I know 26 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: Papa don't know anything about that publicly, and the timing 27 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: of all it's crazy. Yeah, I feel for her. I know. 28 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: It was the tape on the floor with the box 29 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: in the closet when she was loading the boxes in 30 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: the closet. In the tape where I just really had 31 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: a moment. I think where I started to cry was 32 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: or feel just like awful for her was when she 33 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: said I know, she's like, I'm not ready for people 34 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: to say yet that I'm stupid. Like, I get it, 35 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: you know, she's like to hear those comments. She's like 36 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: when she started crying about that, I was just like, oh, 37 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: I can't imagine the magnitude and volume of what she hears. 38 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

Well, that's the thing that's they're so 41 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: good at that. And I think if you go back 42 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 1: it's just they're they're so good at just saying well, 43 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen again, or like, ah, do you 44 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: know that we were trying for a third right before 45 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: I found out?

It's interesting, your picker is 105 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: the part of your brain, call it a muscle or 106 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: a tool if you want that.

But we've done 125 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: we've we've done um, you know, questions last two weeks. 126 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: So it's only you know. I'm there to ask him 127 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: some questions, but yeah, his whole book is like um. 128 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: One of the questions they asked him is why do 129 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: men tell women things just because women want to hear it? 130 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: People pleasers? I don't know that's a good question, he says, 131 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: because it's something he says, because they want short term gratification. 132 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: That's way better answer than yeah, I'm excited to talk 133 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: to Nick. Do we want short term gratification? No, but 134 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: they think we do and that's the problem. Okay, well 135 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: then we're gonna is it m ratification or is it there? 136 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: I feel like we're going to have to die. I'm curious. 137 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: Another one is thoughts on reaching out to a guy 138 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: who's been ghosting me for the last two weeks. You're 139 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: not allowed to answer this one. I just I would 140 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: just not reach out to the guy that's goes to 141 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: do for the last two weeks. I really like his answer, 142 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: you're ready to hear it? Yeah, so interesting to hear 143 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: a guy's perspective. If he wanted to be found, he 144 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't disappear. Yeah, it's just not so complicated. It's real. 145 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: And if they like a girl ghosting, I would say 146 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: there probably is more. There can be more to it, 147 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: but not, guys. I think the hard thing too with 148 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 1: that is like because of the born Jewish guy or whatever, 149 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: that like stings to know because I'm like, oh, I 150 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: wasn't and then you don't because all my stuff, I'm like, oh, 151 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: I wasn't chosen, I wasn't good enough. I wasn't and 152 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: I know it's not me, and it's like it was 153 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: It's all. He's an impossible human being. Well, yeah, that's 154 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: going to be one too. That's he's gonna be a 155 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: tough one for life. He never to herself, Oh I 156 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 1: forgot about I thought you said, great, other one you 157 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: got ghosted? Which one your life Jewish guy? You know? 158 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: He technically was like, I'll, you know, reach out to 159 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: you and to let you know in the next few weeks. 160 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: Like I thought that was someone else.

Yeah. 356 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: But that was like the only thing that has happened 357 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: in the last like I'd say, like two and a 358 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: half or some months that I've been like, is it 359 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: hot and cold because you're not like doating or hanging 360 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: on him? Um? Yeah, I mean again, I'm just I'm 361 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: very like, alright, I'm like, no, but I like this. 362 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: But I'm just wondering if he feels like it's hot 363 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: and cold because it's not like super all over him 364 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: or something. I have so many thoughts. First of all, 365 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: I do not and gets a flag personally, I don't. 366 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: I think you'll are getting to know each other right now, 367 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: and now you know that this is something I think 368 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: that he probably I'm gonna put words in his mouth. 369 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: He probably in his mind was like, Hey, if you 370 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: can get ready by four thirty, that would be awesome. 371 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: But if you're running behind, it's fine if we leave 372 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: by five, But when you're taking your time and your 373 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: face time and you're not, he sees that, and you're 374 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: not doing your best to get ready by the time, 375 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: in his mind, would be the best time to leave. 376 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 1: That would have been if that were me and his 377 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: That's what I would have met, and you would have 378 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 1: probably been annoyed, and I would why isn't she after Hey, Kramer, 379 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,479 Speaker 1: we got five minutes hey Kramer, like, I would you know, 380 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: say something, but you are still getting to know each other. 