For number 1, it may come off as malicious but some people don’t want to commit long term relationships. Some may be polyamorous which is a thing, that still requires communication and maybe it might not be your thing. 3 and 5 is all about giving the other person time. Friendship should be the first step if that hasn’t been done yet. That way it’s easier to get to know each other better without being burdened by romantic expectations.

[@justabird7882]

nothing wrong with poly relationships, but the point is that the person should present their intentions at the very beginning. you don’t go on a date with someone and make it seem like your looking at something exclusive when you’re actually talking and going on dates with multiple other people, that’s just bad communication.

[@JenkemSuperfan]

Friendship as the first step? I've been told people feel like you've been dishonest if you do that, like they never had a friend. The general consensus seems to be that if you develop feelings for a friend, or befriend somebody you have an interest in, you shouldn't act on it. Getting to know them is what dating is for, and so on.

[@rymreaper]

Im a one way poly hypocrite person. Only thing that will agree with would be a robot, just grinding for that amount of money

[@fear_trixx]

If it is ok for you to be in a friendship, that may never develope to something more and may end in the friendzone , then go for it. For me I could never be in a friendship when I have romantic feelings for the other one but she can’t give them back because she is emotionally unavailable due to their ex… Make yourself clear what you want and don’t put too much energy in someone who struggles with him or herself.

[@tammyryan225]

It is simple, either they should decide to be in a relationship or just leave you alone and stop been selfish jerks. Playing with the heart of anyone that develops feelings for you is no fun. Eventually karma will come around to teach those who played others for fools when they decide to have a relationship after realising what they want but by that time it is too late when could had it with the person they had hurt and left.

Heavy on the "they don't know what they want"!! Sometimes when people give us mixed signals or don't know what they want, we have a tendency to stick around hoping that they'll figure it out or they'll eventually want what you want-- but this can cause so much more heart ache down the road :( getting emotionally invested in someone that doesn't want you sucks.

I gotta be real, this is not good message for everyone. Some people are not good enough and really do need to improve a lot about themselves. For instance, I drink and do drugs on a daily basis (trying to quit). If I decide I'm good enough as is, and continue my current habits, I'll be dead before I reach 40. Sometimes people aren't good enough, and that's OK. The good thing is that it's never to late to choose a new path.

[@bc.relationships]

THIS. Continuing to get emotionally invested in someone that can't reciprocate those feelings and attention is so heart wrenching. one of the worst things we can do for ourselves is sticking around, getting more invested while we wait for them to change their mind or figure out how to treat you right. it can be really difficult to step away from that situation, so I'm proud of you for recognizing that's what you need to do. rooting for you

[@steepyt]

1. Both must address what your date is heading to, either exclusive or casual, then that's where you stand. 2. Cases prove that exes can be friends especially if you're both close to each other's fam and circle. Insecurity rises here but hey, you're not yet there to demand so simply ask their real deal first and trust that. 3. Give time, especially for first timers and undecisive by nature. If you really need answers, keep asking the same question, soon they'll answer. 4. That's what I thought when I decided to end my relationship - I'm beyond priority list. Nope. People who just started with new endeavors take a lot of time to adjust and control their sched. What if it takes a month? Yeah, that was my case, and just as I thought, I had to leave, but I was wrong cause by the time I had my own, I understood well. Now? We both can manage our scheds, have plenty of time, but not each other anymore. 5. Agreed.

Sometimes I don't but I don't stay with anyone that I sense that isn't ready for a committed relationship as I'll immediately say straightforwardly, that I'm not interested in nonsense or mind games. Especially silly high school games. Either be honest and straightforward about if want a relationship or just play the field because I can't stand lies. And can't stand been played for a fool. It irritates me. As why I struggle finding a healthy relationship because I don't much about on what I want.

Anyways, she left me on read for 8 hours. 8 HOURS!!! Then she finally said she wanted to break up. Nothing bad happened the day before or the week before. Hell nothing bad even happened the month before but she just let go. She easily “moved on” which means she simply shoved her grief under the rug. She didn’t improve her character at all from the situation, she is still as immature as ever. Don’t trust your feelings. Blissful feelings lead you astray when things do eventually go wrong.

I've never actually been on a date before. So I know I'm not qualified to give you advice. But idk if anyone else will respond. I think you should explain your issues with her. It will make sure they get addressed. It could be that she doesn't understand what happens in a relationship. But if they cannot get resolved and the relationship ends. You guys can always stay friends. I hope your relationship works out.

[@aurielanderson79]

It's so weird bc in my experience they come to me first but they always say they aren't ready for a relationship but they are ready to have intercourse and when I leave them alone for whatever the reason maybe they pop back up. It's exhausting. If you aren't ready for a relationship leave them alone and don't lead them on thinking you are ready for one. This goes both ways not just for men.

