I think my relationships go more like:
1. Attraction
2. Learning more about each other
3. Building comfort and trust
4. Realising I was just imagining it
1. Trying to learn everything about each other on the first date
2. Trying to feel and give comfort and trust without chemistry
3. Doubting stage
4. Attraction (delayed response)
5. He has someone else available
for me:
1. attraction
2. learning more about each other
3. comfort and trust
4. best friends
5. rejection on either side
6. doubting
7. distant and brocken
1: attraction
2: starting to know them
3: trust and comfort
4: 0 fkn dates
5: self doubts
6: rejection or loosing interest
7: depression
8: repeat
My first relationship went more of a no interest to friendship to attraction and then knowing each other and then partners. Then we broke up 8 months later and I became depressed now I'm getting gains. Still lonely af and depressed tho 😃👌
1. Attraction
2. Love bombing
3. I'm all in
4. I notice them becoming distant
5. I notice them not commiting
6.They blame me for being insecure and jealous and unstable, while chatting with others
7. I move on heartbroken
Stage 1: Attraction
Stage 2: Learning more about eachother
Stage 3: Building Trust
Stage 4: Meeting her boyfriend
Yeahhh that sure be getting me alot, almost makes me want to start drinking for some reason
@@gamingtexter1260no don't start drinking. Just focus on yourself and how you can improve. A girl will come along in no time.
@@randoonyoutube I appreciate it man
@@randoonyoutube I've been reading this for over 10 years, nothing like that happened ever, in my experience, after social media and online dating apps took over the society, women went only for that top 1-3 % of men and that's it, the baddie and/or money man that runs away and then women cry while saying the classic mistake: "all men are bad", childish mindset at its worst.
@@Cerenduil Sure sounds like you're projecting. You're portraying "women" as ALL women, meaning that you're doing the exact thing you're complaining about and assuming that the entirety of a half of a species is both unreasonable and delusional. How in the heck of 50% of 7 billion people could there not be a few "stragglers" that are actually good just trying to catch another good. In fact, the majority of people on dating apps are actually men because women typically fear and have been taught to fear online interactions and meetups more than men
"Stage 7, doubts usually start to creep in after a few years" Well I must be a speedrunner because the doubts creep in after a week.

Your pfp
S p e e d w a g o n
Stage 1: Attraction
Stage 2: Learning more about them
Stage 3: Building comfort and trust
Stage 4: Finding out she already has a boyfriend
Mostly I can leave out steps 2 and 3. The easiest ones to talk to don't have their guard up because they already have somebody.
yep thats me but skip the two middle steps
Stage 5: Still trying to know everything about her.
Stage 6: Fall in love with her.
Stage 7: Ask her to go out on a date.
Stage 8: Get a polite but not clear rejection, so you still have hope.
Stage 9: Try it one month later again.
Stage 10: Get again a rejection but this time with a reason that Breaks your heart.
Stage 11: Crying for days and weeks to never reach your dream woman...😭
Put step 4 as step 1
Yep, as someone who went through these very same stages, I can confirm the credibility of this theory 😂
As a person with really low self-esteem, I went through the doubt stage through the whole relationship. But as the relationship progressed, I was more confident about myself and got through the stage. After year and half, it's easy to say that this stage is behind me even though it seems surreal.
I have to say one thing though... I'm lucky. From my point of view it's hard to find someone who would accept you the way you are, won't rush things, and respect your fears and help you overcome them
I’m in that stage right now. I am the one going through it. I have an amazing girlfriend who is very understanding, loving, and supportive. Even after I have talked with her about this, she still is the same way. All I can say is that I am blessed to have her in my life. It does feel weird to be in this stage.
@@Matteo-df5up it will get better. And with girlfriend like yours... It would go away smoothly
@@Matteo-df5up how are you guys doing now?
@@Harry_irl it didn’t work out lol. 😬😂 But I’ll eventually find the right one in time.
If you truly had no self-esteem you would never get past or even to the dating stage..
The most important relationship in life is the one with the person that you see in the *mirror*
Interesting.
