@StephanSpeaks I been in a Relationship for 7 years and when I was 22 he asks me can he have a 3 some and I told him no not now maybe when I turn 30 but I'm turning 30 soon and he told me he wants another woman in the relationship in I told him yes but my heart said No I can't do it.. it's hurts me so much cause I'm thinking I'm enough but I'm not enough for him.. I really need some Advice from you a Alpha Black Male I'm crying for help???
Ladies be grateful when a man tells you he’s not ready and respect his decision cause they are so many men who will tell you they are ready but their actions says totally different!
The thing is men wait to say they don’t want a relationship after months of “dating” I had this happened to me he lied in the beginning I was upfront and said I wanted to be in a relationship and asked him and he said “ yeah let’s see where it goes” then 4 months later he says he doesn’t want one and lied and tried to say he never said he wanted a relationship ( even tho I had messages of him saying it and calling me baby) he said “ all I said was you was a good vibe” after that I cut him off he tried coming back but I didn’t let that happen
I dumped my ex yesterday, he told me he was confused after 4 months of dating and wasn't sure if he is ready for a relationship , so my reply was "let me help you with your confusion, bye"
@@jackiemcbride833 you should atleast have some small samples available or atleast let him window shop if you don't want to be celibate forever. A man needs to be enticed.
I heard the “I’m not ready for a relationship” about a week ago and broke it off. It really hurt at first, but I knew it’d me good long term. I’m feeling much better today.
Okay but tell me why men come into a woman’s life knowing he’s not ready to love her??!! It’s so selfish to lead someone on for your benefit. I don’t get it..cause sometimes they won’t say they’re not ready they’ll just string you along until they have no more use of you and call the woman the crazy one when he wanted her first!
Exactly I went through this I was minding my business and he came texting me even after I left him on seen knew I wanted a relationship knew I liked him and still wasted my time that’s why today I am how I am and kinda scared to date cause I’m scared it will happened again I went through hell with that guy
It's up to you to use discernment, common sense, and ask the right questions. If his words and actions don't align, cut him loose. Ask the hard questions upfront like "what are you looking for?" And if he says one thing, but behaves the other way - welp..there goes your answer!
It sucks but that's the game you are in. The only option is to get better at the game. There are women winning everyday. Become one of them. Its easy to do you just have to work hard at it
In all honesty, if man tells me any variation of "I'm not ready for a relationship" I'm out. Period. I don't need him to explain any further because that phrase explains it all and I am not going to put my life on hold for a man that made it known he is unsure about me.
@@ladyowl9187 funny how they’re ready for that huh? I had a guy say he didn’t want a relationship (he lied he agreed in the beginning) made excuses why he didn’t want a relationship ( which were lies) but wanted to hang out and got mad when I didn’t want to
Thank you for this message Stephen. I recently got my heartbroken. I went to church and ask God for clarity and confirmation. God gave me BOTH. I ignored the gut feelings. I ignored the miscommunication and red flags. I know now and I thank God for answering my prayers. Ladies if you are not sure about the guy you're dating ask God for clarity and confirmation. Whatever answer you get I ask God to give you strength. You will be ok. Trust God's process. He will never steer you wrong. God bless yall.
Same girl same! I ignored all signals. He wasn't Christian which is something I already knew but still proceeded. Now feeling sad, but I mostly miss the attention 😕
I am so glad I read your comment. I know what I need to do and ask. But like you wrote: I also got to ask for the strength to handle the answer. I’m still dealing with the heartbreak and it’s almost been a year.
This is why I don’t lay down with him even though I want to lol. 😩 🤦🏽♀️ I’ll just give him time and space to think about how he really feels about me. He’s not ready for what he says he wants so I would like to not be attached and be available for my person. I’m stingy with my time and energy. I’m not wasting it.
Ifeoma in sure you are Nigerian and as a Nigerian man myself I know we can be challenging. Giving space is good if you aren't truly interested but if you give too much space you may lose him to a more aggressive style woman.
Biggest thing I got from your video: No matter the reason, we have a CHOICE. We can stick around and “go with the flow”. OR, we can keep it moving. Keyword being choice 💯
Exactly. I had to be honest with myself and the guy I was dating. He was like let’s go with the flow. What flow? We had already crossed the line. It’s been 9 months already. Men now days play too many games. He tried to divert and put everything on me as if I was the only one who caught feelings after dealing with him for this amount of time. He suggested that we just be friends to make simpler and “keep you sane”. I told him communication & consistency is what does that. I told him I can’t do that that’s not what I want & you don’t get to keep me in your life like your other “friends” while you figure out if you want me or not. That’s why I say there’s pee, Froot Loops, Cheerios, poo, and immaturity in the Dating Pool nowadays. I’m out. Until God sends me the beautifully, imperfect heart & soul of the man he made for beautifully, imperfect me.
Been there and we really need to stop wasting our time with the wrong one. The one who's ready will find you in the good moment. God doesn't send confusion in our life. Take the "I don't kno" for a no!!! Men kno what they want they just need the good one to realise it.
Thank for bringing light to this situation. A lot of us woman are dealing with this and you confirmed everything I knew inside. Keep spreading your wisdom. We Appreciate you!❤
I just divorce my husband after 11/2, finding out he was having sex with his MALE FRIEND, WHO IS IS BOYFRIEND. YUPPP I SOLD EVERYTHING AND GAVE him what he came into my life with, t-shirts, socks and underwear. I had purchased him a truck and Lexus and when I seen the truth, I SOLD IT ALL
I have someone at this moment, not wanting me to walk away and not wanting to be in a relationship. I told him, it's fine we don't have to be together but I'm moving on. This was on time bc he is being very territorial. I cut off hugs, kisses, sex....I changed my number...I mean...this is very eye opening.
So true! I went through this recently. This guy was just a client who turned into a friend but he treated me really well….I mean great. We started hanging out as friends. Then he started taking me out for dinner all the time and other fun things..and buying me extravagant gifts…spending big money…and I was like,”hey what’s going on here”??? Then one day he said he was very sexually attracted to me…but I told him I didn’t want to sleep with a guy in the path to nowhere,(because he had already mentioned that he didn’t want a relationship or to ever marry again)…ironically he was crazy jealous and got toxic if I hung out with other guys. I never slept with him because I saw red flags and when I wanted to talk about it he was always unwilling to have a conversation. The weird part is that he spoiled me like crazy! He must have spent a hundred thousand dollars taking me out and buying me fancy things BUT he had a lot of red flags so it ended. It ended because I said I wanted to be with a guy who wants a real relationship and I definitely do NOT do FWB …so he got mad that I wouldn’t have sex with him so he sneaked off to sleep with some easy chic and tried to keep it secret but I saw the signs and our time ended. He still says hello sometimes but I don’t care how nice or rich or whatever a man is if he’s just trying to play me. At least I didn’t give it up and I stuck to my standards so I didn’t get too hurt. I want somebody who’s ready for what I need and wants to take the right steps to get there. So many players out there. I’m glad for these videos that help us navigate past all the bs! Thank you.
Remarriage while the first spouse is living is a sin. So you dodged a bullet. Never date anyones husband (divorce is a sin, once married you’re bound til death) or baby daddy (if you’re childless).
My friend was in a situation with an ex who was very generous to her but he used it for control . Got violent when she didn't want to accept side chicks 😳
You really ought to return all gifts that you still have, such as material things - or it will seem as if you can be bought. Even to yourself it will feel like that.
Wrong. The putting out of a woman WITHOUT A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE is a sin in the Bible. Being fat is also a sin. And all sin is the same. Focus on the log in your own eye before you focus on the speck in someone else's eye, and don't be a judgemental Pharisee.
This is another amazing and real topic! I’ve been guilty of this for sure. We can’t deceive ourselves to think that we can get this guy to want to be ready for a relationship with us. We have to keep it 💯 with ourselves and know that if he doesn’t want a relationship but he wants to get all of relationship benefits, we have to respect ourselves enough to speak up for ourselves and say, you get relationship benefits when we’re in a relationship and not before!
