this new season. God will never leave you ❤
Yes,same for me,my husband of 36 years suddenly passed away a little over 3 months ago.Such a quiet,sweet personality,definitely my best friend,we were inseparable,loved being together all the time,beliefs & morals the same.He left a void that seems like it can never again be filled.My sadness & loneliness never seems to dissipate or diminish.I am trusting God for peace & solace.Amen.
This is true. My partner and I are both quiet and considerate so neither of us wanted to do anything to make either feel uncomfortable. We worked together but I left, hoping he would pursue me. He was going to ask me out and, as it turns out, we’re a couple now. A Christmas miracle happened for us. Our coming together is simply miraculous and unexpected in our mutual attraction to who each other is. He’s gentle, loving and committed. A true, traditional gentleman.
If a guy is usually pretty outgoing and friendly and appears to like you but somehow appears nervous and a little quieter around you, it might be a good sign ☺
THIS RIGHT HERE! I'm an introvert with the "gift" of quality time. It's SO hard to find guys who want to slow down, spend time, and enjoy a deep (or light) conversation with me. I've only had two guy friends in my lifetime who had this gift, and they were awesome! I'm an older, never married single (no kids--my preference), who is still praying for my Boaz. Also, I'd like to thank my parents (married 58 years) for explaining and demonstrating God's way of biblical marriage to their kids. Mark, keep up the good work!
Amen to what Vincent Ortega said. Just keep THANKING GOD (in advance, as Hezekiah did) for the godly man that GOD CHOSE-- not you... and WAIT WAIT WAIT. Anything less is a PAINFUL WASTE OF TIME. TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART Prov 3
" and enjoy a deep (or light) conversation with me " Tina, I think he's talking about YOU picking up the slack for the relational connection, because this kind of man can't even start a conversation, much less maintain a 'deep ongoing dialogue'. He's talking about having a life with a man that looks to his wife to fill this "verbal short-coming".
WHAT IS SO AMAZING IS I KNOW my husband is on his way and suddenly all of these helpful videos about marriage just started popping up and they are so HELPFUL and enlightening. Thank you LORD for being so mindful and helpful.
I was chuckling the whole way through this video because I have definitely found a quiet guy and this is exactly how he is expressing himself to me... through his hands in serving me. I love it! So many good points in this video!! I have been around the block a few times and let me tell ya, being with a quiet guy having quality time is such a blessing compared to dating drama ego filled guys. Give the quiet guys a chance, be patient on them opening up. You will be blessed.
I LOVE the way this video presents the quiet type of guy as such a normal thing. I just feel like there are a lot of quiet guys out there just being themselves and it's a valuable personality trait that gets overlooked sometimes. We love you, quiet guys!
I notice this with my son. He shows me he cares when he remembers things I have said and then does it. He doesn't hug me or tell me caring things, but he does listen well. It was very important to him to be on time for a dance that a girl asked him to recently. He probably would have been too shy to ask her, but she notices the value in him and wanted to go with him.
This is fascinating. A quiet guy sounds very attractive and charming in their own way. I’ve only dated expressive men that were players. Now that I’m Christian, a quiet guy (that’s also a Christian) sounds nicer lol waiting on God 🙏🏼
They can be players too. Be careful. Having suffered too much now i dont compromise on basic principles. Pray that the Holy Spirit gives you discernment
All the points Mark said makes sense. If a quiet guy pursues a woman, the woman might empower and strengthen his verbal shortcomings. However, I will add that if he pursues a woman quietly and slowly builds trust with the woman, eventually he can be a little bit more expressive and will be able to talk way later because again, he trusts her. That's what I believe.
Thank you for this! This is my fiance almost to a T. It really caught my attention because he didn't say all of these flowery things and was so reserved. I struggled with this at first, but have come to appreciate this about him. It distinguishes him from any other man I've been in a relationship with. My love languages are quality time and words of encouragement. He may not talk all the time, but when he does, he knows me well enough to say just what I need to hear even if it's not what I want to hear at that moment. And shocker...he has a clever sense of humor. You wouldn't expect it with him being so quiet, but he can say something and leave me speechless or have me busting out laughing. Ladies, don't discount these guys! They can and will treat you like a queen if you're patient with them and acknowledge their efforts to pursue you their way.
this is so encouraging bc I had met quiet guy who made me feel closer to Jesus and helped me to become more still and quiet, which is not my natural tendency at all--i am outgoing and friendly but also guarded more I get to know people bc of past abuse. but I felt such a peace and presence of God with him. I felt fully present with him and vice versa.
This is exactly what I need. For the first time in 16 years I finally am in a relationship with someone. But he didn't seem to be pursuing me the way I thought he should be pursuing me. Now I know he's just a quiet guy. I am so glad that I have seen this video.
In a sad Twist of reality he actually wasn't into me that much. But he opened the door to someone else to come into my life, so here's hoping this relationship works out.
I am an introvert female and I just love introverts in general. When they say something they have thought it through and considered it deeply; and it has weight to it. Maybe not all introverts; but I have often found this to be the case. Still waters run deep and these are often people who have a very keen perception and insight into people and how they tick. Like an iceberg, there is so much more going on under the surface. Thanks for this video Mark. It's so easy for women to mess things up with this kind of guy as it's easy to misunderstand their intentions.
This is so true dawg there’s a girl at my small group and I have trouble talking to her directly because I hate talking but I love standing beside her or a few feet away just to listen. Listen is the key word because I remember all the small things about her I hope to use one day to connect
I think people also have to understand that this can go both ways. A quiet woman and a quiet man. I can 110% relate to this video and I’m a girl/woman. I just felt God wanted me to remind people of that 😊💕🌿
I'm learning this at this present moment how to be more honest about my expressions. I'm naturally quiet, but if I truly like someone, I will chat as a friend to get to know someone. Then I pray about it and if God says yes, then take action.
@royalevictoria You know the presence of the Holy Spirit you feel when someone gives a good one liner during a sermon or even in a worship song that just spiritually speaks to you. It's the same thing if you're praying to Christ just sit still and wait for an answer. It can even happen when you think about it like you can think for example "God can I date this guy" Then you feel the presence of the Holy Spirit that is confirming that you can. Or you can ask yes or no and see which one you feel the presence.
@vivaeuropa3005 Great response. I'm still in a waiting season in my life. While waiting, I'm fulfilling my calling to be in a Grad school program at Seminary. My call to do the will of the Lord is top priority. My desire for a future companion will be fulfilled in which she will have the same desire to do the will of the Lord as I do. She will be in my life in the future. Until then, my focus on studying the Word of God is my primary focus. And she will be my secondary focus.
Thanks so much for making this video Mark. I am a quiet guy and I hope a lot of women see this video and understand what you are saying. Cuz you are hitting the bullseye on this.