That's either the statement of narcissist or a brilliant observation.

Why isn’t this comment pinned
I made this comment to serve as my reviewer for our mapeh class since our teacher said that the things mentioned in this vid are gonna come out on our quiz, I rlly didn't know this had lots of likes lmao y'all are welcome ig (yep that school year has already ended and I did great on that quiz :)
@@chrolloswife1321 good job mate proud of you! glad to see your still active .
The regular relationship works like that for me:
1. General liking
2. Approaching the other person, narrowing down the environmental distance
3. Getting to know them
4. Asking them out on activities, such as hiking, going to the movies, ice cream, looking for books A.K.A dates
5. Telling them what I like them for, attributes I like
6. Meeting them in the evening for a drink or for a walk
7. Asking them if they're comfortable with me coming up after some time of doing so
8. Watching series together at their place
9. Asking for a sleepover on the couch or in their bed, if they're curious enough, snuggling a little bit/just enjoying their proximity
10. Starting to touch their wrist or wind their hair
11. Kissing and touching
12. Getting to know the other ones body in further detail...🌷
13. The euphoric stuff
14. Rewarding them at some occasions such as an anniversary with a weekend in some hotel that is located somewhere interesting
15. Basically doing stuff together that you grew into doing together, travelling for holidays together.
16. Never got to this stage yet.
Any tips? All my relationships held for 2 years and a couple months and they all ended on the same line 'It's not your fault, I don't feel it anymore. You've been ever so grateful to me, but I can't keep this up'
Any initiative to be taken?
Sounds similar to many of mine. Usually they want it 'growing' in some direction. Be that a commitment to them (nope) or just see you working harder at life than you were at another time with them. For me, life is usually in a good space so I'm enjoying it. However when I'm pushing myself be that physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally or financially they respond better. Some of that stuff our relationships might not see like growing spiritually but other women take notice who can see that. I just look at all my experiences as part of my journey experiencing life. Can't have tears if you don't have pleasure and smiles before. =)
@@cre8gnr8nrg :) well said
@@Sona77. ye, kinda sad; but what can one do but leave them be
Damn, you got waaaay waaaay furter than me, how do you do it?
You mention sexual exploration which is known to blind people to the truth of how they actually feel for someone. I’d choose celibacy so that you can filter out people who don’t actually like you all that much more quickly. It’s tough, but unfortunately, sexual activity tends to make people fall in love with out a real foundation
Stage 1: Liking them
Stage 2: Them liking me back
Stage 3: Waking up from my dream
I never found the guy at frist attractive it was more like when he started talking to me and then I started like him. Then later I realised he was good looking.
Exactly!
same here! for me it is the personality that matters first and how they make me feel. I never cared for "hot" guys
Its quite natural. As you see someone's face multiple times you become more accustomed to and comfortable with it.
same here, i always thought he was a "bad boy" but when i got to know him better i saw he was so far from what i expected him to be, he actually changed for me.
yeah EXACTLY 😭
Dating stages: exist
Covid-19: "I'm about to end this man's whole career"
Literally, haven't seen her in a month
🥴
Haha
I haven't seen him in 2 months 😐
Joel Samsoondar Yeah same I started dating right before spring break so I haven't seen him.😞 Edit: I broke ip with him for other reasons so woooo. ❤️
We've started dating today, but we've already shared many intimate moments over the last month or so. I realize now that emotions and attraction come and go and are not true love. Love is an action, not a feeling.
I accept that there are going to be days where I don't really WANT to be with her. But I don't view love as waiting for "the one". All that matters is that you have the same core beliefs and direction in life. If you are religious, then she needs to be. If you're an atheist, don't marry a Christian, because that will cause you two to fight and be pushing separate directions. Remember, relationships are supposed to be a MUTUAL EFFORT, not a "competition". You're supposed to go the same direction, not play tug of war. That's the whole meaning behind being unequally yoked. I personally am a Christian, and she is too.
I'm not saying there aren't feelings of attraction, because there are. Whenever I hold her in my arms as we're watching a movie, I get much pleasure from that. It's very intimate, and I love protecting her and allowing her to let her guard down.