Women, you deserve better, you need to really know what you truly want in a relationship, and once you have that all mapped out… it becomes a lot easier to weed out the men that do not fit the criteria you’re looking for. This way, you’re not wasting your time with men who are not ready for a relationship. Anyway, that’s my two cents. -Carlos Verde - Dating Tips
@@carlosverde-datingtips7001 I couldn’t agree more! To add to that it’s not only knowing what we want but making sure we set our standards at the very beginning.
This entire video is a gem. Straight forward and really gives cause and effect....glad i could watch. I will tell you this though. Ready or not, its solo season 4 me 🙌🏾 ....Whomever Jesus direct my way The spirit will let me know. Alot i learn this year was exhausting and If imma be tired I want it to payoff with results not insults...Solo is my name until......🙏🏾.
Men do not deserve the relationship/gf benefits without actually committing to being a your bf/partner, not ok. Please girls don’t put yourself in these situations, open the door and close it. #boybye. You deserve so much better!:). Friendzone the guy who’s not ready for a relationship, do not in anyway entertain the guy. It’s not worth it, don’t allow him to use you for his benefit. Guard your heart. The pain from this is not worth it and it can badly affect your mental health, emotional health and even physical health, it’s been scientifically proven. I myself have also learnt the hard way from being in these situations, I realised I needed to love myself more and get the heck out!:) God helped me and continues to help me heal my low self esteem and people pleasing ways and cos I know God loves me I don’t try to seek validation from men (this is still a struggle but I’m much better:) Gods love is much better than sacrificing yourself to be with a guy who is commitment phobic and not willing to step up as a man or just using you for sex and comfort. We as women deserve so much better.
@@MeetStephanSpeaks no dramas at all Stephen:) I believe this is a HUGE topic that needs to be addressed in dating culture so thank you for bringing it up. I’ve seen many women and even men cry over the wrong bf/gf as I volunteer online counselling when I can. I’ve studied christian counselling and family therapy:) I’m by no means a Psychologist or anything and it’s not my profession I just volunteer but this is a huge topic in todays hook up or dating culture.. women and men getting hurt on both sides… like emotionally damaged for years over these situations ships etc
Listening to this makes me realize so many things... Then I regret so much accepting certain things that I had accepted back then. Attachment is indeed the very strong feeling that has held me back now I am embracing my healing process and I can definitely see the growth.
Wow! 🥺🙊 This is so true for us women. We will just sit at a table where love is no longer being served, forgetting that we're naturally emotional beings. We always catch feelings and end up hurt , broken and bitter in the end. The next genuine relationship may suffer as a result. Self sabotage. "The more you invest in this BS situation, the harder it is to come out." Stephan Speaks Thank you 🙂❤
Outstanding advice! Some men just want to have fun, so they usually take the path of least resistance. Most of the time, they will do/say whatever they feel is necessary to maintain their level of peace.
GOD KNEW I needed this video. Thank you so much. The clarity and confirmation this has brought me has likely saved me from heart break and a bad situation. God bless you!
Great advice Stephan! Women, you deserve better, you need to really know what you truly want in a relationship, and once you have that all mapped out… it becomes a lot easier to weed out the men that do not fit the criteria you’re looking for. This way, you’re not wasting your time with men who are not ready for a relationship. Anyway, that’s my two cents. -Carlos Verde - Dating Tips
@@puertoricanprincess2272 Women have the power of seduction built right in but either don't know how to use it or are too lazy to do so. We will talk about it in the next few episodes. follow the channel and find us on ig under the same name.
I am in this exact situation right now. He told me he's not ready for anything too serious but is saying good morning and goodnight everyday and acting like my boyfriend. It's like we're in a relationship but his initial words linger in my mind making things challenging. This video was much needed.
Why do men stick around and still be with the woman who they aren’t ready to be in a relationship? Say they want one but feel you arnt “the one” why continue to waist time with the person then instead of finding the right one? Don’t get it
I'm a communicator. I've made mistakes where I gave WIFE benefits to a BOYFRIEND/SEXUAL ACQUAINTANCE. I've learned to make communication a priority. For me, discussing where we are after 3-6 months and if we would like to go further. I allow him to determine that once I make my desires known.
Faye, my advice is move quicker than that. If a woman isn’t asking about a relationship within 3 months of consistently dating, I assume she obviously just wants to keep it casual… And after 6 months.. if I’m looking for something serious, you aren’t even in consideration at that point because I’m assuming I’m your backup plan
Well marriage isn't for everyone to fair. But make sure you are on the same understanding when you do sleep with them. I have no problem with a long-term commitment with intimacy. Honestly I don't think I would do the marriage thing again. I'm up for a long-term commitment.
this video saved me I've told myself this for months now all I have to do is execute....I believe the women here knew this already as well. like always we look for confirmation especially if it's not coming from the person we need it from. THANK YOU wholeheartedly 🦋
“I’m cool with going with the flow… not the hell you’re not!” That spoke to me! It’s me! 😂😂😂😂💀🤦🏾♀️ I need to speak to Stephan about my process to exit stage Rn 🤦🏾♀️
Well, I… don’t do casual sex only relationships. I’m either getting to know someone to move forward toward a future… Or we’re cutting ties. I am perfectly happy being alone…. No one ever died from not having sex! 😏
"Take that as an opportunity to exit stage left, and get on the path to receiving what's truly best for you, and what you actually want in life." ❤️ 🚶🏾♀️👏🏽 Thanks again Stephan...☺️
Thanks so much for this video! I know I'm not going to settle for less than I know my worth! We as women are more emotional than men. We need to make sure we are working towards healthy relationships if that's what we want. Always make the right choice FOR YOU! 💯💜👑
Ladies, don't waste your time with these married men. It is definitely a waste of your time. If they going to get a divorce then they need to to heal. Don't jump into a relationship that early. You are going to be hurt.
Love everything about this video. The problem comes in when they are so selfish that they can't be honest about not being ready for a relationship. He came in "ready" yet along the way I had to figure out that in reality he was not ready. Just be honest.
Yea but I always ask is that so they want one but then as time goes they don’t feel we are the right one for them and they just then continue doing what they do but not ending it or giving there all?
@@stephaniedickerson5126I completely coming where you coming from, I entered a relationship with a good man but his actions and values didn’t match and i could intuitively felt like that wasn’t his all , we can only allow what we can take and what’s best for us ,so I definitely exited the stage left because as women we deserve some one who wants to lead not someone who you have to push like a child.
Your territorial comment is one of the most brutally honest comments I have ever heard on social media. You are right that too many men like women to be around but not fully commit or marry them.
Yes but some women are chosen and married from that process. They say no woman wants a man other woman don't want. Better to be picked out of a large pool as the wife than be his only option. If only you want him then he may not be the one.
Thank you for this Stephan. I’ve been thinking for a few weeks now if I’m happy in my ‘situationship’ and I think Its time to face my thruth, set my boundaries with the man I am seeing and do whats best for me. I’ve been doing this mistake over and over and I feel like I deserve someone that will be on the same page as me.
I'm sorry to hear about that, I pray that you heal from all that you have been through, and be able to receive the man who is truly best for you, the man God has for you 🙏 ❤️
Stephan -- You're the BEST1. This video is excellent and covers everything we need to know. Your videos always give a balanced perspective. So often we women want a "relationship" with a man at any cost. A good man knows himself and will bond with the right woman who fits with him. He doesn't play games... Your advice is always on point!
Bruh man, action speak louder than words, you are dead on, jealousy doesn't equate to a relationship, it is about control, having my cake and eat it too, and you are not getting a slice of it either or neither, he just want to hold on to you as an "in case" but don't want to commit to you but you BET not go "no where" with anyone else, oh father.. friend, oh, okay... cookie time
I relate to this personally. He said I just want to focus on work, school, getting his life together! I am not ready for a relationship, but I love having you around and I fall into the trap smh.. I know what I want but I am so comfortable with him it scares me to start over with someone new!!
If you are not comfortable in a situationship than rethink it. I was just in one as I we both liked each other, good times but how he felt bout a pal was the ending of the situation. Reason why I had always said no I wont be ur gf as we needed to get to know each other more. I never was in a relationship as its alot of talk but no action. Not sure how that works with some. The situation I wanted to eventually travel, go try diff places locally to eat and all. Somethings are nice to do with someone. It is hard to start new with someone.