I’m currently dating a quiet guy. He is unlike any other man I’ve dated, as I’m used to more charismatic, outgoing men. I’ve been struggling to not lose interest, because o do like him and I think there’s potential there. My issue is I feel like unless he’s talking about something he’s passionate about, mostly work, I have to drive the conversation. Doing this makes me feel like I’m stepping out of my feminine. I’d prefer his masculine to lead the conversation at times. This video has helped me make sense of him and has given me a different perspective. Thank you.
I love your videos and they have been a huge help to me in adjusting my understanding of how to respond to pursuit from a Godly man. But this one was exactly what I needed. God keeps telling me he is pursuing me, but it doesn't look like I expected and that has made me second guess what is happening. What it does look like is exactly this, as you've described in this video. So it is a beautiful confirmation. And for the record, so, so many women do not understand the things you've described here.
Amen to that! Many women probably need to hear/read what you've said here - especially that "it doesn't look like [you] expected. Lol! I've lost out for that I think, not pursuing in the way it might be "expected" 😉
I ran across this video and it brought to mind some painful memories for me that I thought I had healed from. I dated a quiet man, and you described him precisely. There were many things I didn't understand that I wish I had not taken for granted. I felt insecure because I talk a lot, but he told me, "I like to listen." Long story short, there were some major insecurities he had, combined with the fact that I still had some growing to do, that led him to end the relationship, run away from God, and make a lot of really unhealthy and destructive decisions. I've learned to let it go - someone has to choose to change on their own, God still has plans for me, but this just made me a little sad.
Thank you so much you literally made my day!!! I’m having this issue with a quiet man lol I almost sent him a good bye text because he is terrible at texting and calling. However When he takes me out he is so present and in tune with me. He is the most sweetest guy and the most attentive and respectful. I could tell he is shy and a bit socially awkward.. I think that’s cute. He did open the door lol and he goes above and beyond..
this is true... we can not be great with words or when there´s too many people around, BUT when it comes to one on one, we will make you the center of the universe and the most important people on the planet.
There's another kind of quiet guy that actually will become quite expressive, once they're ready to open up. They're quite deep, which is why they seem so reserved in large social settings where conversations tend to be surface and mundane: things they have little interest in. But if they find you interesting and once they feel comfortable and trust you, they become quite expressive snd even talkative and value deep emptional connection. Things at least women in the past tended to value. So not only will they be able to have the deep sincere passionate and emotional connections with their woman, they aren't players. They are very choosy about who they ooen up to, making the woman feel more valued and exclusive. The challenge for the woman is finding those hidden diamonds as they aren't the showboats.
This sums me up pretty well. I noticed I'll attract girls when they see me talking about things I'm passionate about, like traveling, learning languages, where I want to live, and what I want to do in the future. Then they'll approach me like you'd do to an expressive guy but I still need them to be inviting like you'd invite a quiet guy; so their pushy aggressive flirting makes me pull back and get cold as I feel emotionally disconnected and it results in me avoiding the girl. This was when I wasn't saved, but now that I'm saved, I haven't really gotten out of my bubble of two church friends, so I haven't interacted much with Godly women ever. Still only have worldy women at work interested in me.
Was just about to post that lol. Missed an encounter on the train, he was verbal with elderly people but once they left he just kept looking in my direction but not saying anything...I regretted not speaking up. We had core values and language in common (his conversation with the elderly people) don't know if I will see him again 🫤
@@L62719 yea same with me, I keep seeing a man that shows that he likes me and he is not verbal with me, and I also cant say a word for some reason 😁 💙 maybe the character match so much that the nerves get in the way.
I used to be good at finding these kinds of guys until I got caught up with the quiet ones who were emotionally unavailable. That's the hard part. I love quieter guys though!
As I watch this video, I am finding and appreciating a certain irony for myself: I am a broadcaster, musician, actor, public speaker. But I’m actually a quiet man at heart. I have no problems, expressing myself in many different ways, but I also identify with all of the traits that a quiet man has. It’s equally awesome and frustrating at the same time.
This was literally a description of how I went about some feelings I had for a girl for a long time. I came to a point where I became tired of speculating if the feelings were mutual from her side and I wanted to know so I decided to tell her straight up how I felt about her and inviting her on a date. I had never done that before. But it was too much too soon and the feelings were not mutual, but then I found out.
I’m the same way right now with a guy I’ve known/been friends with for awhile. Just recently developed feelings for him & Im debating on telling him bc I don’t want to ruin our friendship. I’ve always been a shy girl & I stepped out of my box in college a couple times & always got shot down…
This video helped me see a guy in my church differently and it encouraged me to message him in a joking way about he wasn’t great at messaging so he would know that I would like him to try and respond from time to time, and to my surprise he messaged back quite quickly agreeing and we had a good laugh about it. God is good 😊
My guy can be shy in love but he does find a way to communicate. He is a talker when he is in the mood. He is an excellent listener, he has ways of showing me that he pays attention to me and is very inspiring. When he does it is strong. I love his genuiness and honesty. Enjoying the moment.❤
Wow! Just when I needed a confirmation, I came across this video. I’m currently talking to this guy, he ticks all my boxes but he has a different way of expressing himself, which I found odd because in my two past relationships the guys I’ve been with were expressive and they always let me know. However, with the current guy, I found it hard to know where he’s head is at. But the 3 signs mentioned in this video has brought me a confirmation 🤯. And to make matters even better, he really came through for me when I needed the most…he was my Boaz ❤ Thank you God for preparing this man for me🙏🏾❤ Guide me O Lord on how to keep him ❤️ Amen
This is so much my husband. Man of God has always been a man of very few words till date but he's always detailed, attentive and willing to serve me and our kids even in areas I didn't even think I needed. But most importantly, when he does talk eventually, he means every bit of what he says
I don’t comment much, but this description of me is too accurate. The 0-100 is something I need to work on. Showing interest and building things up incrementally so I won’t scare the person off when I express my intentions directly. Thank you for this video. It gave me more clarity🙏
As a quiet guy myself, everything you said was spot on. What women need to understand is that number 3 is the biggest point. Me personally, every time I would say something to a woman, I would always come across as too strong or they wouldn't feel the same and would end up walking away. Every experience like that makes me wait longer and unsure if I should say something for fear I would get the same result. If you have a quiet man around you that is doing these things and you have feelings for him, give him a nudge. Offer to study together. Suggest getting lunch together. If you don't mind being blunt about it, tell him you enjoy spending time with him. We do NOT pick up on signs or signals very well, so the more obvious you make it, the better.
Big difference! One is focused on serving. The other is focused on self. Yes, I dated one for several years. He started off as really “nice” but even then, he would subtly always make it about himself.