In short, I've come to realize that love isn't about those feelings of infatuation. It's a part, sure, but love is primarily about sacrificing and giving yourself fully to another person, willing their good DESPITE their flaws, and a partnership. You two will be "coworkers" in the job of your choosing. Do you want to travel together and help the world? Do you want to raise a family together? Do you want to build a community? Now you have a partner to do that with.
Edit: We broke up Friday.
I love this comment, thanks bro
@@djangelinfinity Well, thanks, but she broke up with me on Friday because she didn't feel ready for a relationship. Kinda feel like you should get that sorted out BEFORE going into a relationship, but whatever.
She also did it over text. So, yeah.
@@cadenorris4009 Damn, sorry bro
@@djangelinfinity I'll be alright. I'll find someone who can actually distinguish between love and a crush eventually. This relationship taught me several things. 1: To get my life together, and start building a future for myself and my future wife and kids.
2: That I AM lovable, even with my mental illness. I have worth.
3: That I AM ready for a relationship, and to be a good boyfriend.
4: To be CERTAIN that my future girlfriend is ready to commit to a relationship before getting in one, no more wishy-washy mess.
5: That no matter how hard I try in a relationship, no matter how much I am willing to forgive, no matter how much love I give, there is absolutely nothing I can do if she doesn't want to fix it. It taught me that true love always involves some pain.
6: It gave me the confidence to know that I can handle it now, in a mature and healthy way. I now have confidence that I can use my will as a man for surviving, even during times that I don't want to. In short, I learned to trust myself, and I now know that when I say I will do something, I can trust that I WILL actually do it. That alone has reduced so much stress
@@cadenorris4009 NICE
I'm in my first relationship right now, but with my boyfriend, I think the first time I started to have true romantic feelings for him was on our first date. Even though I was definitely starting to like him before that, I think that realization really set in as I got to know him better. Being attracted to someone's personality is definitely the most important part, and I'd say looks are just a bonus.

Yo, literally everybody in this comment section is single.
Are you going to leave a reply to all?
@Some Rando Filipino @@Psych2go Yo. Recently got into a committed relationship with someone I had been "just friends" with for over two years before the stars aligned and I stepped up to the challenge with a wonderful woman. I think the video touched upon one thing that should be gone into more depth - how so many couples show themselves as perfect on social media.
They're often not. I mean, certainly I am sure that there plenty of happy couples but the reality is that not every moment with your partner is going to be SQUEEE FOR THE GRAM worthy and really, it shouldn't frickin' be. Yeah I'll stick a cheeky little reference to when we had a "date" which consisted of us playing classic Doom in co-op mode and you better believe I'm proud to have someone who can do that with me, but seriously, the vast moments in your relationship should largely be for YOU AND HIM/HER/THEY/WHATEVER. The fact of the matter is that the best moments in your shared lives won't be the epic travels but more the little moments when you're just laying in bed reflecting. Holding her when she's feeling down and being willing to show your most vulnerable self to her with the knowledge that she won't think you're a wuss.
I'm rambling but the truth is that you can be in a relationship with virtually everyone. We are nothing yet we are everything - a perpetual blank slate that will be defined by the next words written on it. So what words do you want written on you?
Peace and happy new year.
Married 10 years and Demisexual, so I had the building trust phase first.
Welcome to club of singletons
In a long term relationship atm hahaha
Right now, I think I'm between the "building trust" and the "seduction" phase, but I think we started that too early, and now we are building that kind of trust even more stronger. He gets me so well and understand what I'm going thru. I love him
I’ve never felt what it’s like to actually be in a relationship with someone before so this helped me understand a bit more
i just wanna say:
*its okay to not have a relationship like this! it’s ok to skip stages, it’s ok to not have a seduction stage or not do passionate/sexual things at all!! your relationship is valid regardless if it fits this specific mold !!*
i love the video tho i just ;; i feel like it treats this as the only option which it’s totally not
It’s liberal. They’re just pushing the agenda for fornication.