Girl it’s BS I had this guy tell me this honestly it has nothing to do with a relationship cause there’s people everyday that have more on their plate and are in a relationship ( even married) it’s an excuse I fell for this but the guy lied and waited to tell me this when the 4th month came he was full of it cause in the beginning he agreed to a relationship than he lied and try to say he never said that and made excuses
Give him space but not only that. Withdraw drastically but not entirely. When he feels what he's missing then he'll make a decision one way or another and then you'll know.
Excellent explanation, clarity is very important and if you don’t receive it my advice is to move on. Every one should know what they want and if you’re still undecided and you’re 30 years old or older that’s a red flag 🚩. Be clear or be out ✌️✌️✌️!
Always on point sir! Learned this the hard way, started focusing on developing a closer relationship with the Most High, fasting, not entertaining even the idea of dating, just working on improving myself fully and my eyes have opened up more. We must keep our chastity, fight to keep it, men and women especially with all of this corrupt music, TV shows, etc that bombards us spiritually mentally emotionally and physically. We are human beings and we desire/need love companionship etc. But most of all we need our Lord. We must consistently ask Him for right guidance, forgiveness and help. And we have to put in the work. People come and go, people come, leave then come back and very few stay. The ones that never come back came to teach us, and the ones that stay, we must pay attention. Keep your legs closed Queens. Let him explore your heart, mind, character, what makes you you. Don't let me talk your panties off. He got you flowers, he opens doors, he takes you out, he makes you laugh, he helps you, KEEP LETTING HIM BUT NEVER GIVE UP YOUR PRECIOUS TREASURE! You will know by what he shows you. And how he treats you is how he feels about you. You let him lead. Be consistent in prayer and protecting your heart and safe gaurd your chastity. Sex is very powerful, very beautiful, extremely sacred and our spouses are the only ones that should be getting it. Thank you for this message and reminder Stephan. May the Most High bless and guide us all Ameen.
@Nautahsha Simms you are worth it. ❤️. I'm sure you've learned from what happened. You have 2 choices. Wallow in the pain or become a better version of you. What do you chose?
This is so on point. I've had these feelings for someone that put me in the friendzone. Really hard for me to get over cause i feel they are my soulmate. Ive decided to distance myself. I want his heart not a non-commitment sexual relationship. So I feel crazy cause we haven't had sex and I feel so strongly about him. Thank you for this video....You are so on point.
@@atlantasfaithsmom so true🎯 I too got 💔 for the 2nd time by the SAME PERSON😭 This video is so on point! I messed up because I let a so called man tell & show me he dont want more than ONCE🤦🏽♀️ #SillyOfMe
I made sure to get "He’s Lying Sis” And I love that it’s in audiobook, so I can learn to grasp and strive to embrace this same energy. My heart is stubborn and often not prepared for the ugly, hurtful truth..being honest with the situations I find myself in are becoming more easy to understand. This topic/post is 100% of what I need to hear. I have a lump in throat the entire time-yes, but I got to hear this.
1. Know your value!!! (Do NOT doubt yourself.) 2. Take yourself and your worth seriously. You need to BE A QUEEN to be treated like one. 3. Don’t give easy access. Access to your energy should be expensive. 4. Do NOT only EXPRESS your boundaries. YOU MUST show them. 5. Always be ready to walk away. 6. Show that you are focused on actions not on words. 7. Have a healthy degree of skepticism. 8. You must be willing to say NO and you must be willing to lose the man, if needed. 9. Never EVER chase a man! A truly worthy woman, does not EVER chase a man. Giving the same energy that you're getting is key and if you don't like that energy then move on! NOW! It can be hard but that's when you need to choose yourself over the damn illusion/fantasy. A man who loves a woman will not ignore her, ever, period. So... If he ignores me I will step back and he will lose me. Simple. Simple. Non-dramatic and uncomplicated. I don’t, under any circumstance: play these childish-abusive-controlling mind games. I will only be with a man who values and appreciates me, and treats me as the Queen, I AM. (Daughter of the Most Hight; King of kings!) Because I am a beautiful and kind and divine and sexy and wise and intelligent and magical woman: who knows my worth. Period. Also, We create each moment. This moment contains, through my focus, both positive and negative... I can put my attention on what I lack, what I don't have, what traumas I do have etc... And, I can put my attention on the calm moment that I am in, NOW, the food I just ate, and the fact that my body is satisfied, the shelter I do have... (You get my idea!) Both are here... And now. For the sake of fairness, I will allow myself to cry my pains, in the moment if/when they come/arise, AND also acknowledge the beauty I still have in my life NOW. Pain? Yes. Suffering? Indeed. And, also: wonderous magical divine beauty. Blessings to you!
Truth.. I keep going through this, the last question hit the nail right on the head! Went from a relationship to nothing, to friends, to fwb, to nothing, etc. it’s a vicious cycle. Only this time I hear. “This is why I’m single”. Or, “This is why I’m staying single”. Do you bro. Cuz that’s what I’m gonna do! ✌🏻 Ty Stephan ❤️
@@NiMarieB boy this is a touchy issue. For me I’d rather a man with no children. Reason being often times the ‘child/children mother’ uses the kids as excuse to be calling him every minute even when it’s not important (remember I say often not always) secondly it depends on how old the children are. Let’s say a man has 3 kids and he’s struggling to take care of them; my question is how is he gonna take care of me and our children we r going to be havin together. Also does these kids love you or blame you for their dad leaving their mom? A LOT had to b considered when kids are involved. Let me share my story. I was dating this guy and he hav 3 kids, the mother wud often leave them alone cause she knows they r going to call their dad n he’s goin to go their to stay with them. The problem with this is that he was livin with me and had to leave us ere alone to go to stay with the kids as the mom wasn’t there. So I ended it cause what kina marriage wud that be?🤷🏻♀️
@@NiMarieB also if u mean that they have kids together; staying in a relationship that’s toxic because of kids is even more toxic as ur teaching ur kids that toxicity is ok.
If a man said, "I just want to be friends" and then asks you to give him wifey benefits.... He is not worth your time. Walk away as fast as possible. Leave him and let the door slam behind you. You are not a toy to be played with. He does not respect you. These are the kinds that will be cheating.
I have just broke up with my bf because he said he is sure that his feeling for me is only a friendship and cant be more than that. He said it after a year of dating and he was so sure that we will be together for marriage but then he got confuse and choose to leave..😢
Very Helpful, Stephan! This video certainly clears up my feeling funny about asking a new person i meet what type of relationship he's looking for, I still ask it. Then If I like the answer, I'll speak to him for a couple of weeks maybe a couple more then ask what he's looking for WITH ME. This answer normally lets me know whether we should continue to get to know eachother or not, sort of never fails. This question sounds simple but it's a loaded one. Luv your posts, grateful for you, thanks!
He said he was not ready for a serious relationship and just want to be friends for now. It broke my heart bc there is something really special between us. I respect his decision but I refuse to be a placeholder and nourish him back to a good place and see him find someone else bc he will be then "ready." I love myself too much to pour my love and attention in a man that does not want me for a serious commitment. I'm so greatful for this video and I'm planning to go see you in Boston, Stephan!
Very interesting discussion! I would love to hear your take on this story: I was dating a guy once who told me that he knew I was the person he wanted to marry, but he wasn't ready. He also said that he wanted to be able to fool around with other women but the thought of me fooling around with another guy drove him crazy-- his words. I told him that while I appreciated his honesty, my self worth would never allow me to be in a relationship that had two different sets of rules/rights. I told him that maybe we should break up and take our chances at finding each other again when we were ready. He didn't like that. Nothing else was said. A few weeks later, I saw him holding hands with another woman. I sent him a letter and broke up and never saw him again. Never had any further discussions about it with him. He ended up marrying that woman several years later. They are now divorced ( she filed). Before they got married, he would always mention my name to people he met who were from my hometown community or college and say how great I am. His GF ( now ex wife) would even mention me to associates and ask them details about what I was like because her BF would say that I was so perfect ( her words). Weird. I'm not sure exactly what happened here, but I do know he ended up regretting what happened. He doesn't know that I know he went on to marry the person he cheated on me with. I don't think he realized my value at the time, but has since come to realize it. Unfortunately, it is too late because I will never be a second choice/afterthought or 'option' when something else fails-- particularly since it was someone he cheated on me with. Ladies, be very careful with men who 'aren't ready'. They may be more ready than you think, but underestimating you as a woman/person, etc. No one should ever allow themselves to be treated as an option or second choice. NO person ( male or female) is worth your self respect and/or dignity.
