    I’m a lady that’s been with the same man since I was 17. ( we’re 32 & 33 now) He really got my WHOLE life.
    It took me accepting he was not ready to get married and knowing my worth and stepping back for him to get alerted and realize oh snap nawl I can’t lose her. But honestly men and women need to focus on themselves FIRST! God, School, good job, pay off debts, savings....get to where you want to be in your own life first and everything else will fall in line. You can date, nothing wrong with that but take care of you first and don’t wait on nobody.
    Trust me!

      Chantell Frazier Chantell Frazier Yes We married at ages 26 and 27. We have 2 daughters. And we never lived together before marriage . We both lived with our parents. He didn’t believe in living with someone you weren’t married to. Which I respected. But I will say this, that ending of us (getting married) doesn’t happen in every situation. You just have to be able to not be afraid to lose that other person. Marriage is a journey and not a game.

    Same thing happened to me. I had a guy I was extremely interested in, tell me that I was moving too fast, but when I backed off and became interested in someone else, he came back asking why I seemed different and if there was someone else in my life and there was. Most times, once a woman's attention is redirected elsewhere, she has lost interest forever.

    Dating in this day and age is difficult. Hard to meet someone you actually like and grow together. Social media has made people distant and not able to properly socialize in person 😔

  • @hishandmaiden718
    @hishandmaiden718 Před 4 lety +55

    Even though there was no dating title, you both were conducting yourselves as though you were in a relationship, so it’s not surprising that feelings began to develop, especially with the grand gestures.

  • @Sachi52
    @Sachi52 Před 4 lety +26

    She is right... it is not just what you say to what you do. You can’t act like your dating and then think you are not dating.

  • @lysdesire10
    @lysdesire10 Před 4 lety +29

    This is the big bro and big sis talk I needed today. Y’all called me out!
    🤣 y’all dodged the bullet with dating. It’s messy out here. In my experience, people don’t care to commit, they wanna talk for a year, then be exclusive for 6 months before they put a title to it. I’ve had to adapt too often, been led on too often. I know my worth and this ain’t it! Standing still because God is making it clear that It’s not the time for me to date.
    PS: praying for a smooth delivery ❤️

    • @YazBeee
      @YazBeee Před 3 lety +1

      LyssaD I'm glad you spoke on this because I was feeling as though it was just me! I, too, have been led on when I thought things were going well and done in the right timing....only to find out that my person wasn't in it the way I thought he was. At this point, I've taken a huge step back because I'm confused and definitely disappointed although this was 4 years ago. I just don't feel like I should waste my time by being vulnerable if a guy has a much different view of commitment. I'm definitely allowing God to take the wheel cause I'm definitely not in control!

  • @tammiedennis1509
    @tammiedennis1509 Před 4 lety +35

    My two cents regarding your actions prior to expressing a desire to date is that everything should’ve stayed platonic you can’t give grand gestures and then expect the person to not develop feelings because people appreciate and they love when people do or show grand gestures so Lexi no you weren’t wrong to tell him how you were feeling because his actions were telling you or you interpretedHis actions as how he felt

    • @CARATMom
      @CARATMom Před 4 lety +1

      Especially if he was not doing those grand gestures to several other girls. If she is the only one getting the whole date-then they were in an unnamed relationship. Even People in relationships don’t do all of that-so I would have be confused if it was me. I would have set boundaries like Lexi.
      He was doing too much.

  • @sondrarichardson1550

    Okay I love you guys sooooo much!!! This was confirmation for me!!!! I’m in a hot mess of a situation right now with a guy that came back into my life at a critical time and I thought he was the one 😢 So my Dad recently passed and this guy has been everything but you guys helped me see that it wasn’t for me it was because of my loss 🤷🏽‍♀️ so I’m dialing back my emotions and taking care of self!!! If he’s still around once I heal, we’ll go from there!! THANKS Y’ALL!! ❤️

  • @lasaundrahagans2103
    @lasaundrahagans2103 Před 4 lety +33

    I agree with Mr.Cole...
    Do not allow yourself to get emotional invested unless that person makes a commitment...
    So if your feeling something hold off...