I can feel you im Ace and the honeymoon stage is a nope for me. Even tho it might be cuz im in my first realitionship and me and my gf aren't together for very long i know that this stages is a big nope for me
What works for some people might not work for others there's no point comparing your relationships or friendships even to others if you are happy together
I think they are correct in the stages but they are not always in that order, sometimes I will skip straight to passionately sometimes straight to dating and being comfortable. Every relationship is different
What happens if I want a relationship but I don't like when they touch me in my oppnion I hate it , like what if I can't make a guy happy caus when wants to touch me but I don't allow it because it make some uncomfortable
I feel like these steps probably apply for people who are generally mentally and emotionally healthy. As a person with severe anxiety, depression, and a background of trauma, my relationships seem to follow a similar timeline but, for example, the "doubting" phase is constant and it's not because I'm with the wrong partner, it's because there are things I need to work through. Learning to trust is also very, very slow and the comfort of being vulnerable does not come until later. I'm also dating someone I became friends with first and became attracted to later. There may be a general pattern with human relationships, but there is no norm that everyone should follow or a way every relationship should look. Work on being your best self!
ratio.
same omg
Lol. I just don't attempt relationships. I'd treat any woman I end up with like shit, so I stay single.
Beyond that, I'm just stuck taking care of my actual family, mother, sister, brother for the foreseeable future.
By the time I'd be free to pursue romance, and hopefully mentally ready for it, I'll be 50 at the youngest or 60 at the oldest.
And it's not like anyone of us is attracted to old people. We simply remain attracted to our lover as they age.
I'm not gonna WANT romance by the time I'm free to.
Thank you for sharing it :)
@@Coreisus are you seeing a therapist for ur mental health? it may help
1. Learning more about them
-typically when it's in a place we happen to talk about interests; work, online, mutual friend groups, etc.
2. Continuing to learn more about them. I.e. talking about our different interests.
3. Actually going on dates.
4. Building comfort and trust
5. Attraction
6. Getting serious
-like talking about the future and feeling like we could be together.
7. Doubts
-mainly worrying that I'm not enough (purely a me thing that wasn't caused by the other person. Though it has been caused by others before sooo)
8. Stability.
-in that we are ably to get over anything together and feel like we basically are a pair. Like shoes, you need both.
Just how I work I guess
This was a pretty good video! Haven't been in a relationship longer than 3 months so I'll definitely try to remember these phases when the time is right, God willing. Thank you!

@@Psych2go Dating is a midgame bossfight. You are already pretty strong, but this fight makes You feel weak if You aren't prepaired

@@Someone-or8tp Press X to summon One True Love
I’m pretty much over dating. I’ve been hurt to much and at this point hurting other girls is almost a way of healing.
That sounds twisted but tbh...it's darkly true in a sense.
Then try to not date them and spend some time on yourself and yourself only :) I'm a grown woman and I never had a boy/girlfriend. I had multiple chances, but I simply refused to. I knew that I wasn't ready for such a bond and that it might hurt me or the other person. Do I feel good tho? Yes, I do. When I was younger I wanted others to validate me. But I learned that by time I am the only one who can do that job. Idk how the two months in yout life were, but it won't take you anywhere to pointlessly hurt other people, only because you've been hurt. Try to reflect on yourself first, maybe you weren't ready for a serious relationship? Idk where I heard this one but I'll say it anyway: "You can only truly love someone when you've learned to love yourself." Idk if that might help you. Keep your head up bro, the time will come.

I’ve been with my SO for 6 months. We were actually roommates for 6 months and started dating 3 months into living together. I definitely think that the timeframe for us was different and some of the stages were mixed. I’ve definitely had doubts about it but for the past 2 months I think we both have felt very close and secure. We are currently doing long distance but we still grow closer everyday no matter how far we are from each other. ♥️
I heard of a 9th stage that accrues around 7years, this is where you seek that sensation of being new like when the relationship first started. And there are many ways to get through it and just as many for it to tear your relationship apart.
TALK to your partner if you're in the doubting phase. And if you truly love your partner, other couples on the internet don't matter and don't affect you.