We both wanted comfort, sex and fun after being out of serious relationships. We agreed to be honest if we had attraction to someone else. I could tell he started having feelings before me and I considered it but was trying to be sure it wasn’t me mistaking lust for love. Once I was sure I do love him I told him not necessarily wanting or expecting him to say it back but because it was genuine. We tried to take it bf and gf status but he says he’s not ready because I have so much more than him plus I have 2 young children whose father passed and he doesn’t have any (I’m 35 and he’s 28). Neither of us want to be sexual anymore because neither of us are overly sexual and have satisfied that desire. I respect he wants to start fresh and build his own family I just hope he doesn’t get mistreated. Because he is truly one of a kind. He helped me be open to love again, made me willing to be vulnerable again, and showed me so much respect and I truly enjoy his company and conversation(which is so crazy because we have a slight language barrier; his first language is Spanish and I understand it way better than I can speak it but we mainly speak English). I was initially hurt by us not getting in bf gf status. But my genuine love for him causes me to use my wisdom and not emotions. If it meant to be it’ll be. I’m grateful for our friendship.
oh my gosh girl, you just spoke my situation better than I expressed it. Different language, different counties even for me and a wider age gap but I adore him for many of the same reasons you stated. I just know I need to back away and I'm not sure how/if I can do it. Miss him so profoundly when I try. 🙏🏽
@@DrMargoLomaxD I’ve moved on from the FWB and am in a relationship with someone else now. He asked me to be his girlfriend and is so in love with me. He’s 33
We are in our mid 60's. Dating four months. I love our connection. I told him that I love him, for being a good man. I clarified I'm not in love with him after 4 months. He agreed, he's not in love with me. We are exclusive, and he claims me as his girlfriend. He says I'm perfect for him. He's been married twice, and says he would do it again. I would like to get married again, and I can see myself being married to him. I plan on giving this a year, and pay attention to see if his feelings deepen, if not. Then I will move on...
I appreciate you so much. I was dealing with someone treating me as a back burner so I held him accountable. I told him that I respect his choice to be friends, but I will not entertain him playing relationship games with me. He was giving me very little effort, no time and just enough attention to keep me hanging on a string as his backup plan. Because of you, I addressed it and told him that I recognize what he is doing and that I will no longer entertain this behavior because he is not pouring nothing into my life and I don’t need to be pacified. It was so liberating to state my worth and that I not willing to settle for this behavior. He called and said he hears me and understand. I told him that most women would settle for this, but I require more from a friend or relationship. Thank you Stephan. I told him I prefer he go figure things and call me at that point.👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
Omg..you said right on point cause I was going through the same thing with this guy who I thought things were going somewhere come to find out it was all talk....
It means I’m going to take as much from you as you’ll give, and give you nothing in return. If he’s not ready ladies, leave him high and dry. Let him be “not ready” all by himself and find a real man.
Thank you for your help and knowledge. Because this man that I was dating just instantly asked me could he move in with me and started trying to control what I do where I’m going, what time and everything, it was driving me crazy 😝… asking me to send him money and ask me to buy him a book called Brainwashed 👀👀👀🤬. 😱 OMG!!!! I just said GOODBYE 👋
Too bad. He isnt giving me enough time? Its not even a matter of my happiness, Im just not interested and will get a guy who will keep that intetest in me
It’s just not worth getting into a casual relationship/emotional enmeshment with a man or a friends with benefits situation-ship with men as a christian or a non christian trust me(scientifically and biologically speaking women and men more women are not designed to have casual situations with men or just sex or one night stands, it’s bad for your body/soul and heart) protect your heart/body and soul and don’t get emotionally attached to these men. Date the men that deserve you and are ready for a relationship!! You are worth the love you give to these men, you deserve the love back!! Trust me I know the statistics on these things:)! God bless everyone
@@MeetStephanSpeaks God wants so much more for our earthly relationships than what we often settle for. Women and men on both sides need to stop hurting each other, it causes long term emotional and psychological damage. The rates of depression and anxiety/suicidality tend to be higher in people in complicated relationship/situationship. Also I think we all need to learn to communicate better as men and women and set healthier boundaries and standards for our lives:) From Jess in Australia 🇦🇺
Life isn't all statistics. Each woman and man is different but it's true certain characteristics are similar. Situationships have also lead to great marriages. Its easy to say no sex to marriage but you are making a harder road for yourself. All my married friends had sex with their wives before marriage and are doing well as far as I know. Not saying to do it just saying you are making your path to marriage tougher
Exactly! Women do confuse that a lot...when a guy cuffs you by being possessive and selfish and territorial....but that doesn't equate to him wanting you and loving you like that. Cmon now. Thats why I tell women that all the time. So Thank You for telling them again bro.
See that's it right there. I wish I would not have wasted my early 30s on a guy who said one thing but he sure did act like we were in relationship and didn't want me to see anyone else. I finally had to bounce.
What if a guy tells you he just wants to be friends after a mutually agreed casual relationship. He said he sensed that I was getting emotionally involved and the last thing he wanted to do was hurt me because Im "the best person he's ever known" so he friend zoned me and he has been a good non sexual friend during some my toughest life moments which has only made me love him more. if I'm honest I could go back to casual but I'm trying to be fully honest with myself about what I want and whats possible. I can't speak what I want but I know I'm way past emotionally involved. I have not had someone treat me in word & deed with so much authéntic, honest emotional care. Lord help me!
Good stuff! I believe men underestimate the value women place on honesty. Men lie for various reasons, one of the more popular reason is that “she wouldn’t be able to handle the truth”. This is so not true, I respect a man so much for his truth, whether the news is good or bad. I lose respect & trust fast when I’ve found out that he lied to me, the relationship is pretty much over at that point.
Thank you for bringing clarity to the issue of men not wanting to commit. I now know what to watch out for. My time and energy is valuable i can't afford to waste it on a man's insecurity. Thanks again.💕
You want to act single? Imma act single too. And not give you the option to sleep with me. Literally Just date. Or not at all. I think sometimes we forget that we are wives, and let these men distract us because we want him so bad. While diminishing our values and desires. I stopped playing that game with men once I remembered who I was as a woman.
You will never get a genuine apology from a man who is insecure, arrogant and prideful. Besides, how can you apologize to someone when you always feel you are right? Sorry without change in action is manipulation and they feel entitled to abuse you and come back to you whenever they choose to. HATE says " I don't care how my actions is affecting you and my mission is to DESTROY you". " I'm sorry but you think I am lying." That isn't an apology. HATE isn't SORRY! PERIOD. Treat me like an OPTION I will treat you like you were never the ONE.
Whew! This is a powerful message! 15 years on and off! I wasted a lot of time! But lesson learned! I said no! I won’t go back, I can’t go back! I GOT OUT! I will wait for the right one! ‼️‼️‼️
I like this very much. But I'm not ready for a relationship either. We enjoy each other's company. A relationship is a lot of commitment and dedication.
This video came to me at a right time lol cause I’ve went through something like this with the same guy 4x already & we haven’t spoke since October because of the same reason I wanted to have a relationship with him but he wanted me to wait but wasn’t showing me that he wanted me more like a girlfriend. Long story short I can see that him & I aren’t compatible. But yet he still has me on social media 🤷🏻♀️
2years of off and on and he is in PRISON, I don’t ever ask him for anything, I love him and we just spend time and enjoy one another. Talk everyday, etc. recently he said something about men hitting on me in public and me needing to wear a ring so men know I’m’ taken’ and I told him I’m not taken because he won’t commit to me. He called me crazy and stopped talking to me. The last year has been so amazing with him being locked up and just the time together. I never asked him for a single thing. Sighhhh…. But yeah, even when he was out I wouldn’t have sex with him or let him touch me at all. He knows that. But we’re absolutely in love. He’s crazy about me. He’s just an idiot. I’m absolutely lost Honestly, I don’t want to love my life without him. There is no one else for me, I know, I’ve been alone for five years, but I’ve been completely in love with him since we met. I’m alone with or without him, honestly

This comment! I rather a man tell me this from the start than pretend, because only God knows I would be willing to leave!