381 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 1: So he's over here going do I say something? Do 382 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: I not like you? After this episode he'll never say 383 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: latest can say that's what That's what I'm saying. Yeah, 384 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: you probably shouldn't say it in that way, like just 385 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: give the time, especially for you. You're going to be 386 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: on time. So I just think you are getting to 387 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: know each other now. Then when two people get defensive, 388 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: we know that. Then it's just like you can't even 389 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: they talk to each other. You're both being defensive. He's 390 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: regretting saying anything any guy does once they say something 391 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: and it becomes a fight. Well, he's so like noncombative. 392 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: He's like, and I'm like, and when I've told him, 393 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: I was just like, don't just say because then he's like, 394 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: it's fine. It's not fine, So tell me how you feel, like, 395 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: let's talk about it. So I'm a little I'm not 396 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: as I'm not as on board with cat. Okay, I'm 397 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: a little flaggy about it. Okay, yellow flag maybe only 398 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: because I feel because he is a self proclaimed fast faller, 399 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: I feel like the hot and cold coma that part 400 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: feels a little flaggy to me. It feels like if 401 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: he's not really being super loved on, doated on that 402 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: you're then it becomes that you're you're hot and cold. Actually, 403 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: it's just real life. What's happening is just real life. 404 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,959 Speaker 1: And like I will say, like in that situation too, 405 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: and even with him, I'm very comfortable around him, so 406 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: I don't feel like I have to put on right 407 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: like some like overly affectionate kind of but I'm at 408 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: I could be accused and have been accused of being 409 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 1: a little hot and cold as well. I think we 410 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 1: all can. That's just life. I just didn't like the 411 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: passive throw that's like because I'm like, that's that's the 412 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: piece where like I kind of like it's flagged in 413 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: my brain where I'm just like, but I also like 414 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: he was frustrated, like you said, like he's been watching me, 415 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: and I'm sure there was something and I don't mean 416 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: this in the bad way, but I'm sure there was 417 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: something passive in the way you said something. So I 418 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: just think that like that is like kind of the 419 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: natural way some people like that we talk sometimes. I 420 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: don't think it's as bad as but I was defensive 421 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: though when he said like, and I'm like, what do 422 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 1: you mean? But then it really doesn't feel like it 423 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: was about that anyways. It was about the hot and coldness, 424 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: which which is maybe which was his real issue. I 425 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: don't know, you've just been hot and cold? Well that's 426 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: just is like what I got thrown out. Say you're 427 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: frustrated about me getting ready versus like hot and cold 428 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: all day? Yeah, and just about that too, like say 429 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: it all. But it's how they because he said you're 430 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 1: hot and cold and they were mad that he said 431 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: I'm hating hot and cold. That does scare me too. 432 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: But he's a fast follower. He's kind of damned if 433 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: he does. Damned if he doesn't. I don't even know him, 434 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: but he's kind of damned if he does, damned if 435 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: he doesn't. If that he's feeling that way because you're 436 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: already defensive, so him talking about it then kind of 437 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 1: no matter how he says it, you're going to be 438 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: on the defensive anyway. I don't know. Let's ask let's 439 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: ask Nick. He's in the waiting room. Let's bring him on. 440 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: Nick Grand Nick.

I'm wondering 483 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: if he's just not feeling like you're making it a priority. 484 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: But anyway, so then he makes kind of a passive 485 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: aggressive comment that I just think you've been hot and 486 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: cold all day, but she's already you know, defensive, and 487 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 1: then you know there's all that. So it's like me, 488 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: so do you think that's a flag saying that I've 489 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: been like being frustrated and then throwing why just like 490 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: you've been like hot even so hot and cold today. 491 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: I'd like to also say this guy is an admitted 492 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: fast faller in relationships. He loves a good like instick. 