This is where I am right now and I'm a little worried because he's great 😔 but yeah we're already in the midst of the "doubt" talk. On the flip of that I'm kind of glad to see that the doubting is normal- I don't feel so alone now.

Woww... this vid came in the right time! I've watched this before and at that time it was the honeymoon phase. Watching this in the doubting phase made me realise that it's normal. It is something that every couple is going to go thru. We've already been 5 going to 6 years together. I love him to bits now and i think im willing to change to accommodate him more. I'm just not sure on his part.
I just recently lost my longest relationship of 2 years to the doubting phase, I don't quite know why i clicked on this video but it's good to know that even though it hurts, it's one of the most common phases for things to fall through. I wish it could have gone a different way but, it is what it is.
When I first met my girlfriend almost 6 years ago in Gr10 of high school we instantly clicked as friends. It was the first time I wasn't as shy with someone before and we became the best of friends. Honestly I didn't know I was attracted to her because at that time I didn't think that I was anything but heterosexual (god was I wrong there heh). We know each other inside and out and really love each other dearly. I've been in love with her for 4 years before I got the confidence of telling her how much I love her. We recently celebrated our first anniversary ❤️
Aaah congratualtions! I'm happy for you both! That's such a sweet relationship you seem to have. 😊

I read anxiety's sentence with Yodas voice
As someone who have anxiety since kindergarten, and now have MDD for 6 years. I can relate.
If you have a long term relationship that started very young, be prepared for a hard slog to keep it going. You're both going to change a lot over the years, especially through college, (don't even get me started on how tough long distance can be), but it's worth it to see the person they become. It's hard, having dated my person since I was 14, and just being split from them during college years, having to watch how much they're changing through the years. I don't know what it's going to be like, having to basically meet this whole new person after 4 years, but I think it's going to be worth it. So, for any young couples out there who want a future together, just know, you will both change. maybe not anything so drastic, but you will both change, hopefully into better people, who will love each other even more. I know that it's been worth it for us to keep going , and I hope it continues to be. It's hard, but definitely worth it.
I have followed a lot of these stages with my current girlfriend as we've been together for almost 4 months and we have been taking things nice and slow and wait for the next 4 years to get married.
Taking things nice and slow are important and then the love spark and feelings will come.
We love each other very much she is a blessing in my life

Hey we got a time traveler here
The first couple stages actually happened for me when I was very young, mainly the second stage around 6-7, and I hanged around the first couple stages until we finally got into our relationship 6 months ago ❤
Im 9 months in and just started my doubting. I know I love him but oh boi never went through this before and jeez its hard. But he is always there to listen and give me support 💜
Most relationships now a days exist only because people are afraid of being alone and not love
You are correct. BTN relationship (better than nothing)
Don't speak for everyone. I feel absolutely secure with who I am and I love being alone. I'm in a relationship because I want give love back and share my life with someone.

because people who are already in a relationship dont need this kind of information, they live it :)
Chris P. This has been true since the dawn of man. Traditionally, humans partner up for security and continuing the species.
There are stages of dating?
Me during the video: Don't get depressed, don't get depressed, don't get depressed, ah crap.
Are you okay now?
@@Psych2go Yes. Thankfully most of the time these feelings don't last long for me, but, occasionally they'll last for awhile. It depends on how...attached? to the cause/source I am/was.
Oh boy.. dont feel lonely, you still got yourself at the end of the day 😌
This is awesome. Great info to learn and may be even pratice from. Thank you for posting this
for me id say i go like this
attraction
getting to know each other
learning boundaries
seduction
going on dates
learning about what hurts them and what makes them feel good emotionally
worrying stage
realizing ur both fit for each other and continue to date / or realizing it wont work out
!!
I had a girlfriend that pushed me into the 7th stage in less than a month. When I broke up with her, she started stalking me. It was crazy. Thank God for the support that I got.
