17 Pieces of Texting Advice That Lead to Commitment

[@pix1chick]

"Respond to your reality, not to his reasons." The best advice for those low-investment time-wasting guys. SO GOOD!!

[@obtuseangler768]

You don't need to be like that! I'm watching this not because I'm into texting or online dating, I'm here because I'm trying to decipher what a woman was thinking when she texted. Women don't like investing in men either. I take care of myself so I must be shallow and like to sleep with lots of bimbos right?😂

[@zmcleod]

And for low investment time wasting gals

[@realitylime4896]

There are nice guys, like me, who deal with interim the ladies too.

[@clarity1984]

I swear, hearing that made me realize so many things.

[@iamcannabus]

My question is, how do you know that your reality is your reality and not a fantasy? Not trying to be hurtful in any way, genuinely just something I like people to think about

[@KarmaCifer]

As a dominant woman that usually does the chasing, the advice on not compensating over the lack of interest and laziness of the other person is really good. It's incredible how the things switch when you start tuning into their same level of energy. Very useful to avoid man-childs and people looking for a mom instead of an equal partner.

[@WorldTraveler29]

Why do we need to play all these strategic games? Why can't we all just be transparent about our feelings & desires and just enjoy each other's company? Dating/relationships have become exhausting 😕

[@cocohitchman3209]

Texting is generally where it fails even when the dates are going well😅. I’m starting to elevate to phone calls as it’s more intimate and vulnerable it’s better quality of communication. Texting ruins building a real connection

[@hannahmason6742]

Good point and glad it’s working out for you. I will bear it in mind and try and be brave in the future

[@ShyBabyxoxo]

Exactly. You can’t build a real connection via text in my opinion. I can see using it some of the time but phone calls, voice clips and video chat should be used to bridge the gap in between in person dates.

[@cocohitchman3209]

Calls or even video calls are definitely are better than texting but yes these are fillers and just check-in’s. You should be meeting up for dates/activities in public places not their home. Because the call/text becomes emotional less boring after a while if ur not spending time together . That’s a common failure in the connection not progressing.

[@paulroberts841]

I like to let her talk about herself 70 - 80% of the time, and let her ask about me so she feels listened to. Which is an element that is generally missing from later stages of relationships. The one I recently started talking to has proper blown me away with how much she wants to know about me to the point where it's naturally almost 50-50.

Well, in my case it was footprints. I had asked this guy to every now and then be the first one to say hi. He was the type not to initiate a conversation but then keep chatting for hours, sending photos of himself and his surroundings. A few days later (of silence, as I was not going to initiate any more conversations) he sent 👣👣👣👣👣👣👣. Just that. I asked him what that was and he said "I'm leaving my footprints everywhere. Applause". I swear, some guys...

[@rhinoskin7550]

​​​​​@@danzilthard.7248Dan is correct. Trying to open up will undoubtedly lead to a woman leaving because now, he's unstable with his feelings.. Then, that happens over and over and over.. so instead of getting practice to become better, we are rejected. That's how I've been trained and I wanted to believe 2 people could help make life better for each other. I still want to believe it but the reality is currently saying otherwise. I will only be of value when I am healed, have enough emotional strength to internalize everything, and can provide financially. As a man, wanting to be kind, nice, helpful, compassionate, etc doesn't get a guy anywhere with men or women. Men have incentive to be jerks, it's fucked up. When a woman gets emotional or is struggling, 5 dudes wanna save her. A girl I was dating needed to move a travel trailer that was stuck in the mud. 3 other guys and I were there to help this woman who "doesn't need a man".. Who finally got her out? A man whom provided for his wife who had a jeep with a winch.. there are exceptions, no doubt but more often than not.. I'd pay to see 3-5 women rush in to help a guy out with something just to repair myself 😂

You can integrate "games" in a way that is completely authentic. An inauthentic game is eg refusing to answer texts timely to look important. but it's authentic to delay responding if you ARE busy. notice that the tips Hussey is giving here are tips on how to show more of your authentic self. more sides of you. more flavourful. and more expressive of what you want/need. nowhere here did Hussey tell you to lie or trick someone.

[@alenaadamkova5322]

People feel most connected whe they feel heard. They feel most loved, when they feel connected. If she feels heard she will want commited longterm relationsip and also offer him listening. The same is with customers. If they feel heard, they always come back. They see a genuine interest. Woman feels loved the most, when she feels heard, therefore she is inspired to listen.....because she realizes on the other side of phone isnt just some "artificial robot" If man feels heard he feels loved the most. If their kids feel heard, they will listen because they feel loved and it inspires them to share ideas. "fake nice men" seek short term pleasure, or approval, from customers or wife, without listening. "genuine nice men" offer listening and communication and mutual respect. You seek a genuine partner but make sure when they offer genuine listening, or genuine texts that you are able to share a genuine ideas, so they see your true personality, so they react to your genuine personality, not to "a fantasy" self. (the fantasy of some tv show) only then you realize you have connection, because they react to your true personality, and you react to their true personality. Maybe humor is also a good indicator that the person is genuinelly interested, that isnt looking for a perfect answer all the time. So first listen to your thoughts, without judgment. It gives you love and empathy from yourself and to change some habits. because when you dont judsge yourself you changhe habits much more easily. and then you are able to listen other people, so they feel heard, loved and happy and maybe they notice not just their flaws but also the good qualities about themselves. they see that you dont judge their flaws, or that they dont judge your falws because often flaws can be short term thing and people learn new things.

