    I post new love life advice for you every weekend.

    Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between dating anxiety and your needs not being met.
    If you know your insecurity can lead your thoughts down irrational pathways, how can you figure out if something you’re stressing about is a real concern? For instance, if you had the most amazing date last weekend but they haven’t texted you for a few days, should you be worried?
    And most importantly of all, how do you get more investment from someone if you’re feeling this way?
    Instead of feeling insecure and waiting for someone to come to you and meet your unspoken needs, watch this week’s video and break free from the self-doubt and anxiety cycle.

    As an adult person I can take care of my own needs, I don´t need another person for this. I don´t like texting but if I care about someone I WANT to stay connected and then my aversion towards texting disappears.
    Relationships are extra bonus in life and they are VOLUNTARY, if they make me question my mental health by such a simply thing as staying in touch then they are an unnecessary burden in my life, not something beneficial. This situation is another ``they-don´t-feel-the-same-case``

    I ended a relationship recently because he didn't meet my needs. My needs were to be heard and listened to and for him to apologize when he crossed a line or hurt my feelings. That was it. We had an argument, and this wasn't the first time this happened. He refused to hear me and refused to acknowledge his part in the argument. I told him before that I want what he wants when we disagree, no more and no less, but he still refused to meet these two very basic needs. Finally, I ended it. I realized I had to accept that he'd always approach arguments with the "I am right, you're wrong, and that's that' attitude, or option two, never argue with the guy again. I chose option three- moving on.

      Or maybe ask at the beginning of the relationship about values and preferences. But say it from a place of humor and calmness as you would talk about some movie.
      Then you will find out his personality. or he will find out what your feelings are and he would slowly set his priorities too.
      Because it's not like people dont want to change, but change often takes 3 months or more to reprogram the subconscious programs in mind.
      You may watch Dr. Bruce LIpton explaining subconscious programming that often comes from childhood because in childhood the brain installed a lot of programs and values,
      but at such age, the brain doesn't analyze the information therefore it runs in the mind as an automatic program till adulthood.

    I remember back when I was using a dating app there was this one guy who NEVER wanted to initiate conversations. When I said to him, "Hey, I'd like it if you would seek me out sometimes, too? It would make me feel wanted and needed," and he pretty much just said no, no, I'd rather you initiate everything. So he wanted me to put in all the effort and not reciprocate. I stopped sending messages, and sure enough, that was the last time I ever spoke to them. The guy I'm courting now is a lot better though. Been four years now with this guy. 😌

They say "you should abandon all expectations and just live your own life to be more exciting to someone if someone is not making us a priority." What I get from your video today is that we have all the right to have an expectation from any relationship. And if I need something, I am absolutely ready to offer. This is where My standard is, and I am not ready to have concessions on that. Because at the end of the day, if I am willing to offer more, I will always be dissatisfied with getting less.

    Amazing concept! I wonder how other people feel about meeting their own needs. & I think what I’m referring to relates to core confidence. How can you firmly affirm to yourself you are worthy, regardless of how others treat you. I also find that accepting yourself can be difficult when you compare your life to others and even feel less valuable because you don’t have the same experiences or things you see others have that you wish you also experienced regardless of whether they are really happy or if the grass seems greener on the other side. I am aware of the concept of cooking with the ingredients you were given in life and making the best of it.

    I definitely have an anxiety mindset. But here’s my thoughts:
    My anxiety mindset always proves right. Am I wrong for saying that? Let me explain.
    Every time I get into a guy (from a dating app since that’s the way I like to meet people) it never works out. They’re either disappointed after meeting me, pretend they’re interested and then slowly ghost after awhile or tell me I’m not for them. My anxiety mindset always proves true, so I keep having it.
    I wish I could be the girl to say I don’t need anyone in my life, I’m happy alone, I’m fine if I never find someone, blah blah blah. I mean, I HAVE been single for 5 years. But… my dream is to be married to my person one day, but the way our generation is makes me extremely bitter and negative because the output is always shit.
    I don’t know how to get out of this mindset. I want to share life with someone, but my hope and thoughts are very bleak. I love watching Matthew’s videos because it reminds me there’s a lot of people that have anxious thoughts too. How do we stop getting anxious over someone when we have very bad self esteem? I dont know how to like myself.