DAMN SHE IS A YANDERE FOR SURE
same, that relationship 4crashed and burned hard. turned out sex was the only common factor for us.
thats fucked up. glad it's over.
now that's what i call a speedrun
1)liking them
2)them liking me back
3) me getting scared and going back in my shell
Been with my man for 10 years. :) We went through all of these phases. He even proposed 3 years into our relationship and I turned him down. I wasn't ready. He proposed again last month and I said yes! Love is patient.
This was really beautiful and helpful. I’m inching back into dating and this helps me figure out what healthy dating looks like for me. Thank you.
I’ve got exiting news, IM ACTUALLY IN A RELATIONSHIP!!!!
Edit: thanks for being so sweet I really appreciate so much!!. I hope your all having an amazing day keep your chin up :) x
Leanella yayyy congrats!
Noice
Me in my mind:
No one knows my existence....
QUEEN
CARRY ON FOR ALL OF US THAT ARE SINGLE!! YAAYYY!!! I'm proud of u
well good for you stranger
for everyone who is talking abt how single and sad they are, everything's gonna be fine, i was very sad after a being in a toxic and mentally and physically abusing relationship, but when i stoped looking for a relationship i got to know the most amazing and genuine human being and i love him a lot. it definitely changed my life so much and it happened so random.
so don't worry, you'll meet that one person sooner or later and it will probably be when you'll expect it the least
sending love to everyone
totally right
Underrated comment
Your words give me hope, to hopefully move on and find another human who fully appreciates me.
@@uen1857 ive been cruising single life on autopilot for years now. Im getting used to rot up in loneliness while litterally the rest of planet Are in relationships.
Until you start doubting eachother
I think where it can get dangerous is when steps are leapt over. It can create a confusion in even the best relationships if you're not careful.
I think becoming friends to lovers is the best way. because you already know each other, you already have that bond, you know their sense of humor. I feel anxious around a person that I have a crush on but I'm not friends with. I don't know how to act around them. I don't know what kind of a person they are so I don't know if I should trust them or not. sometimes I feel strong attraction to a person I see for the first time but it goes away easy. it's not same with falling for a person who is already your friend. it feels more intimate and I feel more comfortable because I already know and trust them
2018: alone
2019: alone
2020: alone
Me on 4th January 2020: alone still but has a dog to keep me company because relationships are not as strong as a pets love.
OML SO TRUE. Dogs are loyal til the end. Damn I wish people were like that a lil more nowadays. >:/
Animals are loyal and cuddly. I'm also alone, but hey at least, I got my bird...
My cat gave me so much love. I'm sad he doesn't live with me anymore but it can't be helped. I'm okay though. I'm glad you have your dog with you. :)
Three years straight. Now this is what's called "stable relationships" =)
I don't even have a dog ._.
The 5 Stages of Love
1. *Denial*
2. *Anger*
3. *Bargaining*
4. *Depression*
5. *Acceptance*
😂😂😂
"Ne me quitte pas"?
☠☠☠☠☠☠☠
This is exactly how I found out I had a crush
😂😂😂
Very helpful video! And the animation was charming.
I found mine was a mixture of everything, I mean it was only a month and we clicked pretty well. I felt everything all at once, doubt, fear, love, attraction etc.
real stages:
1 liking someone
2 the person liking me back
3 me losing interest
For me is they start losing interest on me :(
You're the problem, I try to stay away from people like you. Smh
Fr
Maybe you’re lithromantic? I’m not assuming I’m just asking.
or kind of liking them cause you are brored
them starting giving you too much attention
losing interest
It is so nice to know that the doubting phase is normal. My partner and I are coming out of the end of it right now, and it is very comforting to know that this stage was not a sign that we do not work as a couple. :)
This video gives me so much comfort in my (current) dubting phase... thank you
I thought people were head over heels for the people they dated from the very start, which worried me a lot, this is very reassuring!
Narrator: And probably do projects together.....
who knows, maybe a family..
Me: WOAH buddy
*_There goes my innocence..._*
You never know..
I was more thinking about cooking some meth together
I only have so much time left in my dream
@@Psych2go yes exactly
"Where did you meet your date?"
*laughs in fOREVER ALONE*
lol. Keep us posted.
