When a guy you’re not into hits on you, what should you do? You don’t want to waste precious time in a lame conversation and, worse, you don’t want to give him the wrong idea that he has a chance with you. But wait—before you give him the cold shoulder, there’s something you need to know. How you handle this situation could have a huge impact on whether that hot guy across the room you’ve had your eye on ends up approaching you, or dismissing you altogether.

It’s the question every single woman dreads. Even if the guy asking means it as a compliment (“How is it that someone great like you doesn’t have a boyfriend already?”) it’s still a loaded question and if you don’t answer it skillfully you could end up sending the wrong message that you’re desperate, jaded, or undesirable. In this episode of LOVE Life I’m giving you the exact words to say to communicate that you are high value, in demand, and any man would be lucky to win you as his girlfriend.

It’s the modern dilemma all daters must face: “When should I change my Facebook status from ‘single’ to ‘in a relationship?’ And how do I bring it up to my guy without looking needy?” I’ve got the answer for you in today’s LOVE Life, and I give you a clever way to say it that actually shows your loyalty and encourages him to change his status without ever having to ask him to do it.

Here’s a little secret about men: More often than not, we want to be in a committed relationship. We just want to believe that it was our idea in the first place. That’s why putting pressure on a guy or “selling” him on the idea of exclusivity will only push him away. In today’s episode I’m going to hand you the exact words to say to a guy to let him know you’re interested in something more serious without sounding like an ultimatum. This allows you to show your standard and send the subtle message that if he doesn’t make up his mind he risks losing you forever. Chances are, after this talk, HE’LL be the one asking YOU for the commitment. (He’ll only think it’s all his own idea!) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You’ve just started seeing a guy you’re really into. You just can’t get enough of each other. You spend night and day together. You cancel plans with friends so you don’t miss a chance to see him. Before you know it, you’ve got a toothbrush and a drawer of clothes at his place, and you’re wondering whether to say “I love you” (even though it’s only been a whirlwind few weeks). Then suddenly, out of the blue, he starts ignoring your texts and phone calls. He ditches plans with you to go out with the guys. You can feel the shift: he’s starting to pull away from you. In today’s LOVE Life I’m going to explain exactly WHAT is going on inside his head, WHY this is happening, and HOW you can get through this tricky phase with your relationship intact. I’ll even give you a script of what to say to reverse the situation, create more attraction, and make your relationship even stronger than it was before.