Omg I needed this lol. I have this guy at work I have a crush on and we are both kinda nervous to talk to each other but he constantly finds a way to be around me lol😅😊
Very interesting. I love how you constantly help me to open my mind to see men (and people) differently and not just what my mind perceives or wants from/ with someone. You will definitely be someone who can help single women like myself meet GODLY CHRISTIAN men. Thank you , GOD BLESS ALWAYS 🥰🙌🏽🙏🏼
Lol Wow thank you Mark! This is a very interesting and helpful video. If a quiet guy is in my immediate future you just gave me help to acknowledge him and be receptive. I don’t want to miss out on the man who is right for me and who I could be a blessing to. May God bless you Mark🙏 Thanks again 🙂
Hum, most of the times that I ask God for a question, you bring a new video concerning situations that I passed by and confused me about His will. You are blessing to my life. Thank you, God bless you❤👋🙏
This is so good! I was praying asking God where is my Boaz, because I love his character traits. This makes sense to me, now I know what to take note of. Thank you for making this video Mark!
What he is saying is so true. The quiet guy may answer questions days later and be thoughtful about his response. Teaches you patience and have to have your paying attention game present.
Thank you so much Mark. Unfortunately sometimes, many women forget or don't consider too much this type of guy. It's a great lesson for me. GOD bless you!
I have a quiet guy. He’s contemplative and an internal processor but he’s amazing and sees things from a different angle because he sees a lot. He’s the kindest, sweetest man and loves me and my kids so well. It’s grown my patience and communication and he’s stretched himself by talking and texting more and we make the most of our time together. At first he seemed like a petrified rock 😂 but I was patient and created a safe place of calmness and consistency and after a year, He is my very best friend and we adore eachother. Even though we know we want to be together forever He is pacing our relationship more slowly which sometimes I admit is agonizing lol but I also am growing to appreciate it because we are taking in each moment and building a strong foundation. We have been dating for a year and a month. I think the 2 main components have been honest communication (in a respectful, safe kind way) and allowing eachother to grow in their own time and way (and periodically check in and see if your approach is ok any cultivating). I am patiently waiting for an engagement ring 😅. But for now I am enjoying the process and making memories.❤
wow! congratulations!!!! He should be VERY lucky to have somebody so supportive and smart and willing to take the time to make things works out!! Kuddos for you!!! This is RARE and it is a quality that is worth of praise! 👏👏👏
I would love to read the story of how you met and how he pursued you. I appreciate hearing from many different married people because it broadens my perspective as a single woman. Would you mind sharing your story?
@Maylee Spann I am not the person with the story, but I will say that I do.have something interesting to share. I've been celibate since my ex long ago(was married to an abusive/unfaithful man and he left country and I was single mother). I didn't date until my daughter was 18. I had pursuers but said yes to dating 3 people finally. each time I learned more about myself and what I needed, what I wanted, what God wanted for me. first one was online and we never actually met so I don't really count that anymore. 2nd one pursued me out of blue. we had met 3 years earlier/he was son of a mentor and had helped my friend the day in which we met. I was so clueless that when he called me up for lunch I thought he was just being nice because he asked for his mom's card table back. I told him it was okay, that I could just leave table out for him and we didn't need to go to lunch. haha well, then he told me it was mostly just an excuse and he revealed his true intentions. I am very talkative-- adhd, outgoing etc. all my life I have tried to be more quiet and still bc I respect that. my daughter is that way; when she speaks, it carries weight. 1st and 2nd men talked big and made lot of promises but didn't follow through. 3rd guy more quiet but actions spoke little louder, lead some, but still felt like I was leading spiritually--& i didnt feel comfortable with that. then there was a gentleman who was still and quieter than any of them-- we never dated and I don't even know his name, but it showed me how I could be still and quiet ( opposite of my dominating tendencies),& he seemed to rise to the challenge. my adhd thoughts slowed down and I felt God's presence so strong with him. I did not feel bad when I had to quit job suddenly, as I felt if from God, he would find me again( but I am not waiting on it)-- right now there is another person in my life who is more quiet,& I find myself able to be still and silent again,& he comes near me to help me with my work or just hovers or lingers nearby--& it feels wonderful to not try to fill space or try make something happen. he surprises me all the time little by little in his interactions with others and with me. will see. I am open to whatever, however and whomever God wills, but I just look back and can see how kind of is like goldilocks and three bears how maybe ones before just weren't right fit for me, but that even if this one isn't for me, i know that God cares--& I can see how it would glorify God also dating this man
Very good information. Gives you a different perspective from what modern social media is telling us. I am at a point in life that I am in no hurry and just let them have their space and time to contact me / talk to me. It is so less stressful and makes the conversation more genuine and connection better.
Yeah. Nobody has it all. That's why marriage is a partnership. Quite people keep everything on the inside & bad in expressing themselves. A wise girl understands & knows how to draw it out. Once the guy feels comfortable with the girl then he will start opening up. GOD has given you great knowledge on this subject of discovering your life partner. You are a blessing my Brother!
As a quiet man, these are all true. I do acknowledge I have some shortcomings compared to the rest of the men in society and I am working on improving those areas.
Thanks for this!! I’m dealing with now. I told myself I’m done initiating conversation with him but he is quiet. He keeps hanging around but doesn’t say anything. It’s hard because I’m nervous too but I can initiate conversations.
This is a good and needed video for helping women to understand quiet guys. Often it seems off putting to just throw stuff out there, and I agree completely with not wanting to hog/ fight for air time. It's really good to let people know there are other ways of communicating, and that just because you may have difficulty or not prefer to express yourself verbally, that it's still possible to make your intentions known, and there's nothing inherently wrong with the way your built, but it shows how we can all work to compliment one another. God bless and thank you.
Hi Mark, Just want to drop a message here to say ' Thank you ' for putting this explanation out here, explaining how a quiet guy tends to behave towards their relationship or dating process. It may not be much, but those pointers mentioned really match the majority of how quiet guys put in efforts to create or manage their relationship. As an introvert, speaking to a fellow stranger and hanging around after church service is already a daunting task, let alone finding someone who truly understands how you felt and how much you are trying to maintain or please them. Also, this message here is to thank the majority out there who are also struggling as much as I do. Don't give up and continue to be you and improve accordingly (I'm not gaslight here but truly wishing you to have a blessed partner in the coming future). Happy 2023 and New Year to all!
Thank you for sharing this! Let Love and Light continue to flow from Jesus freely through us all today and in 2023...Filling us with Joy, and overflowing into others lives!
I would love to marry an introvert . Iv always wanted that. There's just something about a quiet guy that stands out for me. Thank you for the helpful information . 😊
This is my guy, I couldn’t understand him for so long but it makes so much sense now. He’s a man of few words but he’s serious and honest when he does speak ❤ this was very helpful!
Hey Mark thanks for dedicating time sharing vital information w/us believers in Christ. I agree to disagree that Boaz was a quiet man b/c the minute he saw Ruth in his field he immediately spoke to his crew to find out more about her and then he initiated communication with her during their time eating together in a group setting. What you describe about quiet guys being in the background sitting down quietly next the the person that they like doesn't match Boaz character.