Greetings my profile pic comrade
@@Cheemsburbgerz man of taste
update?
i feel that my relationship (of a year) has gotten out of the honeymoon phase 7 months ago. we are in the doubting stage, but i feel we are in a good place have gotten past certain doubts but there are definitely more challenges to come because they possibly could be going off and joining the airforce this summer, and i still have two more years of high school left, and it is long distance. we got the opportunity to meet for the first time in october and i almost feel like that replenished another , smaller, honeymoon stage, but yet i still comfortable and trust and know them as i did before, i just yearn a little extra right now after i have just had a taste and first feeling of their physical touch. but seeing them again very soon and am very excited!!
This applies best to mentally healthy people I feel like.
It's mostly the same for me, but from trauma and shit, doubt is always present, along with my partner. We're very comfortable together still, reassuring each other constantly. And honestly, I wouldn't really want it any other way
i feel like the stages are a bit different for me, for instance:
1. learn about them
2. build trust
3. develop attraction
4. recognize your love is unrequited
5. grieving period
6. recovery phase
Those are good tips! Thanks for sharing. Are there any other topics you’d like us cover on?
Crying so much I laughed at this.
Stage 1: Single sided attraction
Stage 2: Never talking to them
Me
state 1: interested
stage 2: get to know them
stage 3: lose interest
@@nicolovespanda relatable
it’s great that at first i was just watching heart break videos and rejection videos and now i’m watching relationship videos
I'm on my building comfort and trust stage right now! I can't wait to actually going on dates with them :)
When you've never been in a relationship, but watch the video anyway🤷😂
Gotta be prepared 💪💓💘
Haha! Loving those emojis! :D
I'm sure many of us could relate. You got 51 thumbs up already :)
Makes sense
@@Psych2go holy crap, now I'm at 210! Thank for your reply💕

"Stage 7. Doubts usually start to creep in after a few years"
Is it strange that I'm on stage 7 after 4 months? 🤔🤔🤔
Same
Me after 2 months and a half..
Theres a bit going on they didnt say in this video. There's the honeymoon phase and then theres the fighting phase. The fighting phase is about shaping a "me + partner" into a "we" through rules and stuff
@@tyalla2008 agreed!
@@tyalla2008 The fighting stage is what we're on now 😣 sometimes I feel so hopeless like we aren't even gonna make it, since lately we hardly even talk anymore, we're just stuck in this constant cycle of going back and forth at eachother. But I know the feelings are still there and when we spend time together the connection still feels strong, so I guess only time will tell 😪
i started the one and only relationship I've ever had, and am still in, and plan to never leave, with the thought and commitment of marriage. i didn't tell him i had decided that, but he told me that he plans on marrying me after college on his own about 2 weeks in the relationship. i feel like since we started out with commitment it will make it so much easier. we will still have hurdles and hard times i know, but I'm ready for that because i know what is waiting for me in the future. i know someone will probably read this and think i am being naive and trusting. but if i don't risk anything, i don't gain anything. plus this man has never broken a girl's heart before. i trust him with my life.
My boyfriend and I stayed in the first 3 stages for a year, we were both shy and slowlyyy getting comfy with each other, and now we’ve been dating for a year at this end of this month 💕
that's sooo sweet...
you guys still still together after 2 years right?
@@drishtilohiya yes! We’re still together now!! (:
@@jewel2372 damn you guys are an inspiration to me personally as we also are taking it slow rn
@@arnavkmr3895 yes it’s okay to take things slow ! (:
@@jewel2372 this gives me comfort ❤️
I’m personally at Stage 0: not even being attracted to a single person atm
Edit: managed to get to stage 1 for a bit but she didn’t feel the same so now I’m back at 0
Stuck at 3
Same
Your voice is so soooo pretty and calming!
I'm at stage -10: realizing I'm going to have to live with myself all my life.
Relatable
Ouch same
Step 1: Approach the girl
Step 2: Get rejected
That sums up my dating life, I’m 32 and still a virgin 🙆🏻♂️
Fred, traveling is the most effective way to lose your virginity. Girls really let their guard down.
