<v Speaker 1>I don't usually watch the show nothing, not once, Not

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:35.839

<v Speaker 1>Bachelor in Volcano, whenever all of them have been. I

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:41.520
<v Speaker 1>don't even remember. But I have not watched anything. Can

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>I ask a question? Back in two thousand seven, I

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>did a short stint on a reality TV show called

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>road Rules. You on road Rules, and after that very

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 1>short career with reality TV, I am all set. You

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 1>don't watch any reality I really don't. Kardashians once in

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>a while, but that's really it. Kardashians are so good, obsessed,

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:21.399
<v Speaker 1>they're so good. Bible Bible um screaming um. Uh. We're

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna get so much hate for like the liking the Kardashians.

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:30.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm just getting out. Have you? Are you up? Today

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:35.320
<v Speaker 1>on the did you not did you watch the first episode? Yeah? So,

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>did you not just like feel for Chloe and she's

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>so skinny? Yes, Yeah, I feel so bad for her.

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 1>I feel like she, like I know where is so strong,

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>but to go through all of that twice. I know

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Papa don't know anything about that publicly, and the timing

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>of all it's crazy. Yeah, I feel for her. I know.

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 1>It was the tape on the floor with the box

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 1>in the closet when she was loading the boxes in

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 1>the closet. In the tape where I just really had

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 1>a moment. I think where I started to cry was

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>or feel just like awful for her was when she

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>said I know, she's like, I'm not ready for people

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>to say yet that I'm stupid. Like, I get it,

0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, she's like to hear those comments. She's like

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>when she started crying about that, I was just like, oh,

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:30.360
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine the magnitude and volume of what she hears.

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. I just think that she was completely duped.

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that he was so good, like so many

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.480
<v Speaker 1>of them are. Well, that's the thing that's they're so

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:41.800
<v Speaker 1>good at that. And I think if you go back

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.519
<v Speaker 1>it's just they're they're so good at just saying well,

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:48.240
<v Speaker 1>it's not gonna happen again, or like, ah, do you

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 1>know that we were trying for a third right before

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>I found out? I think, so, yeah, we were going

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:57.639
<v Speaker 1>to have a third, Like we even had a meeting

0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 1>with an IVF doctor. Wow. But it's I think they

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>do that just like with Tristan, I think because it's

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:07.360
<v Speaker 1>like they wanted, they want they because they know you

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.800
<v Speaker 1>want Chris said, she goes. I think she wanted to

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>keep to keep her, And that happened too with you

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 1>know Jason. I mean, the same situation. So it's like, yeah,

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's when I think back to that, I

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>was like, holy crap, Yeah, I mean we yeah, but um, Nick,

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 1>though he has a new book out, let's not tell

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:31.239
<v Speaker 1>him I've never seen him before. You just did. But

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.200
<v Speaker 1>it's great. Well I don't want him to feel that way. Yes,

0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I always find I think that you know, um, that's okay,

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>And we don't all watch the same things and it's

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 1>not I'm sure. What I think he's kind of known

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 1>for now is his podcast. He's the host of The

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Vile Vile Files Um and he's got a new book

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 1>out called Don't Text your ex Happy Birthday. I can

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>get on board with that. I have a question, have

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>you guys ever texted your ex happy birthday? Not? Well,

0:03:56.320 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm in a relationship with someone else, so yes, but

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:05.120
<v Speaker 1>not when you're in a relationship. Yeah, okay, I can't.

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I remember wanting to, but I can't remember if I

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 1>actually did. I probably didn't. It worse though, when you do,

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 1>When you don't get that like a happy birthday, that feeling,

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:19.719
<v Speaker 1>you're just setting yourself up. You know, when you do it,

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 1>you're setting yourself up for a world of heartbreak. But

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 1>so I'm gonna go with you have yesterday. No, uh no,

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:36.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm I think after my stint of the thing that

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:41.159
<v Speaker 1>happened this summer with UM kind of going above with

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 1>birthday stuff. Oh, I don't know. I just I'm kind

0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 1>of like, you know what? Yeah, no, Um. Can you

0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 1>believe I haven't heard from him in two and a

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:58.640
<v Speaker 1>half on this answer, yes, like at all. Not The

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 1>last thing I heard from this guy it was a

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:04.680
<v Speaker 1>black heart was the conversation was I will let's we'll

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.720
<v Speaker 1>set up dates to see each other, And the next

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>he's like, I'll know in the next few weeks a

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>time to get back together. And then I had sent

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 1>like a picture like a week later, and then I

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 1>got like the black Heart but nothing. This was after

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 1>like the conversation, right, this was um you know, like

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.320
<v Speaker 1>during that conversation was like I'll yeah, He's like, I'll

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.800
<v Speaker 1>want to like get together and he's like, um, I'll

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 1>let you know in the next few weeks, like like

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 1>a time to like I'm like and not I'm not

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>back on the app. Yeah, yeah, he's getting together with someone.

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 1>We never left the app. I don't think you forgot

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 1>all the reasons. So it's funny because one of the

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:48.279
<v Speaker 1>things in next book is like kind of talking about

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:52.280
<v Speaker 1>the player and there, Um, what was it? Where is

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 1>it that? Oh, well, it's one of the things I

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 1>want to talk to about training our pickers. He goes, Yes,

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:00.719
<v Speaker 1>dating is hard, and they're so many things about it

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:02.599
<v Speaker 1>that are beyond our control, which is why it makes

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 1>it so important to control what we can Our choices,

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 1>our decisions are communication and the dates we go on

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 1>and the people we agree to go on them with.

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>That means refining our pickers. It's interesting, your picker is

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the part of your brain, call it a muscle or

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.040
<v Speaker 1>a tool if you want that. You used to evaluate

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:21.840
<v Speaker 1>who we are going to date, who we are going

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:26.760
<v Speaker 1>to invest more time in. Have you been stretching that picker? Well, yeah,

0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, we've we talked about it. We did not

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:34.840
<v Speaker 1>have a good oh um. But no, it's pretty cool

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:38.040
<v Speaker 1>because his book like has all these different questions about dating,

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 1>love and sex, and um, like yeah, there's I'm I'm

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 1>excited to to chat with him about that. And did

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:52.159
<v Speaker 1>Nick Nick was a bachelor. He was on he was

0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.279
<v Speaker 1>on two seasons of the Bachelorette. He was on Andy

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Dorphan season and he was runner up, and then he

0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.599
<v Speaker 1>was on Kate lim Bristo season and he was runner up.

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:04.920
<v Speaker 1>So he was runner up to both girls. And then

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 1>he became the Bachelor, the Bachelor, the Bachelor later on.

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.480
<v Speaker 1>It was like a couple of seasons maybe later. I

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 1>don't know that any titled the book runner Up. Oh yeah,

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 1>that's a key title, but I think runner up. It's

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna be like I just renamed your books. Nice to

0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 1>meet you, let's talk about your brandname. But we've done

0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>we've we've done um, you know, questions last two weeks.

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 1>So it's only you know. I'm there to ask him

0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 1>some questions, but yeah, his whole book is like um.

0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 1>One of the questions they asked him is why do

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 1>men tell women things just because women want to hear it?

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>People pleasers? I don't know that's a good question, he says,

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 1>because it's something he says, because they want short term gratification.

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:57.000
<v Speaker 1>That's way better answer than yeah, I'm excited to talk

0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>to Nick. Do we want short term gratification? No, but

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:02.760
<v Speaker 1>they think we do and that's the problem. Okay, well

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>then we're gonna is it m ratification or is it there?

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we're going to have to die. I'm curious.

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Another one is thoughts on reaching out to a guy

0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.600
<v Speaker 1>who's been ghosting me for the last two weeks. You're

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:26.440
<v Speaker 1>not allowed to answer this one. I just I would

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 1>just not reach out to the guy that's goes to

0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 1>do for the last two weeks. I really like his answer,

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 1>you're ready to hear it? Yeah, so interesting to hear

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 1>a guy's perspective. If he wanted to be found, he

0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't disappear. Yeah, it's just not so complicated. It's real.

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 1>And if they like a girl ghosting, I would say

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 1>there probably is more. There can be more to it,

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 1>but not, guys. I think the hard thing too with

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:56.199
<v Speaker 1>that is like because of the born Jewish guy or whatever,

0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.199
<v Speaker 1>that like stings to know because I'm like, oh, I

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:00.960
<v Speaker 1>wasn't and then you don't because all my stuff, I'm like, oh,

0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't chosen, I wasn't good enough. I wasn't and

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:06.560
<v Speaker 1>I know it's not me, and it's like it was

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>It's all. He's an impossible human being. Well, yeah, that's

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:10.559
<v Speaker 1>going to be one too. That's he's gonna be a

0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 1>tough one for life. He never to herself, Oh I

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:22.199
<v Speaker 1>forgot about I thought you said, great, other one you

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 1>got ghosted? Which one your life Jewish guy? You know?

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.800
<v Speaker 1>He technically was like, I'll, you know, reach out to

0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 1>you and to let you know in the next few weeks.

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Like I thought that was someone else. There's funny Jewish

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.440
<v Speaker 1>m I didn't like the other I can't. I wish

0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.079
<v Speaker 1>I could just share what I called him. Well that's

0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:51.040
<v Speaker 1>my problem. I know him as a different name. Yeah,

0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 1>do you guys want to know what his nickname was?

0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I won't say his name name, but his nickname on

0:09:56.000 --> 0:10:00.160
<v Speaker 1>the Queendom chat the whole entire relationship was by blank

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:06.720
<v Speaker 1>by his name like b y e um, why has

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:09.280
<v Speaker 1>feeling not cute enough or good enough become something so

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:13.160
<v Speaker 1>common social media? I didn't have anything nice to say

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.000
<v Speaker 1>because we have too much access and ability to constantly

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:25.720
<v Speaker 1>compare ourselves to others? Yep, um. Do you believe that

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 1>time heals all wounds? Oh? M hm ja did married

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 1>women on the right side, Like, I say, really, I

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:38.280
<v Speaker 1>think that it helps. I think the time always helps

0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.320
<v Speaker 1>the further you get away from something. But I think

0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.800
<v Speaker 1>that it's always still a little bit of a wound

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 1>for change. Well, so this is what I would say

0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>in this answer. Sure, but it doesn't mean it still

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:54.680
<v Speaker 1>won't need scarce. Yeah, sure, no, I said so in short,

0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it does. I really do. I think that doesn't.

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a yes, and oh you would and

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I know, my auntie, but I do. I think it's

0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.720
<v Speaker 1>a yes. And like yes, I do believe time because

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:10.600
<v Speaker 1>it's like we've all moved past things that are really hard,

0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 1>but they left a scar. Like, yes, time does heal wounds,

0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:20.880
<v Speaker 1>and it left a scar. Yeah, so it's not healed. No,

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:26.120
<v Speaker 1>a wound is open. Mm hmm. I think it might

0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 1>be in an open section of my life. Talk to

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.760
<v Speaker 1>us KB no, no, no, all as well. Nothing to

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 1>see here. No, I just feel like it's always still there.

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.520
<v Speaker 1>So it feels like a idea, but it's not as

0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:41.720
<v Speaker 1>heavy like That's like I was like in bed covers

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.319
<v Speaker 1>over my head. Time. The further you get away from

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 1>it heals, but I don't think it completely heals. It doesn't.

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.280
<v Speaker 1>It's not open. You're not bleeding when a wound. You

0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 1>are not. You're not in the emergency room. Yeah, okay,

0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm just a law firm of Cat and Christend. Okay,

0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 1>that's fine, we've healed or just a scar. But it's

0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:10.719
<v Speaker 1>do you see what I'm saying that I really need

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:17.040
<v Speaker 1>to drive home in a relationship, Yes, you were right.

0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna send you a black cart any minute, and

0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:20.720
<v Speaker 1>I goes to you for four and a half months.

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Um Actually, I just thought of something else, going to

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.679
<v Speaker 1>maybe bring up that happened the other day. Let's do so.

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I was like we should sometimes I like to be

0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 1>the pot star. When you see that face, I know,

0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know we're onto something good. Um M,

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna help. I'm gonna hold on that. I don't

0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:43.240
<v Speaker 1>want you to hold Can we hold it? I don't know.