[@bc.relationships]

THIS. Dating in 2022 is hard. There will always be people out there who will see how much they can get out of someone (whether it's physical or emotional) without having to commit :( sometimes all we can do is be as honest and upfront about what we're looking for and not settle or lower those standards for temporary attention or affection. sounds like you already got that part figure out. rooting for you

[@diaphrenia3707]

I just have a fear of being in one and don't know how they work

[@Devlinator61116]

Based on the title, I was expecting a video about how to tell if someone *was* ready for a relationship.

[@jagoaqasha]

Do any of these apply to someone who's struggling mentally?

[@sillyman1709]

The typo in the title confused me for half the video...

[@geraldinemillena3938]

When you explicitly pointed out that you are not ready to be in a relationship due to financial, emotional, etc reasons but the other kept poking for a relationship and reassuring things will go fine... DONT. Just dont. It will not work fine at all. Take it from me.

[@Wind_Cursed]

So... I will never be in a relationship because I have anxiety and always will because my mom was like that (she is still with my dad, they haven't divorced or seperated)? I've learned ways to control it, but it's still there. So I can't be in a relationship or it will end horribly?

[@geraldinemillena3938]

@@Wind_Cursed oh I see, please dont say like its final or the end for you. Just because your mum has anxieties doesnt mean its impossible for you to be in a relationship. Its all about management or how to work or deal with what you have (anxieties). Also this is just based on my experience dear, dont go into relationship if you are not confident enough to handle another person in your life. List down what you are in life: finances, work, study, emotional, family/friends, etc. then weigh in how these factors can be managed while in a relationship. Can you handle it? How to manage anxieties? Is it fair for your partner to present yourself right now? Will you have the capacity to deal with their problems too?

[@flowercrossing1501]

can you talk about ptsd i will love that

[@johnbakasmoothhotchocolate]

I think they may have talked about it some time before, but it couldn't hurt to ask still. Cute pfp you have, btw.

[@Wind_Cursed]

What about having some form of mental illness? I've never dated, so I don't know, but it seems like everyone says if you have a mental illness your relationships will never work. However, my mom has had anxiety pretty much all her life (she learned ways to control it, though) and her and my dad are still together and haven't divorced or separated. They have been together for 21 years and had 6 children, including me, together. Now, onto the main point, I have anxiety and I worry I won't get in a relationship because I have anxiety and everyone says you aren't ready for a relationship until you get over your mental illness. However, I know I won't get over my anxiety since my mom hasn't and I likely got my anxiety from her genes. Does that mean I'll never be in a relationship? Even though I have learned ways to control it?

[@AnimeLuver0604]

It's not about getting over it (IMHO), it's about managing your mental health and not being codependent or toxic with a partner.

[@Wind_Cursed]

@@AnimeLuver0604 Ok, thanks for the clarification (or opinion, I guess). I had a rough idea before and considered that it may not be the mental illness, but somethng else that usually happens with most mental ilnesses. However, my anxiety wouldn't leave me alone so I just wanted someone else's thoughts on it judt to make sure

[@caseyhawthorne7138]

Some of the people at my previous place interfered with somebody I really like and they've lied to other people that they're my friends I don't understand it 😕

[@malphite8797]

Soon I'm turning 20, never been in a relationship, I can't trust anyone and I don't want to interract with other people. Is it bad if I never get into a relationship?

[@indridcold8433]

Wow! This video really does not apply to me. I question why it was in my suggested video list.

[@uncoolkidd1360]

yay!!! psych2go!!!!

[@golgothapro]

I'm not going to live in CA under any circumstances.

[@KS-qp2ml]

I just finish screaming my heart out.... Gave so much energy after two years ... He was not ready a nd never will b. Just a relationship... Or at least a conversation. .nope not hing. So I literally curse yelled cried and then finally walked away. It too much hurt. I can't take it.

[@userm180]

are you ok??

[@bc.relationships]

this sounds really rough :( i truly hope you find people who treat you with the love and care you deserve-- whether you find that in a romantic relationship or a friendship. just remember that you deserve a healthy, safe, strong relationship. rooting for you

[@Kalidreamine]

if only i could date my crush lol. it looks like he is ready for one. but the signs of how he feels about me are not clear to me. i’m usually very good with my intuition and reading people’s feelings for me, but only if i don’t like them back. my crush is also more introverted so i am lost. he shows many positive signs but i know he is also busy and we are getting to know each other better, so there could be a lot going on. and i broke up with my ex a month ago but i’m pretty much over him at this point.. (haven’t thought about him in a long long time, and haven’t missed him once, and i always hope he’s doing well). i might need a few more weeks but i’m moving on with my life pretty well. i am super stressed about my current crush tho lol. he takes up all my thoughts and it’s been this way for some time now.

[@John-ih7gp]

Does he know you like him? Why not tell him you are interested?

[@graveyardsoil]

Is this the same as the how to know when someone's is not ready for a relationship

[@mintastic1506]

Why does the title says someone is ready but the video says someone isn't ready?

[@andreimoga7813]

watching this, but for myself *am i* even ready?

[@CarolinaKilla]

this video 5 mins old, but some comments are two weeks old ? 😭