      Generally meeting People over dating apps is the wrong thing to do. 70-80% of the users are guys, and only 20-30% girls. To make it worse, only 3-7% of the guys gets all the attention, because dating apps forces you to chose based on the first impressison only. By nature girls are more picky than men (and so they should be).
      This means the guys that you choose, normally have several/many other girls to chose from. A lot of these guys knows this, and so seeks out the easy route to get sex, following by dumping/ghosting you later. The so called players. They know which buttons to klick, in order to make you feel at ease, because they have all the experience in the world, and are not afraid to initiate. So they make you feel all nice and giggly about yourself until they have had what they wanted - sex, most often.
      Now this text tip is a very general one and may not be acccurate for you. But if you want to meet someone you can genuinely connect to, you need to lower your initial standards on who to give a chance to. That is, if you want to keep trying via dating apps. Other than that, seek out potential partners doing activities you have a passion for/seek out new experiences in safe social settings.
      I for one love to dance swing/partner dances, and would love to find myself a girlfriend with the same passion. So from time to time I seek out dancing events.

    • @Aritase
      @Aritase Před 11 měsíci +3

      Now a answer specifically go you, based on my own impressions from your post.
      It sounds to me that social anxiety is keeping you down, and by this point when you meet a new guy (after years of failing), you already expect them to bail on you. So you act accordingly and end up with "proving" yourself.
      You are not wrong for saying that, but you are most likely looking for hidden ways to make your assumption be correct, so that you can lay the blame on your anxiety or something else outside of yourself, to avoid doing the necessary inner work.
      If this happen every time you meet someone (the guy being dissapointed), you are either fishing for someone way above your attraction levels, being a different person in person (makes sense if you have anxiety), pretending to be someone you are not, or something else im to incompetent to grasp.
      Either way, doing the uncomfortable action of working on your anxiety seems to be a good start going forward. Best of luck to you.

      I think a lot of the time, anxiety is indeed self-feeding and self-reinforced, so I think you're correctly identifying that part. I'm prone to anxiety too, and it's a hard beast to keep leashed. I don't think there's an easy answer or solution.
      As a gay man, I'm pretty much forced to use dating apps, because it's difficult for us to find people, especially in small towns. I've had a lot of bad experiences. Lots of people who just... don't seem like they know what they're doing, don't think about what they're saying, and don't have insight into their behavior. I was kind of losing hope, since there weren't many matches near me, and I was pretty much going through everyone near me and crossing them off as duds.
      I kept trying and kept trying, and finally found someone sweet, who I think is really good for me. He was literally the last person on the list of nearby matches (and as a consequence, is a little bit on the far away side). Been 4 years so far, fingers crossed.
      Anyway, my point is, I say keep trying, and even though you've been getting duds a lot, maybe that one last person might make you feel at ease and be good for you.

      The difference is when is a long distance relationship. We met online. He's in a freaking far away country. We've been talking -chatting for only about two months. There are many challenges and 13800 km in between, 16 hrs time difference but... We'll see. No promises yet but we really like talking to each other.

    I feel like your advice helps both men and women, I am a man who had only 2 serious long term relationships and they were very straightforward, I didn't feel like I needed to play games or hold back affection, life got in the way and they ended in good terms.
    Now I feel like I am always playing cat and mouse with women, like I can't be vulnerable or show too much interest or they pull back.
    I'm not talking about shit like "I need you" or "I miss you" that feels too much in early dating I'm talking about being honest of how you appreciate their company, I just feel most of the time Im dating self absorbed people who just want me so they can say they are dating someone

I get discouraged at times because of his inconsistency. Matthew said to reach out and create the culture I want. However, if that's exactly what I'm doing and he doesn't want to follow that culture than I don't understand the whole point of doing this to him and force him. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

    To me, different factors have to be taken in account for matter. Is your partner a talkative person or not? Or is he crossing some hard times at the moment? Was he texting you in the beginning and not anymore? In general terms, if he has always been like that and you wish him to do more, tell him. Stop listening to relationship experts saying "act like you don't care" etc. Say it right away. One day, my bf told me "tell me when you see lacks i have so i can work on them. And what i like in you, is you telling me what i lack in". Do not be afraid of expressing your needs, otherwise, these needs will turn into frustration and resentment.