The thing is men wait to say they don’t want a relationship after months of “dating” I had this happened to me he lied in the beginning I was upfront and said I wanted to be in a relationship and asked him and he said “ yeah let’s see where it goes” then 4 months later he says he doesn’t want one and lied and tried to say he never said he wanted a relationship ( even tho I had messages of him saying it and calling me baby) he said “ all I said was you was a good vibe” after that I cut him off he tried coming back but I didn’t let that happen

I heard the “I’m not ready for a relationship” about a week ago and broke it off. It really hurt at first, but I knew it’d me good long term. I’m feeling much better today.
Okay but tell me why men come into a woman’s life knowing he’s not ready to love her??!! It’s so selfish to lead someone on for your benefit. I don’t get it..cause sometimes they won’t say they’re not ready they’ll just string you along until they have no more use of you and call the woman the crazy one when he wanted her first!
It isn't an easy situation but we need to focus on doing what is truly best 🙏
Exactly I went through this I was minding my business and he came texting me even after I left him on seen knew I wanted a relationship knew I liked him and still wasted my time that’s why today I am how I am and kinda scared to date cause I’m scared it will happened again I went through hell with that guy
Because you’re either a place holder OR a booty call.
It's up to you to use discernment, common sense, and ask the right questions. If his words and actions don't align, cut him loose. Ask the hard questions upfront like "what are you looking for?" And if he says one thing, but behaves the other way - welp..there goes your answer!
It sucks but that's the game you are in. The only option is to get better at the game. There are women winning everyday. Become one of them. Its easy to do you just have to work hard at it
In all honesty, if man tells me any variation of "I'm not ready for a relationship" I'm out. Period. I don't need him to explain any further because that phrase explains it all and I am not going to put my life on hold for a man that made it known he is unsure about me.

Thank you for this message Stephen. I recently got my heartbroken. I went to church and ask God for clarity and confirmation. God gave me BOTH. I ignored the gut feelings. I ignored the miscommunication and red flags. I know now and I thank God for answering my prayers. Ladies if you are not sure about the guy you're dating ask God for clarity and confirmation. Whatever answer you get I ask God to give you strength. You will be ok. Trust God's process. He will never steer you wrong. God bless yall.
God wants your to take action. Without action you'll always get what you've always got. Good luck sis
Same girl same! I ignored all signals. He wasn't Christian which is something I already knew but still proceeded.

Thank you for this.
This is why I don’t lay down with him even though I want to lol. 😩 🤦🏽♀️ I’ll just give him time and space to think about how he really feels about me. He’s not ready for what he says he wants so I would like to not be attached and be available for my person. I’m stingy with my time and energy. I’m not wasting it.

Exactly. I had to be honest with myself and the guy I was dating. He was like let’s go with the flow. What flow? We had already crossed the line. It’s been 9 months already. Men now days play too many games. He tried to divert and put everything on me as if I was the only one who caught feelings after dealing with him for this amount of time. He suggested that we just be friends to make simpler and “keep you sane”. I told him communication & consistency is what does that. I told him I can’t do that that’s not what I want & you don’t get to keep me in your life like your other “friends” while you figure out if you want me or not. That’s why I say there’s pee, Froot Loops, Cheerios, poo, and immaturity in the Dating Pool nowadays. I’m out. Until God sends me the beautifully, imperfect heart & soul of the man he made for beautifully, imperfect me.

I'm happy this has been helpful to you, don't forget to share so that others can receive love and healing ❤ 🙏
Self love is everything. ✊🏾
I need that.
So true! I went through this recently. This guy was just a client who turned into a friend but he treated me really well….I mean great. We started hanging out as friends. Then he started taking me out for dinner all the time and other fun things..and buying me extravagant gifts…spending big money…and I was like,”hey what’s going on here”???
Then one day he said he was very sexually attracted to me…but I told him I didn’t want to sleep with a guy in the path to nowhere,(because he had already mentioned that he didn’t want a relationship or to ever marry again)…ironically he was crazy jealous and got toxic if I hung out with other guys. I never slept with him because I saw red flags and when I wanted to talk about it he was always unwilling to have a conversation. The weird part is that he spoiled me like crazy! He must have spent a hundred thousand dollars taking me out and buying me fancy things BUT he had a lot of red flags so it ended. It ended because I said I wanted to be with a guy who wants a real relationship and I definitely do NOT do FWB …so he got mad that I wouldn’t have sex with him so he sneaked off to sleep with some easy chic and tried to keep it secret but I saw the signs and our time ended. He still says hello sometimes but I don’t care how nice or rich or whatever a man is if he’s just trying to play me. At least I didn’t give it up and I stuck to my standards so I didn’t get too hurt. I want somebody who’s ready for what I need and wants to take the right steps to get there. So many players out there. I’m glad for these videos that help us navigate past all the bs! Thank you.
Remarriage while the first spouse is living is a sin. So you dodged a bullet. Never date anyones husband (divorce is a sin, once married you’re bound til death) or baby daddy (if you’re childless).
My friend was in a situation with an ex who was very generous to her but he used it for control . Got violent when she didn't want to accept side chicks 😳
I’m so glad you didnt ignore the signs!!! God bless
You really ought to return all gifts that you still have, such as material things - or it will seem as if you can be bought. Even to yourself it will feel like that.
Wrong. The putting out of a woman WITHOUT A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE is a sin in the Bible.
Being fat is also a sin. And all sin is the same.
Focus on the log in your own eye before you focus on the speck in someone else's eye, and don't be a judgemental Pharisee.
I appreciate a man who is honest about not being ready. Also a man that will communicate.
This is another amazing and real topic! I’ve been guilty of this for sure. We can’t deceive ourselves to think that we can get this guy to want to be ready for a relationship with us. We have to keep it 💯 with ourselves and know that if he doesn’t want a relationship but he wants to get all of relationship benefits, we have to respect ourselves enough to speak up for ourselves and say, you get relationship benefits when we’re in a relationship and not before!
Women, you deserve better, you need to really know what you truly want in a relationship, and once you have that all mapped out…
it becomes a lot easier to weed out the men that do not fit the criteria you’re looking for.
This way, you’re not wasting your time with men who are not ready for a relationship.
Anyway, that’s my two cents.

Men do not deserve the relationship/gf benefits without actually committing to being a your bf/partner, not ok. Please girls don’t put yourself in these situations, open the door and close it. #boybye. You deserve so much better!:). Friendzone the guy who’s not ready for a relationship, do not in anyway entertain the guy. It’s not worth it, don’t allow him to use you for his benefit. Guard your heart. The pain from this is not worth it and it can badly affect your mental health, emotional health and even physical health, it’s been scientifically proven. I myself have also learnt the hard way from being in these situations, I realised I needed to love myself more and get the heck out!:) God helped me and continues to help me heal my low self esteem and people pleasing ways and cos I know God loves me I don’t try to seek validation from men (this is still a struggle but I’m much better:) Gods love is much better than sacrificing yourself to be with a guy who is commitment phobic and not willing to step up as a man or just using you for sex and comfort. We as women deserve so much better.

@@MeetStephanSpeaks no dramas at all Stephen:) I believe this is a HUGE topic that needs to be addressed in dating culture so thank you for bringing it up. I’ve seen many women and even men cry over the wrong bf/gf as I volunteer online counselling when I can. I’ve studied christian counselling and family therapy:) I’m by no means a Psychologist or anything and it’s not my profession I just volunteer but this is a huge topic in todays hook up or dating culture.. women and men getting hurt on both sides… like emotionally damaged for years over these situations ships etc
I just wanted to finally be married and to be called a wife and a mother but yes exactly, not at this expense! Not this way!
Listening to this makes me realize so many things... Then I regret so much accepting certain things that I had accepted back then. Attachment is indeed the very strong feeling that has held me back now I am embracing my healing process and I can definitely see the growth.
Wow! 🥺🙊
This is so true for us women. We will just sit at a table where love is no longer being served, forgetting that we're naturally emotional beings. We always catch feelings and end up hurt , broken and bitter in the end. The next genuine relationship may suffer as a result. Self sabotage.