0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I have to just get my words. I don't like

0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 1>it when we pinned things holding we pinned the last

0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 1>one for a long time. Oh, this is interesting. I'm

0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.480
<v Speaker 1>sick of feeling like a backup plan for their boredom

0:12:55.520 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and loneliness. Then stop answering the phone advice, don't answer,

0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.559
<v Speaker 1>don't answer. You control who you spend your time with,

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:07.840
<v Speaker 1>not them, right Mick for president? Everyone at my heart

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:27.480
<v Speaker 1>wants you. So y'all know, I've been like casually talking

0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:39.559
<v Speaker 1>to someone I'm not saying who yet not committed committed. Um,

0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:45.560
<v Speaker 1>And something happened the other day where, um, you wonder

0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:52.360
<v Speaker 1>what's a flag and what's something that is? And for

0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:54.600
<v Speaker 1>as much as I can raise my botox eyebrows I

0:13:54.640 --> 0:14:02.280
<v Speaker 1>am doing, you can't see me something that like because

0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:04.840
<v Speaker 1>you just wonder because I'm I am. The reason that

0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:10.320
<v Speaker 1>I haven't jumped all in is because I'm terrified of

0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, the bamboos moment, the like I don't want

0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:14.920
<v Speaker 1>to fail, you know, and just again like I want

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.600
<v Speaker 1>to just like really, I'm like I'm just being very

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 1>cautious and just like observing like crazy, like a lot

0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:23.400
<v Speaker 1>of times, like he'll say, you know to me, like

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:25.800
<v Speaker 1>what are you thinking? And I'm just like I'm just observing,

0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 1>like I'm just kind of sitting back and like watching.

0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 1>So something kind of like happened the other day. But

0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.600
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if it's a flag or if it's a

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.360
<v Speaker 1>just something to be cautious of, or if it's just like, oh,

0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.160
<v Speaker 1>that's just like kind of the start of like getting

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 1>comfortable and like a tell. But it could be because

0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 1>it's like I feel like I've like, don't I want

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.680
<v Speaker 1>to share things because it's like some things you can

0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 1>be like, oh that is a flag and like I

0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.080
<v Speaker 1>should have shared those things early on another things, So

0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:06.600
<v Speaker 1>share all. So we were going to go somewhere that

0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:10.880
<v Speaker 1>he invited me to and I said, what time do

0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I need to be ready by? The answer I got

0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:20.960
<v Speaker 1>was four thirty five the latest. So in my brain

0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I think five, because five the latest. If it was

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.680
<v Speaker 1>leaving it for thirty, it would be four thirty, and

0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.520
<v Speaker 1>it's five is the latest. You don't tell Kreamer like

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 1>my family has a late time too, but they don't

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:35.920
<v Speaker 1>ever get to know it. Well, here's the thing I

0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:39.000
<v Speaker 1>don't write. You don't usually say it's a secret. Yeah,

0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:40.760
<v Speaker 1>and like you you all know me. I'm on time,

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:44.640
<v Speaker 1>so you don't need you're not women are given a

0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:47.000
<v Speaker 1>five latest, then five is always gonna be the latest.

0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I was the late. I'm going to take my time

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.800
<v Speaker 1>getting ready. Yeah, I'm gonna do my thing. I'm gonna

0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.240
<v Speaker 1>check in my Instagram while I'm getting ready, I'm gonna FaceTime.

0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to do a few stories. You're gonna FaceTime

0:15:56.120 --> 0:16:00.600
<v Speaker 1>me what you're jogging with your beautiful sports bra. And

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 1>so I'm just gonna like take my time because I

0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:10.680
<v Speaker 1>heard four thirty five the latest. I didn't make that up. Okay,

0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 1>like that is what it's typed as well, probably, And

0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, or women, we know what we hear. I

0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.880
<v Speaker 1>didn't just make up five? Right? Was this over the

0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:32.120
<v Speaker 1>phone or in person? In person? Okay? I was like

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:44.160
<v Speaker 1>her or advance so um, so I could sense a

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:49.080
<v Speaker 1>little agitation when four five rolls around? When did he

0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:53.680
<v Speaker 1>get here? There? What are we fool? Let's just say

0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:57.240
<v Speaker 1>four Okay? Well, first of all, well we were together

0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the whole day, so I need the kids that day.

0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:00.920
<v Speaker 1>So he was like at my house. Okay, I don't

0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:02.080
<v Speaker 1>know if he's like coming to pick you up, and

0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:03.640
<v Speaker 1>he showed up at four thirty and you weren't ready.

0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll say this, like I had gone for a run

0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:09.400
<v Speaker 1>with a friend. I met up to watch the football

0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:14.560
<v Speaker 1>game leisurely about the day. Yeah, it was in my

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:15.920
<v Speaker 1>day off, right, So I'm like, I'm gonna go for

0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:18.439
<v Speaker 1>a run with a girlfriend. And then he was watching

0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:20.800
<v Speaker 1>football with a friend. So I met at the bar

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 1>to go watch them, you know, the Michigan game, and um,

0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:29.080
<v Speaker 1>watch the game, and then we kind of went back

0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 1>to you know, to get ready. But I was like,

0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:33.200
<v Speaker 1>well's let's go to my house and gratty or whatever. Okay,

0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:40.800
<v Speaker 1>so getting ready and again I'm face timing my mom um,

0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:45.960
<v Speaker 1>and he's not said anything at this point. Okay, He's

0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:51.639
<v Speaker 1>probably like can you please just get ready by four thirty?

0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:55.120
<v Speaker 1>So five doesn't have to be the latest, then say

0:17:55.200 --> 0:18:00.520
<v Speaker 1>four thirty I don't need okay anyway, anyway, technicalities of these,

0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:06.880
<v Speaker 1>So when for fifty comes around and this is something

0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:09.320
<v Speaker 1>and it was I guess it was a slight trigger

0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:14.120
<v Speaker 1>from me because just like I don't like to be late,

0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:17.280
<v Speaker 1>nor did my ex husband, we are like me and

0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.719
<v Speaker 1>Katherine were always early, were on time. Whatever. When we're not,

0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:24.360
<v Speaker 1>we get stressed. I get it. Well, I could kind

0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:27.479
<v Speaker 1>of sense the pacing of this person, and I'm in

0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:29.760
<v Speaker 1>my mind, I'm like, I got ten mount ten minutes,

0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:31.720
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, Like I'm early, I've got

0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.560
<v Speaker 1>ten minutes early. And he's like, you're about ready, and

0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:36.439
<v Speaker 1>I go like he's kind of said it, and like

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:38.359
<v Speaker 1>you're bout ready. And I could sense like a little

0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:41.239
<v Speaker 1>bit of like a a tone, like a little bit

0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:46.360
<v Speaker 1>of a annoyance, and I go, I mean, yeah, I'll

0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:47.840
<v Speaker 1>be ready in like five minutes. But it's it's four

0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 1>fifty and I've got you said five. He was no,

0:18:49.680 --> 0:19:00.080
<v Speaker 1>I said four thirty. Oh no no no no no,

0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:09.080
<v Speaker 1>oh no, no no no. And so you know me, cat,

0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna defense up too. Yeah, I know what I heard.

0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:17.359
<v Speaker 1>I heard four thirty five the latest? Yeah, did you

0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:23.080
<v Speaker 1>say four thirty five? No? And so I was like,

0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:25.760
<v Speaker 1>you know you said, I was like, yeah, but you

0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:28.840
<v Speaker 1>said four thirty five the latest, So like if you wanted,

0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.480
<v Speaker 1>and so I got a little if you want to

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.119
<v Speaker 1>leave a four thirty, just you should have said four thirty.

0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.239
<v Speaker 1>And in his defense, I was a little I got

0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:39.439
<v Speaker 1>a little defensive. I got a little like because I

0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:43.560
<v Speaker 1>was because my ex would also be like like, let's go,

0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:47.040
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, I hate feeling I hate feeling rushed,

0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:51.320
<v Speaker 1>which is why I always ask hours in advance so

0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:54.240
<v Speaker 1>that I don't feel rushed, because I don't like feeling rushed.

0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:57.560
<v Speaker 1>It just sends like waves in my body. That's not

0:19:57.600 --> 0:19:59.679
<v Speaker 1>good for me either. I get angry. I don't. I

0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:03.320
<v Speaker 1>just don't. I like to take my time, okay, and

0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't even need an hour or two to get ready,

0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:08.399
<v Speaker 1>but if I have it, I'm gonna take my time.

0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.639
<v Speaker 1>Well sure there's face times and football games and runs

0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:15.040
<v Speaker 1>to have. Yeah, So I'm like, I'm just so anyways,

0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:17.479
<v Speaker 1>I get a little defense and he's like it's it's

0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:18.960
<v Speaker 1>all good. Let's just like let's just go, and I go,

0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:22.080
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not going to drop it. And also I've

0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:25.159
<v Speaker 1>got four more minutes, and I'm like, but I just

0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:28.040
<v Speaker 1>don't understand, like I know what I heard and like

0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:30.720
<v Speaker 1>you said five the latest, so like you know, I

0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:32.560
<v Speaker 1>just don't understand, like why, like you don't need to

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:35.639
<v Speaker 1>give me like a prep time or whatever. Um, And

0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:37.199
<v Speaker 1>he's like, well, no, I did say, and it's like

0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 1>you knew this event was important, and I was like,

0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:43.439
<v Speaker 1>I understand it's important. I understand why word what we

0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:45.199
<v Speaker 1>had going on today, but I also told you you

0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:48.520
<v Speaker 1>at like and he goes, I just like, you've been

0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:53.159
<v Speaker 1>so hot and cold, and I go, what what do

0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:54.960
<v Speaker 1>you mean? How have I been hot and cold? He's

0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:56.159
<v Speaker 1>like I don't know. He's like, you just seem like

0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:59.800
<v Speaker 1>distant today, and I was like, huh, like I've just

0:20:59.840 --> 0:21:01.880
<v Speaker 1>been and like doing my and then then I get

0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:06.280
<v Speaker 1>when I feel suffocated or like, because I'm like I

0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:09.280
<v Speaker 1>still love like my like freedom of like you know,

0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:10.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, what do you mean? I was like, I

0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:12.320
<v Speaker 1>went for a run and then I met you at

0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:14.320
<v Speaker 1>like the thing, and I'm like is that not enough?

0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:17.040
<v Speaker 1>So then I start to get like and the poor

0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:18.480
<v Speaker 1>guys like trying to be like I'm sorry I have

0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:22.239
<v Speaker 1>said that. Like I just was like, and I go,

0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:24.360
<v Speaker 1>if you thought I was being hot and cold, don't

0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:26.879
<v Speaker 1>passively throw something. Be like, hey, are you okay? I

0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:29.360
<v Speaker 1>just want to check in with you. Just grab me

0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:33.760
<v Speaker 1>and like hug me and be like I just adore you. Yeah.

0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:35.800
<v Speaker 1>But that was like the only thing that has happened

0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:37.240
<v Speaker 1>in the last like I'd say, like two and a

0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:39.840
<v Speaker 1>half or some months that I've been like, is it

0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:41.840
<v Speaker 1>hot and cold because you're not like doating or hanging

0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:45.680
<v Speaker 1>on him? Um? Yeah, I mean again, I'm just I'm

0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:49.760
<v Speaker 1>very like, alright, I'm like, no, but I like this.

0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:51.720
<v Speaker 1>But I'm just wondering if he feels like it's hot

0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:54.240
<v Speaker 1>and cold because it's not like super all over him

0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:58.560
<v Speaker 1>or something. I have so many thoughts. First of all,

0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I do not and gets a flag personally, I don't.

0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:03.600
<v Speaker 1>I think you'll are getting to know each other right now,

0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:06.399
<v Speaker 1>and now you know that this is something I think

0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:08.680
<v Speaker 1>that he probably I'm gonna put words in his mouth.

0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:11.320
<v Speaker 1>He probably in his mind was like, Hey, if you

0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:13.720
<v Speaker 1>can get ready by four thirty, that would be awesome.

0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:16.080
<v Speaker 1>But if you're running behind, it's fine if we leave

0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:18.280
<v Speaker 1>by five, But when you're taking your time and your

0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:20.920
<v Speaker 1>face time and you're not, he sees that, and you're

0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:23.720
<v Speaker 1>not doing your best to get ready by the time,

0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:25.920
<v Speaker 1>in his mind, would be the best time to leave.

0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:27.919
<v Speaker 1>That would have been if that were me and his

0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:30.040
<v Speaker 1>That's what I would have met, and you would have

0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:35.919
<v Speaker 1>probably been annoyed, and I would why isn't she after Hey, Kramer,

0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:38.479
<v Speaker 1>we got five minutes hey Kramer, like, I would you know,

0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:40.320
<v Speaker 1>say something, but you are still getting to know each other.