493 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: He acknowledged yes, yes, yes, and he is trying hard 494 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: not to do that. And I've acknowledged that I'm a 495 00:28:55,560 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: fast fall archer. So we are literally like like baby baby, baby, 496 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: baby baby steps seeing that like because I'm like, I'm 497 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: not gonna relationship until And to be clear, how many 498 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: dates have you been on in person? Well? The hard 499 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: so like we we we texted for like two weeks 500 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: every day, all day whatever on the phone FaceTime, and 501 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: then we had like five dates and then we then 502 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: FaceTime texted for two weeks straight again because he was gone, 503 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: and then that was our next kind of hang sash 504 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: like that, like weekend dish. Yeah, it sounds like you 505 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: both are falling trapped to what you've already acknowledged that 506 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: you're both guilty of. Um, So there's that. I would 507 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: say you're probably both justified for considering if the other 508 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: person is showing these red flags right, Like, it sounds 509 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: like this is just it's these are it's it's a 510 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: lack of good communication and heightened expectation and unfair expectations 511 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: of both of you, and you're both kind of playing 512 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: games in a sense, right, Like he could have said, 513 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: you know, also like you know the four thirty five o'clock, Yeah, 514 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: what is that's very confusing? Is it four thirty or five? Now? 515 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: Everyone like and and being late is a is a 516 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: huge pet peeve of mine, right, not being late, but 517 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 1: like not just saying not get not giving me the 518 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: heads up before running late, Like the people who are 519 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: just like I'm on my way and they're like not 520 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: even in the shower, right, But like that if there's 521 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: a spectrum of like people's personal preferences here of what 522 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: annoys people, what doesn't annoy people, And he just assumed 523 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: that saying four thirty five meant like a that you're 524 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: someone who is on time all the time, and like, well, yeah, 525 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: are you giving me options? Do you want me to 526 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: be ready at four thirty or five? That's a thirty 527 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: minute difference. Well, I don't know everything about women. I 528 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: do know that like getting ready takes sometimes for some 529 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: people a lot, and thirty minutes could be critical between 530 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: Like listen, if if I tell you four thirty and 531 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: you show up at five, you're thirty minutes late. But 532 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: but if if if you told me five, I'm like, 533 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: it's also worth noting. At some point Janna's facetiming her 534 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: mom during this period that she's also I mean, but 535 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: I heard five. That's besides the point she's in the 536 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: house watching her Why is the house? Well, Nick, he's 537 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: a fast follower. No, no, no, no, no, no. We 538 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: were still. We were a bit of information that I 539 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: did not give. You know, we were we went on 540 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: a little getaway together. All right, So you're already playing house. 541 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: No it wasn't. It was a no, it's not playing house, 542 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: playing house. I don't mean like you're moving in together. 543 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: He wasn't at my house. I wasn't at his house. 544 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: We went, Yeah, I think at the end of the day, 545 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: you guys have like you said, FaceTime every day for 546 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: two weeks, you had multiple dates, then he was out 547 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: of town, and then you face time again, and like 548 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: I've been like, those are fun and they're great because 549 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: you can connect and like when you're forced to like 550 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: face time and talk, you're forced to actually have conversations, 551 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: which in person people are often are bad at doing 552 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: because you know, it's awkward. Let's make out things like that, 553 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: and so that can maximize an intensity and a relationship, 554 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: and that can maximize chemistry in a relationship. But it 555 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: still doesn't mean that you guys know each other. You 556 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: don't know, like your little idedeo syncrencies of like what 557 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: annoys you guys, or what what triggers you guys? You know, 558 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: And all of a sudden he's watching you get ready 559 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: face time with your mom, and he's thinking like and 560 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 1: last girlfriend did this and things like that, and then 561 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: all of a sudden he projects his frustrations of past 562 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: relationships onto you. You do the same thing where you're 563 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: just like, how about you just like give me a 564 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: straight answer and and and so I think you guys, 565 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: it sounds like it's good for you for acknowledging that 566 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: you're both fast followers. But I don't think you know, 567 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: I don't think you guys are hold. I don't think 568 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: you're making it easy on each other to not fall fast. 569 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: It's like what you're doing is saying you're just like, hey, 570 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: I have this really bad habit, and you're like, I 571 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: have this bad habit too.

You know, you have 676 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: to be willing to do that, because I have to. 677 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,359 Speaker 1: I have to be willing to, you know, if I'm 678 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 1: if I'm in my thoughts, to pay attention of my 679 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 1: surroundings and not be so aloof and be present, you know, 680 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 1: and things like that.

