      They're prolly not mature enough to tell u you're not what they're looking for which should be the 1st question u ask them upon 1st meeting. Wish I did that but now I will next time around if I do which I doubt. Can't deal with with these hassels. Better off staying single & content. Dating is nothing but playing insecure mind games.

    Ladies,
    STOP making excuses for men who do not know what they want. Do shadow work, practice self love, go to therapy if need be. Put yourself first before any insecure or immature man. Even if he is a “great guy”, the moment you start second guessing his feelings for you, he is not the one. Accept it and move on. Open yourself up to meet the person who truly values and will feel blessed to have you.
    Waiting and trying is degrading.

      @@metamorphosisjewel233 I used to wonder this as my exes were all violent and abusive. My ex husband even had the nerve to excuse his bad behaviour by telling me that i was the common denominator! ie it was 'my' fault he and the rest hit me!
      After a couple of years watching channels like this and researching Narcissism to understand the dynamics of my family members . ..I decided that no more was I going to accept or toletate bad behaviour from anyone.
      People who truly love you will not continually abuse or hurt you!
      I used to give people 3 chances. ..then i realised how ludicrous this was! One mistake, one warning gut feeling even a tiny one and I was gone!
      i joined an online dating site Dec 2019 and weirdly circumstances were such that i only met two men. As they all happened to be visiting parents or cancelled dates. Both very nice but the first messed me about with dates, asking me out but not sorting out the third date. Everything was said by text message. 3 weeks of waiting was too long for me and a full 3 days of texting and compliments whilst he was off work but no date. He only lives 10 mins drive from me.... said he would have got "around to asking me out eventually"...well tough luck.. too late.
      The other is my wonderful boyfriend of almost a year who treats me so well and with respect. Everything is just so nice and easy and he is so reliable.
      I never had to worry about him calling or making a date in the early days.
      I am 56 and he is 3 years younger.
      I am very happy and even my health has improved.
      Beware tho there are men who troll sites like this and tell you that you are too old etc or be abusive to the women leaving comments but take no notice...the only thing that you are doing 'wrong' is not valuing yourself enough to walk away from bad behaviour.
      Everyone attracts the wrong people now and again and kind people do get used but don't keep allowing it.
      At some point in our lives we were conditioned to accept and put up with bad behaviour. Please dont get to your 50s like i did before valuing yourself. And if you are...don't worry...plenty of time to become used to someone who sticks to their values and only surrounds themselves with the kind of person we wish to be.
      You are obviously not conceited or you would not even consider it being your fault.
      Well...it isnt!
      Its not a sin to be a kind person but it is a waste of your time and energy to continue to put up with people who treat you badly.
      So all the best for the future. There are plenty of good uns out there. .but you only need find one. Value you yourself and he will find you. Just put yourself out there and have fun.

It does being out the worst in me. But like it’s just bad manners. If they guy is freaked out, he needs to tell you, if the guy is worried about commitment and has been leading you down the garden parth. He needs to communicate. I have never ghosted and there is no reason to do it. This is just excuses. I get scared in love too, we all do. You need to learn to control that fear. If he can’t do that, nope not mature enough.

    This reminds me of a concept I heard about called “the wave.” The wave (of distancing) that can happen even with good men or ourselves, where we have a moment of needing to pull away and regroup, for some reason, or just because we have big feelings. I like the idea of not overreacting to that (in self or other). But like you said, it’s good to demote the person when that’s happening. If they come back ready for the big relationship, great (if you’re still interested). But I agree that ghosting is always a bad sign. Mature adults don’t do that.

      I enjoyed your advice just what I needed. I am in a long distance relationship. . My guy was a high profile guy and I never in my wildest dreams thought a man of his class and integrity will behave like a spook Everyday he would make me feel soo special and let me know he was crazy about me. I received endless pics and videos. I really starting loving this man. I had not been in a relationship since my divorce fourteen years ago. I trusted him respected him and was very proud of him. He told I am the full package and I am everything a man is looking for in a woman. He just went quiet and ignored my messages. Anyway I became worried and missed him and kept looking at my phone dropped a line or more out of concern. After two days he answered . Not in the sweet way he would normally chat. He was away a few days and retuning to his place of work. He wrote, On a flight back . "I am tired. Hope you had a great Sunday. ". Not a word about boo or baa. . That's it . We were chatting just over four months. I refuse to answer. So glad I watched this video. Even good men are creepy..

