[@mirandaread5447]

I think it’s so unrealistic to spark up a casual conversation if the last time you communicated was a break up

[@Shadowx157]

The key is to ease into it; first say you wanna keep the door open and grow as a person. Then after that the 2nd message should be light hearted small talk, 3rd small talk flirt a little see if they're ready to meet, etc

[@harry-james-books]

If you can't, you're going to screw it up

[@busyazn]

Thank you for these tips! 2:10 Identify why you want to approach them. Being intentional is critical. 3:12 #2 set a reasonable intention. Do not ask to get back together. Know how they're feeling and want. 4:20 You put yourself in a vulnerable place if you ask to return right away. 4:45 #2 Open a dialogue. Your FA will be more open & responsive. It also protects you from being too vulnerable before it's time to do so, especially if your FA is not ready. 5:20 #3 do a neediness check. Do not be needy. It is a vibe. FA can read that neediness vibe. 6:45 Define the need. What do you need from your ex? Do they need to say or do something for you about the relationship or tell you the truth? 9:26 Have multiple experiences with your FA ex that are neutral positive. Do not bring past conversation or past relationship. Try to have a good time together. It's important both parties feel comfortable and safe. Neutrality.

[@rockerchic363]

@@rrboss3721Yup. If I need to follow a million rules to keep someone from running away and deflecting the blame onto me for being “needy” when I’m really just being direct and vulnerable, then they’re much more work than they’re worth.

[@bri4926]

So grateful for your videos. Luckily I reconnected with my FA after 20 years. He was defensive and scared at first so I kept it casual, talking about what we’ve both been doing ie, travel, work, family, etc. He rang me recently and he was a much more relaxed. Trust me people this is the best approach. Feel your way first. His vibes you can also pick up and let the conversation flow according to where he’s at. This video confirmed that I did the right thing and feel good about. Hank you Katya.

I feel like who cares if i come off needy. I am not. Vulnerability is so easy i dont care either. After a couple of weeks its like do i really want someone this delusional and scared back? So much unconscious baggage they have. Feel for the rocky road she has ahead of her. No contact kills all feelings for me.

[@DockClock-rp2ro]

Agreed. Wanting someone to reconsider the relationship is nothing to do with "need". I WANT to be in the relationship. I understand the sentiment, that the FA has a weakness to this discussion, and will simply leave or shut-down, but that does not give their labelling of a rational adult facing an issue head on as "needy". They are unstable. The fault is theirs. However, her point stands. If you want to be with them, you have to navigate their processing faults.

[@dannycolwell8028]

Expecting any normal sense of respect for boundaries or good behavior in a relationship will be seen as “needy” by these people

Very true!

[@ConfidencePT]

My ex reached out previously and we met up. She started the conversation with basically saying that I could say what I wanted/needed to her to get it off my chest. I told her I didn't want to do that. This was for two reasons. Firstly, as I told her, I'd had to process what had happened and I had on my own. The second reason was that I was trying to avoid discussing previous events. It was hard to do because she kind of drew me into that conversation. However, this helped clear the air on a lot of things and we left that meeting in a positive place at the time.

[@XJGopher]

Thank you for this video... This absolutely worked for me to reach out to the FA in my life. I did wait 2 weeks after the fall-out to let her work through the emotions first.

It's so relieving that i couldn't help crying at some point. Didn't even understand how much i needed someone to tell me it's okay to feel this way and to wanna reach out because of these feelings. Have been thinking the whole time that there is something wrong with me, or with her, had a lot of doubt if she even had feelings to me. It was such a great discovery to me, that this anxious-avoidant situation is such a common pattern in relationships, thank you so much for giving this crucial information!