That's a good one. I 754 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,400 Speaker 1: like that a lot. Um One of the questions in 755 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: your book, because what I was telling the girls and 756 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,959 Speaker 1: the listeners is, um, this this book is great because 757 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 1: there's a lot of questions, and you do a lot 758 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 1: of questions and answer on your Instagram and we were 759 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 1: going through some of them, and the girls actually wanted 760 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,880 Speaker 1: to debate this one with you because he's like great, great. 761 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,280 Speaker 1: So the question was why do men tell women things 762 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 1: just because women want to hear it? And you said, 763 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 1: because they want short term gratification, and the girls want 764 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 1: to debate that with you and go, well, I'm just curious, 765 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,319 Speaker 1: is that for the guys short term gratification or the 766 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 1: girls short term gratification or both? I mean that particular 767 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,879 Speaker 1: part of the book is obviously the Q and as 768 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,279 Speaker 1: I've done over the years that are like at the 769 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,359 Speaker 1: end of every chapter, and so, um, you know, that 770 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 1: question was probably probably my guesses came from like a 771 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 1: data you know, dealing with you know, boys and situation ships, 772 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,439 Speaker 1: because I honestly think you know, as a as a 773 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,359 Speaker 1: as a heterosexual male who's often like you know, has 774 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,400 Speaker 1: an audience of women, Like I really think most of 775 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 1: the things I talked about are just they're not like 776 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,919 Speaker 1: gender based like people to your point, people do that, right, 777 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: And so she was asking from the perspective as a 778 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,279 Speaker 1: woman dating men, and yeah, I think we often will 779 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,400 Speaker 1: say things that we don't really mean, but in the 780 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,280 Speaker 1: moment it gets us what we want. And the scary 781 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: part about that is we're just very convincing of ourselves. 782 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 1: So when we tell people we BELLI, they believe us. 783 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,720 Speaker 1: You know. It's you know, it's like when our exes 784 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,880 Speaker 1: come back, you know, and we're just like, you know, 785 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,320 Speaker 1: and unless there's exceptions every rule. I think that's awesome 786 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,360 Speaker 1: that you and your partner took some time apart and 787 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,400 Speaker 1: now you have a great marriage, you know. But lots 788 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 1: of times in relationships where people break up and their 789 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,320 Speaker 1: exes come back, you're like, well, why are you back? 790 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,400 Speaker 1: Just like, well, I had to make a mistake and 791 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 1: I realized how special you were, and and a lot 792 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,400 Speaker 1: of times, you know, and and they sound so convincing, 793 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,520 Speaker 1: and then you get back together and three months go 794 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 1: by and you haven't done any work, you haven't asked 795 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 1: the questions. You were just so excited that they're back 796 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,680 Speaker 1: because you spent three months is to big being sad 797 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,680 Speaker 1: about it. And the truth is like they just like 798 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,400 Speaker 1: they broke up with you thinking well, you know what, 799 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 1: there's something missing here. I could do better, not like 800 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:41,879 Speaker 1: not better than you, but they just they thought something 801 00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,319 Speaker 1: might be more fulfilling. So they started dating. They went 802 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:45,560 Speaker 1: out there they got on the dating apps. All of 803 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:49,239 Speaker 1: the sudden, they're like this dating seems sucks, you know, 804 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:52,319 Speaker 1: and and all of a sudden, and no one wants 805 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,800 Speaker 1: to convince themselves. No one wants to think that they settled. 806 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 1: They would you know, we're not good at admitting we're wrong, 807 00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,239 Speaker 1: but you know, when we're really good admitting we're wrong 808 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,520 Speaker 1: when we when the alternative is to think that we 809 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 1: settled or or you know. So it's like when you know, what, 810 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,919 Speaker 1: I did make a mistake, because I would rather tell 811 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,360 Speaker 1: my ego I made a mistake and be like, you 812 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,879 Speaker 1: know what, honestly, like it's like I thought I could 813 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 1: do better, but like this is better than nothing, you know, 814 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 1: Like we don't want a thing that you know, and 815 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:21,960 Speaker 1: so we can just be so convincing of ourselves. And 816 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,959 Speaker 1: so yeah, I think that's why, especially early in dating 817 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 1: situations where we we hear something from someone that sounds 818 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:31,560 Speaker 1: really good and the really validates us, especially when a 819 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,799 Speaker 1: stranger validates us, I think it's really important to ask why. 820 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: You know, we're always we're so quick to be like, 821 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 1: you know, when people don't want to date us anymore 822 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,759 Speaker 1: or hurt us, we were like why, But why why, why? 823 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:46,800 Speaker 1: Why does this want to end? And that's when we 824 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,400 Speaker 1: should accept it. But like when when strangers validated us, 825 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 1: we're just like, yeah, I know I am, Yeah, I 826 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,520 Speaker 1: love me too. Yeah yeah, like honestly, like thank you. 827 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,400 Speaker 1: I I thought I looked good too, you know. And 828 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,799 Speaker 1: so I think it's just really important to you know, 829 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 1: not to be a buzz killer in a moment, but 830 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,360 Speaker 1: just say, oh, it's thank you for saying that. That 831 00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 1: means a lot. But like why do you feel that 832 