[@GirlWandering]

Just ended a 4 month thing with someone who was terrrible texter. It turned into a mind game. THey just didnt give me much. I should have been more upfront about what I wanted and tried to instigate more. I could have lead the convos to have them be more vulnerable with me. Other issues caused the end (their family member passing away too) but there just wasnt a strong emotional connection. Its good to know this now. Its amazing what you put up with when you like someone. As soon as it ends you can see the forrest for the trees

[@Jayl__]

The editing is superb wow! You’ve really up your game these days. I’ve been married but somehow this got suggested to me. I have bought your previous program about texting. It works and it was more fun for myself too. When you’re taking texting lightly and allow yourself for honesty, flirting and being a bit more assertive, it get things going and you can filter the men to the most potential.

You act like you are a prize. Why this entitled mindset of 'giving a man chances'? Where does this stem from? How about stop acting so delusional and just ask someone out from the start if you are into him instead of 'waiting' for some nonsense reason you've been thought. You are not special.

At this point, if something ends sooner rather than later, Im happy about that.

You can't build an entire relationship through texts, it's a bridge of communication/stay in touch with your love one and depending the type of situation texts work. Is important to identify if is long distance relationship or your traveling and can't see them, communication via texts is fine. In all situations real interest you make the time for it, including phone calls, videocalls or even see them in person. Also is very important to know the other person in how they communicate and express themselves.

I give him hints I'd like to have a man like him (in case he is shy) when he reveals something nice about his personality. But when I do it, he doesn't reply for week even tho I see him online.... I go on other dates too, don't wait for him but - how to date when around 40? It's sooo hard.

So why aren't you straight forward confronting him, in a polite, respectful but curious way (cause ya Wanne know/NEED more clarity goddang!) With this situation that's been going on for some time, I guess 🙄 You know how I feel about you. I've literally said it even! I am interested in you in a romantic, serious way. Are you interested in me that way? Cause I need more clarity from you. And see what he responds 🤷 It's as simple as that, brave, beautiful, strong woman that you are, that should be no effort 😏😉 Don't stay afraid of the answer... To avoid discussing important issues with someone. It IS something that NEEDS to be done, otherwise it wouldn't bother you 😕... You deserve to know so ya can finally let go of that hovering fear that's always there! Keeping your mouth shut 😔 Even if your worst fear, rejection by him, comes true.... How unfortunately and disappointing it wil be ... You no longer live in fear! 🤗 Truth comes out, one way or another, sooner or later, Why prolonge your path of agony for peed sake?! Don't punish yourself that EXTRA , when you're already having it emotionally very hard... Stop te confusion And put an immediate hold 🛑 on letting your insecurity be fed, my love. ❤❤❤ You ARE brave You WILL get through this Emotions pass... 😇 Not one stays long and always.

[@gemmahart3985]

I think love is like Grace - it falls upon you - and when it does - you don’t need any advice. Whenever I turned to someone for an advice it was a wrong man, or wrong feelings and wrong connection. When I had a beautiful relationship I could write better text messages and my humour and attraction was on top, my intuition kicked in and it all flowed naturally, playfully and beautifully. Not only from my side but also from his. However, in the degenerated world of modern dating - we do need advice to protect ourselves, rather than find love. Love will find whoever is searching with an open heart.

I dont text at all. I tell them I only engage in Phone conversations or in person dates. You will weed out all the play around boys so fast.

Unfortunately with #1 I do have to delay message back sometimes because I am in the unique situation where I always have immediate access to my phone. I work for myself. If I text back immediately every single time, especially if I am just starting to get to know someone, I'll look desperate or eager. I vary texting back either immediately or wait as long as 3 or 4 hours. I also try to keep the momentum going if I respond immediately and he answers back right away too. I'll continue to answer back and forth right away to keep up the live conversation.

Just text back. Talk . No games. U'll get the result no matter what. It is what it is! As simple as that.

If you want to be in a reasonably good, long-term relationship - this is all helpful. But I have always wanted to find love. Love is more important for me than a relationship and family. Finding true love is not easy.

[@a.v.6158]

This guy is a genius as well as very entertaining

[@tsuyu1181]

I love that I found this channel. ❤ Wish I found this earlier but what happened happened. 😊

[@CW-fh2ql]

I LOVE your humor!!!

[@mandyinseattle]

So many good points, and these can be applied to any kind of relationship.

[@adanaryjacques7776]

I agree. In and out of text conversations 👌

[@campo138]

So I’ve seen Matthew’s videos pop up on my feed from time to time and have stumbled onto a few of his shorts. This is the first full length video I have seen of his. I slowly getting back into the dating game, but I wonder if his videos apply to both men and women or is his target audience only women. I ask because men and women have different approaches when it comes to dating. So far he makes some great points. I just want to make sure I’m getting what’s right for me as a man. But so far so good Matt.