Hi Katya, Thank you 😊 for this eye 👀 opening video. Your explanations in this and previous videos have been extremely professional and I appreciate how you present your ideas in very nuanced and specific ways. In particular, the point you made at 3:30 resonated with me. I'm debating whether I want to get back together with a previous emotionally unavailable partner as I need time for my spirit to heal. I spent the 2019 holiday season 🎄 by myself as I was perplexed then why my "avoidant" partner was cycling between being hot/cold. Long story short, she finally confessed to me early this year in 2020 as to why....due to two of her marriage breakups and feeling unsafe and not being able to trust in general. FYI... She's the mother of two teenage boys. If anything else, your information and insights have helped me to diagnose my interactions with her and given me the coping skills to navigate what's been going on, in addition to the support/advice I've received from my sister who's also a therapist. In answer to your question at the end of your video, ways of genuinely/authentically approaching a woman of interest to initiate a dialogue and make her feel safe and asking her out on a date would be appreciated. Also, knowing how to recognize (major) red flags of someone who is either emotionally unavailable or immature to have a relationship would also be helpful so someone like me doesn't expend/invest too many emotional/mental health assets on someone and knowing when to move on. I'm a confident, emotionally and spiritually secure healthcare professional man in my early 50s wanting to have a relationship and am shocked at how many women my age are "still" rediscovering themselves, not knowing what they want. Yikes 😬. Thank you ☺️ Katya, be well and we all look forward to your next video 👌, Ravi

[@KatyaMorozova]

Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself Ravi! I'm glad that my videos have helped you understand your last relationship. I like your video request. That sounds like a fun video to make. Thanks again for your continued support! Happy holidays to you! Katya

[@scottmumme3495]

Hey Katya, Thank you for all your work. I think a new scenario you can speak to: A Man confident about his romantic prospects. He presently realizes the challenge of moving on from his (ex) Woman who has been exhibiting fearful avoidant tendanciels for several years. Difficult because moving on and meeting someone new will certainly be the end for him and her. Simply put, he is excited and confident about his future. But difficult to move on because that will end the story with his present woman who he loves, her love and what they could have in life.

How to tell if the FA breakup is real or do they want you to chase them?

[@katenicholson4152]

As a 42% FA, 50% secure, you never know which it is, but you shouldn’t have to chase us. Just tell yours that you are ready to talk when they are.

[@ae9074]

@@katenicholson4152thanks for your advice she said She had canceled a vacation we had planned. So I told her this. Yet she took it as being done. Was weird. I wanted to check in and ask if your decision to cancel the cruise has anything to do with our recent conversations. I hope I didn’t overwhelm you or make you feel pressured. Your comfort is really important to me So on that I think it might be best if I step back for now, but please know that I care about you deeply and only want what’s best for you. If you ever need anything or just want to talk, I’m always here. Thank you for being a special part of my life, and I wish you all the happiness in the world.

Aaaand that connection will lead to a friendship only.. The difficult part will be to stay aware it's just going to be like that and cannot be a romantic relationship again. The DA might want to have a honey moon period again but not with you this time around, maybe someone else, someone new, while you who tried to connect and is there by their side, remains only as a good friend, so sucking up those feelings for that person hurt like hell while the DA forgot ever had other feelings for you..

What if he is in a rebound since Dec for a misunderstanding happend (for rejection loss pain + anger) after he reached to me after our 2nd breakup? Usually he comes back within a month or less. He knows I love him so much, he never wanted to lose me. But now its 8 weeks for his rebound :( will this rebound fail, will he come back as usual? Now he knows he took a impulsive decision after msgn him. I love him, need him, I dont like when he is with a rebound for so long. I started NC from Feb only.

In your discussions of FA ex's you never mention no contact. If there were a few messages exchanged in the first two weeks after the breakup. I tried to set up meeting but was rejected. Will they still go through the process you talk about or did I make it worse?

[@dankline9162]

I tried to talk casually and offered no pressure opportunities for meeting up several times last fall after nc since a year ago now. She always had an excuse. Some valid, some weak, like even saying I dont want to meet anyone in a pandemic, wear a mask, sheesh. Anytime I left it open for her, she said sure, but never contacted me. Then, I said I still have your hoodie, I want to give it back so you wont be cold, and she still didn't want to see me. I had to drop ot off at her work! I was tired of being rejected after working so hard on myself, by the person who used to think the world of me. Such a difference! Maybe a wrong time, maybe she was seeing someone, and didn't want to hurt me, but dang, so frustrating!