0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:42.679
<v Speaker 1>So he's over here going do I say something? Do

0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:45.320
<v Speaker 1>I not like you? After this episode he'll never say

0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:47.680
<v Speaker 1>latest can say that's what That's what I'm saying. Yeah,

0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:49.560
<v Speaker 1>you probably shouldn't say it in that way, like just

0:22:49.600 --> 0:22:51.639
<v Speaker 1>give the time, especially for you. You're going to be

0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:54.119
<v Speaker 1>on time. So I just think you are getting to

0:22:54.119 --> 0:22:58.200
<v Speaker 1>know each other now. Then when two people get defensive,

0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:00.000
<v Speaker 1>we know that. Then it's just like you can't even

0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:02.359
<v Speaker 1>they talk to each other. You're both being defensive. He's

0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:05.200
<v Speaker 1>regretting saying anything any guy does once they say something

0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:08.160
<v Speaker 1>and it becomes a fight. Well, he's so like noncombative.

0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 1>He's like, and I'm like, and when I've told him,

0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I was just like, don't just say because then he's like,

0:23:13.480 --> 0:23:16.560
<v Speaker 1>it's fine. It's not fine, So tell me how you feel, like,

0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:19.560
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about it. So I'm a little I'm not

0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:22.560
<v Speaker 1>as I'm not as on board with cat. Okay, I'm

0:23:22.600 --> 0:23:28.320
<v Speaker 1>a little flaggy about it. Okay, yellow flag maybe only

0:23:28.400 --> 0:23:33.200
<v Speaker 1>because I feel because he is a self proclaimed fast faller,

0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I feel like the hot and cold coma that part

0:23:39.200 --> 0:23:41.960
<v Speaker 1>feels a little flaggy to me. It feels like if

0:23:42.000 --> 0:23:46.760
<v Speaker 1>he's not really being super loved on, doated on that

0:23:46.960 --> 0:23:50.600
<v Speaker 1>you're then it becomes that you're you're hot and cold. Actually,

0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:53.720
<v Speaker 1>it's just real life. What's happening is just real life.

0:23:54.520 --> 0:23:58.959
<v Speaker 1>And like I will say, like in that situation too,

0:23:59.160 --> 0:24:01.560
<v Speaker 1>and even with him, I'm very comfortable around him, so

0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel like I have to put on right

0:24:05.400 --> 0:24:11.080
<v Speaker 1>like some like overly affectionate kind of but I'm at

0:24:11.520 --> 0:24:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I could be accused and have been accused of being

0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:17.160
<v Speaker 1>a little hot and cold as well. I think we

0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:19.919
<v Speaker 1>all can. That's just life. I just didn't like the

0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:23.000
<v Speaker 1>passive throw that's like because I'm like, that's that's the

0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:25.320
<v Speaker 1>piece where like I kind of like it's flagged in

0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:27.800
<v Speaker 1>my brain where I'm just like, but I also like

0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:30.000
<v Speaker 1>he was frustrated, like you said, like he's been watching me,

0:24:34.080 --> 0:24:36.040
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure there was something and I don't mean

0:24:36.080 --> 0:24:37.520
<v Speaker 1>this in the bad way, but I'm sure there was

0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:39.600
<v Speaker 1>something passive in the way you said something. So I

0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:41.280
<v Speaker 1>just think that like that is like kind of the

0:24:41.400 --> 0:24:44.399
<v Speaker 1>natural way some people like that we talk sometimes. I

0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:47.240
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's as bad as but I was defensive

0:24:47.240 --> 0:24:49.080
<v Speaker 1>though when he said like, and I'm like, what do

0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:51.639
<v Speaker 1>you mean? But then it really doesn't feel like it

0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:53.840
<v Speaker 1>was about that anyways. It was about the hot and coldness,

0:24:53.880 --> 0:24:57.240
<v Speaker 1>which which is maybe which was his real issue. I

0:24:57.240 --> 0:24:59.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know, you've just been hot and cold? Well that's

0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:03.240
<v Speaker 1>just is like what I got thrown out. Say you're

0:25:03.240 --> 0:25:06.000
<v Speaker 1>frustrated about me getting ready versus like hot and cold

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:10.040
<v Speaker 1>all day? Yeah, and just about that too, like say

0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:15.520
<v Speaker 1>it all. But it's how they because he said you're

0:25:15.560 --> 0:25:17.120
<v Speaker 1>hot and cold and they were mad that he said

0:25:17.119 --> 0:25:19.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm hating hot and cold. That does scare me too.

0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:22.320
<v Speaker 1>But he's a fast follower. He's kind of damned if

0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:25.320
<v Speaker 1>he does. Damned if he doesn't. I don't even know him,

0:25:25.359 --> 0:25:27.119
<v Speaker 1>but he's kind of damned if he does, damned if

0:25:27.160 --> 0:25:29.359
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't. If that he's feeling that way because you're

0:25:29.359 --> 0:25:31.639
<v Speaker 1>already defensive, so him talking about it then kind of

0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:33.159
<v Speaker 1>no matter how he says it, you're going to be

0:25:33.160 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 1>on the defensive anyway. I don't know. Let's ask let's

0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:38.760
<v Speaker 1>ask Nick. He's in the waiting room. Let's bring him on.

0:25:51.240 --> 0:25:56.080

0:26:07.359 --> 0:26:10.600

0:26:48.760 --> 0:26:50.719
<v Speaker 1>out with a guy. She's trying to figure out if

0:26:50.720 --> 0:26:52.560
<v Speaker 1>this is a red flag or is just getting to

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:57.120
<v Speaker 1>know each other. Okay, he says be ready by four

0:26:57.280 --> 0:27:01.040
<v Speaker 1>thirty five at the latest, so she takes it as

0:27:01.119 --> 0:27:03.920
<v Speaker 1>be ready by five, well about four or forty five.

0:27:03.960 --> 0:27:06.119
<v Speaker 1>He's kind of huffing and puffin, moving around and it

0:27:06.240 --> 0:27:09.600
<v Speaker 1>getting frustrated. Whatever. This is the first second third date

0:27:09.600 --> 0:27:17.520
<v Speaker 1>where weird, like, um, it's not a first. It's definitely

0:27:17.520 --> 0:27:20.120
<v Speaker 1>not a first. I would say, like, let's just say

0:27:20.160 --> 0:27:24.120
<v Speaker 1>it's a seventh. Hang. But we've been talking for like

0:27:24.240 --> 0:27:28.119
<v Speaker 1>a month and a half with text too, because he

0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:33.440
<v Speaker 1>was like not living here. Okay. Yeah, So he gets

0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:37.399
<v Speaker 1>a little frustrated. Are you about ready? She gets defensive

0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:41.480
<v Speaker 1>because I'm like, you told me five latest, Okay, all

0:27:41.560 --> 0:27:43.960
<v Speaker 1>the defenses are up, and he she wants to prove

0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:46.679
<v Speaker 1>obviously that he said five lates and he said no,

0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:48.879
<v Speaker 1>I said four thirty And I go, no, no, you

0:27:48.960 --> 0:27:51.159
<v Speaker 1>said four thirty five latest, Like, I'm not going to

0:27:51.280 --> 0:27:53.919
<v Speaker 1>forget the time in which you told me to be

0:27:54.000 --> 0:27:57.080
<v Speaker 1>ready by I just I don't. I don't forget a

0:27:57.240 --> 0:28:00.520
<v Speaker 1>much men say anyways. So like it's a it's a

0:28:00.600 --> 0:28:03.840
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's a vault, and so, um, you're a

0:28:03.920 --> 0:28:06.600
<v Speaker 1>punctual person. I'm very punctual person and so and I

0:28:06.600 --> 0:28:09.000
<v Speaker 1>don't like to feel rushed. But I also this is

0:28:09.040 --> 0:28:12.560
<v Speaker 1>something an event that he invited me to and I

0:28:12.560 --> 0:28:16.000
<v Speaker 1>think it's go ahead. Yeah. So then he's like this

0:28:16.040 --> 0:28:18.040
<v Speaker 1>is important to me, like blah blah blah. I'm wondering

0:28:18.040 --> 0:28:20.119
<v Speaker 1>if he's just not feeling like you're making it a priority.

0:28:20.160 --> 0:28:23.480
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, so then he makes kind of a passive

0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:26.240
<v Speaker 1>aggressive comment that I just think you've been hot and

0:28:26.280 --> 0:28:29.280
<v Speaker 1>cold all day, but she's already you know, defensive, and

0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:31.439
<v Speaker 1>then you know there's all that. So it's like me,

0:28:31.840 --> 0:28:34.760
<v Speaker 1>so do you think that's a flag saying that I've

0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:38.360
<v Speaker 1>been like being frustrated and then throwing why just like

0:28:38.440 --> 0:28:40.920
<v Speaker 1>you've been like hot even so hot and cold today.

0:28:40.960 --> 0:28:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to also say this guy is an admitted

0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:48.040
<v Speaker 1>fast faller in relationships. He loves a good like instick.

0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:52.840
<v Speaker 1>He acknowledged yes, yes, yes, and he is trying hard

0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:55.560
<v Speaker 1>not to do that. And I've acknowledged that I'm a

0:28:55.560 --> 0:29:00.400
<v Speaker 1>fast fall archer. So we are literally like like baby baby, baby,

0:29:00.400 --> 0:29:03.600
<v Speaker 1>baby baby steps seeing that like because I'm like, I'm

0:29:03.600 --> 0:29:07.760
<v Speaker 1>not gonna relationship until And to be clear, how many

0:29:07.840 --> 0:29:10.880
<v Speaker 1>dates have you been on in person? Well? The hard

0:29:11.000 --> 0:29:14.640
<v Speaker 1>so like we we we texted for like two weeks

0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:17.880
<v Speaker 1>every day, all day whatever on the phone FaceTime, and

0:29:17.920 --> 0:29:22.720
<v Speaker 1>then we had like five dates and then we then

0:29:22.880 --> 0:29:26.000
<v Speaker 1>FaceTime texted for two weeks straight again because he was gone,

0:29:26.240 --> 0:29:28.400
<v Speaker 1>and then that was our next kind of hang sash

0:29:28.520 --> 0:29:32.440
<v Speaker 1>like that, like weekend dish. Yeah, it sounds like you

0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:35.760
<v Speaker 1>both are falling trapped to what you've already acknowledged that

0:29:35.760 --> 0:29:41.400
<v Speaker 1>you're both guilty of. Um, So there's that. I would

0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:45.440
<v Speaker 1>say you're probably both justified for considering if the other

0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:50.240
<v Speaker 1>person is showing these red flags right, Like, it sounds

0:29:50.280 --> 0:29:54.800
<v Speaker 1>like this is just it's these are it's it's a

0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:59.840
<v Speaker 1>lack of good communication and heightened expectation and unfair expectations

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:02.680
<v Speaker 1>of both of you, and you're both kind of playing

0:30:02.840 --> 0:30:06.760
<v Speaker 1>games in a sense, right, Like he could have said,

0:30:07.800 --> 0:30:10.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, also like you know the four thirty five o'clock, Yeah,

0:30:10.960 --> 0:30:14.120
<v Speaker 1>what is that's very confusing? Is it four thirty or five? Now?

0:30:15.040 --> 0:30:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Everyone like and and being late is a is a

0:30:19.120 --> 0:30:21.720
<v Speaker 1>huge pet peeve of mine, right, not being late, but

0:30:21.840 --> 0:30:24.040
<v Speaker 1>like not just saying not get not giving me the

0:30:24.080 --> 0:30:26.080
<v Speaker 1>heads up before running late, Like the people who are

0:30:26.160 --> 0:30:28.080
<v Speaker 1>just like I'm on my way and they're like not

0:30:28.200 --> 0:30:30.640
<v Speaker 1>even in the shower, right, But like that if there's

0:30:30.640 --> 0:30:34.600
<v Speaker 1>a spectrum of like people's personal preferences here of what

0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:39.640
<v Speaker 1>annoys people, what doesn't annoy people, And he just assumed

0:30:40.240 --> 0:30:44.880
<v Speaker 1>that saying four thirty five meant like a that you're

0:30:44.920 --> 0:30:47.800
<v Speaker 1>someone who is on time all the time, and like, well, yeah,

0:30:47.840 --> 0:30:49.680
<v Speaker 1>are you giving me options? Do you want me to

0:30:49.680 --> 0:30:51.960
<v Speaker 1>be ready at four thirty or five? That's a thirty

0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:54.880
<v Speaker 1>minute difference. Well, I don't know everything about women. I

0:30:55.280 --> 0:30:58.640
<v Speaker 1>do know that like getting ready takes sometimes for some

0:30:58.680 --> 0:31:02.200
<v Speaker 1>people a lot, and thirty minutes could be critical between

0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Like listen, if if I tell you four thirty and

0:31:05.000 --> 0:31:07.240
<v Speaker 1>you show up at five, you're thirty minutes late. But

0:31:08.080 --> 0:31:11.000
<v Speaker 1>but if if if you told me five, I'm like,

0:31:11.360 --> 0:31:14.000
<v Speaker 1>it's also worth noting. At some point Janna's facetiming her

0:31:14.040 --> 0:31:16.520
<v Speaker 1>mom during this period that she's also I mean, but

0:31:16.560 --> 0:31:19.720
<v Speaker 1>I heard five. That's besides the point she's in the

0:31:19.760 --> 0:31:24.440
<v Speaker 1>house watching her Why is the house? Well, Nick, he's

0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:27.440
<v Speaker 1>a fast follower. No, no, no, no, no, no. We

0:31:27.440 --> 0:31:29.440
<v Speaker 1>were still. We were a bit of information that I

0:31:29.480 --> 0:31:31.200
<v Speaker 1>did not give. You know, we were we went on

0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:35.560
<v Speaker 1>a little getaway together. All right, So you're already playing house.