@@stephaniedickerson5126 I be wondering the same thing I had this happened to me
I'm a communicator. I've made mistakes where I gave WIFE benefits to a BOYFRIEND/SEXUAL ACQUAINTANCE. I've learned to make communication a priority. For me, discussing where we are after 3-6 months and if we would like to go further. I allow him to determine that once I make my desires known.
Communication is definitely key, thank you for sharing ❤
Faye, my advice is move quicker than that. If a woman isn’t asking about a relationship within 3 months of consistently dating, I assume she obviously just wants to keep it casual…
And after 6 months.. if I’m looking for something serious, you aren’t even in consideration at that point because I’m assuming I’m your backup plan
Thanks!
Well marriage isn't for everyone to fair. But make sure you are on the same understanding when you do sleep with them.
I have no problem with a long-term commitment with intimacy. Honestly I don't think I would do the marriage thing again. I'm up for a long-term commitment.

Love everything about this video. The problem comes in when they are so selfish that they can't be honest about not being ready for a relationship. He came in "ready" yet along the way I had to figure out that in reality he was not ready. Just be honest.
Thank you for sharing, I appreciate your feedback.
Yea but I always ask is that so they want one but then as time goes they don’t feel we are the right one for them and they just then continue doing what they do but not ending it or giving there all?
@@stephaniedickerson5126I completely coming where you coming from, I entered a relationship with a good man but his actions and values didn’t match and i could intuitively felt like that wasn’t his all , we can only allow what we can take and what’s best for us ,so I definitely exited the stage left because as women we deserve some one who wants to lead not someone who you have to push like a child.
Your territorial comment is one of the most brutally honest comments I have ever heard on social media. You are right that too many men like women to be around but not fully commit or marry them.
Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate hearing from you ❤️
Yes but some women are chosen and married from that process. They say no woman wants a man other woman don't want. Better to be picked out of a large pool as the wife than be his only option. If only you want him then he may not be the one.
Thank you for this Stephan. I’ve been thinking for a few weeks now if I’m happy in my ‘situationship’ and I think Its time to face my thruth, set my boundaries with the man I am seeing and do whats best for me. I’ve been doing this mistake over and over and I feel like I deserve someone that will be on the same page as me.
I'm sorry to hear about that, I pray that you heal from all that you have been through, and be able to receive the man who is truly best for you, the man God has for you 🙏 ❤️
I’m literally crying this is what I need to hear I’ve been watching your other video on repeat and now I have this video. Thank you so much
My pleasure ❤
Thanks you so much
Stephan -- You're the BEST1. This video is excellent and covers everything we need to know. Your videos always give a balanced perspective. So often we women want a "relationship" with a man at any cost. A good man knows himself and will bond with the right woman who fits with him. He doesn't play games... Your advice is always on point!
❤ 🙂 Thank you very much, I appreciate your feedback!
I've been there. I had to WALK AWAY!!!
Thank you for sharing, I appreciate your feedback.
IF HE IS MARRIED....RUN LIKE HELL....IF YOU DON'T...YOU WILL TRADE PLACES WITH THE CURRENT WIFE ✌
Most definitely!
He doesn't want you but still wants some of your energy.
Absolutely!
@@MeetStephanSpeaks ❤
and that's the toxicity
Or for an ego boost.
Its giving enegy vampire 🦇😮
Bruh man, action speak louder than words, you are dead on, jealousy doesn't equate to a relationship, it is about control, having my cake and eat it too, and you are not getting a slice of it either or neither, he just want to hold on to you as an "in case" but don't want to commit to you but you BET not go "no where" with anyone else, oh father.. friend, oh, okay... cookie time
Thank you for sharing your thoughts I appreciate your feedback!
I relate to this personally. He said I just want to focus on work, school, getting his life together! I am not ready for a relationship, but I love having you around and I fall into the trap smh.. I know what I want but I am so comfortable with him it scares me to start over with someone new!!
I feel you it definitely isn't an easy situation but you need to focus on doing what is truly best 🙏
I’m in the same situation. I’m going to focus on myself from now on.
If you are not comfortable in a situationship than rethink it. I was just in one as I we both liked each other, good times but how he felt bout a pal was the ending of the situation. Reason why I had always said no I wont be ur gf as we needed to get to know each other more. I never was in a relationship as its alot of talk but no action. Not sure how that works with some. The situation I wanted to eventually travel, go try diff places locally to eat and all. Somethings are nice to do with someone. It is hard to start new with someone.
Girl it’s BS I had this guy tell me this honestly it has nothing to do with a relationship cause there’s people everyday that have more on their plate and are in a relationship ( even married) it’s an excuse I fell for this but the guy lied and waited to tell me this when the 4th month came he was full of it cause in the beginning he agreed to a relationship than he lied and try to say he never said that and made excuses
Give him space but not only that. Withdraw drastically but not entirely. When he feels what he's missing then he'll make a decision one way or another and then you'll know.
Excellent explanation, clarity is very important and if you don’t receive it my advice is to move on. Every one should know what they want and if you’re still undecided and you’re 30 years old or older that’s a red flag 🚩. Be clear or be out ✌️✌️✌️!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts I appreciate your feedback!
Always on point sir! Learned this the hard way, started focusing on developing a closer relationship with the Most High, fasting, not entertaining even the idea of dating, just working on improving myself fully and my eyes have opened up more. We must keep our chastity, fight to keep it, men and women especially with all of this corrupt music, TV shows, etc that bombards us spiritually mentally emotionally and physically. We are human beings and we desire/need love companionship etc. But most of all we need our Lord. We must consistently ask Him for right guidance, forgiveness and help. And we have to put in the work. People come and go, people come, leave then come back and very few stay. The ones that never come back came to teach us, and the ones that stay, we must pay attention. Keep your legs closed Queens. Let him explore your heart, mind, character, what makes you you. Don't let me talk your panties off. He got you flowers, he opens doors, he takes you out, he makes you laugh, he helps you, KEEP LETTING HIM BUT NEVER GIVE UP YOUR PRECIOUS TREASURE! You will know by what he shows you. And how he treats you is how he feels about you. You let him lead. Be consistent in prayer and protecting your heart and safe gaurd your chastity. Sex is very powerful, very beautiful, extremely sacred and our spouses are the only ones that should be getting it. Thank you for this message and reminder Stephan. May the Most High bless and guide us all Ameen.
This would fix the entire dating mess. It would hold men to a higher standard of behavior and keep women from getting used.
I'm going through this right now... just what I needed.
Glad I could help 🙏
@Nautahsha Simms set boundaries. And be the strong one
@Nautahsha Simms you are worth it. ❤️. I'm sure you've learned from what happened. You have 2 choices. Wallow in the pain or become a better version of you. What do you chose?
This is so on point. I've had these feelings for someone that put me in the friendzone. Really hard for me to get over cause i feel they are my soulmate. Ive decided to distance myself. I want his heart not a non-commitment sexual relationship. So I feel crazy cause we haven't had sex and I feel so strongly about him. Thank you for this video....You are so on point.
I'm happy this has been helpful to you, don't forget to share so that others can receive love and healing ❤ 🙏
I am going through the same thing.
Being soulmates is a two- way street though. His being your soulmate, but your not being his is not going to work.
Same
@@atlantasfaithsmom so true🎯 I too got 💔 for the 2nd time by the SAME PERSON😭 This video is so on point! I messed up because I let a so called man tell & show me he dont want more than ONCE🤦🏽♀️ #SillyOfMe
He is not ready and he doesn't want you to move on. He is Narcissistic. Get out of the relationship now.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts I appreciate your feedback!
Story of my life with this guy I been messing with for 7 months …. Smh 🤦♀️
I'm happy this has been helpful to you!
I made sure to get "He’s Lying Sis” And I love that it’s in audiobook, so I can learn to grasp and strive to embrace this same energy. My heart is stubborn and often not prepared for the ugly, hurtful truth..being honest with the situations I find myself in are becoming more easy to understand. This topic/post is 100% of what I need to hear. I have a lump in throat the entire time-yes, but I got to hear this.
Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate hearing from you ❤️
I like your straightforwardness and humor. You are always on point 🔥
Thank you very much I'm happy to hear that 🙌
1. Know your value!!! (Do NOT doubt yourself.)
2. Take yourself and your worth seriously. You need to BE A QUEEN to be treated like one.
3. Don’t give easy access. Access to your energy should be expensive.
4. Do NOT only EXPRESS your boundaries. YOU MUST show them.
5. Always be ready to walk away.
6. Show that you are focused on actions not on words.
7. Have a healthy degree of skepticism.
8. You must be willing to say NO and you must be willing to lose the man, if needed.
9. Never EVER chase a man! A truly worthy woman, does not EVER chase a man.
Giving the same energy that you're getting
is key
and if you don't like that energy
then move on! NOW!
It can be hard
but that's when you need to choose yourself
over the damn illusion/fantasy.
A man who loves a woman will not ignore her, ever, period.
So...
If he ignores me
I will step back
and he will lose me.
Simple. Simple.
Non-dramatic
and uncomplicated.
I don’t,
under any circumstance:
play these childish-abusive-controlling
mind games.
I will only be with a man who values and appreciates me,
and treats me as the Queen, I AM.
(Daughter of the Most Hight; King of kings!)
Because I am a beautiful and kind and divine
and sexy and wise and intelligent and magical woman:
who knows my worth.
Period.
Also,
We create each moment.
This moment contains,
through my focus,
both positive and negative...
I can put my attention on what I lack,
what I don't have,
what traumas I do have etc...
And,
I can put my attention on the calm moment that I am in, NOW,
the food I just ate, and the fact that my body is satisfied, the shelter I do have...
(You get my idea!)
Both are here...
And now.
For the sake of fairness,
I will allow myself to cry my pains, in the moment
if/when they come/arise,
AND
also acknowledge the beauty I still have in my life NOW.
Pain? Yes.
Suffering? Indeed.
And,
also:
wonderous magical divine beauty.
Blessings to you!
Truth.. I keep going through this, the last question hit the nail right on the head! Went from a relationship to nothing, to friends, to fwb, to nothing, etc. it’s a vicious cycle. Only this time I hear. “This is why I’m single”. Or, “This is why I’m staying single”. Do you bro. Cuz that’s what I’m gonna do! ✌🏻 Ty Stephan ❤️
Thank you for sharing, I appreciate your feedback.
Awesome video! You are right! Many of us just can’t handle the platonic sex. Definitely NOT for a woman like me. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
My pleasure ❤
Your timing is amazing. How can one handle a situation where an ex is involved?
Maybe a video in the future ?❤️
Great suggestion, I will add it to my list to get it done!
U may not agree but an x is an x for a reason. R u sure he’s changed??🤔
@@KM-eo8uw What if it deals with the fact that this person may have kids?
@@NiMarieB boy this is a touchy issue. For me I’d rather a man with no children. Reason being often times the ‘child/children mother’ uses the kids as excuse to be calling him every minute even when it’s not important (remember I say often not always) secondly it depends on how old the children are. Let’s say a man has 3 kids and he’s struggling to take care of them; my question is how is he gonna take care of me and our children we r going to be havin together. Also does these kids love you or blame you for their dad leaving their mom? A LOT had to b considered when kids are involved.
Let me share my story. I was dating this guy and he hav 3 kids, the mother wud often leave them alone cause she knows they r going to call their dad n he’s goin to go their to stay with them. The problem with this is that he was livin with me and had to leave us ere alone to go to stay with the kids as the mom wasn’t there. So I ended it cause what kina marriage wud that be?🤷🏻♀️
@@NiMarieB also if u mean that they have kids together; staying in a relationship that’s toxic because of kids is even more toxic as ur teaching ur kids that toxicity is ok.
I am so drained..basically FWB for 1 year and 2 months...I finally let go one month strong. Working on myself and becoming the better version of me.
Some men words doesn't match their actions. He is just playing games and he need to stop acting like a boy and grow up and be a man of his words
You're absolutely right!
If a man said, "I just want to be friends" and then asks you to give him wifey benefits.... He is not worth your time. Walk away as fast as possible. Leave him and let the door slam behind you. You are not a toy to be played with. He does not respect you. These are the kinds that will be cheating.
I clearly understand what you are saying but the grown men need to grow up. The key is too move on and let him continue not to be ready. Let him go.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts I appreciate your feedback!
I have just broke up with my bf because he said he is sure that his feeling for me is only a friendship and cant be more than that. He said it after a year of dating and he was so sure that we will be together for marriage but then he got confuse and choose to leave..😢
Hope you feel better
Very Helpful, Stephan! This video certainly clears up my feeling funny about asking a new person i meet what type of relationship he's looking for, I still ask it. Then If I like the answer, I'll speak to him for a couple of weeks maybe a couple more then ask what he's looking for WITH ME. This answer normally lets me know whether we should continue to get to know eachother or not, sort of never fails. This question sounds simple but it's a loaded one. Luv your posts, grateful for you, thanks!
❤ 🙂 Thank you for watching, I appreciate your feedback!
He said he was not ready for a serious relationship and just want to be friends for now. It broke my heart bc there is something really special between us. I respect his decision but I refuse to be a placeholder and nourish him back to a good place and see him find someone else bc he will be then "ready." I love myself too much to pour my love and attention in a man that does not want me for a serious commitment.
I'm so greatful for this video and I'm planning to go see you in Boston, Stephan!
This is exactly how I feel/what went down.. any updates??
Any updates on this? Super curious.
Very interesting discussion! I would love to hear your take on this story:
I was dating a guy once who told me that he knew I was the person he wanted to marry, but he wasn't ready. He also said that he wanted to be able to fool around with other women but the thought of me fooling around with another guy drove him crazy-- his words. I told him that while I appreciated his honesty, my self worth would never allow me to be in a relationship that had two different sets of rules/rights. I told him that maybe we should break up and take our chances at finding each other again when we were ready. He didn't like that. Nothing else was said.
A few weeks later, I saw him holding hands with another woman. I sent him a letter and broke up and never saw him again. Never had any further discussions about it with him.
He ended up marrying that woman several years later. They are now divorced ( she filed). Before they got married, he would always mention my name to people he met who were from my hometown community or college and say how great I am. His GF ( now ex wife) would even mention me to associates and ask them details about what I was like because her BF would say that I was so perfect ( her words). Weird.
I'm not sure exactly what happened here, but I do know he ended up regretting what happened. He doesn't know that I know he went on to marry the person he cheated on me with. I don't think he realized my value at the time, but has since come to realize it. Unfortunately, it is too late because I will never be a second choice/afterthought or 'option' when something else fails-- particularly since it was someone he cheated on me with.
Ladies, be very careful with men who 'aren't ready'. They may be more ready than you think, but underestimating you as a woman/person, etc. No one should ever allow themselves to be treated as an option or second choice. NO person ( male or female) is worth your self respect and/or dignity.
The last part..that part! You are my emotionally intelligent hero ❤
Yep yep Karma is a biatchhh!
We both wanted comfort, sex and fun after being out of serious relationships. We agreed to be honest if we had attraction to someone else. I could tell he started having feelings before me and I considered it but was trying to be sure it wasn’t me mistaking lust for love. Once I was sure I do love him I told him not necessarily wanting or expecting him to say it back but because it was genuine. We tried to take it bf and gf status but he says he’s not ready because I have so much more than him plus I have 2 young children whose father passed and he doesn’t have any (I’m 35 and he’s 28).
Neither of us want to be sexual anymore because neither of us are overly sexual and have satisfied that desire.
I respect he wants to start fresh and build his own family I just hope he doesn’t get mistreated. Because he is truly one of a kind. He helped me be open to love again, made me willing to be vulnerable again, and showed me so much respect and I truly enjoy his company and conversation(which is so crazy because we have a slight language barrier; his first language is Spanish and I understand it way better than I can speak it but we mainly speak English).
I was initially hurt by us not getting in bf gf status. But my genuine love for him causes me to use my wisdom and not emotions.
If it meant to be it’ll be. I’m grateful for our friendship.
