    Thank you! Inaction is an action. Some people are too scared to take risks with love and those people will miss out. I personally don't understand how someone would be okay with the fantasy of potentially being with someone rather than trying to see if they can make it a reality. I get that they could be scared of the worst case scenario, but to me the worst case is living with regret and wondering about what could have been. "It's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all" is a famous quote for a reason. It makes more sense to me to take the risk and find out what's there than to live with a fantasy that will never come true due to someone's inaction.

    This gave me so much clarity and confidence in my decision to step away from a guy I had begun to develop feelings for. I was experiencing anxiety in not knowing where he stood and his intentions, one day I just asked him and his inconsistencies and pulling back all came from the fact that he wasn’t ready for a serious relationship. As much as I felt like I wasted months of my life, I’m so glad I was upfront and asked because I was able to finally let go and come back to myself. I know that I deserve someone who is sure about me. Thank you for this 🙏🏻

I felt confused and it did undermine my self esteem so I took action last week and expressed my boundaries. I haven't heard from him since but I won't back down and accept that behaviour.

    That's sweet of you to make this video and share your insights. But I am so bored with the communication inadequacy, the immaturity, and the games. It's just too much work for a woman. In the old days, men would just go for what they wanted. Nowadays, they are so afraid of everything, they are way too deep in their feminine energy, and I am not the type to step into the masculine to compensate. There are just too many guys now who don't seem to know what a man is supposed to do. If you sit and wait for a woman to reach out and facilitate and initiate, think about it, who is in the lead? My opinion, guys. You have fun. Take care. ;)

Just because you are masculine doesn't mean you don't have feelings and can't be emotionally intelligent. Men nowadays are broken and don't have healthy masculine role models.

Should never blame just 1 sex without taking into account the circumstances. i repeat: Women today are less feminine so it is natural for men to be less masculine and vice versa. Men and their wifes need to teach their daughters in being feminine and men in being masculine.

      Wendy _ I totally comprehend everything you feel about your circumstances regarding your love path. I still want you to know that possibilities are infinite.
      Most ladies feel bad when going through a lot in their relationship especially after a breakup or divorce. They want to see their ex, check in on what they're doing, and maybe even do a little stalking Lol! But absolutely none of that is helpful. Here is a situation between my lover and I, It's a long story but i will make it brief
      to your understanding. I was in a relationship with my man for a couple of years and both of us were heading to the altar. We were thrilled about that!
      One day he returned back from the office and I noticed he was angry & aggressive towards me. I asked him what was wrong, He kept mute. I was so confused about the sudden change of behavior! Then he looked at me and said "I’m not interested anymore" . I almost collapsed and felt heart broken that moment. He moved out of our house to another residential area. I wept bitterly but I had this mindset that everything is going to work out for me someday. I remained optimistic.
      And one faithful day I came across a video clip on the TH-cam channel tarot reading. I was watching the videos suggestion on a daily basis not knowing that there is a solution to my marital challenges. Later that night while I was sleeping, I received a message and notification on my phone from a lady that lives in Dakota. She said there is an astrologer that can help me with my situation at that moment. I was nervous! She told me everything about this great woman. She shared with me her info. And I should reach out to her on her contact address. I reached out to her, whole & behold my story changed! A few days later my man sent me a text! I was so elated! He apologised and we reconciled. We are back together & getting married any moment from now. All thanks to Ella love guidance. She was the one that helped to bring my man back and resolved my marital issues.

      It's very possible. The very least they can do is communicate that though. It's not hard for a guy to say 'look, I really like you too, & I want to see where things go with you, but right now I don't have XYZ sorted (usually finances/money/job, as I know most masculine guys like to have their ducks in a row before taking their shot), but when I do, I'd like to see where this goes. In the meantime, maybe we can hang out, watch a movie, etc. and not feel any pressure of moving too fast'. - it's not that difficult.
      A lot of times both parties aren't ready for being in a relationship, but the very least they can do is communicate/clarify why they're breadcrumbing, ignoring your texts, etc. - it's really rude and disrespectful. The guy that I like does this all the time. I just wish he'd communicate and clarify why he's doing it. If he's just stringing me along and playing with my heart, or whether there's a genuine connection but he's not ready to pursue me. It's not that difficult to say the truth and be honest.

      Daniela, I totally comprehend everything you feel about your circumstances regarding your love path. I still want you to know that possibilities are infinite.
      Most ladies feel bad when going through a lot in their relationship especially after a breakup or divorce. They want to see their ex, check in on what they're doing, and maybe even do a little stalking Lol! But absolutely none of that is helpful. Here is a situation between my lover and I, It's a long story but i will make it brief
      to your understanding. I was in a relationship with my man for a couple of years and both of us were heading to the altar. We were thrilled about that!
      One day he returned back from the office and I noticed he was angry & aggressive towards me. I asked him what was wrong, He kept mute. I was so confused about the sudden change of behavior! Then he looked at me and said "I’m not interested anymore" . I almost collapsed and felt heart broken that moment. He moved out of our house to another residential area. I wept bitterly but I had this mindset that everything is going to work out for me someday. I remained optimistic.
      And one faithful day I came across a video clip on the TH-cam channel tarot reading. I was watching the videos suggestion on a daily basis not knowing that there is a solution to my marital challenges. Later that night while I was sleeping, I received a message and notification on my phone from a lady that lives in Dakota. She said there is an astrologer that can help me with my situation at that moment. I was nervous! She told me everything about this great woman. She shared with me her info. And I should reach out to her on her contact address. I reached out to her, whole & behold my story changed! A few days later my man sent me a text! I was so elated! He apologised and we reconciled. We are back together & getting married any moment from now. All thanks to Ella love guidance. She was the one that helped to bring my man back and resolved my marital issues.
      If you are still interested in her service,
      You can hit her up on