00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:09,000 Speaker 1: way about? You know, like what you know? And and 833 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,359 Speaker 1: get people to explain their feelings they claim to have, 834 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,840 Speaker 1: because it's easy to stay to feeling it's much harder 835 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: to articulate what And I think early in dating we 836 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,360 Speaker 1: can protect ourselves by asking the people who who state 837 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 1: these kind of big proclamations of love or like to 838 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,719 Speaker 1: just explain how they feel. And I think you can 839 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,239 Speaker 1: get a lot more clarity about someone's true intentions when 840 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,040 Speaker 1: you start doing that. I also like how you go 841 00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 1: through um like training the pickers, where it's like five 842 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,400 Speaker 1: hallmarks of a player. They have a history of cheating, 843 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 1: lots of people warning about them, they gas like you, 844 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 1: they love bomb you, and then you're going to go 845 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 1: into detail, but I'm like, yep, check, check, check, tringeck 846 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:49,400 Speaker 1: of all was like so many check I gotta go. Um, 847 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 1: But I'm curious, like when you because if you're a picker, 848 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 1: obviously you've had um relationships, public relationships, and what was 849 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,799 Speaker 1: different with Natalie that you realized from the other women 850 00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 1: you dated. I mean, there's a lot of different things, 851 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:11,000 Speaker 1: but I think more than anything, um, she she truly 852 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,840 Speaker 1: has a true sense of self and self worth and 853 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,439 Speaker 1: who she is. And you know, when we met, we met, 854 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,800 Speaker 1: you know, I uh, she was living across the country. 855 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,719 Speaker 1: It was a long distance relationship. I had a lot 856 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 1: of you know, questions about our compatibility. I was like, 857 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 1: you know, you're you're beautiful, and you're fun and and 858 00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,359 Speaker 1: nice and smart, but like, I don't know, And again 859 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,160 Speaker 1: I would I've been single for a long time, so 860 00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:34,799 Speaker 1: I think I had a lot of cold feet. But 861 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,520 Speaker 1: the more I got to know her, the more she 862 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,440 Speaker 1: was just always very clear with how she was feeling. 863 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,759 Speaker 1: Um And a lot of times people will say, well 864 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 1: what are we and and you know, I felt like 865 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 1: I felt resistant to a relationship and I knew that, 866 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:54,759 Speaker 1: you know, we were both kind of catching feelings, and 867 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,200 Speaker 1: she was open to it. And instead of doing the 868 00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,319 Speaker 1: typical well what are we you know, what should we do? 869 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:04,279 Speaker 1: What are you thinking? She was just more Okay, I 870 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:05,759 Speaker 1: want to tell you how I am feeling. I want 871 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,880 Speaker 1: to tell you why. I just I just want you 872 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,080 Speaker 1: to listen and and and to me, I found that 873 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,640 Speaker 1: to be an incredibly attractive quality that was really carried 874 00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:17,880 Speaker 1: into our relationship because she's such a good communicator about 875 00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,399 Speaker 1: how she is feeling. You know, we can it's so 876 00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,920 Speaker 1: easy for us to be passive aggressive, and because like 877 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,600 Speaker 1: those conversations can be awkward to have even with the 878 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,239 Speaker 1: people we say we love the most, and so she 879 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,840 Speaker 1: has always just been able to make it very clear. 880 00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:36,719 Speaker 1: She's always communicated with me her self worth in a 881 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,760 Speaker 1: way that was easy for me to receive that didn't 882 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,400 Speaker 1: sound cocky or and it wasn't passive aggressive. It was 883 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,759 Speaker 1: just this is what I expect from you, this is 884 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:47,319 Speaker 1: what I want, this is how I feel about you. 885 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,520 Speaker 1: And I'm not afraid to say that because I'm confident 886 00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:51,880 Speaker 1: in my feelings and I feel like that has carried 887 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,640 Speaker 1: over to us having really good trust and communication with 888 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:58,880 Speaker 1: you know, any struggles or concerns we have, and uh, 889 00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 1: that's something that I haven't really had in the past. 890 00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:04,799 Speaker 1: I felt like a sense of competing with people, not 891 00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:08,240 Speaker 1: necessarily like we're both trying to win, but like there's 892 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,600 Speaker 1: we would trigger insecurities with each other. Instead of communicating 893 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,560 Speaker 1: about that, we would project that by you know, maybe 894 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 1: kind of passively aggressively hurting their feelings of these little 895 00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:19,480 Speaker 1: digs and things like that. And I think I've been 896 00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,759 Speaker 1: guilty of that. People I've dated have been guilty of 897 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,200 Speaker 1: that with me, And you know, I think with Nally, 898 00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,200 Speaker 1: a big reason why I have the opposite is her 899 00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:43,239 Speaker 1: confidence and her belief in her self worth. Following you 900 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,440 Speaker 1: anytime you guys ever go somewhere, I'm always thinking it's 901 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,479 Speaker 1: going to be an engagement photo.

I think we're really just enjoying her. So yeah, 911 00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,360 Speaker 1: I mean again when she does a great job of 912 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:23,720 Speaker 1: making me, make it easy for me to be successful.