Your advice is sound and very good. My ex dropped so many clues but I had know idea he was interested-he would pick me up and take me to work, he invited me out to an "arcade", and we will even nap together before we went to work (we worked the night shift). I didn't think of him that way until he started giving someone else attention. One night before we went to work he took a chance and kissed me......Guys, if she has the traits of a Godly woman and you already asked God to bring her into your life, take a chance and be clear that you hope to be more than just friends. (Don't kiss her though, things are much different in modern times). In the beginning, you can pursue her in the extent that you are comfortable, some women are just clueless and they need to know that you want more than friendship. She will either internally jump for joy or start avoiding you, but at least you will have an answer. Don't end up like Cyrano.
❤ same I was thinking the same I'm like lord it's just u n me n I'm very aggressive at times n vocal but my emotions are deep inside but I have hope this is good taking to me it is HIM🤍🙏🏼
I love your website. I have read so many of your articles and watched a few videos, too. I’m praying and believing God to fulfill the desire for a relationship that leads to marriage. Thank you for the articles and videos. You have a great ministry for people wanting relationships and marriage. I’m so glad I found your videos. Have a Happy New Year and if you take prayer requests please pray for me!
This 5 points are valid.. I certainly appreciate you for pointing them out. In today's generation many marriages break due to lack of understanding with these valid points. Thank you for your teachings.
I've always led to the verbal which has left me back to square one. Now I have a quiet guy. Thanks to this pod cast I can better understand and may have a long term relationship. Thank you.
I can’t even go longer, this was great. Everything you are saying has helped me know. Whether he is a quiet guy I still don’t see an effort other than texting me everyday and calling. We’re long distance and I haven’t even heard a “I miss you” “I want to see you” hmmm thank you so much
A quiet guy sounds like my ideal man! It’s amazing when someone remembers small things about you that you don’t remember saying
I completely agree. I'm for sure not going to be compatible with the life of the party and would definitely be drawn to the quieter man.
Yes. Like when he’s the only one who remembers extra ice, lemons , and napkins! (My waiter friend) ❤
We are out there, an introvert woman would be ideal for me lol. I know as an introvert we definitely do remember pretty much everything, even the stuff I'd rather not..lol. being an introvert is great tho
@@audra100120 i agree, I couldn't be with a extremely extroveted girl
It’s refreshing to someone like that in a man. I’ve always been led to believe it would keep me from meeting a woman
1. A quiet man uses his presence as a way of pursuing a woman.
2. A quiet man uses serving as a way of pursuing a woman.
3. A quiet man uses strong language once he decides to express himself.
Thanks!
Thank-you!
Thank you so much for this summary of the video.
Thank you ❤
I have a question. How do males and females bond with each other? I don't see how men and women can bond (especially romantically) with each other. Men and women think very differently from each other. It seems like it's impossible for men and women to emotionally connect with each other.
Women do emotionally connect with other women, better than men do. Women can build incredible friendships and become very close to each other in a way men can't bond, and science shows that women can bond very well with each other. Generally, women are even more social than men are. After something bad happens, a woman quickly rushes to talk to all of her female friends to get support, whereas a man can isolate himself and grief alone.
The tricky part is figuring out if the dude is a quiet guy or a not interested guy. They both act the same!!! And a woman has to be so careful about expressing interest because she can so easily be perceived as desperate.
Yes this.
Right. How am I supposed to know what's what. They are confusing.
True there is a guy i really like but he so slow. I dont know if he is into me or not.😢
I think you should start with *short* casual or even to some extent very unnecessary things - like study/work related stuff. If you do that a few times (without sounding interested or anything) He'd muster up courage to talk to you just as casually. You can slowly turn it up then. If he's interested, he'll follow your lead 😊
I'm also a Shy guy and it has happened to me once. That's how I know 😉
And unless he's a person with bad friends, you don't need to worry about looking desperate. You can just say, "We're all just Social Animals" 😁
All The Best to all of you 😊
The uninterested ones don't show interest in spending physical time with you. Something more important always comes up.@@christinareichhart2359
This was my husband of thirty-four years and three months!!! He died suddenly in November 2022. What a tremendous void he left in his wake. I cannot describe how much I miss him. I am extremely blessed to have had him.
I’m sorry for your loss ❤ but I’m glad you got to experience such a wonderful love and marriage. May God bless you generously and exceedingly as you walk in this new season. God will never leave you ❤
🫶🏽 sorry for your loss. **hugs**
I’m the same about my beloved husband. He’s such a kindhearted soul!
So Sorry for your loss. God bless you🙏
Yes,same for me,my husband of 36 years suddenly passed away a little over 3 months ago.Such a quiet,sweet personality,definitely my best friend,we were inseparable,loved being together all the time,beliefs & morals the same.He left a void that seems like it can never again be filled.My sadness & loneliness never seems to dissipate or diminish.I am trusting God for peace & solace.Amen.
This is true. My partner and I are both quiet and considerate so neither of us wanted to do anything to make either feel uncomfortable. We worked together but I left, hoping he would pursue me. He was going to ask me out and, as it turns out, we’re a couple now. A Christmas miracle happened for us. Our coming together is simply miraculous and unexpected in our mutual attraction to who each other is. He’s gentle, loving and committed. A true, traditional gentleman.
Congratulations!!!
Congrats Wendy!!💝 So excited for you🥹
So sweet and that’s a blessing and sometimes strength isn’t always loud it’s within and inner strength that cannot be broken 🤗
Congrats so happy for you both
❤ how wonderful
If a guy is usually pretty outgoing and friendly and appears to like you but somehow appears nervous and a little quieter around you, it might be a good sign ☺
Very true.
Got it thank you! What if I enjoy the silence, would they find it awkward? 😂
@@FaithAnswered Sure, why not? If you remain calm, warm, open, friendly, hopefully you'll get a chance to talk more at some point.
Someone, for the love of God, tell that to my Crush...
As a guy, I can confirm this 100%.
I’m a quiet guy and Mark hit the nail on the head with this one 💯
Thank you for the feedback on quiet men❤
Scary accurate of me
unbelievably on point about me omg
Thank you for shedding light on a mystery. Everything makes sense now. God bless you
THIS RIGHT HERE! I'm an introvert with the "gift" of quality time. It's SO hard to find guys who want to slow down, spend time, and enjoy a deep (or light) conversation with me. I've only had two guy friends in my lifetime who had this gift, and they were awesome! I'm an older, never married single (no kids--my preference), who is still praying for my Boaz. Also, I'd like to thank my parents (married 58 years) for explaining and demonstrating God's way of biblical marriage to their kids. Mark, keep up the good work!
Tina, your Boaz is out their; continue to pray for that godly husband.
