On today's episode of Ask Nick our first caller is in a rotating pattern with the same guy: they hook up, they try to define the relationship, and then they break up. She, however, keeps reaching out to him when she ends other relationships to hook up and needs to understand both of their choices. Our second caller was thrown into a long distance relationship because of school and is feeling like she is 100% in the relationship but feels like her partner is becoming distant. Third, we speak with someone who is divorced and jumping into the dating scene but is nervous that she is scaring people away with the expectations she is putting on people. Finally, cheating was the catalyst that broke our last caller up with her boyfriend and she is still trying to figure out what could make her feel better about the situation.

Today on the Viall Files, Nick sits down once again with friend-of-the-show, the inspirational Tyler Merritt. Tyler and Nick don't hold back, diving right into Tyler's new book, I Take My Coffee Black, where he recounts hilarious stories from his life while weaving in lessons on privilege, the legacy of lynching and sharecropping, and so much more. In their raw conversation, Tyler shares with us his recent cross with cancer and some of the gut-wrenching moments he experienced while facing the truth of his diagnosis. The two go on to discuss how to keep anger in perspective, what Tyler does to protect his peace, and about the honest conversation he had with his new friend Chris Harrison. Tyler shows us how he defaults to love and why the question should always be, "how can I love this person better?" Grab a tissue, this one will tug at your heart strings.

Today on another edition of Ask Nick, we begin with someone who is into her neighbor and thinks she's been obvious about it but he still hasn't taken the bait. Should she be more direct or is he just not into it? Next, we talk to someone who is having trouble bringing up issues with her boyfriend for fear of being 'dramatic' or that it will turn into a fight. She learns, though, that the real struggle might be the power dynamic and that what she really needs is to be honest with herself. Then, we talk to someone who was kissed by her best friend who is now avoiding her. She's interested, but doesn't want to mess up their friendship. Finally, we talk to someone who caught her boyfriend lying to her and promptly broke up with him, but they work together and she still has feelings for him. Is it worth forgiving and trying again? You'll have to listen to find out. "Your boyfriend is not interested in being a boyfriend. He's interested in having a girlfriend, but there's a big difference."

On today's episode of Ask Nick we start with talking about cheating. Our first caller's boyfriend cheated on her with his ex who is still in their friend group. She forgave him but she is around this ex on a regular basis and is finding it hard to not have anxiety about the situation. Next, we speak to someone who considers herself to be the D.U.F.F. (designated ugly fat friend) in her friend group and is finding it hard when they are out together because she does not get acknowledged by guys when her friends are there. Third, we speak with someone who has defined a relationship after 5 months of dating but the lack of communication is a struggle and she is questioning whether or not they are being fully honest with each other about what they want. Lastly, we speak about healing and love-bombing in an on-and-off again relationship, when speaking about past relationships and trauma brings jealously into a relationship that our caller keeps trying to sustain on technicalities.

On today's episode of Ask Nick we begin by speaking with someone who says she is "highly emotional" and working on it in therapy, but doesn't think that her boyfriend should poke at her insecurities when they get into a fight. Second, we have a woman who's friendship with a guy has grown into something more, but he is moving to a different country and after a month of starting to date each other he wants to have a long distance commitment but she is unsure if it is the right decision for them. Next, a boyfriend makes plans that don't include his girlfriend over a holiday weekend which included her birthday, so in turn she uninvited him to her birthday, and now she is wondering if she was being too spiteful. Finally, we chat with a woman who spent time with someone in her friend group on a vacation and she thinks there may be something there but she has yet to hear from him and is unsure if she should make the first move. "He wants something to be certain of, knowing he is going into a world of uncertainty."

On todays episode of The Viall Files we are joined by the amazingly dynamic duo that is Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan. Most you will know them from The Lord Of The Rings but they are spending some time peeling back the layers of friendship in their new podcast The Friendship Onion. Nick speaks with the guys a little bit about their iconic work but really gets into the hard hitting topics like Billy's knees being weak cause his butt is weak, naming cars, dating, marriage, even venomous insects. These friends can take a topic from zero to 60 in the most randomly enjoyable way so be ready to be entertained this episode.

Today we recap the Bachelorette with Nick's one and only, Natalie Joy. Recording from Nick's childhood home in Wisconsin, they cover all of Natalie's hot takes on the season so far, Natalie's thoughts on Bach Nation from a newcomer's perspective, and this week's fairly drama-free episode. Together they dive into Blake's character arc thus far, why Andrew is perfect, Hunter (and his sinuses) emerging as a potential villain, and Greg's resting sad face. Nick also gets some insider details from Wells on Bach Ball, and they discuss why they appreciated Blakes response to Katie's sex-positive backstory. Oh, and did we mention we love Andrew? You won't want to miss this recap with these two. "This was a Hunter-percent a drama rose."