Let's think about right now, 936 00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:44,680 Speaker 1: how much Well, I guess we'll find out. Okay. I 937 00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,479 Speaker 1: have a question, a dating question. If a guy goes 938 00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:51,200 Speaker 1: see you, let's say, let's just hypothetically say you were 939 00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,759 Speaker 1: hanging out for three or so months. It was you know, 940 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,960 Speaker 1: he was still on dating apps, so was I, um, 941 00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 1: but had some lovely time spent together, and the person 942 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,759 Speaker 1: just straight up like ghosts, you does the person come 943 00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:10,879 Speaker 1: Do you think that person comes back around? Or now 944 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:13,880 Speaker 1: are they gone? Why do you want? That's what doesn't say. 945 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 1: The bigger question is why you just I'm not saying 946 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:22,680 Speaker 1: it's me. I'm just saying hypothetically, like ghosts come back. 947 00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:27,280 Speaker 1: Of course they always come back from the dead. Yeah, 948 00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 1: they don't. And what do you what do you tell 949 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,319 Speaker 1: to the person when the ghoster comes back? Because you 950 00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:34,000 Speaker 1: know that you probably shouldn't be with the Ghoster god. 951 00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,239 Speaker 1: Well kind of like I talked about earlier about why 952 00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,720 Speaker 1: people come back in general, you know, like any anyone 953 00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,279 Speaker 1: who goes for any reason, and I listen, everyone has 954 00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:45,319 Speaker 1: their reasons for certain things. But like, I'm sorry, Like 955 00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:50,719 Speaker 1: you're a bad communicator. You know, under under stressful situations, 956 00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,640 Speaker 1: you you choose the easy way out, which is not 957 00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:57,640 Speaker 1: to communicate at all. And I don't like you don't 958 00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:01,160 Speaker 1: need me or any other person talks about relationships, like 959 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:04,279 Speaker 1: everyone knows that the number one most important thing for 960 00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:08,960 Speaker 1: a successful relationship is good communication. So you are, you 961 00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:13,480 Speaker 1: are investing in people who are proving more than like 962 00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:15,960 Speaker 1: you know nothing about these people sometimes and then they 963 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,080 Speaker 1: ghost to you and you're like so willing to take 964 00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:19,759 Speaker 1: them back. And the only reason really take them back 965 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,719 Speaker 1: is because them ghost to you makes you feel less. 966 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,320 Speaker 1: Then it makes you feel like a loser. You judge 967 00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:27,480 Speaker 1: yourself like how could you ghost me? Like it's like 968 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,520 Speaker 1: how could you cheat on me? Like we we make 969 00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:33,960 Speaker 1: their actions a reflection of our self worth, which is terrible, 970 00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:37,040 Speaker 1: but like you know that's our egos. And if whoever 971 00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:41,120 Speaker 1: this person is, I suspect and I say this with 972 00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,040 Speaker 1: love because I also have a massive ego. I would 973 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:47,040 Speaker 1: suspect this person might have just a fairly inflated sense 974 00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:52,600 Speaker 1: of self uh. And and that ego has allowed this 975 00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:57,000 Speaker 1: person to do all these amazing things and probably take 976 00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:00,319 Speaker 1: some risks and and have careers that people dream to have. 977 00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,200 Speaker 1: But we have to be able to like check ourselves 978 00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:07,440 Speaker 1: and remember that like when people wrong us, that's because 979 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,080 Speaker 1: they chose to wrong us with there their choices and 980 00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,319 Speaker 1: and and we can't let our egos make it our 981 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,200 Speaker 1: problem and our self worth. And then we spend all 982 00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,719 Speaker 1: this time trying to convince someone who's showing us how 983 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:22,560 Speaker 1: unworthy they are of us all these opportunities to come back, 984 00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,759 Speaker 1: because all we want is their validation. So would you 985 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,560 Speaker 1: say the biggest red flag then in a in in 986 00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:32,440 Speaker 1: dating or a man is why are you lefting it? Well, 987 00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:38,839 Speaker 1: I'm busy making my nick for president shirts. But the 988 00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,000 Speaker 1: biggest red flag in dating? Would you say someone that 989 00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:46,080 Speaker 1: isn't good at communicating? Uh? I mean sure, yeah, if 990 00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,759 Speaker 1: you can, if you're dating someone and you know, for 991 00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,960 Speaker 1: whatever reason, they're a bad communicator, or if yeah, I 992 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:58,279 Speaker 1: don't know, see if the latest you can work on that? 993 00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:06,000 Speaker 1: Kidding or reactive like I would you know, how do 994 00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,280 Speaker 1: also how do people react to stress? Which is interesting 995 00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,560 Speaker 1: going back to how this whole conversation started. I think 996 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:14,160 Speaker 1: this this can be an opportunity for you in this person, Janna, 997 00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,080 Speaker 1: because what you are is you guys are testing one's 998 00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,680 Speaker 1: ability to deal with some sort of conflict. It's too 999 00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,200 Speaker 1: early to deal with this type