Amen to what Vincent Ortega said. Just keep THANKING GOD (in advance, as Hezekiah did) for the godly man that GOD CHOSE-- not you... and WAIT WAIT WAIT. Anything less is a PAINFUL WASTE OF TIME. TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART Prov 3
Are your 2 guy friends still single as well? 🤔😉
" and enjoy a deep (or light) conversation with me " Tina, I think he's talking about YOU picking up the slack for the relational connection, because this kind of man can't even start a conversation, much less maintain a 'deep ongoing dialogue'. He's talking about having a life with a man that looks to his wife to fill this "verbal short-coming".
@@Kari_Michele Hi, ka .la and I are not friends, I believe she is my sister in Christ, and I'm single. God bless you Kari
Quiet guy here: this is on point.
A quiet man generally gets overlooked and his acts of kindness get taken advantage of.
Yes often times are quietness and politeness get mistaken for harmlessness.
@@dinomra7771 people just think I'm mean in general lol its hilarious 😅
@@FierceLegendZ lol same man. We can be blunt as an axe sometimes.
@@dinomra7771 I usually add humor so it goes down easier lol
10-4.
My man fills me with his prescence around me , enjoying every minute with him❤
WHAT IS SO AMAZING IS I KNOW my husband is on his way and suddenly all of these helpful videos about marriage just started popping up and they are so HELPFUL and enlightening. Thank you LORD for being so mindful and helpful.
Update I have met my husband we get along very well he is a Godly praying fasting man. And treats me very.
@estherkeeling777 How long have you been talking with one another, and does he see you as his future wife already like you do him?
@@vivaeuropa Absolutely he sees me more as his wife then I initially seen him as my husband. He said he knew I was his wife the first time he saw me.
How did y’all meet ❤️❤️❤️
We seem to be in the same situation ❤❤
I was chuckling the whole way through this video because I have definitely found a quiet guy and this is exactly how he is expressing himself to me... through his hands in serving me. I love it! So many good points in this video!! I have been around the block a few times and let me tell ya, being with a quiet guy having quality time is such a blessing compared to dating drama ego filled guys. Give the quiet guys a chance, be patient on them opening up. You will be blessed.
I LOVE the way this video presents the quiet type of guy as such a normal thing. I just feel like there are a lot of quiet guys out there just being themselves and it's a valuable personality trait that gets overlooked sometimes. We love you, quiet guys!
But no one really shows us love 😢
I notice this with my son. He shows me he cares when he remembers things I have said and then does it. He doesn't hug me or tell me caring things, but he does listen well. It was very important to him to be on time for a dance that a girl asked him to recently. He probably would have been too shy to ask her, but she notices the value in him and wanted to go with him.
This is fascinating. A quiet guy sounds very attractive and charming in their own way. I’ve only dated expressive men that were players. Now that I’m Christian, a quiet guy (that’s also a Christian) sounds nicer lol waiting on God 🙏🏼
sounds too good to be true!haha
@@mmommo10 have faith in God 🙏🏼
I'm available Nailea.. 😂
They can be players too. Be careful. Having suffered too much now i dont compromise on basic principles. Pray that the Holy Spirit gives you discernment
Or
The quiet guy often times are
COVERT narcissists… beware ladies of RED flags …
Idk why I feel so strongly in my spirit that this is God telling me how my future husband will be.
And I pray that God will send and reveal him to you!! Marriage will find you in Jesus Name 🙏🏾
All the points Mark said makes sense. If a quiet guy pursues a woman, the woman might empower and strengthen his verbal shortcomings. However, I will add that if he pursues a woman quietly and slowly builds trust with the woman, eventually he can be a little bit more expressive and will be able to talk way later because again, he trusts her. That's what I believe.
💯
Thank you for this! This is my fiance almost to a T. It really caught my attention because he didn't say all of these flowery things and was so reserved. I struggled with this at first, but have come to appreciate this about him. It distinguishes him from any other man I've been in a relationship with. My love languages are quality time and words of encouragement. He may not talk all the time, but when he does, he knows me well enough to say just what I need to hear even if it's not what I want to hear at that moment. And shocker...he has a clever sense of humor. You wouldn't expect it with him being so quiet, but he can say something and leave me speechless or have me busting out laughing.
Ladies, don't discount these guys! They can and will treat you like a queen if you're patient with them and acknowledge their efforts to pursue you their way.
this is so encouraging bc I had met quiet guy who made me feel closer to Jesus and helped me to become more still and quiet, which is not my natural tendency at all--i am outgoing and friendly but also guarded more I get to know people bc of past abuse. but I felt such a peace and presence of God with him. I felt fully present with him and vice versa.
He’s a keeper!!!❤
Preach Gina. Preach.. 😂
Thanks, Gina. Love you too :) (Yes, I am that quiet guy!)
This is exactly what I need. For the first time in 16 years I finally am in a relationship with someone. But he didn't seem to be pursuing me the way I thought he should be pursuing me. Now I know he's just a quiet guy. I am so glad that I have seen this video.
So glad this was useful!
In a sad Twist of reality he actually wasn't into me that much. But he opened the door to someone else to come into my life, so here's hoping this relationship works out.
@@koreagirl2977 all the best 🙏
I am an introvert female and I just love introverts in general. When they say something they have thought it through and considered it deeply; and it has weight to it. Maybe not all introverts; but I have often found this to be the case. Still waters run deep and these are often people who have a very keen perception and insight into people and how they tick. Like an iceberg, there is so much more going on under the surface. Thanks for this video Mark. It's so easy for women to mess things up with this kind of guy as it's easy to misunderstand their intentions.
As a fellow introvert, I can confirm this is fact check true.
This is so true dawg there’s a girl at my small group and I have trouble talking to her directly because I hate talking but I love standing beside her or a few feet away just to listen. Listen is the key word because I remember all the small things about her I hope to use one day to connect
That's sooo beautiful.
This is a good description of my husband. He does not say much, but he serves us in so many ways 💙
I think people also have to understand that this can go both ways. A quiet woman and a quiet man. I can 110% relate to this video and I’m a girl/woman. I just felt God wanted me to remind people of that 😊💕🌿
😊I'm a quiet man myself I show my expression by serving. Thanks for the video
I'm learning this at this present moment how to be more honest about my expressions. I'm naturally quiet, but if I truly like someone, I will chat as a friend to get to know someone. Then I pray about it and if God says yes, then take action.
How do you know if God responds? I'm trying to know this. I pray daily. And I recently started asking God about a guy. I guess I will have to wait.
@royalevictoria You know the presence of the Holy Spirit you feel when someone gives a good one liner during a sermon or even in a worship song that just spiritually speaks to you. It's the same thing if you're praying to Christ just sit still and wait for an answer. It can even happen when you think about it like you can think for example "God can I date this guy" Then you feel the presence of the Holy Spirit that is confirming that you can. Or you can ask yes or no and see which one you feel the presence.