    • @YazBeee
      @YazBeee Před 3 lety +1

      You definitely have a great point. Dating and love is quite difficult. All of this sounds good but in reality, this is quite difficult! How do you even prevent yourself from emotional investment? Wouldn't that be considered ignoring your feelings?

  • @Rishonable
    @Rishonable Před 4 lety +49

    A woman knows what she want way before a man knows what he is even feeling. Lexi you weren't wrong. That's how you felt at that point. In a way both of y'all contributed to where Lexi was. If she didn't express how she was feeling maybe y'all wouldn't be here today as man and wife.

    • @candicem9651
      @candicem9651 Před rokem +1

      I completely agree! It was very misleading to act in love and set up these gestures but say “I never said it” and act like she was wrong for realizing it first. Lots of ppl play this game and use it for plausible deniability. I don’t like that Lexi had to get to the point of leaving for him to come around. Why the games?
      I also don’t like “I’d do it for any girl, it’s not about Lexi”. What? Why the negging?

  • @Arkyark672
    @Arkyark672 Před 4 lety +25

    A lot of times people will lead you on and then get upset when you verbalize the actions that have already been taking place. It seems manipulative.

    • @karamitchell4627
      @karamitchell4627 Před 4 lety +9

      Nish Heard I agree. If that’s the case, romantic gestures should not be made until intentions have been verbalized or boundaries set.

    • @Arkyark672
      @Arkyark672 Před 4 lety +5

      Kara Mitchell indeed.i get what Brian’s saying about that being his nature , but I’m just saying you can’t blame the effects of the cause. When the effect is a verbalizing or something that’s already evident through action, then you can’t really blame the effect. That’s how we see a lot of these really broken hearted people. Then the person who lead then on makes the other person out to be a bad guy. Not saying that’s there story but it’s a lot of people’s stories

  • @racc72
    @racc72 Před 4 lety +14

    This is long, but worth it (if I do say so myself)...
    WOW. Hats off to the two of you. I'm blown away by how decent, forthright and wise the two of you are. You are so intentional about who you are and your relationship. It's not a haphazard life you're living, and nor is your union developing in that way. That takes a lot of work, but the the substance of who you are individually and as a couple is evident in what you say and the bond you share.
    A number of things resonated with me about this conversation. I'm not going to list all of them, but the first is what Lexi said: control your emotions. That's for women and men, but particularly for women. The genders are socialized differently, and women are taught to commit and love more freely and quickly. No. Control your emotions, and related to that (per Lexi again): protect your heart. I would say rather than "falling" in love, DECIDE to fall in love. That takes work, too, but I'm learning at my age that life is work. Ain't no easy here!
    That said, I think that Lexi was being asked to do something nearly impossible (but not impossible). Here is a man she knows loves her and she was being asked to withhold her declaration of love when as a human being, you're programmed to love and to verbally express it. It's natural to love. But it takes a wise, strong and mature woman to, with grace, tell this man she loved that she understood that God had told him not to date, but that she wasn't going to sit around twiddling her fingers waiting for him. She hadn't controlled her emotions, but she had the strength to do the next best (and healthiest thing for her), and continue to live her life. Still, I think what she was being asked to do was a lot. On the other hand, I completely understand Brian's point of view, which is that he didn't want to put the cart before the horse. In the end, they both recognized that they'd made mistakes at this stage in their relationship, which is a big part of the appeal of listening to them - they learn from their mistakes.
    The other thing that blew me away about this video was when Brian flexed his biceps to signify how strong Lexi was (and is). What a beautiful moment. What that spelled to me was R-E-S-P-E-C-T. This man respects this woman. In a world that denigrates and undervalues girls and women, a man freely admiring a woman's character (and not just how she looks) is not a small thing. Let's celebrate that. And, of course, she respects him.
    There's so much more that I could say about this video, but I'll stop here. Thanks, Lexi and Brian! I'm going to share it with a young person I know. Well done. God bless. Stay safe.