Thank you for sharing, I appreciate your feedback.
oh my gosh girl, you just spoke my situation better than I expressed it. Different language, different counties even for me and a wider age gap but I adore him for many of the same reasons you stated. I just know I need to back away and I'm not sure how/if I can do it. Miss him so profoundly when I try. 🙏🏽
@@DrMargoLomaxD I’ve moved on from the FWB and am in a relationship with someone else now. He asked me to be his girlfriend and is so in love with me. He’s 33
We are in our mid 60's. Dating four months. I love our connection. I told him that I love him, for being a good man. I clarified I'm not in love with him after 4 months. He agreed, he's not in love with me. We are exclusive, and he claims me as his girlfriend. He says I'm perfect for him. He's been married twice, and says he would do it again. I would like to get married again, and I can see myself being married to him. I plan on giving this a year, and pay attention to see if his feelings deepen, if not. Then I will move on...
Thank you for sharing, I appreciate that!
@@MeetStephanSpeaks I'd like to book a session with you! What do I need to do?
I appreciate you so much. I was dealing with someone treating me as a back burner so I held him accountable. I told him that I respect his choice to be friends, but I will not entertain him playing relationship games with me. He was giving me very little effort, no time and just enough attention to keep me hanging on a string as his backup plan. Because of you, I addressed it and told him that I recognize what he is doing and that I will no longer entertain this behavior because he is not pouring nothing into my life and I don’t need to be pacified. It was so liberating to state my worth and that I not willing to settle for this behavior. He called and said he hears me and understand. I told him that most women would settle for this, but I require more from a friend or relationship. Thank you Stephan. I told him I prefer he go figure things and call me at that point.👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
Glad I could help!
Omg..you said right on point cause I was going through the same thing with this guy who I thought things were going somewhere come to find out it was all talk....
This is exactly what I did days ago even before stumbling on thos video. This video was made for me. From start to finish. It's well.
It means I’m going to take as much from you as you’ll give, and give you nothing in return. If he’s not ready ladies, leave him high and dry. Let him be “not ready” all by himself and find a real man.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts I appreciate your feedback!
Thank you for your help and knowledge. Because this man that I was dating just instantly asked me could he move in with me and started trying to control what I do where I’m going, what time and everything, it was driving me crazy 😝… asking me to send him money and ask me to buy him a book called Brainwashed 👀👀👀🤬. 😱 OMG!!!! I just said GOODBYE 👋
Don't to any of the above.
@@BAM4_ I will not…👍
Sounds like he's a hobosexual!! RUN!! That man ain't got nowhere to live!
Too bad. He isnt giving me enough time? Its not even a matter of my happiness, Im just not interested and will get a guy who will keep that intetest in me
I pray that you receive the man who is truly best for you, the man God has for you🙏
It’s just not worth getting into a casual relationship/emotional enmeshment with a man or a friends with benefits situation-ship with men as a christian or a non christian trust me(scientifically and biologically speaking women and men more women are not designed to have casual situations with men or just sex or one night stands, it’s bad for your body/soul and heart) protect your heart/body and soul and don’t get emotionally attached to these men. Date the men that deserve you and are ready for a relationship!! You are worth the love you give to these men, you deserve the love back!! Trust me I know the statistics on these things:)! God bless everyone
Thank you for sharing, I appreciate your feedback and may God bless you as well 🙏
@@MeetStephanSpeaks God wants so much more for our earthly relationships than what we often settle for. Women and men on both sides need to stop hurting each other, it causes long term emotional and psychological damage. The rates of depression and anxiety/suicidality tend to be higher in people in complicated relationship/situationship. Also I think we all need to learn to communicate better as men and women and set healthier boundaries and standards for our lives:) From Jess in Australia 🇦🇺
Life isn't all statistics. Each woman and man is different but it's true certain characteristics are similar. Situationships have also lead to great marriages. Its easy to say no sex to marriage but you are making a harder road for yourself. All my married friends had sex with their wives before marriage and are doing well as far as I know. Not saying to do it just saying you are making your path to marriage tougher
Oh thank you for this timely message, God bless🙏
Thank you very much and may God bless you as well 🙏
Exactly! Women do confuse that a lot...when a guy cuffs you by being possessive and selfish and territorial....but that doesn't equate to him wanting you and loving you like that. Cmon now. Thats why I tell women that all the time. So Thank You for telling them again bro.
Great advice, keep spreading the encouragement!

See that's it right there. I wish I would not have wasted my early 30s on a guy who said one thing but he sure did act like we were in relationship and didn't want me to see anyone else. I finally had to bounce.
Thank you for sharing, I appreciate your feedback.
Same here wasted my 30's 🤦🏾♀️
not wasted! time well spent for the future 🌅
I needed this 💓💓thanks for the warning
What if a guy tells you he just wants to be friends after a mutually agreed casual relationship. He said he sensed that I was getting emotionally involved and the last thing he wanted to do was hurt me because Im "the best person he's ever known" so he friend zoned me and he has been a good non sexual friend during some my toughest life moments which has only made me love him more. if I'm honest I could go back to casual but I'm trying to be fully honest with myself about what I want and whats possible. I can't speak what I want but I know I'm way past emotionally involved. I have not had someone treat me in word & deed with so much authéntic, honest emotional care. Lord help me!
🙏 I hope you're able to do what is truly best.
I pray that you receive the man who is truly best for you, the man God has for you 🙏
Wow thanks so much for this video. I just got out of this situation. You are speaking straight facts. Keep these videos coming!
❤ 🙂 Thank you for watching, I appreciate your feedback!
Good stuff! I believe men underestimate the value women place on honesty. Men lie for various reasons, one of the more popular reason is that “she wouldn’t be able to handle the truth”. This is so not true, I respect a man so much for his truth, whether the news is good or bad. I lose respect & trust fast when I’ve found out that he lied to me, the relationship is pretty much over at that point.
Thank you for sharing, I appreciate your feedback.
Honestly, you couldn't have said that better.
Because someone desires or say they care doesn't mean that they respect or are ready to be the person you want them to be towards you.
Thank you for bringing clarity to the issue of men not wanting to commit. I now know what to watch out for. My time and energy is valuable i can't afford to waste it on a man's insecurity. Thanks again.💕
I'm happy this has been helpful to you.
You want to act single? Imma act single too. And not give you the option to sleep with me. Literally Just date. Or not at all. I think sometimes we forget that we are wives, and let these men distract us because we want him so bad. While diminishing our values and desires. I stopped playing that game with men once I remembered who I was as a woman.
Thank you for sharing, I appreciate that!
You will never get a genuine apology from a man who is insecure, arrogant and prideful. Besides, how can you apologize to someone when you always feel you are right? Sorry without change in action is manipulation and they feel entitled to abuse you and come back to you whenever they choose to. HATE says " I don't care how my actions is affecting you and my mission is to DESTROY you". " I'm sorry but you think I am lying." That isn't an apology. HATE isn't SORRY! PERIOD.
Treat me like an OPTION I will treat you like you were never the ONE.
Thank you for sharing, I appreciate your feedback.
Whew! This is a powerful message! 15 years on and off! I wasted a lot of time! But lesson learned! I said no! I won’t go back, I can’t go back! I GOT OUT! I will wait for the right one! ‼️‼️‼️

I HAVE TO WATCH THIS VIDEO 3x so it can get drilled into my head
Glad to hear that, thank you for your response!
This video came to me at a right time lol cause I’ve went through something like this with the same guy 4x already & we haven’t spoke since October because of the same reason I wanted to have a relationship with him but he wanted me to wait but wasn’t showing me that he wanted me more like a girlfriend. Long story short I can see that him & I aren’t compatible. But yet he still has me on social media 🤷🏻♀️
🙏 I hope he reaches the point of truly doing what is best!
2years of off and on and he is in PRISON, I don’t ever ask him for anything, I love him and we just spend time and enjoy one another. Talk everyday, etc. recently he said something about men hitting on me in public and me needing to wear a ring so men know I’m’ taken’ and I told him I’m not taken because he won’t commit to me. He called me crazy and stopped talking to me. The last year has been so amazing with him being locked up and just the time together. I never asked him for a single thing. Sighhhh…. But yeah, even when he was out I wouldn’t have sex with him or let him touch me at all. He knows that. But we’re absolutely in love. He’s crazy about me. He’s just an idiot. I’m absolutely lost
Honestly, I don’t want to love my life without him. There is no one else for me, I know, I’ve been alone for five years, but I’ve been completely in love with him since we met. I’m alone with or without him, honestly