of conflict. But maybe 1000 00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:26,160 Speaker 1: maybe you go to him and say, listen, um, I 1001 00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:28,640 Speaker 1: know that was really important to you, so like I'm 1002 00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:33,000 Speaker 1: sorry that I wasn't ready and that because like I 1003 00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:34,520 Speaker 1: know that was important to you, and I don't want 1004 00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:37,000 Speaker 1: you to feel like you're important. Things are important to me. 1005 00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,799 Speaker 1: It would help me in the future that if if 1006 00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,800 Speaker 1: something is really a priority, just give me one time, 1007 00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,560 Speaker 1: and I promise you I will be ready by that time. 1008 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,160 Speaker 1: If you give me two times, I'm telling you what 1009 00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to receive it. I'm going to receive it 1010 00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:57,520 Speaker 1: by saying like, yeah, I'm on time, I'm not early. 1011 00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,200 Speaker 1: So like, if you want me to be early, then 1012 00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,680 Speaker 1: give me a different time, give me give me that 1013 00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:07,279 Speaker 1: communicate that. See how he responds to that, because like 1014 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,680 Speaker 1: the only real response to that would be like he 1015 00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:13,960 Speaker 1: should he should also say, you know what, You're right, 1016 00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,319 Speaker 1: I made that confusing. I am sorry. So that's what 1017 00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:20,640 Speaker 1: he did, and I loved that. That's handsome because I'm 1018 00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,200 Speaker 1: the ride there. He's like, I was kind of quiet, 1019 00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,040 Speaker 1: and he goes, can we talk? I need a minute 1020 00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:27,319 Speaker 1: because I felt like my defense and I know when 1021 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,960 Speaker 1: I'm defensive, I shouldn't communicate, and so then once I 1022 00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:34,080 Speaker 1: was like okay, and then he did say, like, you know, 1023 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:37,280 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I could see how that was confusing, and 1024 00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,760 Speaker 1: you know, he's like, I just was, you know, really 1025 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,439 Speaker 1: like blah blah blah. So he like he definitely owned 1026 00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:44,600 Speaker 1: his part and then which made me then feel comfortable 1027 00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:46,399 Speaker 1: to go and you know, I'm sorry. I was very 1028 00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,080 Speaker 1: defensive back because I got triggered with like, you know, 1029 00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,480 Speaker 1: feeling rushed or whatever from blah blah blah. So I 1030 00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,799 Speaker 1: think you're right. Like it's almost like that was a 1031 00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,880 Speaker 1: good little tester to see how we deal with potential 1032 00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:02,520 Speaker 1: conflict and in future conversations, because I mean, other than communication, 1033 00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,440 Speaker 1: I think there's no better indicator than people's ability to 1034 00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,840 Speaker 1: be successful is like how do they deal with conflict? 1035 00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:12,239 Speaker 1: Because it just if you and I've been there, if 1036 00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,399 Speaker 1: if you're in a relationship with someone, no matter how 1037 00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:18,719 Speaker 1: much fun they are, how much chemistry you have, when 1038 00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,239 Speaker 1: it gets bad, it's bad and you guys can't get 1039 00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,520 Speaker 1: on the same page and it takes like a freaking 1040 00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:26,960 Speaker 1: week to get over anything Like this is not sustainable, 1041 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,960 Speaker 1: you know, Like it just wears you down, you know, 1042 00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,279 Speaker 1: and it just it won't matter how fun it is 1043 00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:37,719 Speaker 1: when it's good. So um, you know, that's why. Like, 1044 00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:40,319 Speaker 1: that's why I think people should be less resistant to 1045 00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:45,480 Speaker 1: communicating their frustrations and less resistant to conflict early on 1046 00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:47,200 Speaker 1: or just hearing something you don't want to hear it, 1047 00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:51,200 Speaker 1: because all you are is figuring out fairly early, like 1048 00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,880 Speaker 1: how you can work through issues with someone, because if 1049 00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,719 Speaker 1: you can't do that, like it doesn't matter. Like the 1050 00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,760 Speaker 1: honeymoon foods phases great, But the longer the honeymoon phases 1051 00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,680 Speaker 1: phase last without any conflict, you still have a lot 1052 00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,400 Speaker 1: to learn, you know. Until you have that first fight, 1053 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:09,480 Speaker 1: whatever that fight is, and and and figure out is 1054 00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:11,680 Speaker 1: this someone I can work through issues for? Then you 1055 00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,520 Speaker 1: still don't really know them, you know. So just be 1056 00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:17,280 Speaker 1: careful how much you're willing to promise yourself and what 1057 00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:20,600 Speaker 1: feelings you're willing to express to someone before you truly 1058 00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,760 Speaker 1: know someone. And I'm not saying pick a fight early on, 1059 00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:34,680 Speaker 1: but just you and listen. We want to romanticize things 1060 00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:36,600 Speaker 1: all the time. And it's just like I feel like 1061 00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:38,880 Speaker 1: I've known you and like, you know, as if you're 1062 00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,240 Speaker 1: someone I used to make this mistake, right. I thought 1063 00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:44,840 