    Well from my experience from going to ask for text everyday when i was dating my ex 5 yeara ago, to now just having a female friend that answers me, when she feels like it, which is like maybe 1 time a week, it is like heaven and earth changes, the only difference is that she is constant and that she is always growing and being more trustful, its a slow process and she told me several times that she is slow to respond and am ok with that, am enjoying this slow pace... it will evolve once thing changes or dry and wither is just that if I place trust, love and balance freedom. The space is being made for something special and it takes time and patience and am willing to invest out of love and happiness because i love myself and invest in my dreams and goals, so she is second on my prioritiea, so I do not codepent on her and find it relaxing and hapoy when it happens.

I’ve been seing someone for a few weeks the communication was amazing and then suddenly … silence for no apparent reason. So i reached out one last time saying ‘hey, i think i may have misjudged the situation. And i understand if we both may be looking for different things at this stagein our lives. I would have hoped for a bit more open and transparent communication since we’re both in this voluntarily. I wish you all the best, thank you for your time i truly enjoyed it..’ and then just left it there because you cant really pressure anyone into anything.

This hurts buts it’s a good mindset cus often I find myself in the past questioning whether I’m good enough or not. Now it’s just a matter of finding the right person for you because if your current partner isn’t willing to change and meet requirements (wishing realistic parameters). End it.

Next day, I send him a "good morning" message and get no response there after or for the whole day. What is up with that? I know He works 6 days a week but, has the nights off. I love to text and I love to talk. How can I get to know a cute guy more if I have his number? Could he be nervous? Should I let him reach out to Me? Should I just be patient?

    @3:47 I don't know why this person is communicating to you about this and not the person they are in relationship with. Communication is interactive and relationshiips are meant to be also, and its not just about this person, the other one has needs too. A lot of the time its the differences that people can have problems with because they don't know what to do or how to deal with this and that is why we have learning. Where I come from people can go through weeks without hearing from the other person. Sometimes people go through stuff they need to withdraw. Men normally need to withdraw, and sometimes it about having time out, other times there is something else going on. People need to learn how to communicate so they can have a discussion about what they need to and they don't have to go and ask people on youtube about these sorts of things, because they are quite cabable of doing it for themselves.

    Please help me with this. I desperately need your advice! It's been months since I started dating a girl. At first, everything looked normal; we texted and called each other daily, saw each other, and were connected in a sense. Yet, lately, she's been acting aloof; texting back hours after I texted her, she's not texting or calling for even days and I'm not aware of where she is and what she does; I mean I don't feel connected to her as her absence is so clear in my life. Every time I invite her over to see her in person, she hesitates or cancels in the end, and even she does not talk about seeing each other at all except when I insist. I've told her this issue that I need her to be more connected, present, and text or call more frequently. She accepts but acts differently and keeps the pattern of not calling or texting except if I initiate. I'm baffled and do not know what to do, or how to react. I need your advice on this!

      We are the same age. I was born in February of '68 and im still single too. However, I believe the right woman just appeared into my life. I'm working on making myself fully ready for her arrival in my life as my partner by brushing up in areas in which I'm still wea, but I feel ready for a long term relationship now..
      My advice to you is stop putting men in the friend zone immediately. Do you have women friends? Hang out with them Cultivate your female friendships and start ridding yourself of the men who are clearly not potential long-term partners for you. You must truly love yourself before you can truly love another. Love is all about giving. You should both be always trying to give more love, respect, comfort and caring to the other.
      If there are any men who you know have the capacity to do this, take them out of the friend zone by expressing how you feel about them. Communicate openly and honestly. That's all any of us really want. No one wants to play these silly relationship games. But our society talks us into it as being the way to go. Love is the answer.
      Listen to your heart and disregard much of what your head is telling you. The heart know things of which the mind cannot conceive. I wish you all the best, my sister. Remember that according to the Law of Attraction, "We will ALWAYS ATTRACT WHAT WE ARE, AND NOT WHAT WE DESIRE.So I recommend you do as I am doing and be the love you wish to see in the world, and you will not be able to help but attract it back to yourself.
      Also remember that "God is love." Follow Christ's highest commandment and all the other ten. This is what I'm doing... and it's working beautifully. I may keep aging, but get more beautiful inside with each passing day.
      God bless you, my sister.. Be well.

    I feel like if I don't text him he takes anywhere from 5 to 7 days

    Can you please talk about hire standers in the later stages, not about early stages only and not only about texting.
    I feel the bar is really low if we are talking about how people don’t text us… definitely something is wrong…
    I have been always a subscriber but now after being in a relationship I would like to hear more about later stages 😁