@vivaeuropa3005 Great response. I'm still in a waiting season in my life. While waiting, I'm fulfilling my calling to be in a Grad school program at Seminary. My call to do the will of the Lord is top priority. My desire for a future companion will be fulfilled in which she will have the same desire to do the will of the Lord as I do. She will be in my life in the future. Until then, my focus on studying the Word of God is my primary focus. And she will be my secondary focus.
This is so good and so eye opening for me. I feel like I tend to attract the shy, quiet guy but never really knew how to respond until now 👏
My man is EXACTLY like this!! Thank you for reassuring me what I already believed.
Amen!
Thanks so much for making this video Mark. I am a quiet guy and I hope a lot of women see this video and understand what you are saying. Cuz you are hitting the bullseye on this.
I second this!😁
My guy friend is this type of guy other girls needa watch this video. I have to say that I do not like my guy friend beyond friendship.
Thank you quiet guys for letting us know that Mark is spot on.❤
I’m currently dating a quiet guy. He is unlike any other man I’ve dated, as I’m used to more charismatic, outgoing men. I’ve been struggling to not lose interest, because o do like him and I think there’s potential there. My issue is I feel like unless he’s talking about something he’s passionate about, mostly work, I have to drive the conversation. Doing this makes me feel like I’m stepping out of my feminine. I’d prefer his masculine to lead the conversation at times. This video has helped me make sense of him and has given me a different perspective. Thank you.
Amen, masculine strength is also expressed through quiet strength, being present, and listening well :)
I love your videos and they have been a huge help to me in adjusting my understanding of how to respond to pursuit from a Godly man. But this one was exactly what I needed. God keeps telling me he is pursuing me, but it doesn't look like I expected and that has made me second guess what is happening. What it does look like is exactly this, as you've described in this video. So it is a beautiful confirmation. And for the record, so, so many women do not understand the things you've described here.
I'm so glad it was helpful Tracy! All glory to God!
Amen to that! Many women probably need to hear/read what you've said here - especially that "it doesn't look like [you] expected. Lol! I've lost out for that I think, not pursuing in the way it might be "expected" 😉
I ran across this video and it brought to mind some painful memories for me that I thought I had healed from. I dated a quiet man, and you described him precisely. There were many things I didn't understand that I wish I had not taken for granted. I felt insecure because I talk a lot, but he told me, "I like to listen." Long story short, there were some major insecurities he had, combined with the fact that I still had some growing to do, that led him to end the relationship, run away from God, and make a lot of really unhealthy and destructive decisions. I've learned to let it go - someone has to choose to change on their own, God still has plans for me, but this just made me a little sad.
Thank you so much you literally made my day!!! I’m having this issue with a quiet man lol I almost sent him a good bye text because he is terrible at texting and calling. However When he takes me out he is so present and in tune with me. He is the most sweetest guy and the most attentive and respectful. I could tell he is shy and a bit socially awkward.. I think that’s cute. He did open the door lol and he goes above and beyond..
this is true... we can not be great with words or when there´s too many people around, BUT when it comes to one on one, we will make you the center of the universe and the most important people on the planet.
@@sleeping.helper thank you, God knew I needed to hear this ….I’m so blessed. I was frustrated and anxious. God made me watch this video ….
I'm an introvert to strangers but an extrovert to someone i love 😅😅😅😅
Same here🙋🏽♀️
You and me both😂😂
You're not alone! Same here 😅
There's another kind of quiet guy that actually will become quite expressive, once they're ready to open up.
They're quite deep, which is why they seem so reserved in large social settings where conversations tend to be surface and mundane: things they have little interest in.
But if they find you interesting and once they feel comfortable and trust you, they become quite expressive snd even talkative and value deep emptional connection. Things at least women in the past tended to value.
So not only will they be able to have the deep sincere passionate and emotional connections with their woman, they aren't players. They are very choosy about who they ooen up to, making the woman feel more valued and exclusive.
The challenge for the woman is finding those hidden diamonds as they aren't the showboats.
This sums me up pretty well. I noticed I'll attract girls when they see me talking about things I'm passionate about, like traveling, learning languages, where I want to live, and what I want to do in the future. Then they'll approach me like you'd do to an expressive guy but I still need them to be inviting like you'd invite a quiet guy; so their pushy aggressive flirting makes me pull back and get cold as I feel emotionally disconnected and it results in me avoiding the girl. This was when I wasn't saved, but now that I'm saved, I haven't really gotten out of my bubble of two church friends, so I haven't interacted much with Godly women ever. Still only have worldy women at work interested in me.
Amen! Thanks for the message 😇quiet man and quiet woman, is so difficult to know each others.
God bless Reyna!
Was just about to post that lol. Missed an encounter on the train, he was verbal with elderly people but once they left he just kept looking in my direction but not saying anything...I regretted not speaking up. We had core values and language in common (his conversation with the elderly people) don't know if I will see him again 🫤
@@L62719 yea same with me, I keep seeing a man that shows that he likes me and he is not verbal with me, and I also cant say a word for some reason 😁 💙 maybe the character match so much that the nerves get in the way.
I used to be good at finding these kinds of guys until I got caught up with the quiet ones who were emotionally unavailable. That's the hard part. I love quieter guys though!
As I watch this video, I am finding and appreciating a certain irony for myself: I am a broadcaster, musician, actor, public speaker. But I’m actually a quiet man at heart. I have no problems, expressing myself in many different ways, but I also identify with all of the traits that a quiet man has. It’s equally awesome and frustrating at the same time.
This was literally a description of how I went about some feelings I had for a girl for a long time. I came to a point where I became tired of speculating if the feelings were mutual from her side and I wanted to know so I decided to tell her straight up how I felt about her and inviting her on a date. I had never done that before. But it was too much too soon and the feelings were not mutual, but then I found out.
Awww. Bless you 🤗
I’m the same way right now with a guy I’ve known/been friends with for awhile. Just recently developed feelings for him & Im debating on telling him bc I don’t want to ruin our friendship. I’ve always been a shy girl & I stepped out of my box in college a couple times & always got shot down…
Same but the thing she has a bf but She gives me some signals but I know don’t pursue
Yep, usually how it happens. You unload your feelings. They get like a deer in headlights. Girls call it Lovebombing nowadays. Its crazy. I give up...