0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:40.240
<v Speaker 1>No it wasn't. It was a no, it's not playing house,

0:31:40.960 --> 0:31:42.960
<v Speaker 1>playing house. I don't mean like you're moving in together.

0:31:43.680 --> 0:31:45.560
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't at my house. I wasn't at his house.

0:31:47.880 --> 0:31:51.080
<v Speaker 1>We went, Yeah, I think at the end of the day,

0:31:51.240 --> 0:31:54.280
<v Speaker 1>you guys have like you said, FaceTime every day for

0:31:54.320 --> 0:31:56.720
<v Speaker 1>two weeks, you had multiple dates, then he was out

0:31:56.760 --> 0:32:00.360
<v Speaker 1>of town, and then you face time again, and like

0:32:00.440 --> 0:32:03.600
<v Speaker 1>I've been like, those are fun and they're great because

0:32:03.600 --> 0:32:06.120
<v Speaker 1>you can connect and like when you're forced to like

0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:08.800
<v Speaker 1>face time and talk, you're forced to actually have conversations,

0:32:08.800 --> 0:32:10.800
<v Speaker 1>which in person people are often are bad at doing

0:32:10.840 --> 0:32:13.160
<v Speaker 1>because you know, it's awkward. Let's make out things like that,

0:32:13.440 --> 0:32:16.400
<v Speaker 1>and so that can maximize an intensity and a relationship,

0:32:17.160 --> 0:32:20.360
<v Speaker 1>and that can maximize chemistry in a relationship. But it

0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:23.160
<v Speaker 1>still doesn't mean that you guys know each other. You

0:32:23.240 --> 0:32:26.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know, like your little idedeo syncrencies of like what

0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:29.120
<v Speaker 1>annoys you guys, or what what triggers you guys? You know,

0:32:29.760 --> 0:32:31.720
<v Speaker 1>And all of a sudden he's watching you get ready

0:32:31.760 --> 0:32:33.920
<v Speaker 1>face time with your mom, and he's thinking like and

0:32:34.080 --> 0:32:36.400
<v Speaker 1>last girlfriend did this and things like that, and then

0:32:36.400 --> 0:32:38.560
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden he projects his frustrations of past

0:32:38.600 --> 0:32:41.520
<v Speaker 1>relationships onto you. You do the same thing where you're

0:32:41.560 --> 0:32:43.600
<v Speaker 1>just like, how about you just like give me a

0:32:43.640 --> 0:32:47.920
<v Speaker 1>straight answer and and and so I think you guys,

0:32:48.000 --> 0:32:50.000
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like it's good for you for acknowledging that

0:32:50.000 --> 0:32:52.080
<v Speaker 1>you're both fast followers. But I don't think you know,

0:32:52.240 --> 0:32:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you guys are hold. I don't think

0:32:55.200 --> 0:32:58.560
<v Speaker 1>you're making it easy on each other to not fall fast.

0:32:58.840 --> 0:33:01.800
<v Speaker 1>It's like what you're doing is saying you're just like, hey,

0:33:01.960 --> 0:33:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I have this really bad habit, and you're like, I

0:33:05.080 --> 0:33:07.160
<v Speaker 1>have this bad habit too. All right, Well, let's put

0:33:07.160 --> 0:33:12.360
<v Speaker 1>ourselves in situation immediately to see if we can, like,

0:33:12.960 --> 0:33:16.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, not do the thing that we're so, you know,

0:33:16.480 --> 0:33:18.320
<v Speaker 1>it's just like, hey, I'm not a good swimmer. Me neither.

0:33:18.320 --> 0:33:19.720
<v Speaker 1>All right, Let's go to the middle of ocean and

0:33:19.800 --> 0:33:23.440
<v Speaker 1>jump in. Let see what happens, you know. And so

0:33:24.320 --> 0:33:26.840
<v Speaker 1>it's one thing to recognize your difference, is I think

0:33:27.520 --> 0:33:29.840
<v Speaker 1>you we have to, like, especially if you're communicating in

0:33:29.880 --> 0:33:31.880
<v Speaker 1>any stage of relationship. This is early on, so you

0:33:31.880 --> 0:33:34.120
<v Speaker 1>guys don't know each other about each other, but like,

0:33:34.560 --> 0:33:37.760
<v Speaker 1>don't test your partner. Support your partner, you know, like

0:33:38.200 --> 0:33:40.320
<v Speaker 1>make it easy for them to make you happy, like

0:33:40.360 --> 0:33:42.960
<v Speaker 1>I'd always talk about, like you With Natalie. The one

0:33:43.000 --> 0:33:45.040
<v Speaker 1>thing she does in this my relationship with her that

0:33:45.160 --> 0:33:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I've never experienced is that she makes it so easy

0:33:48.920 --> 0:33:51.600
<v Speaker 1>for me to be successful. She's just like, this is

0:33:51.640 --> 0:33:54.640
<v Speaker 1>what will make me happy, and it's a very clear directive.

0:33:54.680 --> 0:33:56.920
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna go do that thing

0:33:57.200 --> 0:33:59.600
<v Speaker 1>or not do the thing, you know, or whatever it is.

0:33:59.680 --> 0:34:04.760
<v Speaker 1>And you know, testing people or putting themselves in situations

0:34:04.800 --> 0:34:07.680
<v Speaker 1>to prove that they can get over the weaknesses isn't

0:34:07.680 --> 0:34:11.600
<v Speaker 1>showing love. It's just you know, it's I know, we

0:34:11.640 --> 0:34:13.440
<v Speaker 1>do that because we want to be surprised, and if

0:34:13.520 --> 0:34:15.600
<v Speaker 1>we do that, then that means they then we're worth it.

0:34:15.640 --> 0:34:17.920
<v Speaker 1>But like sometimes you know, when we're getting to know

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:20.839
<v Speaker 1>easchach other, we're just like trying to like figure out

0:34:20.840 --> 0:34:23.239
<v Speaker 1>whether like we enjoy their company, and so like I

0:34:23.239 --> 0:34:24.920
<v Speaker 1>think we should just make it easy for people to

0:34:25.080 --> 0:34:28.680
<v Speaker 1>enjoy our company. And then he made like you should say.

0:34:28.800 --> 0:34:31.279
<v Speaker 1>I would say to him, like, listen, I want to

0:34:31.280 --> 0:34:32.960
<v Speaker 1>be on time for you and I and I want

0:34:32.960 --> 0:34:35.040
<v Speaker 1>to I want to make things a priority that are

0:34:35.080 --> 0:34:37.480
<v Speaker 1>a prayer to you. It would really be helpful to me.

0:34:37.640 --> 0:34:39.279
<v Speaker 1>And I say this a lot in my relationship now,

0:34:39.320 --> 0:34:43.479
<v Speaker 1>I'll say, it would be really helpful if you could

0:34:43.480 --> 0:34:45.640
<v Speaker 1>do this for me. I have this bad habit and

0:34:45.640 --> 0:34:48.160
<v Speaker 1>it would really help me to work in this bad habit.

0:34:48.200 --> 0:34:53.200
<v Speaker 1>If you could do X Y or z oh, shoot,

0:34:53.719 --> 0:34:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I can, I can, I can wait to speak. I

0:34:56.640 --> 0:35:01.200
<v Speaker 1>can be forgetful, you know, things like that. You know, so, um,

0:35:01.239 --> 0:35:05.200
<v Speaker 1>what's another thing I know Natalie will ask me about, um, well,

0:35:05.200 --> 0:35:07.320
<v Speaker 1>like I won't pay attention to right, So, like I

0:35:07.360 --> 0:35:09.560
<v Speaker 1>think it's a very common right, men do this all

0:35:09.600 --> 0:35:12.720
<v Speaker 1>the time. Uh we're zoning out. I can be aloof.

0:35:12.760 --> 0:35:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking about what am I talking on my Knox podcast?

0:35:15.120 --> 0:35:17.319
<v Speaker 1>Or what show? What TikTok should I make? Or blah

0:35:17.360 --> 0:35:21.439
<v Speaker 1>blah blah or whatever whatever bullshit, And and then she'll

0:35:21.480 --> 0:35:24.160
<v Speaker 1>be telling me a story, and and then I won't

0:35:24.160 --> 0:35:26.080
<v Speaker 1>be paying attention and she'll get frustrated, like oh what

0:35:26.080 --> 0:35:28.080
<v Speaker 1>do you say? And like there's nothing more annoying than

0:35:28.120 --> 0:35:31.920
<v Speaker 1>repeating yourself. I repeating myself. So I asked her. I

0:35:31.960 --> 0:35:34.000
<v Speaker 1>was like, hey, I know I can be aloof, but

0:35:34.120 --> 0:35:37.400
<v Speaker 1>can if you see me like zoning out, can you

0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:41.359
<v Speaker 1>just like kind of just say, hey, I really want

0:35:41.400 --> 0:35:44.320
<v Speaker 1>your attention right now? Can you plead? You know? And

0:35:44.360 --> 0:35:46.799
<v Speaker 1>that can be annoying sometimes, but it's it's still better

0:35:46.840 --> 0:35:48.839
<v Speaker 1>than me just fled out annoying her. So like it

0:35:48.920 --> 0:35:51.960
<v Speaker 1>was me asking for her help to help me with

0:35:52.000 --> 0:35:54.200
<v Speaker 1>a weakness that I know I have, And so like,

0:35:54.360 --> 0:35:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I think those little things that we have to do

0:35:56.320 --> 0:35:58.279
<v Speaker 1>to say it's like it's one thing to be like

0:35:58.280 --> 0:36:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I am not good at that. Well, yeah, I don't

0:36:01.120 --> 0:36:03.000
<v Speaker 1>know how old your person you're hanging out with this,

0:36:03.120 --> 0:36:05.440
<v Speaker 1>But am I guessing he's an adult man who hasn't

0:36:05.480 --> 0:36:08.319
<v Speaker 1>figured out how to do this thing yet. So like

0:36:09.000 --> 0:36:10.360
<v Speaker 1>he's not going to do it on his own, and

0:36:10.360 --> 0:36:11.920
<v Speaker 1>he's not going to do it without help, and he's

0:36:11.920 --> 0:36:13.880
<v Speaker 1>not going to do without someone who has the patience

0:36:13.880 --> 0:36:17.080
<v Speaker 1>to like work with them also like say how how

0:36:17.120 --> 0:36:19.640
<v Speaker 1>can I how can I help you work on this

0:36:19.719 --> 0:36:21.600
<v Speaker 1>bad habit? And this is how you can help me

0:36:21.640 --> 0:36:23.359
<v Speaker 1>work on this bad habit. I think people don't do

0:36:23.400 --> 0:36:26.719
<v Speaker 1>that enough. We just want people to just change for us,

0:36:26.800 --> 0:36:30.439
<v Speaker 1>because that means we're special. We've done that a lot.