Hahaha absolutely loved the Twilight Phone segment. Had me cracking up throughout 😂

[@clairewolf6013]

This video is a masterful combination of all of your fun longtime inside gags... We've got monkey and the lip synchronization. The Twilight phone... Love it!

[@kimmicake5570]

HAHAHHA omg the scenes with the person shooting from the bush crack me up so bad 😂😂😂

[@brittanyhunter9793]

I delete the guy / conversation after 24 hours of no contact. I find myself doing a lot of what you're proposing...but I'm here to see if there's anything else I can add to my messaging / dating style that will help me work my way through dating and into a relationship.

[@josephkush1032]

I can be completely happy with someone's company, even in silence

[@meloniebotley1486]

This was informative and good.

An ad for St. Jude's hospital came up with this video. It's the first time I see them mention HTRT. It's heart breaking to want to know how a child with that is doing yet needing to keep your distance from a family friend that no longer communicates with you. The father is the best friend of an ex who at times was abusive. A 12 year relationship that was never right, never whole. Now I'm repeating similar mistakes with a new 1 year relationship that feels even more empty, even though the first 3 months were on fire. Never felt more passionate, then after those 3 months it all came crashing down when I did. I fell at his place and slammed my head against the wall. (Fell when getting up, my leg was numb and gave out) He didn't react well (he thought I was in denial from a possible MS diagnosis) and never took me to the hospital. Yet I still stayed for a year after that. In every instance the night ends with him spooning his dog. Even the night I fell. It actually gets worse after that.

Texting is a lazy cop out to building, or maintaining, a relationship. It is like giving money or giftcards as a gift only because you really don't care enough to spend time and effort shopping for something the person would like. It is quick and easy to send off a text. It takes involvement to have a live phone conversation. Text messages have their place, but they should be minimal at any stage of a genuine healthy relationship.

[@---nj7hl]

Ty! Someone said it. Or they are multi tasking On the phone w Someone else and they just text you. So they have a rotation.

[@nestortomaselli6372]

You know, I think Matthew’s advice on how to be a more flirtatious and up front while seeking dates is totally on point - however, it seems that most women just tend to respond with silence or by almost feeling offended that you’re “coming on so strongly.” It honestly makes me tired about this whole thing. But maybe the whole point is to not even care about those people. I’m here to go out on dates and be proactive, not to be running into people who are scared about any sort of move by a guy to ask them out.

[@nexusobserve]

i am so fed up with trying

[@NoktoplastikaOnlineShop]

Have some rest and start over. Worth it.

[@nexusobserve]

@@NoktoplastikaOnlineShop there is no hope. i exercise to make the sadness not overwhelm me but now Im getting cramps so bad Im going to the hospital

[@ingriidstellaoppeben9381]

Me too !

[@justjoking5841]

Do or do not.

[@amampathak]

dude this is gold content

[@RedRoyce]

This was really good Mathew. I'm an older man and do text but have been out of the dating world for a few years now. Trying to fix me from a cheating wife before dating. Text is used as an ice breaker and a little teasing but your right it has to lead to a goal if you want it to. I'm an outgoing person and don't have trouble talking to women really but I am rusty on my game of funny banter and teasing with flirting. This gave me some ideas so thank!! I do best face to face but text is a good way to find out if she is even interested and if so I'm going for it even if it's just a coffee.

[@Danny_On_Wheels44]

I have been talking to someone for 2 months or so. Now talk on the phone every night, trying to balance texts and calls and it's not always easy. Sometimes she will not respond all day at all, she sees them. We talk on the phone every night, maybe she likes to be more direct. Cant let your thoughts get hold of you overthink it. We wanna meet, we feel a connection and communication is good so far. We also know each others intentions and are exclusive. When I text her, I will send pics i take or things im doing. I try to mix it up, but now we talk on the phone lots may not need to text as much. I am sure many in the comments been though this. Now the next step is meeting face to face, someone I was talking to never met so im a little anxious the same may happen here.

[@marielehmann9299]

this is such a great video, so informative and helpful!

[@samijust8689]

This guy is amazing! Wish I saw this video a week ago! 😢

[@Lindsay-l4h7r]

I would rather not text at all than to be constantly thinking how witty my texts should be. If I'm not accepted for who I am, I would rather be alone.

[@marlyberryo4441]

This is an amazing class, thank you teacher Matthew I learned a lot with you and this video!

[@finderskeepers4327]

Good clip, one of your better clips lately

[@officiallyblahblah]

Really good advice and I’m happy to learn that it’s aligned with what I started doing when I got back into dating recently. Paying attention to the investment the other person is making and being ready to let go when it’s not working is such a power. And also gives us the time that we can spend on the ones where the investment is mutual😌

[@mbalimiya-c9u]

You're amazing you get it. Keep it up n thanks for your advice it's works💯🙌🏻❤

[@Kleissure]

as always, your videos are so helpful and real. thank you soooo much

[@NWDEVA]

This is correct from my experience.