  • @ItsPriscillaB
    @ItsPriscillaB Před 4 lety +7

    Know your boundaries BEFORE you date. And keep them. So the gestures and advances don’t drive your emotions. Emotions change. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

  • @ceceliadavis478
    @ceceliadavis478 Před 4 lety +10

    As Christians we have to date different.The world mostly date for fun,we need to date with purpose. I am aware that we are use to moving fast and having fun,but remember God has a plan for men and women.Just enjoy the company of one another,and above all remember feelings are real to the other person so thread lightly.

  • @teedee643
    @teedee643 Před 4 lety +15

    Im w/ Lex. Im not going to play like a girlfriend and keep playin into the actions with you and wait until to come around.Actions were def speaking but so do words. I applaud you for respecting him and listening and moving on. Im also glad he came around. Guys know exactly what they are doing. No one is going to put in that much effort and not be trying to hook you..whether they are there mentally or not...

  • @greenpiglet26
    @greenpiglet26 Před 4 lety +4

    I can completely #relate to you Lexi. My husband and I have been married for 10 years and when we were just friends, not dating I told him that I loved him. I had dated other people before but our relationship and connection as friends was something I had not experienced before. In our case, it was me who had kept us from taking our relationship into its next season of commitment due to my unhealthy perspective on relationship and the word commitment.
    Although my husband knew that I would contribute to his life and that I would add value, like you and your hubby said, he also knew his value and that he was equally a good catch. Which was definitely even more attractive to me. So, although he respected my concerns and fears of commitment, he gave me an ultimatum. He was honest and said his intentions was that he not only wanted to be in a committed relationship where we were officially dating BUT he said he could see me as his wife one day. He told me that he’d love for us to take things to the next level but if that wasn’t something I wanted or was willing to embark on him he completely respected my decision but would need to change the dynamics of our friendship because of his feelings.
    We decided to take a week to think things over and not talk to one another during that time. I couldn’t even make it through the week without accepting my reality that despite my fears of commitment He was the person I wanted to be with and the rest is history. Best decision ever...we’re going on 11 years this year, we have two beautiful kids and I couldn’t imagine a better life that the one Gods allowed us to have!
    Thanks for sharing your story

  • @shakshak212
    @shakshak212 Před 4 lety +4

    I love you two. Thank you!! Needed to hear this today and all the rabbit trails too! I'm 43 never married no children and I'm a child of the most high God. I was engage once in my early 20s but God said no, I wasn't ready. In a nutshell I stop dating. And just started getting "back out there" about a yr. ago. EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED!! I don't attract guys my age. I get between 28 and 34 then it jumps to 60+. Millennials think differently they are OK with 3 months of superficial chatting through text, they are OK with ghosting, etc...I think women like a road map with street signs aka labels. Tell me what are your intentions are, but guys in this day and age are "let's go with the flow." The lessons women of the older generations taught don't apply, they do, but they don't. But I still have hope. God bless and be safe.

  • @GennaRoseGiannetti
    @GennaRoseGiannetti Před 4 lety +6

    thank you! I needed this! I truly needed this. I was just JUST experiencing this before seeing this video. where I was asking my Bestfriend “what are we even doing?”. I’ve been going through this limbo situation where I don’t know what I’m doing, or what this guy and I are doing. He is my Bestfriend In my life right now but something confusing has been surfacing. I was just praying and asking God what is going on, what am I doing? Then this popped up so it was a pure God sent manifestation. I’m personally in a strange dynamic where this man and I are so close yet I’m still at the point of “I don’t know if I want you” but every time I stray, I feel the universe God forces me back. I never stoped my life. I have continued dating even through “we are NOT dating”. He has watched me date, he has heard all my stories. He is my true Bestfriend but there is a strong pull that is outside of us that no matter who I date, I find myself back here.