0:36:30.640 --> 0:36:34.239
<v Speaker 1>So I've been I've been married for yeah, like for

0:36:34.320 --> 0:36:37.080
<v Speaker 1>fifteen years and we separated for a couple of months

0:36:37.120 --> 0:36:39.280
<v Speaker 1>and we are back together. We did not get divorced,

0:36:39.600 --> 0:36:41.600
<v Speaker 1>but we do that all the time. Now, what do

0:36:41.640 --> 0:36:44.160
<v Speaker 1>you mean, Like I'll be like, hey, I need you

0:36:44.200 --> 0:36:47.040
<v Speaker 1>to do X Y, and Z because I know that

0:36:47.200 --> 0:36:49.120
<v Speaker 1>this is a bad habit of mine and this will

0:36:49.120 --> 0:36:50.880
<v Speaker 1>help me. And then, like the other day, I got

0:36:50.920 --> 0:36:53.400
<v Speaker 1>frustrated because I was still dealing with the kids and cleaning,

0:36:53.400 --> 0:36:55.280
<v Speaker 1>and he got in bed and I was like, Hey,

0:36:55.719 --> 0:36:58.719
<v Speaker 1>what frustrates me is when you know I'm still doing

0:36:58.719 --> 0:37:00.600
<v Speaker 1>stuff and so if you could help me, okay, thanks

0:37:00.600 --> 0:37:02.520
<v Speaker 1>for letting me know. So the next day he stayed

0:37:02.560 --> 0:37:04.640
<v Speaker 1>up helping me do stuff, like and I mean, it

0:37:04.680 --> 0:37:07.960
<v Speaker 1>took fifteen years for us to like start doing that

0:37:08.040 --> 0:37:10.080
<v Speaker 1>and like making it a habit, but gosh, it helps

0:37:10.200 --> 0:37:13.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot. Yeah, it helps a ton, and it's yeah,

0:37:13.680 --> 0:37:17.560
<v Speaker 1>I think I think it's by far the norm not

0:37:17.640 --> 0:37:21.120
<v Speaker 1>to do what we just described. It's and it's I

0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:23.279
<v Speaker 1>think it's weird and like it's it feels it's such

0:37:23.280 --> 0:37:26.719
<v Speaker 1>an uncommon feeling to say can you help me to

0:37:26.840 --> 0:37:29.400
<v Speaker 1>your partner who you've been living with or dating for

0:37:29.600 --> 0:37:32.160
<v Speaker 1>some period of time, because we just want them to

0:37:32.280 --> 0:37:34.759
<v Speaker 1>like know us, you know, and we want us to

0:37:34.800 --> 0:37:37.040
<v Speaker 1>figure it out. But I think sometimes this is okay

0:37:37.080 --> 0:37:39.239
<v Speaker 1>to say I am bad at this and it would

0:37:39.280 --> 0:37:41.319
<v Speaker 1>be really helpful if you could do this for me,

0:37:41.400 --> 0:37:43.960
<v Speaker 1>and I will do my part. Too, Like sometimes we

0:37:44.160 --> 0:37:45.919
<v Speaker 1>can't make the mistake of saying I need your help,

0:37:46.200 --> 0:37:49.080
<v Speaker 1>and that ask for help is like you doing someone

0:37:49.080 --> 0:37:51.120
<v Speaker 1>else doing the work for you. You know, you have

0:37:51.200 --> 0:37:54.040
<v Speaker 1>to be willing to do that, because I have to.

0:37:54.680 --> 0:37:57.359
<v Speaker 1>I have to be willing to, you know, if I'm

0:37:57.400 --> 0:38:00.160
<v Speaker 1>if I'm in my thoughts, to pay attention of my

0:38:00.280 --> 0:38:03.239
<v Speaker 1>surroundings and not be so aloof and be present, you know,

0:38:03.360 --> 0:38:05.359
<v Speaker 1>and things like that. So like she doesn't have to

0:38:05.440 --> 0:38:08.720
<v Speaker 1>ask me every time to say, hey, hey, i'm talking

0:38:08.800 --> 0:38:12.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, um, because and it's my job to be

0:38:12.200 --> 0:38:14.680
<v Speaker 1>mindful of that, because like no one wants to keep

0:38:14.760 --> 0:38:19.200
<v Speaker 1>asking that. So it's a balance. But um, in your situation, Jenna,

0:38:19.280 --> 0:38:21.200
<v Speaker 1>it's like you guys know, you don't know. You have

0:38:21.239 --> 0:38:24.560
<v Speaker 1>no baseline, you have no foundation. You have a couple

0:38:24.600 --> 0:38:26.440
<v Speaker 1>of weeks and a handful of dates and hours of

0:38:26.440 --> 0:38:29.520
<v Speaker 1>face time saying all the things that you you know,

0:38:29.640 --> 0:38:32.879
<v Speaker 1>and being very open and vulnerable and and and now

0:38:32.920 --> 0:38:37.680
<v Speaker 1>you're both expecting each other to just be a certain

0:38:37.680 --> 0:38:42.080
<v Speaker 1>type of person because you've communicated things. But yet you're

0:38:42.120 --> 0:38:45.600
<v Speaker 1>expecting this person who their entire life they've struggled with

0:38:45.640 --> 0:38:48.000
<v Speaker 1>this thing or and you too, I'm sure you have

0:38:48.080 --> 0:38:50.319
<v Speaker 1>a lot of your saying bad habits right, like don't

0:38:50.320 --> 0:38:53.440
<v Speaker 1>just go away, you know, like I just I am

0:38:53.480 --> 0:38:55.000
<v Speaker 1>who I am, you know what I'm saying. All I

0:38:55.040 --> 0:38:57.640
<v Speaker 1>can do is just try to like fix them a

0:38:57.640 --> 0:38:59.239
<v Speaker 1>little bit and ask for my partner to help me

0:38:59.280 --> 0:39:00.880
<v Speaker 1>along the way. I think one of the things that

0:39:00.920 --> 0:39:03.719
<v Speaker 1>I learned too is and I feel bad, you know,

0:39:04.000 --> 0:39:05.759
<v Speaker 1>um with like my ex husband and where it's like

0:39:06.400 --> 0:39:09.360
<v Speaker 1>I wanted him to read my mind and I've learned

0:39:09.480 --> 0:39:12.959
<v Speaker 1>like that men just can't read women's minds and they

0:39:13.000 --> 0:39:16.040
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't know what I need and I coming, you know,

0:39:16.040 --> 0:39:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know what he needed. And so like having

0:39:18.440 --> 0:39:20.920
<v Speaker 1>expressing like your needs is huge, and I think that's

0:39:20.920 --> 0:39:24.000
<v Speaker 1>when I in that, you know, dating nowadays, I'm just

0:39:24.040 --> 0:39:26.560
<v Speaker 1>like this is what I need, and like what do

0:39:26.600 --> 0:39:28.799
<v Speaker 1>you need? How can I help you? Or because it's

0:39:28.800 --> 0:39:31.479
<v Speaker 1>like because you can't read my mind and I can't

0:39:31.480 --> 0:39:33.520
<v Speaker 1>read your So like if you need me to be

0:39:33.560 --> 0:39:35.279
<v Speaker 1>ready at four thirty, I'm going to be ready at

0:39:35.280 --> 0:39:37.799
<v Speaker 1>four thirty, but I can't read I cannot read your

0:39:37.800 --> 0:39:41.319
<v Speaker 1>mind that you want me ready at that time, well

0:39:41.400 --> 0:39:42.520
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. So it's like it's like

0:39:42.680 --> 0:39:44.960
<v Speaker 1>it's just I think it's just being very clear and like, yeah,

0:39:45.040 --> 0:39:46.799
<v Speaker 1>asking for the needs and that's why I like and

0:39:46.840 --> 0:39:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I love that you Nick are doing that too. Um

0:39:49.800 --> 0:39:52.399
<v Speaker 1>that's the check in. I mean that was the most

0:39:52.440 --> 0:39:53.880
<v Speaker 1>helpful thing in my marriage is we would do a

0:39:53.960 --> 0:39:55.239
<v Speaker 1>check and at the end of the night being like

0:39:55.280 --> 0:39:56.759
<v Speaker 1>this is what I need and like, hey, I need

0:39:56.840 --> 0:39:58.120
<v Speaker 1>you to be a little softer because I'm having a

0:39:58.160 --> 0:40:00.680
<v Speaker 1>hard time. I need you to listen or but sometimes

0:40:00.680 --> 0:40:02.440
<v Speaker 1>it's hard, and I know this is where I failed.

0:40:03.600 --> 0:40:05.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, why do I have to tell you to listen?

0:40:06.200 --> 0:40:08.239
<v Speaker 1>You know? And in my past that's like that's where

0:40:08.239 --> 0:40:10.799
<v Speaker 1>I would I mean, that's unhealthy of me to have

0:40:10.880 --> 0:40:13.719
<v Speaker 1>that mindset where it's like I'm like, my feelings that

0:40:13.800 --> 0:40:18.160
<v Speaker 1>hurt because he didn't listen. Well, you know whatever. But yeah,

0:40:18.239 --> 0:40:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean I think it's a balance, you know, because yeah,

0:40:21.000 --> 0:40:23.480
<v Speaker 1>like I said, like, sometimes you want your partner to

0:40:23.520 --> 0:40:25.360
<v Speaker 1>be present and you don't have to want to always

0:40:25.400 --> 0:40:32.400
<v Speaker 1>say can you listen, Yeah, listen to me. And we

0:40:32.960 --> 0:40:34.920
<v Speaker 1>were in our thoughts a lot, right, you know, and

0:40:34.960 --> 0:40:38.759
<v Speaker 1>I think we're I think we have to forget, uh,

0:40:38.800 --> 0:40:42.880
<v Speaker 1>we have to remind ourselves that ah, as much as

0:40:42.920 --> 0:40:45.120
<v Speaker 1>it's in our brains and what we're worried about, so

0:40:45.280 --> 0:40:49.000
<v Speaker 1>is everyone else around us too. Like a quote that's

0:40:49.000 --> 0:40:50.720
<v Speaker 1>really stuck with me that I saw on a TV

0:40:50.840 --> 0:40:55.400
<v Speaker 1>show was we're never the villains in our own story. Um,

0:40:55.440 --> 0:40:57.600
<v Speaker 1>And I really you know that. I think that's a

0:40:57.640 --> 0:41:00.759
<v Speaker 1>great thing for us to remind ourselves and dating relationships, Like,

0:41:00.800 --> 0:41:03.520
<v Speaker 1>whatever you're feeling, whatever, no matter how right you think

0:41:03.600 --> 0:41:08.319
<v Speaker 1>you are, just take a moment and just consider how

0:41:08.400 --> 0:41:10.200
<v Speaker 1>would I feel if I put myself in your shoes,

0:41:10.320 --> 0:41:13.359
<v Speaker 1>even if I feel like I'm right, Like if I

0:41:13.440 --> 0:41:16.920
<v Speaker 1>just thought for a moment before I respond, before I

0:41:17.000 --> 0:41:19.879
<v Speaker 1>really get worked up, before I get mad, how might

0:41:19.920 --> 0:41:22.840
<v Speaker 1>you be seeing the situation? And that's helped me a

0:41:22.840 --> 0:41:26.120
<v Speaker 1>lot to just like bring myself back down to like

0:41:26.920 --> 0:41:30.319
<v Speaker 1>not reacting to like feeling triggered, or feeling insecure, or

0:41:30.320 --> 0:41:33.000
<v Speaker 1>feeling frustrated with my partner. That's a good one. I

0:41:33.080 --> 0:41:35.400
<v Speaker 1>like that a lot. Um One of the questions in

0:41:35.440 --> 0:41:38.080
<v Speaker 1>your book, because what I was telling the girls and

0:41:38.120 --> 0:41:40.959
<v Speaker 1>the listeners is, um, this this book is great because

0:41:40.960 --> 0:41:42.279
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of questions, and you do a lot

0:41:42.320 --> 0:41:44.600
<v Speaker 1>of questions and answer on your Instagram and we were

0:41:44.600 --> 0:41:47.680
<v Speaker 1>going through some of them, and the girls actually wanted

0:41:47.719 --> 0:41:51.880
<v Speaker 1>to debate this one with you because he's like great, great.

0:41:52.680 --> 0:41:55.280
<v Speaker 1>So the question was why do men tell women things

0:41:55.480 --> 0:41:58.600
<v Speaker 1>just because women want to hear it? And you said,

0:41:58.640 --> 0:42:01.960
<v Speaker 1>because they want short term gratification, and the girls want

0:42:02.000 --> 0:42:05.560
<v Speaker 1>to debate that with you and go, well, I'm just curious,

0:42:05.760 --> 0:42:09.319
<v Speaker 1>is that for the guys short term gratification or the

0:42:09.360 --> 0:42:13.600
<v Speaker 1>girls short term gratification or both? I mean that particular

0:42:13.600 --> 0:42:15.879
<v Speaker 1>part of the book is obviously the Q and as

0:42:15.880 --> 0:42:17.279
<v Speaker 1>I've done over the years that are like at the

0:42:17.360 --> 0:42:20.359
<v Speaker 1>end of every chapter, and so, um, you know, that

0:42:20.440 --> 0:42:23.600
<v Speaker 1>question was probably probably my guesses came from like a

0:42:23.719 --> 0:42:27.360
<v Speaker 1>data you know, dealing with you know, boys and situation ships,

0:42:27.400 --> 0:42:30.439
<v Speaker 1>because I honestly think you know, as a as a

0:42:30.440 --> 0:42:33.359
<v Speaker 1>as a heterosexual male who's often like you know, has

0:42:33.360 --> 0:42:35.400
<v Speaker 1>an audience of women, Like I really think most of

0:42:35.400 --> 0:42:37.200
<v Speaker 1>the things I talked about are just they're not like

0:42:37.280 --> 0:42:40.919
<v Speaker 1>gender based like people to your point, people do that, right,

0:42:41.480 --> 0:42:45.080
<v Speaker 1>And so she was asking from the perspective as a

0:42:45.120 --> 0:42:48.279
<v Speaker 1>woman dating men, and yeah, I think we often will

0:42:48.360 --> 0:42:51.400
<v Speaker 1>say things that we don't really mean, but in the

0:42:51.440 --> 0:42:54.280
<v Speaker 1>moment it gets us what we want. And the scary

0:42:54.320 --> 0:42:57.040
<v Speaker 1>part about that is we're just very convincing of ourselves.