Either way, you are the prize. It’s not you, it’s him. Life brings mental traumas that give us all pause. We all need time to think. Men need their cave time to re-group. Space is healthy. Hold your frame, stand in your sovereignty and see space as your ally. Having empathy and a listening ear can save a friendship.

Until around august he told me to leave him the F alone to his shit life and that he wanted something with me but plans didn’t fall in place and he wasn’t in a position to be in any relationship.

    • @nonalolagirl
      @nonalolagirl 3 года назад +5

      Update: I ignored most advice and trusted my instincts. A little over a month ago was when I decided to give him a sign that I was interested still, despite a month of ghosting from him. I sent him some music because that was our thing when we were together. He liked it and said we should talk and he felt bad about everything, ashamed of his behavior and he missed me so much. He disappeared for days with no word after that because it was the holidays and he has a very demanding job. I got impatient and told him how I felt about literally everything, the budding relationship, the ghosting, ect. That's when he said he got scared by his feelings. He had never experienced anything like that and didn't want to hurt me. So we didn't talk for a month since I posted this comment but I kept getting this feeling that we both were missing out on a great experience with each other. I tried to wait in that month for him to get some courage and reach out to me, because I don't want to be with a cowardly man and decided I would never reach out again and I would fully move on in the new year. Everything else about him is perfect besides that he finds his feelings for me frightening and he can't speak up about them.
      I focused on letting go and acceptancing of situations beyond my control. It was working but I still couldn't shake thoughts of him completely. My mind was letting go but my body was depressed. I finally reread our last messages and realized it looked like I wanted nothing to do with him. I knew he was thinking he should just leave me alone. So I decided to be crazy once again and message him, possibly scaring him off forever. After all that time of us both not talking to each other, I told him that I wanted to be with him. To my surprise he said he wanted to be with me too and we spent new years eve together. So far things are going strong in the new year. I don't feel attached to him any longer, I no longer feel like I can't live without him. That ghosting period and then that month where we both didn't talk allowed me to come back stronger as the person I want to be. He calls me multiple times a week now and asks to hang out. He tells me how he feels about me constantly. It's only been a week and a half but he seems to like me even more now. And I finally am functioning with logic and have peace and know I'll be fine even if things don't work out. Overall, Knox's over arching message is 100% true. Do not give more than you're getting in any relationship and never allow yourself to feel like you can't live without someone. Leave if your boundaries are being broken and you're being mistreated. I happened to meet a very good guy who checks off all of my boxes and I knew him well enough to know that I unfortunately had to do things a bit differently in my situation than the advice given here, since I knew it best. Maybe compromising on my desire to have the man be more aggressive in the beginning will come back to bite me later. But I know I become more feminine and let men take the lead when we finally get past the fear of confessing our desires to be together, so I'm never aggressive in the actual relationship and I don't have to compromise fully.

But I'll suspect I'll get tired and move on if he makes me feel like I have to be the aggressor again. When we're together he's not like that at all. All of the texting when hes on 14hr shifts and when I can't see him for 4 or more days can make things weird from time to time. Luckily things are still good despite the crazy hours.

    This is exactly what has happened to me. This put everything into perspective and I realistically think now he wasn't ready for a relationship and he wasn't over his ex. Also, was immature.

    So but why such a great guy ghosts in the end of the day? Isn’t he supposed to tell what his problem is or worst case communicate that he does not want the relationship to go on? In case he is really so amazing and good guy..

      That's also my question. He is a good guy but why not communicate that the things between us is over instead of ghosting? I'll glady accept painful words than nothing at all. 😑

      His actions show he's not a good guy though so 🤔

    Leaning back is natural and to be expected at some point. Many men: rest, unwind, process, evaluate and strategise in private. But leading on and then ghosting is cowardly.

    Thank you so much, Geert. You really help act as a voice of reason when I feel like "freaking out" due to this exact situation. The pain is real, no doubt. But your insight restores some of the lost confidence and disempowerment felt from being ghosted or ignored after opening up to the man I was dating...."this makes me like you less, of course" My mantra during this time!

    Any man that is interested in you will pursue you not ghost you. If he ghosts you he’s not interested in you and it’s time to move on.