  • @1985tmc
    @1985tmc Před měsícem

    I’m so glad y’all shared this. God told me not to date as well. I appreciate you both learning to get on the same page. We talk about this in our family meetings. Like learning to have unity in the Lord who is Love. It reminds me, it doesn’t have to be a criticize the other person experience if you aren’t on the same page right away. Especially because God has to prepare each person’s heart as they are humble before Him. I also appreciate what Lexi said about moving on and living your life. For me, I found that it helps to focus on abiding in the calling God has for you. This is how God counseled me as I trust Him with my heart about love and wait on Him about marriage. It’s such a full life and it's important to understand what is in the control of a potential spouse and what is out of his or her control. God being with you and giving you peace is needed when going through discovering who your spouse is just like anything else. I will pray for y’all! Hopefully this will encourage someone to understand how to consider each other being prepared by God, not just themselves.

    Very relatable!!! To me that’s dating... thank God you ended up together - the guy I was praying with and sharing the word with singing with and going to events with secretly engaged someone and did not even have the strength or willingness to tell me he was now engaged, how I found out, he brought his fiancé to my church where his parents worship and he still didn’t introduce her as his fiancé to me but a friend...although to others he did. People need to clear 😌

      He was out of line with that & not being straight with you. He can only be with one person & shouldn't be emotionaly hanging on to & blocking you, while getting engaged. Who knows if it ends in marraige or happines, for what ever reasons he wasn't with one lady, one true 💘 love. He wasn't honest with her or you in this. He was not the one!!
      God has a man you can trust & respect just for you & your future ❤ together!!!
      Hope you don't let your heart be hurt or delay having real love because of this temporary emotional detour with him. A better Man is coming for you!

    • @elizabethc9843
      @elizabethc9843 Před 4 lety

      Alisha Dennis well said! I was hurt as I felt he was stringing me along but I made a decision to look after me and haven’t looked back. He’s sent a couple messages after the introduction, but that means nothing now so that chapter is now closed. His parents talk to me, call me and message me a lot and I try to keep like they just care nothing more😌 my future dating door is OPEN and have learnt a lot like Lexi here. Thanks Alisha your message strengthens me more to move on👌🏾

  • @From_The_Heart_With_Candace

    Dating is truly confusing for me now and days. But I am also newly divorced and was disconnected.

  • @YazBeee
    @YazBeee Před 3 lety +2

    Thank you both for sharing! I do believe that every relationship is different. Your journey to love and marriage is your own....meaning I don't see there being a right or wrong way! I bring this up to say that professing your feelings whenever you feel them should be completely normal so long as we aren't dropping the 'I love your's' every time a good looking woman or man comes along and does something nice for you. I can tell you that I personally held on to professing my feelings for someone because I thought he did not see me in that way and then when I finally got the courage and got tired of holding it in, I professed it, and then it was blown up in my face. Like Brian stated, he was already feeling the same way that Lexi felt but since they weren't committed he didn't confess to feeling that way. Whether you want to debate as to who was right or wrong.....know that things could have went differently. Lexi could have found someone else and left Brian with his unprofessed feelings.....which is the dilemma that I was in.
    Nonetheless, this is a great topic! I think you both did what was right for you at the time and look what God has done....created a beautiful couple and gorgeous family!

As a woman your feelings had a right to "get out the gate"... 😂 You didn't buy ah ring?! ALSO... It's not like there's this rule where you check in mentally/emotionally to see if both parties are in the same place at the same time...and not moving ahead of each other?! 🤷🏾‍♀️ You said what you said cuz that's how you felt!

    Love this video and I really needed to hear this advice today! As a Christian, I am just getting into serious dating, so I definitely needed some of these reminders. I love both your perspectives! 🌻

    Love y’all 😫♥️ Y’all give out so many tidbits to just sit and think about, which is why I always love watching your videos.
    I honestly feel like the dating scene is SO much different than 10 years ago and it’s harder in my opinion.
    I was taking to this guy and I honesty had to check myself and just walk away. I found myself always initiating the conversation. Yes he did respond, but it was like I had to nudge the conversation along almost all the time. For me I found myself too emotionally invested in “making it work” even though there was nothing to even work at.

