<v Speaker 1>trust in me. Thank you for doing so. Awelita is

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of experience, but let's see how my experience

0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>holds up when listeners right in with their dating questions.

0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh my goodness, and I have to give advice on

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 1>the spot. I can do that to our listeners. If

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:41.559
<v Speaker 1>you've ever wanted advice directly from an abuelita like me,

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:45.600
<v Speaker 1>well now it's your chance. Dm us with your dating

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:50.519
<v Speaker 1>questions at Date my Abuelita First on Instagram and I

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 1>will select a few questions to answer. Now let's get

0:00:54.040 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 1>the advice trained Roland. Here we go again. The question

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>comes from Matthias. My girlfriend of six months is throwing

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.080
<v Speaker 1>hints that she wants to move in together. It's more

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 1>than hints now because in the last couple of weeks

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>she started sending me listings on Zillow and Craigslist that

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>she likes. And while she has an outright said she

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:21.119
<v Speaker 1>wants to move in, the writing is on the wall

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.399
<v Speaker 1>for sure, and we've definitely talked about it casually before.

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 1>While I'm a little apprehensive to move in together, I

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:29.760
<v Speaker 1>gotta say it would be nice that she lives a

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 1>bit far from me and we only get to really

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>see one another once a week, which doesn't feel like enough.

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Despite wanting to see her more and see what it's

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>like to have that kind of intimacy, I don't know

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 1>if I'm ready to move in. I'm thirty seven and

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 1>I've never lived with a partner before. There's a lot

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>about the possibility that excites me and a lot that

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 1>makes me hesitant. I'm a little scared of losing my

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 1>autonomy and my alone time. I'm unsure when I'll know

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 1>if it's the right time or if I should just

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>go for it and see what happens. Another big factor

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>is I've lived in my current place for over ten

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:11.360
<v Speaker 1>years and it's rent controlled. I live in a city

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 1>we're finding a good place to live at an affordable

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:17.519
<v Speaker 1>price is really uncommon, But I know my girlfriend would

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>prefer to live in a different part of town. I

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 1>want us both to be happy. What should I factor

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 1>in and making such a big decision, and is it

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>too early. What do you mean too early? Are you

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>looking at the clock? If there's any clock that you

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 1>should be looking at right now, it's the fact that

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:40.240
<v Speaker 1>you are thirty seven years old and there is no

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>more time to waste. You have heard those simple words

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.960
<v Speaker 1>that everybody mentions, life is so short. In regards to

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>her looking for places on Zillow and Craigslist, I think

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty cute. I think that shows her enthusiasm for

0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:00.960
<v Speaker 1>this relationship though it is six months old. Sometimes it

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 1>takes six years, sometimes it's never. But you have the

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to do it now. Now you're apprehensive about a

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:15.080
<v Speaker 1>couple of things, rent control, really, really, we're talking money already. No,

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>how about we just get it done now. Do you

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 1>have that kind of intimacy in order to fulfill this dream? Well?

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Do you? You will not be questioning unless it was there.

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 1>You are excited about the possibility, But at the same time,

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 1>you're on that sense, a bit hesitant and a bit

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:38.840
<v Speaker 1>scared you're going to lose your autonomy. You're alone time.

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 1>How about your togetherness? How about enjoying all that beautiful

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 1>life that you have with someone that you can truly

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>truly enjoy your life? With don't be so hesitant. If

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>you're asking questions is because you are ready for the answer.

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>You want someone to tell you what is right, and

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Awilita is right. Here, make a chance, leap with great faith,

0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 1>follow your heart. What can happen? It doesn't work, at

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 1>least you gave it your best shot. Are you ready

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 1>for another question? This one is from Rex. I was

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>talking to a super hot person on a dating apple.

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Here we start with the hot one TVH. I was

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 1>looking for a fun, spicy encounter. They told me they

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 1>were going out of town, but with text. When they

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.919
<v Speaker 1>got back, I thought, oh, yeah, right, no one ever

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 1>follows up. Well, to my surprise, when they got back,

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>they texted asking what I was up to over that weekend.

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I invited them to hang out the next day, but

0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 1>didn't hear back. The next day they texted saying they'd

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:56.880
<v Speaker 1>been sick. Yeah, possible, but a bit sketchy. We made

0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:00.679
<v Speaker 1>plans to hang out the following weekend. Hang out arrived,

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I hadn't heard from them and sent a text no answer.

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 1>The next day I received texts from them, but from

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:13.719
<v Speaker 1>a new different number. Oh my goodness. They had gotten

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>a new phone and yeah, lost their contexts. Sure, they

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 1>were so sorry for ghosting, and that that hadn't been

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 1>their intention. I don't believe them throughout all of this.

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:31.240
<v Speaker 1>My friends said, it seemed sus slash red flaggy, but

0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:35.279
<v Speaker 1>not totally out of the realm of possibilities, and I

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 1>could try one more time. I replied, nicely but succinctly.

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I asked if they wanted to hang that week. They

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:47.400
<v Speaker 1>said yes, excitedly, and we decided on a day. Well,

0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 1>two hours later they texted again and said that they

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 1>actually weren't very available with the lame excuse, they had

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 1>so many opportunities to ghost. Why follow up after their

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 1>trip out of town? Why tell us they got a

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 1>new number? Why tell me they got a new phone.

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to f a blank si kay explanation,

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:14.719
<v Speaker 1>exclamation exclamation, Well is their loss? Now? Tell me I

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.160
<v Speaker 1>will need that. What was up with this person? And

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:21.599
<v Speaker 1>how do I avoid situations like this moving forward? Well,

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.799
<v Speaker 1>if you put yourself on the spot, take what comes

0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:29.479
<v Speaker 1>with it. Your first sentence to me said, you're looking

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:33.360
<v Speaker 1>for a hot person to have a spicy encounter. Well

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.359
<v Speaker 1>there was nothing serious there. You were not looking for

0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:41.400
<v Speaker 1>someone who was real and honest. No, and this person

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 1>they got the drift. They knew they could do whatever

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:49.919
<v Speaker 1>they wanted, especially since you kept texting them. Once a

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>person ignores you the first time, do you really need

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:57.359
<v Speaker 1>a second opportunity to be put down or abused or ignored?

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 1>This is how the relationship will continue. Your intentions are good,

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:07.480
<v Speaker 1>but maybe your thoughts should be a bit more condensed

0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 1>than saying, maybe I'm looking for something else. This person

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 1>did not want to connect with you. This person did

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 1>not have the time for you. This person did not

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>have the respect enough to tell you anything that was real.

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>There was no honesty, no truth, and you accepted it.

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 1>And remember that in the process of it all. You

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:31.320
<v Speaker 1>can ask a million friends how they feel about the

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 1>situation that you are going through, but they are all

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:40.360
<v Speaker 1>talking about their own life experiences. Now Awilita is telling

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:44.080
<v Speaker 1>you about a whole world of experiences and giving you

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>the best advice I can so that you can find

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>that goodness, that humbleness, that kindness, that light that will

0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 1>shine in your life. So move on, find reality and

0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 1>stick with it. When MISA artists don't forget to listen