0:42:57.440 --> 0:43:00.000
<v Speaker 1>So when we tell people we BELLI, they believe us.

0:43:00.520 --> 0:43:02.720
<v Speaker 1>You know. It's you know, it's like when our exes

0:43:02.760 --> 0:43:05.880
<v Speaker 1>come back, you know, and we're just like, you know,

0:43:05.920 --> 0:43:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and unless there's exceptions every rule. I think that's awesome

0:43:08.360 --> 0:43:10.360
<v Speaker 1>that you and your partner took some time apart and

0:43:10.360 --> 0:43:12.400
<v Speaker 1>now you have a great marriage, you know. But lots

0:43:12.400 --> 0:43:14.600
<v Speaker 1>of times in relationships where people break up and their

0:43:14.600 --> 0:43:16.320
<v Speaker 1>exes come back, you're like, well, why are you back?

0:43:16.920 --> 0:43:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Just like, well, I had to make a mistake and

0:43:18.400 --> 0:43:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I realized how special you were, and and a lot

0:43:21.600 --> 0:43:24.400
<v Speaker 1>of times, you know, and and they sound so convincing,

0:43:24.480 --> 0:43:26.520
<v Speaker 1>and then you get back together and three months go

0:43:26.600 --> 0:43:28.560
<v Speaker 1>by and you haven't done any work, you haven't asked

0:43:28.560 --> 0:43:30.600
<v Speaker 1>the questions. You were just so excited that they're back

0:43:30.680 --> 0:43:32.680
<v Speaker 1>because you spent three months is to big being sad

0:43:32.719 --> 0:43:35.680
<v Speaker 1>about it. And the truth is like they just like

0:43:35.760 --> 0:43:37.400
<v Speaker 1>they broke up with you thinking well, you know what,

0:43:37.480 --> 0:43:39.640
<v Speaker 1>there's something missing here. I could do better, not like

0:43:39.719 --> 0:43:41.879
<v Speaker 1>not better than you, but they just they thought something

0:43:41.960 --> 0:43:44.319
<v Speaker 1>might be more fulfilling. So they started dating. They went

0:43:44.320 --> 0:43:45.560
<v Speaker 1>out there they got on the dating apps. All of

0:43:45.600 --> 0:43:49.239
<v Speaker 1>the sudden, they're like this dating seems sucks, you know,

0:43:50.239 --> 0:43:52.319
<v Speaker 1>and and all of a sudden, and no one wants

0:43:52.320 --> 0:43:54.800
<v Speaker 1>to convince themselves. No one wants to think that they settled.

0:43:55.080 --> 0:43:57.520
<v Speaker 1>They would you know, we're not good at admitting we're wrong,

0:43:57.560 --> 0:43:59.239
<v Speaker 1>but you know, when we're really good admitting we're wrong

0:44:00.120 --> 0:44:02.520
<v Speaker 1>when we when the alternative is to think that we

0:44:02.600 --> 0:44:05.600
<v Speaker 1>settled or or you know. So it's like when you know, what,

0:44:05.680 --> 0:44:07.919
<v Speaker 1>I did make a mistake, because I would rather tell

0:44:07.920 --> 0:44:10.360
<v Speaker 1>my ego I made a mistake and be like, you

0:44:10.400 --> 0:44:12.879
<v Speaker 1>know what, honestly, like it's like I thought I could

0:44:12.880 --> 0:44:15.000
<v Speaker 1>do better, but like this is better than nothing, you know,

0:44:15.200 --> 0:44:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Like we don't want a thing that you know, and

0:44:17.560 --> 0:44:21.960
<v Speaker 1>so we can just be so convincing of ourselves. And

0:44:22.040 --> 0:44:24.959
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, I think that's why, especially early in dating

0:44:25.000 --> 0:44:28.680
<v Speaker 1>situations where we we hear something from someone that sounds

0:44:28.680 --> 0:44:31.560
<v Speaker 1>really good and the really validates us, especially when a

0:44:31.640 --> 0:44:35.799
<v Speaker 1>stranger validates us, I think it's really important to ask why.

0:44:36.480 --> 0:44:39.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, we're always we're so quick to be like,

0:44:39.520 --> 0:44:41.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, when people don't want to date us anymore

0:44:41.680 --> 0:44:44.759
<v Speaker 1>or hurt us, we were like why, But why why, why?

0:44:44.880 --> 0:44:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Why does this want to end? And that's when we

0:44:46.840 --> 0:44:49.400
<v Speaker 1>should accept it. But like when when strangers validated us,

0:44:49.400 --> 0:44:51.200
<v Speaker 1>we're just like, yeah, I know I am, Yeah, I

0:44:51.239 --> 0:44:54.520
<v Speaker 1>love me too. Yeah yeah, like honestly, like thank you.

0:44:54.600 --> 0:44:56.400
<v Speaker 1>I I thought I looked good too, you know. And

0:44:56.440 --> 0:44:58.799
<v Speaker 1>so I think it's just really important to you know,

0:44:58.800 --> 0:45:00.520
<v Speaker 1>not to be a buzz killer in a moment, but

0:45:00.680 --> 0:45:03.360
<v Speaker 1>just say, oh, it's thank you for saying that. That

0:45:03.400 --> 0:45:05.640
<v Speaker 1>means a lot. But like why do you feel that

0:45:05.680 --> 0:45:09.000
<v Speaker 1>way about? You know, like what you know? And and

0:45:09.040 --> 0:45:12.359
<v Speaker 1>get people to explain their feelings they claim to have,

0:45:12.480 --> 0:45:14.840
<v Speaker 1>because it's easy to stay to feeling it's much harder

0:45:14.880 --> 0:45:17.560
<v Speaker 1>to articulate what And I think early in dating we

0:45:17.600 --> 0:45:21.360
<v Speaker 1>can protect ourselves by asking the people who who state

0:45:21.480 --> 0:45:24.920
<v Speaker 1>these kind of big proclamations of love or like to

0:45:25.080 --> 0:45:27.719
<v Speaker 1>just explain how they feel. And I think you can

0:45:27.719 --> 0:45:30.239
<v Speaker 1>get a lot more clarity about someone's true intentions when

0:45:30.239 --> 0:45:33.040
<v Speaker 1>you start doing that. I also like how you go

0:45:33.160 --> 0:45:36.600
<v Speaker 1>through um like training the pickers, where it's like five

0:45:36.640 --> 0:45:38.400
<v Speaker 1>hallmarks of a player. They have a history of cheating,

0:45:38.400 --> 0:45:40.560
<v Speaker 1>lots of people warning about them, they gas like you,

0:45:40.600 --> 0:45:42.000
<v Speaker 1>they love bomb you, and then you're going to go

0:45:42.040 --> 0:45:45.080
<v Speaker 1>into detail, but I'm like, yep, check, check, check, tringeck

0:45:45.120 --> 0:45:49.400
<v Speaker 1>of all was like so many check I gotta go. Um,

0:45:49.440 --> 0:45:52.680
<v Speaker 1>But I'm curious, like when you because if you're a picker,

0:45:52.719 --> 0:45:57.920
<v Speaker 1>obviously you've had um relationships, public relationships, and what was

0:45:58.160 --> 0:46:01.799
<v Speaker 1>different with Natalie that you realized from the other women

0:46:01.840 --> 0:46:05.560
<v Speaker 1>you dated. I mean, there's a lot of different things,

0:46:05.600 --> 0:46:11.000
<v Speaker 1>but I think more than anything, um, she she truly

0:46:11.160 --> 0:46:14.840
<v Speaker 1>has a true sense of self and self worth and

0:46:15.360 --> 0:46:18.439
<v Speaker 1>who she is. And you know, when we met, we met,

0:46:18.480 --> 0:46:21.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, I uh, she was living across the country.

0:46:21.920 --> 0:46:23.719
<v Speaker 1>It was a long distance relationship. I had a lot

0:46:23.760 --> 0:46:26.080
<v Speaker 1>of you know, questions about our compatibility. I was like,

0:46:26.120 --> 0:46:28.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, you're you're beautiful, and you're fun and and

0:46:28.719 --> 0:46:31.359
<v Speaker 1>nice and smart, but like, I don't know, And again

0:46:31.400 --> 0:46:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I would I've been single for a long time, so

0:46:33.200 --> 0:46:34.799
<v Speaker 1>I think I had a lot of cold feet. But

0:46:35.120 --> 0:46:37.520
<v Speaker 1>the more I got to know her, the more she

0:46:37.680 --> 0:46:40.440
<v Speaker 1>was just always very clear with how she was feeling.

0:46:41.280 --> 0:46:44.759
<v Speaker 1>Um And a lot of times people will say, well

0:46:44.760 --> 0:46:48.600
<v Speaker 1>what are we and and you know, I felt like

0:46:49.840 --> 0:46:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I felt resistant to a relationship and I knew that,

0:46:53.120 --> 0:46:54.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, we were both kind of catching feelings, and

0:46:54.800 --> 0:46:57.200
<v Speaker 1>she was open to it. And instead of doing the

0:46:57.239 --> 0:47:00.319
<v Speaker 1>typical well what are we you know, what should we do?

0:47:00.480 --> 0:47:04.279
<v Speaker 1>What are you thinking? She was just more Okay, I

0:47:04.280 --> 0:47:05.759
<v Speaker 1>want to tell you how I am feeling. I want

0:47:05.760 --> 0:47:07.880
<v Speaker 1>to tell you why. I just I just want you

0:47:07.920 --> 0:47:11.080
<v Speaker 1>to listen and and and to me, I found that

0:47:11.120 --> 0:47:13.640
<v Speaker 1>to be an incredibly attractive quality that was really carried

0:47:13.719 --> 0:47:17.880
<v Speaker 1>into our relationship because she's such a good communicator about

0:47:17.920 --> 0:47:20.399
<v Speaker 1>how she is feeling. You know, we can it's so

0:47:20.440 --> 0:47:23.920
<v Speaker 1>easy for us to be passive aggressive, and because like

0:47:24.000 --> 0:47:26.600
<v Speaker 1>those conversations can be awkward to have even with the

0:47:26.600 --> 0:47:29.239
<v Speaker 1>people we say we love the most, and so she

0:47:29.320 --> 0:47:31.840
<v Speaker 1>has always just been able to make it very clear.

0:47:32.560 --> 0:47:36.719
<v Speaker 1>She's always communicated with me her self worth in a

0:47:36.760 --> 0:47:39.760
<v Speaker 1>way that was easy for me to receive that didn't

0:47:39.760 --> 0:47:43.400
<v Speaker 1>sound cocky or and it wasn't passive aggressive. It was

0:47:43.480 --> 0:47:45.759
<v Speaker 1>just this is what I expect from you, this is

0:47:45.760 --> 0:47:47.319
<v Speaker 1>what I want, this is how I feel about you.

0:47:47.400 --> 0:47:49.520
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not afraid to say that because I'm confident

0:47:49.560 --> 0:47:51.880
<v Speaker 1>in my feelings and I feel like that has carried

0:47:51.920 --> 0:47:54.640
<v Speaker 1>over to us having really good trust and communication with

0:47:54.960 --> 0:47:58.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, any struggles or concerns we have, and uh,

0:47:58.960 --> 0:48:02.160
<v Speaker 1>that's something that I haven't really had in the past.