Speaker 1: I was gonna be married with kids at and then 1064 00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:46,800 Speaker 1: I wasn't. And then I was in a relationship at 1065 00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,200 Speaker 1: twenty seven that failed, So then I'm two years behind 1066 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,280 Speaker 1: that plan. Then you know, I was in another relationship 1067 00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:52,800 Speaker 1: that failed before I was thirty, and then I was 1068 00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:55,280 Speaker 1: five years behind that plan, and I started like comparing 1069 00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:58,880 Speaker 1: all my success or failures of this artificial deadline. So 1070 00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,360 Speaker 1: instead of like wanting to get to know someone and 1071 00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:03,919 Speaker 1: trying to figure out if we're really compatible, I would 1072 00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:07,240 Speaker 1: just be like, nah, we're in love, right. I didn't 1073 00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,200 Speaker 1: want to like wait, I didn't want to wait at 1074 00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:12,480 Speaker 1: the time to be like, you know, no, I love you, 1075 00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:14,720 Speaker 1: I have feelings of love for you. I love everything 1076 00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:17,760 Speaker 1: I know so far, but like you know, and I 1077 00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,560 Speaker 1: know what we'll see you know, I you know, I 1078 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:24,480 Speaker 1: truly believe that every relationship you have to wake up 1079 00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:27,320 Speaker 1: every day and choose to be in a relationship, you know, 1080 00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,760 Speaker 1: because I didn't, I think, and I don't believe in fit. 1081 00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:32,960 Speaker 1: I believe in that. But like that takes work, and 1082 00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:35,120 Speaker 1: the things are going to change, and you're gonna get stressed. 1083 00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:37,040 Speaker 1: They're gonna get stressed. You're gonna have bad days, you 1084 00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:39,919 Speaker 1: might have bad weeks. You know, we're and it's really 1085 00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,080 Speaker 1: easy to go back on Ryan and see what's prettier 1086 00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,080 Speaker 1: and shinier, But you're gonna have the same issues with 1087 00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:47,080 Speaker 1: the same shinier person, you know. You know, there's that 1088 00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:52,040 Speaker 1: whole section of my book called Everyone's annoying. Yeah they are. 1089 00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,720 Speaker 1: And if you're someone Jenna for someone who in you too, 1090 00:58:56,760 --> 00:59:02,000 Speaker 1: if you met your you fall fast. Don't forget to 1091 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:05,680 Speaker 1: remind yourself just how you know, gross men can be, 1092 00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:09,439 Speaker 1: you know, like or or just how obnoxious people can be, 1093 00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,480 Speaker 1: you know, and so like eventually you're going to find 1094 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:15,600 Speaker 1: out that they like leave every cabinet door open, or 1095 00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,400 Speaker 1: that they sometimes put like you know, cereal in the 1096 00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:20,640 Speaker 1: fridge because I'm not paying attention, and that can be 1097 00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:24,439 Speaker 1: really annoying sometimes. And so when you have the rose 1098 00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:27,120 Speaker 1: color glasses on, just don't be afraid to know that. Like, 1099 00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:29,960 Speaker 1: I gotta figure out what annoys me about you, and 1100 00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:31,920 Speaker 1: I gotta figure out if I can love that.

So there's 1132 01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:17,200 Speaker 1: the couple has an eighteen year age difference. Um, Natalie 1133 01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:21,040 Speaker 1: is uh three? Can I see her? But she's I 1134 01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:26,760 Speaker 1: mean it sounds like she's way you know, she's cute, stunning. Yeah, um, 1135 01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:29,480 Speaker 1: but I mean I know that probably comes up, but 1136 01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:31,560 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, I think if I don't really 1137 01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:33,280 Speaker 1: think that much matters. To be honest, he just just 1138 01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:37,080 Speaker 1: a number. I've hated older and they were, but communicates 1139 01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:40,760 Speaker 1: really well. Yeah. I like I feel like probably that 1140 01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:44,640 Speaker 1: generation like her three. It's it's like the middies that 1141 01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:48,080 Speaker 1: are like where I would say like actually because they 1142 01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:50,360 Speaker 1: they're all they're all in the therapy and the talk 1143 01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:53,240 Speaker 1: and that like communicating and telling their feelings. I feel 1144 01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:56,280 Speaker 1: like the ones maybe between like and something maybe I 1145 01:01:56,320 --> 01:02:14,400 Speaker 1: don't know, ye on this episode all the way down. Okay, well, ladies, 1146 01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:17,120 Speaker 1: that was that was a fun episode. And I really 1147 01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:20,200 Speaker 1: like Nick. What a sweet man. On another day, and 1148 01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:23,360 Speaker 1: I guess we'll just continue on putting the flags on 1149 01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:26,280 Speaker 1: the on the white board and and um bringing it 1150 01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:28,000 Speaker 1: to the table. And I just want to go to 1151 01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:29,560 Speaker 1: the record. I want to go on the record because 1152 01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:31,800 Speaker 1: I really do like this guy. And I know he'll listen, 1153 01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:33,520 Speaker 1: and if he does listen, I just want him to 1154 01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:35,280 Speaker 1: know that I do really like him. I was the 1155 01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:37,280 Speaker 1: one that defended him. I'm just saying, well, I'm not 1156 01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:41,000 Speaker 1: defending him, but I do like that's just that situation. Okay, okay, 1157 01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:41,680 Speaker 1: all right, guys,