Because it is easier for them to not see you anymore. Which is also really sad, when you think about it.
Just hire a hooker at this point
Fred ... make a list of everything you want in a girlfriend and put it out in the universe ✨ you will meet her in a few months
I only got up to stage 7.
Virginity ROCKS
Well, that list is quite for people who are really ready for it and really know what they ask for. However, the majority just have relationships to ease the fear of being alone or to feed a personal need like finding an older person to fulfill their parent issues or the just seek for financial support. It takes a really high amount of time to control our dark sides and be emotionally stable in order to stay in a long life relationship and also marriage does not mean that after that peoples' life is perfect. Marriage is the ultimate challenge to keep everything in line. So, at least for me this list is not so realistic or reliable. But still is a wonderful work snd thank you for sharing this content. In general your channel helped me to figure out many things about myself and humans. So, Thank you 🙏🏼❤️
That will help my relationship a lot thank you for making this wonderful video
I keep seeing relationship videos pop up in my feed and it’s psyching me out. I kinda messed around and fell in love my freshman year of college and I’m scared for the significant possibility that it’ll end, because he’s one of the most incredible people I’ve ever met and I didn’t know I could feel this much.
I hope things get better for you Bella, doubts are the source of problems in a relationship in my opinion.
i hope things will work!
1.Attraction
2. Learning more about them
3. Building comfort and trust
4. Actually going on dates
5. Seduction
6. The Honeymoon phase
7. Doubts
8. Commitment and stability
Thanks for putting this together Jerry. Did we miss any?
@@Psych2go yeah sliding into Dem DMs
who ever talked behind this video, god your voice is soooooo soothing and I always listen it to sleep 😭
Once every 3 years i catch feelings. And if it doesn’t work out it hurts alot. All of them were pure souls
no one:
literally no one:
me: using her voice just to calm me
Wow that really is noone😂
Jayson Marvin Holgado actually i do too 😂
And I'm playing Piano to calm me
8 stages of dating:
stage 1: meeting this super cute dude who’s so nice and respectful
stage 2: getting flirted with
stage 3: getting left on read a lot ✌🏻
dunno why but it makes me sad
Mary Berry
Wow I have no idea what you’re talking about
Must be rough?
Animated Sermons i mean i’m over it now but it definitely was rough, he was a very kind and loving guy but then cut the contact with me for no reason :/ couldn’t do something about it bc we didn’t live close
@@nyxusvfx Probably some other girl involved here Happened to me once. Girl was crazy about me. Initiated dates, kiss, sex. Then all of a sudden she is a ghost. Found out her ex came back.
If a guy really likes you he will make the effort. Dont chase someone if they are unsure. You can like people but love yourself more. The best advice I could give you, i hope it helps!
Hi Marie, sorry you had to experience such. I'm Williams and if you wish we can get to know each other. Thanks
With my gf we’re on stage 4 and before we started dating we were bffs and it made our relationship easyer
I'm at commitment and stability and I can say it's changed me as a person I get paid more she encourages me to do my passions etc she's the one. 😌
I’m single and it’s 5 am and I haven’t slept yet. :|
I feel it :(
Felt that
Xx_BubbleGum_xX •-• me too lol 😅🥺
to everyone in this thread: you good bro?
Idk. :•
I love all the couple comic drops. They represent a goal of finding someone who you can truly be you with, and I hope someday I can meet someone I can have that with. As always, this was an entertaining and informative video!
I'm currently with my boyfriend and I get doubts now any then every once in a while. But they always go away when he's around me. He shows all the signs of loving me and the doubts go away. Sometimes I even just think about the good times in general or tell the doubts to stop. I think about all the good all the time and that's when I feel better when I'm not around him. 🙃😌😌😌
Very useful video in such short time.
This made me feel so much better... We're in the 3rd year of relationship, been living together for a year and a half. Then the doubts came... And I thought that just having them meant it wasn't meant to be. I was starting to feel awful because I know I love him, so much. I thought no one had doubts in the relationships that were meant to be... But that's not true. And now I definitely know... He's the only one for me ❤️