0:48:02.600 --> 0:48:04.799
<v Speaker 1>I felt like a sense of competing with people, not

0:48:04.880 --> 0:48:08.240
<v Speaker 1>necessarily like we're both trying to win, but like there's

0:48:08.400 --> 0:48:11.600
<v Speaker 1>we would trigger insecurities with each other. Instead of communicating

0:48:11.600 --> 0:48:14.560
<v Speaker 1>about that, we would project that by you know, maybe

0:48:14.600 --> 0:48:17.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of passively aggressively hurting their feelings of these little

0:48:17.239 --> 0:48:19.480
<v Speaker 1>digs and things like that. And I think I've been

0:48:19.480 --> 0:48:21.759
<v Speaker 1>guilty of that. People I've dated have been guilty of

0:48:21.760 --> 0:48:24.200
<v Speaker 1>that with me, And you know, I think with Nally,

0:48:24.239 --> 0:48:27.200
<v Speaker 1>a big reason why I have the opposite is her

0:48:27.239 --> 0:48:43.239
<v Speaker 1>confidence and her belief in her self worth. Following you

0:48:43.440 --> 0:48:46.440
<v Speaker 1>anytime you guys ever go somewhere, I'm always thinking it's

0:48:46.480 --> 0:48:48.479
<v Speaker 1>going to be an engagement photo. Like it's like because

0:48:48.520 --> 0:48:50.040
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like you guys went together for a

0:48:50.080 --> 0:48:53.520
<v Speaker 1>minute now, and I'm like and I just keep I'm like,

0:48:53.560 --> 0:48:56.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm waiting for the for that because it's like, because

0:48:56.320 --> 0:48:58.880
<v Speaker 1>you guys have like these beautiful photos and the backdrops

0:48:58.880 --> 0:49:01.080
<v Speaker 1>and stud I'm like, oh this is in there. Oh no, no, yeah,

0:49:01.160 --> 0:49:06.080
<v Speaker 1>But I was like, but I just uh, over two

0:49:06.160 --> 0:49:10.319
<v Speaker 1>years now, things are going great, you know, Um, you're

0:49:10.360 --> 0:49:12.600
<v Speaker 1>not the only person who who's who has said that

0:49:12.680 --> 0:49:16.399
<v Speaker 1>to me. I think we're really just enjoying her. So yeah,

0:49:16.480 --> 0:49:19.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean again when she does a great job of

0:49:19.400 --> 0:49:23.720
<v Speaker 1>making me, make it easy for me to be successful. Um,

0:49:23.840 --> 0:49:27.319
<v Speaker 1>and you know, like I want to know enough of

0:49:27.360 --> 0:49:30.000
<v Speaker 1>what she wants to be happy, but I also wanted

0:49:30.040 --> 0:49:32.520
<v Speaker 1>to be kind of a surprise moment, a special moment.

0:49:33.040 --> 0:49:35.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm grateful that we've both been super busy with our

0:49:35.760 --> 0:49:37.959
<v Speaker 1>careers and our lives. And obviously I have the book

0:49:37.960 --> 0:49:40.320
<v Speaker 1>coming out and and so like I want to, I

0:49:40.360 --> 0:49:43.239
<v Speaker 1>want to make sure it has its own moment, you know,

0:49:43.320 --> 0:49:45.640
<v Speaker 1>so to speak to that it's not sandwiched in with

0:49:45.800 --> 0:49:48.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, other things we have going on. And I

0:49:48.880 --> 0:49:51.080
<v Speaker 1>will say though that you know, we are excited about

0:49:51.080 --> 0:49:54.360
<v Speaker 1>our future, and who knows when it can happen, maybe

0:49:54.360 --> 0:50:00.479
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow or you know, who knows, But like I do think,

0:50:00.640 --> 0:50:03.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, we we're really happy with how it is.

0:50:03.719 --> 0:50:13.760
<v Speaker 1>And and okay, you're I can tell by his answer

0:50:13.760 --> 0:50:16.120
<v Speaker 1>that's all I need to know. Be a smart guy, Nick,

0:50:16.280 --> 0:50:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I plan on spending the rest of my life with her,

0:50:18.040 --> 0:50:21.239
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully that that that comes to fruition. But we'll see.

0:50:21.239 --> 0:50:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm calling it, and it's it's one month. In one month,

0:50:25.239 --> 0:50:28.880
<v Speaker 1>that's happening. I can just call it right, I'm sorry, Um, well,

0:50:30.080 --> 0:50:32.279
<v Speaker 1>and he doesn't want it sandwiched. So so it's gonna

0:50:32.280 --> 0:50:35.359
<v Speaker 1>before the holiday is spring? No, not not happening. It's

0:50:35.360 --> 0:50:38.600
<v Speaker 1>going to be he's got a book in holiday before Christmas.

0:50:38.640 --> 0:50:40.799
<v Speaker 1>It's happening. I can call it. Let's think about right now,

0:50:40.840 --> 0:50:44.680
<v Speaker 1>how much Well, I guess we'll find out. Okay. I

0:50:44.719 --> 0:50:47.479
<v Speaker 1>have a question, a dating question. If a guy goes

0:50:47.520 --> 0:50:51.200
<v Speaker 1>see you, let's say, let's just hypothetically say you were

0:50:52.600 --> 0:50:55.759
<v Speaker 1>hanging out for three or so months. It was you know,

0:50:55.800 --> 0:50:58.960
<v Speaker 1>he was still on dating apps, so was I, um,

0:50:59.400 --> 0:51:05.200
<v Speaker 1>but had some lovely time spent together, and the person

0:51:05.280 --> 0:51:08.759
<v Speaker 1>just straight up like ghosts, you does the person come

0:51:08.880 --> 0:51:10.879
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that person comes back around? Or now

0:51:11.080 --> 0:51:13.880
<v Speaker 1>are they gone? Why do you want? That's what doesn't say.

0:51:13.920 --> 0:51:16.960
<v Speaker 1>The bigger question is why you just I'm not saying

0:51:16.960 --> 0:51:22.680
<v Speaker 1>it's me. I'm just saying hypothetically, like ghosts come back.

0:51:23.760 --> 0:51:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Of course they always come back from the dead. Yeah,

0:51:27.320 --> 0:51:29.120
<v Speaker 1>they don't. And what do you what do you tell

0:51:29.160 --> 0:51:31.319
<v Speaker 1>to the person when the ghoster comes back? Because you

0:51:31.360 --> 0:51:34.000
<v Speaker 1>know that you probably shouldn't be with the Ghoster god.

0:51:34.160 --> 0:51:36.239
<v Speaker 1>Well kind of like I talked about earlier about why

0:51:36.280 --> 0:51:39.720
<v Speaker 1>people come back in general, you know, like any anyone

0:51:39.760 --> 0:51:42.279
<v Speaker 1>who goes for any reason, and I listen, everyone has

0:51:42.320 --> 0:51:45.319
<v Speaker 1>their reasons for certain things. But like, I'm sorry, Like

0:51:45.960 --> 0:51:50.719
<v Speaker 1>you're a bad communicator. You know, under under stressful situations,

0:51:50.960 --> 0:51:54.640
<v Speaker 1>you you choose the easy way out, which is not

0:51:54.719 --> 0:51:57.640
<v Speaker 1>to communicate at all. And I don't like you don't

0:51:57.640 --> 0:52:01.160
<v Speaker 1>need me or any other person talks about relationships, like

0:52:01.320 --> 0:52:04.279
<v Speaker 1>everyone knows that the number one most important thing for

0:52:04.320 --> 0:52:08.960
<v Speaker 1>a successful relationship is good communication. So you are, you

0:52:09.040 --> 0:52:13.480
<v Speaker 1>are investing in people who are proving more than like

0:52:13.520 --> 0:52:15.960
<v Speaker 1>you know nothing about these people sometimes and then they

0:52:16.000 --> 0:52:18.080
<v Speaker 1>ghost to you and you're like so willing to take

0:52:18.120 --> 0:52:19.759
<v Speaker 1>them back. And the only reason really take them back

0:52:19.880 --> 0:52:22.719
<v Speaker 1>is because them ghost to you makes you feel less.

0:52:22.760 --> 0:52:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Then it makes you feel like a loser. You judge

0:52:25.360 --> 0:52:27.480
<v Speaker 1>yourself like how could you ghost me? Like it's like

0:52:27.520 --> 0:52:29.520
<v Speaker 1>how could you cheat on me? Like we we make

0:52:29.880 --> 0:52:33.960
<v Speaker 1>their actions a reflection of our self worth, which is terrible,

0:52:34.040 --> 0:52:37.040
<v Speaker 1>but like you know that's our egos. And if whoever

0:52:37.040 --> 0:52:41.120
<v Speaker 1>this person is, I suspect and I say this with

0:52:41.239 --> 0:52:44.040
<v Speaker 1>love because I also have a massive ego. I would

0:52:44.040 --> 0:52:47.040
<v Speaker 1>suspect this person might have just a fairly inflated sense

0:52:47.080 --> 0:52:52.600
<v Speaker 1>of self uh. And and that ego has allowed this

0:52:52.719 --> 0:52:57.000
<v Speaker 1>person to do all these amazing things and probably take

0:52:57.080 --> 0:53:00.319
<v Speaker 1>some risks and and have careers that people dream to have.

0:53:00.880 --> 0:53:03.200
<v Speaker 1>But we have to be able to like check ourselves

0:53:03.320 --> 0:53:07.440
<v Speaker 1>and remember that like when people wrong us, that's because

0:53:07.600 --> 0:53:10.080
<v Speaker 1>they chose to wrong us with there their choices and

0:53:10.080 --> 0:53:12.319
<v Speaker 1>and and we can't let our egos make it our

0:53:12.480 --> 0:53:15.200
<v Speaker 1>problem and our self worth. And then we spend all

0:53:15.239 --> 0:53:18.719
<v Speaker 1>this time trying to convince someone who's showing us how

0:53:18.800 --> 0:53:22.560
<v Speaker 1>unworthy they are of us all these opportunities to come back,

0:53:22.600 --> 0:53:25.759
<v Speaker 1>because all we want is their validation. So would you

0:53:25.800 --> 0:53:28.560
<v Speaker 1>say the biggest red flag then in a in in

0:53:28.760 --> 0:53:32.440
<v Speaker 1>dating or a man is why are you lefting it? Well,

0:53:32.480 --> 0:53:38.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm busy making my nick for president shirts. But the

0:53:38.840 --> 0:53:41.000
<v Speaker 1>biggest red flag in dating? Would you say someone that

0:53:41.120 --> 0:53:46.080
<v Speaker 1>isn't good at communicating? Uh? I mean sure, yeah, if

0:53:46.120 --> 0:53:48.759
<v Speaker 1>you can, if you're dating someone and you know, for

0:53:48.840 --> 0:53:51.960
<v Speaker 1>whatever reason, they're a bad communicator, or if yeah, I

0:53:52.000 --> 0:53:58.279
<v Speaker 1>don't know, see if the latest you can work on that?

0:54:00.200 --> 0:54:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Kidding or reactive like I would you know, how do

0:54:06.200 --> 0:54:08.280
<v Speaker 1>also how do people react to stress? Which is interesting

0:54:08.320 --> 0:54:10.560
<v Speaker 1>going back to how this whole conversation started. I think

0:54:10.560 --> 0:54:14.160
<v Speaker 1>this this can be an opportunity for you in this person, Janna,

0:54:14.640 --> 0:54:17.080
<v Speaker 1>because what you are is you guys are testing one's

0:54:17.120 --> 0:54:19.680
<v Speaker 1>ability to deal with some sort of conflict. It's too

0:54:19.680 --> 0:54:22.200
<v Speaker 1>early to deal with this type of conflict. But maybe

0:54:22.760 --> 0:54:26.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe you go to him and say, listen, um, I

0:54:26.239 --> 0:54:28.640
<v Speaker 1>know that was really important to you, so like I'm

0:54:28.719 --> 0:54:33.000
<v Speaker 1>sorry that I wasn't ready and that because like I

0:54:33.040 --> 0:54:34.520
<v Speaker 1>know that was important to you, and I don't want

0:54:34.520 --> 0:54:37.000
<v Speaker 1>you to feel like you're important. Things are important to me.

0:54:37.520 --> 0:54:40.799
<v Speaker 1>It would help me in the future that if if

0:54:40.840 --> 0:54:43.800
<v Speaker 1>something is really a priority, just give me one time,

0:54:44.400 --> 0:54:47.560
<v Speaker 1>and I promise you I will be ready by that time.

0:54:48.200 --> 0:54:50.160
<v Speaker 1>If you give me two times, I'm telling you what

0:54:50.280 --> 0:54:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to receive it. I'm going to receive it

0:54:52.040 --> 0:54:57.520
<v Speaker 1>by saying like, yeah, I'm on time, I'm not early.