On today's episode of Ask Nick we first speak with a woman who is struggling with her husband's new jealousy when it comes to her co-workers of the opposite sex. Our second caller had a baby and her husband who originally wanted to have more than one child has since decided he would not like to have any more children. She still wants a bigger family and now doesn't know how to handle this without either of them feeling some resentment. Third, we chat with someone who finds someone she likes on apps, the dating is great, and then as soon as it is time to define the relationship, they flake. Finally, a woman is concerned about her sister-in-law getting married to the wrong person and doesn't know how to help open her eyes since he is basically the only guy she has ever known.

Today on The Viall Files we are joined by The Bachelorette herself, Katie Thurston. Katie shares with us what we didn't see when it came to Tre & Thomas and why she used the word "unkind" upon his exit. We find out more about Blake sliding into her DM's before coming on the show and who she thought the person coming in could be. Then Nick takes some time to get to know Katie a little bit more away from the show and we learn more about what makes this strong woman, strong.

Today we are recapping The Bachelorette with the one and only Dave Holmes. Nick and Dave break it all down from Thomas's exit, the mob mentality on the show, Andrew S's comments, and the return of Blake! We even take a look at some of the guys instagrams to see who is promoting their time on the show and perhaps is being a little contradictory from what they are saying on the show. Who do they really think was "ostrasicized" and "de-monsterized"? It's a recap you will not want to miss ahead of our interview with Katie herself tomorrow.

On today's episode of Ask Nick we first speak with someone who has been with her boyfriend for 7 years. After having 2 kids together she wants to get married, but he is happy with the way things are. Second, we speak with someone who is in a good relationship, but after a year of dating he still does not want to meet her family or introduce her to his and says he is not ready for commitment. Third, we speak with someone who posted her view on a political issue and then got a text from her boyfriend that he was taking his stuff and leaving. Unfortunately, it turns out it's an 8 year toxic relationship with deeper wounds that need some serious help and healing. Finally, we chat with someone who is wondering how she can have more success dating because she may be writing people off too soon thinking there are red flags where there may not be.

On today's episode of Ask Nick our first caller started "dating" someone she respected who was really well known in their industry but turned out not to be who she thought he was. Next, we speak with a single mom who stopped speaking with a guy because he was not ready to be serious.

Third, we have a woman who received a snap from the guy she was dating that had a message saying he had another girlfriend; turns out the other girlfriend was putting him on blast. Sadly, she was not the only one as she dug into the story more and more. Last, we speak with a woman who wants the guy she is seeing to give up his dating apps but at the same time she is not ready to be his girlfriend.

On today's episode of Ask Nick we start with a caller who is a virgin at 33 years old and, after experiencing trauma, is super cautious about dating. Nick helps her come to a realization about her fear of saying 'no' and how that is affecting her life. Next, we speak with someone who suffers from generalized anxiety disorder and her anxiety causes her to talk herself down in situations and makes it so she is unable to trust her instincts when it comes to dating. Our third caller just got married and her husband has 2 children with 2 different exes. She is finding it hard dealing with the emotions that comes with her new role was a step-mom and understanding the appropriate boundaries in the these relationships. Our last caller is dealing with the her first situationship; she tried to define the relationship with her guy thinking that he was going to be on the same page and, to her surprise, he was not. "That's a red flag if he gets weirded out by labels."

Today on The Viall Files we are joined by the model, actress, mom, and now podcaster, Molly Sims. Molly's new podcast, called Lipstick On The Rim, talks all beauty and health needs. We chat about parenting, soccer mom-ing, getting married and having children later in life, and how dating can just suck sometimes. Nick and Molly are two friends catching up, and have a conversation about being grown ups and how what they have experienced in life got them to where they are today in relationships, career, and perspective, and how that will effect their futures in all of those areas. "Something to do , somewhere to be, someone to love."

It is Monday which means it is time for Ask Nick. On today's episode we start with someone who is dating someone who says they are in a relationship but does not want to fully commit because he still wants to hook up with other women. Our next caller was cheated on by her boyfriend after being accusatory toward her, and she wants to know what could she have paid attention to to see it coming. "It is messy" is the best way to describe our next call- and how she describes it herself. Lastly, we speak with someone who feels like the guy she has been speaking to on a dating app makes her feel like he has cooled off on her as soon as she started to get invested. "Tell yourself the truth, charming, confident, good looking doesn't mean great boyfriend."

Today on The Viall Files we have one of our favorite conversations with Sheila Kelley. Sheila is not only an actress you may know from shows like The Good Doctor, but also a Feminine Embodiment Leader. She is the Founder of S Factor which is featured in the Netflix documentary Strip Down, Rise Up. In the documentary and in her classes, Sheila helps women regain their erotic energy and become comfortable in their skin. S Factor is a practice that brings you home to your body, awakening confidence and sensuality, through movement and community with others looking for the same thing. Nick and Sheila talk about being comfortable with your sexuality, embracing your erotic energy, how women should start knowing their body, and letting your body move the way it was supposed to. In doing that you may find your purest sense of strength and self. "How about, lets dance on a pole and free our sexual desire."