I've been there too. Don't take it personal. It's called taking a risk. God Bless 🙏 you ❤️
This video helped me see a guy in my church differently and it encouraged me to message him in a joking way about he wasn’t great at messaging so he would know that I would like him to try and respond from time to time, and to my surprise he messaged back quite quickly agreeing and we had a good laugh about it. God is good 😊
Comepletely unrelated but you’re very pretty!!🤗❣️
My guy can be shy in love but he does find a way to communicate. He is a talker when he is in the mood. He is an excellent listener, he has ways of showing me that he pays attention to me and is very inspiring. When he does it is strong. I love his genuiness and honesty. Enjoying the moment.❤
Wow! Just when I needed a confirmation, I came across this video. I’m currently talking to this guy, he ticks all my boxes but he has a different way of expressing himself, which I found odd because in my two past relationships the guys I’ve been with were expressive and they always let me know. However, with the current guy, I found it hard to know where he’s head is at. But the 3 signs mentioned in this video has brought me a confirmation 🤯. And to make matters even better, he really came through for me when I needed the most…he was my Boaz ❤
Thank you God for preparing this man for me🙏🏾❤ Guide me O Lord on how to keep him ❤️ Amen
Jesus is that you 😂
God bless!
😂 I believe it’s Jesus answering prayers.
😂😂😂😂😂
I think it is😂😂😂
😆💀
This is so much my husband. Man of God has always been a man of very few words till date but he's always detailed, attentive and willing to serve me and our kids even in areas I didn't even think I needed. But most importantly, when he does talk eventually, he means every bit of what he says
I don’t comment much, but this description of me is too accurate. The 0-100 is something I need to work on. Showing interest and building things up incrementally so I won’t scare the person off when I express my intentions directly. Thank you for this video. It gave me more clarity🙏
As a quiet guy myself, everything you said was spot on. What women need to understand is that number 3 is the biggest point. Me personally, every time I would say something to a woman, I would always come across as too strong or they wouldn't feel the same and would end up walking away. Every experience like that makes me wait longer and unsure if I should say something for fear I would get the same result. If you have a quiet man around you that is doing these things and you have feelings for him, give him a nudge. Offer to study together. Suggest getting lunch together. If you don't mind being blunt about it, tell him you enjoy spending time with him. We do NOT pick up on signs or signals very well, so the more obvious you make it, the better.
Hard to discern the quiet guy from the dreaded covert narcissist, a video about this would be awesome mark
Now this is true 😮
Big difference! One is focused on serving. The other is focused on self. Yes, I dated one for several years. He started off as really “nice” but even then, he would subtly always make it about himself.
You should do one on a quiet woman and what a quiet woman can do to open up a quiet guy.
Omg I needed this lol. I have this guy at work I have a crush on and we are both kinda nervous to talk to each other but he constantly finds a way to be around me lol😅😊
Nice!
please be careful with work relationships . . . they're not always the wisest choice.
@@caroliinec they also can be incredible if God decided on the two coworkers to eventually be married. It happens.
This sounds kind of heavenly. I am so done with men who will NOT stop talking that I don't even want to date. They think we had a wonderful time.
This is me, I keep praying for God to put the words in my mouth, to tell My Love how much I want to be with her forever!
Very interesting. I love how you constantly help me to open my mind to see men (and people) differently and not just what my mind perceives or wants from/ with someone. You will definitely be someone who can help single women like myself meet GODLY CHRISTIAN men. Thank you , GOD BLESS ALWAYS 🥰🙌🏽🙏🏼
Am quite christian woman looking for a quite man of god am single 50 years old
Lol Wow thank you Mark! This is a very interesting and helpful video. If a quiet guy is in my immediate future you just gave me help to acknowledge him and be receptive. I don’t want to miss out on the man who is right for me and who I could be a blessing to.
May God bless you Mark🙏
Thanks again 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
You just have to be a bit patient with us, because we tend to be quite methodical about how we approach Women.
Hum, most of the times that I ask God for a question, you bring a new video concerning situations that I passed by and confused me about His will. You are blessing to my life. Thank you, God bless you❤👋🙏
Same here been praying for 2 days for God to give me a sign... then this popped up
This is so good! I was praying asking God where is my Boaz, because I love his character traits. This makes sense to me, now I know what to take note of.
Thank you for making this video Mark!
What he is saying is so true. The quiet guy may answer questions days later and be thoughtful about his response. Teaches you patience and have to have your paying attention game present.
The timing of this video was divine. Thank you. ❤️🙏🏻
You basically described Mr. Darcy, especially 1 and 3. He does display 2, but in a way that Elizabeth only discovers later!
I'm a quiet chap myself. Mark has clearly touched on some points that reflect my personality.
This is so beautifully said🤍🤍thank you Mark for helping us to understand better! God bless
My perspective has been completely changed. Thanks for this video, I really really needed it. ❤️
Thank you so much Mark. Unfortunately sometimes, many women forget or don't consider too much this type of guy. It's a great lesson for me. GOD bless you!
I thank God for this video
I have a quiet guy. He’s contemplative and an internal processor but he’s amazing and sees things from a different angle because he sees a lot. He’s the kindest, sweetest man and loves me and my kids so well. It’s grown my patience and communication and he’s stretched himself by talking and texting more and we make the most of our time together. At first he seemed like a petrified rock 😂 but I was patient and created a safe place of calmness and consistency and after a year, He is my very best friend and we adore eachother. Even though we know we want to be together forever He is pacing our relationship more slowly which sometimes I admit is agonizing lol but I also am growing to appreciate it because we are taking in each moment and building a strong foundation. We have been dating for a year and a month. I think the 2 main components have been honest communication (in a respectful, safe kind way) and allowing eachother to grow in their own time and way (and periodically check in and see if your approach is ok any cultivating).
I am patiently waiting for an engagement ring 😅. But for now I am enjoying the process and making memories.❤
wow! congratulations!!!! He should be VERY lucky to have somebody so supportive and smart and willing to take the time to make things works out!! Kuddos for you!!! This is RARE and it is a quality that is worth of praise! 👏👏👏
so encouraging. thank you
I would love to read the story of how you met and how he pursued you. I appreciate hearing from many different married people because it broadens my perspective as a single woman. Would you mind sharing your story?
@Maylee Spann I am not the person with the story, but I will say that I do.have something interesting to share. I've been celibate since my ex long ago(was married to an abusive/unfaithful man and he left country and I was single mother). I didn't date until my daughter was 18. I had pursuers but said yes to dating 3 people finally. each time I learned more about myself and what I needed, what I wanted, what God wanted for me. first one was online and we never actually met so I don't really count that anymore. 2nd one pursued me out of blue. we had met 3 years earlier/he was son of a mentor and had helped my friend the day in which we met. I was so clueless that when he called me up for lunch I thought he was just being nice because he asked for his mom's card table back. I told him it was okay, that I could just leave table out for him and we didn't need to go to lunch. haha well, then he told me it was mostly just an excuse and he revealed his true intentions. I am very talkative-- adhd, outgoing etc. all my life I have tried to be more quiet and still bc I respect that. my daughter is that way; when she speaks, it carries weight. 1st and 2nd men talked big and made lot of promises but didn't follow through. 3rd guy more quiet but actions spoke little louder, lead some, but still felt like I was leading spiritually--& i didnt feel comfortable with that.