0:54:57.800 --> 0:55:00.200
<v Speaker 1>So like, if you want me to be early, then

0:55:00.239 --> 0:55:02.680
<v Speaker 1>give me a different time, give me give me that

0:55:03.640 --> 0:55:07.279
<v Speaker 1>communicate that. See how he responds to that, because like

0:55:07.480 --> 0:55:09.680
<v Speaker 1>the only real response to that would be like he

0:55:09.719 --> 0:55:13.960
<v Speaker 1>should he should also say, you know what, You're right,

0:55:14.320 --> 0:55:17.319
<v Speaker 1>I made that confusing. I am sorry. So that's what

0:55:17.400 --> 0:55:20.640
<v Speaker 1>he did, and I loved that. That's handsome because I'm

0:55:20.680 --> 0:55:23.200
<v Speaker 1>the ride there. He's like, I was kind of quiet,

0:55:23.200 --> 0:55:25.040
<v Speaker 1>and he goes, can we talk? I need a minute

0:55:25.080 --> 0:55:27.319
<v Speaker 1>because I felt like my defense and I know when

0:55:27.320 --> 0:55:30.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm defensive, I shouldn't communicate, and so then once I

0:55:31.000 --> 0:55:34.080
<v Speaker 1>was like okay, and then he did say, like, you know,

0:55:34.120 --> 0:55:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. I could see how that was confusing, and

0:55:37.440 --> 0:55:39.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's like, I just was, you know, really

0:55:39.800 --> 0:55:42.439
<v Speaker 1>like blah blah blah. So he like he definitely owned

0:55:42.480 --> 0:55:44.600
<v Speaker 1>his part and then which made me then feel comfortable

0:55:44.680 --> 0:55:46.399
<v Speaker 1>to go and you know, I'm sorry. I was very

0:55:46.440 --> 0:55:49.080
<v Speaker 1>defensive back because I got triggered with like, you know,

0:55:49.160 --> 0:55:51.480
<v Speaker 1>feeling rushed or whatever from blah blah blah. So I

0:55:51.520 --> 0:55:54.799
<v Speaker 1>think you're right. Like it's almost like that was a

0:55:54.840 --> 0:55:57.880
<v Speaker 1>good little tester to see how we deal with potential

0:55:57.880 --> 0:56:02.520
<v Speaker 1>conflict and in future conversations, because I mean, other than communication,

0:56:02.560 --> 0:56:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I think there's no better indicator than people's ability to

0:56:05.520 --> 0:56:08.840
<v Speaker 1>be successful is like how do they deal with conflict?

0:56:08.880 --> 0:56:12.239
<v Speaker 1>Because it just if you and I've been there, if

0:56:12.680 --> 0:56:15.399
<v Speaker 1>if you're in a relationship with someone, no matter how

0:56:15.480 --> 0:56:18.719
<v Speaker 1>much fun they are, how much chemistry you have, when

0:56:18.719 --> 0:56:21.239
<v Speaker 1>it gets bad, it's bad and you guys can't get

0:56:21.239 --> 0:56:23.520
<v Speaker 1>on the same page and it takes like a freaking

0:56:23.520 --> 0:56:26.960
<v Speaker 1>week to get over anything Like this is not sustainable,

0:56:27.560 --> 0:56:29.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, Like it just wears you down, you know,

0:56:30.320 --> 0:56:33.279
<v Speaker 1>and it just it won't matter how fun it is

0:56:33.280 --> 0:56:37.719
<v Speaker 1>when it's good. So um, you know, that's why. Like,

0:56:38.120 --> 0:56:40.319
<v Speaker 1>that's why I think people should be less resistant to

0:56:40.520 --> 0:56:45.480
<v Speaker 1>communicating their frustrations and less resistant to conflict early on

0:56:45.560 --> 0:56:47.200
<v Speaker 1>or just hearing something you don't want to hear it,

0:56:47.280 --> 0:56:51.200
<v Speaker 1>because all you are is figuring out fairly early, like

0:56:51.280 --> 0:56:53.880
<v Speaker 1>how you can work through issues with someone, because if

0:56:53.880 --> 0:56:56.719
<v Speaker 1>you can't do that, like it doesn't matter. Like the

0:56:56.760 --> 0:56:59.760
<v Speaker 1>honeymoon foods phases great, But the longer the honeymoon phases

0:57:00.040 --> 0:57:03.680
<v Speaker 1>phase last without any conflict, you still have a lot

0:57:03.719 --> 0:57:06.400
<v Speaker 1>to learn, you know. Until you have that first fight,

0:57:06.480 --> 0:57:09.480
<v Speaker 1>whatever that fight is, and and and figure out is

0:57:09.520 --> 0:57:11.680
<v Speaker 1>this someone I can work through issues for? Then you

0:57:11.719 --> 0:57:14.520
<v Speaker 1>still don't really know them, you know. So just be

0:57:14.600 --> 0:57:17.280
<v Speaker 1>careful how much you're willing to promise yourself and what

0:57:17.360 --> 0:57:20.600
<v Speaker 1>feelings you're willing to express to someone before you truly

0:57:20.680 --> 0:57:23.760
<v Speaker 1>know someone. And I'm not saying pick a fight early on,

0:57:24.320 --> 0:57:34.680
<v Speaker 1>but just you and listen. We want to romanticize things

0:57:34.720 --> 0:57:36.600
<v Speaker 1>all the time. And it's just like I feel like

0:57:36.640 --> 0:57:38.880
<v Speaker 1>I've known you and like, you know, as if you're

0:57:38.960 --> 0:57:41.240
<v Speaker 1>someone I used to make this mistake, right. I thought

0:57:41.240 --> 0:57:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna be married with kids at and then

0:57:44.880 --> 0:57:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't. And then I was in a relationship at

0:57:46.800 --> 0:57:49.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven that failed, So then I'm two years behind

0:57:49.280 --> 0:57:51.280
<v Speaker 1>that plan. Then you know, I was in another relationship

0:57:51.320 --> 0:57:52.800
<v Speaker 1>that failed before I was thirty, and then I was

0:57:52.880 --> 0:57:55.280
<v Speaker 1>five years behind that plan, and I started like comparing

0:57:55.720 --> 0:57:58.880
<v Speaker 1>all my success or failures of this artificial deadline. So

0:57:59.000 --> 0:58:01.360
<v Speaker 1>instead of like wanting to get to know someone and

0:58:01.360 --> 0:58:03.919
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure out if we're really compatible, I would

0:58:03.960 --> 0:58:07.240
<v Speaker 1>just be like, nah, we're in love, right. I didn't

0:58:07.280 --> 0:58:09.200
<v Speaker 1>want to like wait, I didn't want to wait at

0:58:09.200 --> 0:58:12.480
<v Speaker 1>the time to be like, you know, no, I love you,

0:58:12.560 --> 0:58:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I have feelings of love for you. I love everything

0:58:14.760 --> 0:58:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I know so far, but like you know, and I

0:58:17.800 --> 0:58:20.560
<v Speaker 1>know what we'll see you know, I you know, I

0:58:20.800 --> 0:58:24.480
<v Speaker 1>truly believe that every relationship you have to wake up

0:58:24.520 --> 0:58:27.320
<v Speaker 1>every day and choose to be in a relationship, you know,

0:58:27.440 --> 0:58:29.760
<v Speaker 1>because I didn't, I think, and I don't believe in fit.

0:58:29.840 --> 0:58:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I believe in that. But like that takes work, and

0:58:32.960 --> 0:58:35.120
<v Speaker 1>the things are going to change, and you're gonna get stressed.

0:58:35.120 --> 0:58:37.040
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna get stressed. You're gonna have bad days, you

0:58:37.080 --> 0:58:39.919
<v Speaker 1>might have bad weeks. You know, we're and it's really

0:58:39.960 --> 0:58:42.080
<v Speaker 1>easy to go back on Ryan and see what's prettier

0:58:42.080 --> 0:58:44.080
<v Speaker 1>and shinier, But you're gonna have the same issues with

0:58:44.160 --> 0:58:47.080
<v Speaker 1>the same shinier person, you know. You know, there's that

0:58:47.080 --> 0:58:52.040
<v Speaker 1>whole section of my book called Everyone's annoying. Yeah they are.

0:58:53.960 --> 0:58:56.720
<v Speaker 1>And if you're someone Jenna for someone who in you too,

0:58:56.760 --> 0:59:02.000
<v Speaker 1>if you met your you fall fast. Don't forget to

0:59:02.000 --> 0:59:05.680
<v Speaker 1>remind yourself just how you know, gross men can be,

0:59:05.800 --> 0:59:09.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, like or or just how obnoxious people can be,

0:59:10.040 --> 0:59:12.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, and so like eventually you're going to find

0:59:12.480 --> 0:59:15.600
<v Speaker 1>out that they like leave every cabinet door open, or

0:59:15.640 --> 0:59:18.400
<v Speaker 1>that they sometimes put like you know, cereal in the

0:59:18.440 --> 0:59:20.640
<v Speaker 1>fridge because I'm not paying attention, and that can be

0:59:20.680 --> 0:59:24.439

1:00:25.880 --> 1:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I like that there's a person like Nick in the

1:00:27.800 --> 1:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>world as a male advocate for communication. I like that

1:00:31.800 --> 1:00:33.720
<v Speaker 1>he has a following. I like that he's using the

1:00:33.720 --> 1:00:38.080
<v Speaker 1>following for good. That feels good. But there's one of

1:00:38.120 --> 1:00:40.520
<v Speaker 1>him in the session. I like it. Yeah, how old

1:00:40.560 --> 1:00:43.840
<v Speaker 1>is Nick? He seems young? Um? I like that. I

1:00:43.840 --> 1:00:48.439
<v Speaker 1>wanted to just plays like thirties six. Okay, maybe Nick

1:00:48.600 --> 1:00:55.080
<v Speaker 1>by our age? Um, he's forty two? Do what? What

1:00:55.160 --> 1:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>did you just show his Instagram? Thanks taller in person?

1:01:00.000 --> 1:01:01.720
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know he's forty two. I like that, and

1:01:01.760 --> 1:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I know that there was some he doesn't look for

1:01:04.000 --> 1:01:06.320
<v Speaker 1>you too, But I just like that he's using his

1:01:06.400 --> 1:01:09.240
<v Speaker 1>influence to like really just say the things that need

1:01:09.280 --> 1:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>to be said. I know that. Oh there, it goes

1:01:11.480 --> 1:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>through the whole thing. Like Natalie Joy age. So there's

1:01:13.400 --> 1:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>the couple has an eighteen year age difference. Um, Natalie

1:01:17.360 --> 1:01:21.040
<v Speaker 1>is uh three? Can I see her? But she's I

1:01:21.080 --> 1:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>mean it sounds like she's way you know, she's cute, stunning. Yeah, um,

1:01:26.840 --> 1:01:29.480
<v Speaker 1>but I mean I know that probably comes up, but

1:01:29.520 --> 1:01:31.560
<v Speaker 1>it's like, you know, I think if I don't really

1:01:31.600 --> 1:01:33.280
<v Speaker 1>think that much matters. To be honest, he just just

1:01:33.320 --> 1:01:37.080
<v Speaker 1>a number. I've hated older and they were, but communicates

1:01:37.160 --> 1:01:40.760
<v Speaker 1>really well. Yeah. I like I feel like probably that

1:01:40.840 --> 1:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>generation like her three. It's it's like the middies that

1:01:44.680 --> 1:01:48.080
<v Speaker 1>are like where I would say like actually because they

1:01:48.200 --> 1:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>they're all they're all in the therapy and the talk

1:01:50.400 --> 1:01:53.240
<v Speaker 1>and that like communicating and telling their feelings. I feel

1:01:53.280 --> 1:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>like the ones maybe between like and something maybe I

1:01:56.320 --> 1:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>don't know, ye on this episode all the way down. Okay, well, ladies,

1:02:14.480 --> 1:02:17.120
<v Speaker 1>that was that was a fun episode. And I really

1:02:17.160 --> 1:02:20.200
<v Speaker 1>like Nick. What a sweet man. On another day, and

1:02:20.240 --> 1:02:23.360
<v Speaker 1>I guess we'll just continue on putting the flags on

1:02:23.440 --> 1:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>the on the white board and and um bringing it

1:02:26.280 --> 1:02:28.000
<v Speaker 1>to the table. And I just want to go to

1:02:28.000 --> 1:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>the record. I want to go on the record because

1:02:29.560 --> 1:02:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I really do like this guy. And I know he'll listen,

1:02:31.880 --> 1:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>and if he does listen, I just want him to

1:02:33.560 --> 1:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>know that I do really like him. I was the

1:02:35.320 --> 1:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>one that defended him. I'm just saying, well, I'm not

1:02:37.320 --> 1:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>defending him, but I do like that's just that situation. Okay, okay,

1:02:41.040 --> 1:02:41.680
<v Speaker 1>all right, guys,