    Thank you for your word That's exactly what I'm working on right now been with a gentleman ended up having two different levels I was more emotionally invested than he was he ended up breaking up because he could not commit but Brian that is so true what you said that men will go out of their way and do a lot of different things but then later on play like this isn't nothing much to me and I was trying to understand how can that be so thanks for reiterating that because that is a lot of time when a lot of men do the blood all the stops but then later on be like you're not my lady or put anyone to put any title to it so I'm working on myself loving rebranding myself and sticking up for myself and having self-worth about myself so thank you for reiterating what I'm going through right now all of what you talked about is what I'm going through right now but the end result is amending uploading myself being stronger and having self worth about myself so when the next one comes in I will have my boundaries ready my principal's in my standards to go thank you and God bless you both

    Such a great breakdown on dating experiences, perspectives, etc. Thankful to God that I'm in the space where I am content in my singleness, but these were awesome, practical tips.

    I don't comment often, even though I watch all your videos 😅 but, this I can't hold back, lol.
    I really love how transparent both of you're and how you embody Christ like standards🙌🏾. One thing I would say, I am learning a hard way on what it even means to date and be in a godly relationship. I didn't grow up seeing many people with godly relationship, but I knew in my heart that God wanted me to do things differently. I have been on this hiatus from going on dates with men in my church, just so I can start a fresh with God. It's great to hear you two did something similar. Anyways, this video really helps me to put things more into perspective when it comes to my worth. I love when Brian said, a woman shouldn't fall a little after being pursued, coz the woman seems easy to convince. I know I struggle with that. W/o making this too long🤣 I really appreciate you two a lot. Keep inspiring this generation and the ones to come.

    I related so mucho to this video. Thank you for sharing. I shared video to both my girls 22 and 15. Even though I told them this before. Both of you relay the message better than I. And sometimes it's better received coming from someone other than your mother 🙄

  • @anikawilson1937
    @anikawilson1937 Před 4 lety +23

    The reality is dudes need to get off their mental couch and have the conversation of where we're at in a relationship. I mean if you would've just said," I'm in this God season were I can't be with you, but after this season I'm calling you right after", than for me I would be straight. But all dudes have that girl they know arevthe one, but they're not ready, so they keep the girl in limbo.

  • @cheralewhite8253
    @cheralewhite8253 Před rokem

    Got to say this is my new fave couple. Glad they got together when they did too. As I think being so young gave them space to grow, question, reflect and progress together so beautifully.
    Totally loved what they said about words and actions, in this. As well, as each person having a whole self, before getting involved with someone I've seen too many friends, royally lose their mind over a dude. Quit friends, hobbies, have to run home early to be at his beck and call. Even worse, take all kinds of lip from the dude, but can't call him on things either. Like that is totally wild to me. If we can't talk about what is going on, you aren't my dude. If you have all these expectations and not pulling your weight, your not my dude. And to even dream thar you can snap your fingers and ill jump, you out ya mind and for damn sure, not my dude.
    But yea, ty for this video. Have to remind people sometimes, that no one is so amazing, that you forget your merit as well.

    The topic is very good, because I have seen in years of ministry, I have learned that a lot of believers are taught how to date and then get saved and have to learn how to do it God's way
    read about the couples in the Bible
    I agree that people say, "I love you" before they even know the person...

  • @josettebyrd7459

    Okay Brian I can see why she said it to you though. Cause of the way you were doing all those things. You both as you say was in your feels but not dating . It got the best of her I'm glad it did finally happen for you . The Best Couple to me. GOD BLESS

  • @ao906
    @ao906 Před 3 lety

    Agree with Brian on this. Would never tell a guy without dating if I felt that but would never let myself get there emotionally anyway. My second relationship, the guy was kind of a narcissist and egged me on to say it because apparently he knew I wanted to say it. I wasn't in love yet but I was falling. Anyway immediately after I said it, I regretted and I just got the feeling he relished in the fact that I said it first and he had nothing to say back. I wasn't upset he didn't but was mad at myself for saying something so important way before I wanted to because I felt pressured to and didn't want to hurt his "feelings".