then there was a gentleman who was still and quieter than any of them-- we never dated and I don't even know his name, but it showed me how I could be still and quiet ( opposite of my dominating tendencies),& he seemed to rise to the challenge. my adhd thoughts slowed down and I felt God's presence so strong with him. I did not feel bad when I had to quit job suddenly, as I felt if from God, he would find me again( but I am not waiting on it)-- right now there is another person in my life who is more quiet,& I find myself able to be still and silent again,& he comes near me to help me with my work or just hovers or lingers nearby--& it feels wonderful to not try to fill space or try make something happen. he surprises me all the time little by little in his interactions with others and with me. will see. I am open to whatever, however and whomever God wills, but I just look back and can see how kind of is like goldilocks and three bears how maybe ones before just weren't right fit for me, but that even if this one isn't for me, i know that God cares--& I can see how it would glorify God also dating this man
Very good information. Gives you a different perspective from what modern social media is telling us. I am at a point in life that I am in no hurry and just let them have their space and time to contact me / talk to me. It is so less stressful and makes the conversation more genuine and connection better.
Yeah. Nobody has it all. That's why marriage is a partnership.
Quite people keep everything on the inside & bad in expressing themselves. A wise girl understands & knows how to draw it out. Once the guy feels comfortable with the girl then he will start opening up.
GOD has given you great knowledge on this subject of discovering your life partner. You are a blessing my Brother!
I connect to this type of a guy 🙏🏽
As a quiet man, these are all true. I do acknowledge I have some shortcomings compared to the rest of the men in society and I am working on improving those areas.
Thanks for this!! I’m dealing with now. I told myself I’m done initiating conversation with him but he is quiet. He keeps hanging around but doesn’t say anything. It’s hard because I’m nervous too but I can initiate conversations.
Amen
Same with me! It's such a strange yet interesting situation to be in🤭I totally understand girl!
This is a good and needed video for helping women to understand quiet guys. Often it seems off putting to just throw stuff out there, and I agree completely with not wanting to hog/ fight for air time.
It's really good to let people know there are other ways of communicating, and that just because you may have difficulty or not prefer to express yourself verbally, that it's still possible to make your intentions known, and there's nothing inherently wrong with the way your built, but it shows how we can all work to compliment one another.
God bless and thank you.
This video confirms that this is exactly the type of man I need in my life 😇🙏🏾💗
this was soooo good, thank you so much, sure appreciate it, just what I needed, and confirms my thoughts.
Hi Mark,
Just want to drop a message here to say ' Thank you ' for putting this explanation out here, explaining how a quiet guy tends to behave towards their relationship or dating process. It may not be much, but those pointers mentioned really match the majority of how quiet guys put in efforts to create or manage their relationship. As an introvert, speaking to a fellow stranger and hanging around after church service is already a daunting task, let alone finding someone who truly understands how you felt and how much you are trying to maintain or please them. Also, this message here is to thank the majority out there who are also struggling as much as I do. Don't give up and continue to be you and improve accordingly (I'm not gaslight here but truly wishing you to have a blessed partner in the coming future).
Happy 2023 and New Year to all!
Thank you for sharing this! Let Love and Light continue to flow from Jesus freely through us all today and in 2023...Filling us with Joy, and overflowing into others lives!
All glory to God!
God taken me to this video 😮wow amazing 😊
Wowwww. SO MUCH revelation in this video. Holy Spirit 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

He shows up and is present, I can work with that....thank you. 🙏
Upvoting and commenting so more women will see this!
As a quiet guy, this is a pretty spot on description of me 😄
I would love to marry an introvert . Iv always wanted that. There's just something about a quiet guy that stands out for me. Thank you for the helpful information . 😊
This is my guy, I couldn’t understand him for so long but it makes so much sense now. He’s a man of few words but he’s serious and honest when he does speak ❤ this was very helpful!
Hey Mark thanks for dedicating time sharing vital information w/us believers in Christ. I agree to disagree that Boaz was a quiet man b/c the minute he saw Ruth in his field he immediately spoke to his crew to find out more about her and then he initiated communication with her during their time eating together in a group setting. What you describe about quiet guys being in the background sitting down quietly next the the person that they like doesn't match Boaz character.
Yeah, quiet guy here, can confirm much of this (including the being forgotten/ignored/overlooked... or just straight friendzoned).
In my experience, people that are usually quiet in person are often better at texting
You can't have a real relationship through texting :)
I feel sometimes I express myself better though texting.
Words are meaningless. Action is EVERYTHING!!!
Thank you so much for this message - I'm really glad I had discovered your videos, praise be to God!
So glad too! All glory to God!
So true quiet guys also attract women because of how mysterious we are good video bro in Christ.
Your advice is sound and very good. My ex dropped so many clues but I had know idea he was interested-he would pick me up and take me to work, he invited me out to an "arcade", and we will even nap together before we went to work (we worked the night shift). I didn't think of him that way until he started giving someone else attention. One night before we went to work he took a chance and kissed me......Guys, if she has the traits of a Godly woman and you already asked God to bring her into your life, take a chance and be clear that you hope to be more than just friends. (Don't kiss her though, things are much different in modern times). In the beginning, you can pursue her in the extent that you are comfortable, some women are just clueless and they need to know that you want more than friendship. She will either internally jump for joy or start avoiding you, but at least you will have an answer. Don't end up like Cyrano.
God is that u giving me a sign
❤ same I was thinking the same I'm like lord it's just u n me n I'm very aggressive at times n vocal but my emotions are deep inside but I have hope this is good taking to me it is HIM🤍🙏🏼
I love your website. I have read so many of your articles and watched a few videos, too. I’m praying and believing God to fulfill the desire for a relationship that leads to marriage. Thank you for the articles and videos. You have a great ministry for people wanting relationships and marriage. I’m so glad I found your videos. Have a Happy New Year and if you take prayer requests please pray for me!
This 5 points are valid.. I certainly appreciate you for pointing them out. In today's generation many marriages break due to lack of understanding with these valid points. Thank you for your teachings.
This excites me because not only is it how God has transformed me to be but its also what he is teaching me.
I've always led to the verbal which has left me back to square one. Now I have a quiet guy. Thanks to this pod cast I can better understand and may have a long term relationship. Thank you.
I can’t even go longer, this was great. Everything you are saying has helped me know. Whether he is a quiet guy I still don’t see an effort other than texting me everyday and calling. We’re long distance and I haven’t even heard a “I miss you” “I want to see you” hmmm thank you so much
I’ve been praying for this man. I hope and pray the Lord will guide me in the right direction so we will meet soon. ❤️🙏
Yes! Let the quiet man come forth!!!
Thanks for representing the small percentage of us. Message is 💯
Ty so much! This has helped me understand quiet guys exponentially better.
