More often than not, when someone tells you they're not ready for a relationship, they're actually just not into having a relationship with you.

[@SunshineAndSnowflakes]

I would love for them to say it before sex lol. Imagine that. They know they'd likely never get any if they did.

BEING TERRITORIAL DOES NOT SHOW REAL FEELINGS!…one of the most honest and realest things I’ve heard Stephen say! That territorial thing WITHOUT a relationship is like an EPIDEMIC!

Yes!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@MeetStephanSpeaks]

Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate hearing from you ❤️

[@Rico-RR]

It also shines light on the fact that those of us who do actually want a serious relationship, are not insecure and jealous for no reason. We want a serious relationship and then get called insecure of other guys, when we actually are just being territorial, not insecure or jealous.

It is an epidemic! Well said & you can’t own a person. It’s unhealthy attachments.

[@thenorthface4]

I just ended a 6 month situationship with someone who didn’t want a relationship but I did. He was butthurt and mad when I cut it off but it was for the better. I feel WAY better after I ended it. I met someone new who was emotionally available and ready for a relationship.

[@SunshineAndSnowflakes]

My ex kept trying to get back in a monogamous situationship. He didn't want the "emotionally charged" part of a commitment. I said no it's not for me and I'm not willing to participate in something where my needs aren't being met. He did try bargaining and I shut it all down.

[@thenorthface4]

@@SunshineAndSnowflakes A monogamous situationship is a relationship lol, sigh… these are the same guys that say “I hate women who play games” when they do it themselves

[@SunshineAndSnowflakes]

@@thenorthface4 I couldn't agree more. We have all mutual friends and we were close for years beforehand and met each other's kids (his idea). He actually thought that doing every single thing aside from a label was going to help him avoid the hard stuff because he's not in a labeled relationship. I told him that's not how it works. I'm all in or out. Grey areas are not my thing.

[@danigurl111]

That's where I am at right now. I know it's the best thing I could do really for the both of us. I feel that if I was that person for him, he would have no issue with the relationship. And I can't feel how i feel and have a fwb situation. So focusing on each other just causes missed blessings and blocks potential connections. Chapters closed. Nothing but peace, though 🕊🫶 📖⏳️

[@SunshineAndSnowflakes]

@@danigurl111 what annoys me is the assumption that they think we want it to go nowhere and have a monogamous situationship indefinitely. I know it's not the same for guys, but women get out out quite frequently and rejecting other men because of "potential" with the other person is ludicrous and definitely something I am no longer willing to entertain...ever.

[@JenGrice]

Great points!! Yay, I told a guy who was not ready, I knew he wasn’t, that I would give him space to work on his healing and relationship with God. I knew in my heart seeing him would be too much for me. For now we’re remaining friends and he is very respectful of my boundaries, always has been actually. There are just a lot of guys out here who need to work on their healing and emotional health. Wish they’d do that BEFORE meeting new women!!!

Get out fast! I thought I could handle it. We were great when we were together. He loved me. But just wasn't ready. I had to walk away from all the back and forth. I was totally drained!

[@Kelli5555]

I’ve learned I’m too emotional and deep to entertain casual. I know this about myself so I cut to the chase and leave when he’s not on the same page. It is draining and a waste of time to give energy that isn’t aligned with our highest good.

[@JeepbabyB]

HE asked me to be “his girl” made it clear he wanted serious BUT DID NOT ACT LIKE IT😢

[@kristylouise727]

I'm in the last situation with a beautiful, sweet, amazing man. We have a great connection and have developed a love for each other with so much respect. But as he told me 3 months ago he is still healing from a break up and has so many self doubt and fearful thoughts around love. We have taken the back seat and i respect him so much more for hearing me, as i said if it got too hard i needed to step back. He respects my boundaries and I hold him in my heart but from a distance. There are really good genuine guys out there and i'm grateful i got 3 amazing months with one - you never know the future - but for now I'm following my intuition and stepping aside so I can feel happy and he can heal. It hurts though - lets be honest :-)

[@MeetStephanSpeaks]

Thank you for sharing your experience! Hopefully, it will help others learn from it. I appreciate that 🙏

[@ilymdr]

OMGGGGGG same situation. EXACTLY the same….. and in a 3 months period too…. Thanks for sharing I thought I was alone…. Or that I made it up in my mind because it’s hard to understand and accept that you can meet a Genuine person, have a genuine connection and still this person ain’t ready…….. because you feel like « if they are not ready, than they’re not for me…. » I am dealing with that right now and it’s so fustrating but he told me that he is still healing on his past relationship, had Nothing to do with me, he’s just not there yet…. I decided to stop seeing him, and he respects it….. but God…. Was it right person Wrong Time ? Was it just a one way thing ? But I still feel like we had a connection and I am asking God about it and trust my intuition. Now I work on me (I realized that maybe I was not ready to, in the sense of my purpose and who I am really, before commiting in a beautiful partnership that I still would like with him….) but we don’t know the future… I have to trust God, myself and my intuition…. But it hurts… because jt’s bittersweet

I am going through the same thing right now. Even though I know that it just is what it is, it still is sad to let it go.

[@vickydiakoumopoulou6387]

​​It just happened to me after a couple good dates and somehow i helieve it wasn t an excuse ,but maybe the truth. Of course i respectfully answered that i can understand him( although i can't!!!) but i dont want to see each other anymore nor i can handle a friendship. Is it any chance that he will change his mind when the time is right? ( Dont believe i am asking questions like a school girl😊)​@@MeetStephanSpeaks

[@marygranke204]

You're so right about getting yourself caught up with a guy who is not for you and it is very hard to pull away because you get attached to him and a woman can feel like it is love, but isn't. And for me, if the guy says he is not ready for a relationship right now....I need to move on and work on me and when he is ready, he can always contact me at that point. I would rather him be upfront and honest that he is not ready, then to drag the relationship on. Thank you for all the great information.

Know your own worth and value. Never wait for a person that is still working out issues within themselves or priorities his personal life. Look for the constant dangling carrot to keep you waiting. I recently walked away from a great connection but started to see a pattern of avoidance in wanting to meet or move forward. He asked for me to wait while he focused on his book ect…. No thanks, I have a life too! Show your boundaries!

[@TheCinderellaPrincess]

He said he’s not ready for marriage (after he said he was for a full year and he “loves” me and didn’t want to lose me), broke up with me (tried to be friends and gave me health and life updates every month), ghosted me when I expressed how much I missed him, and then six months later (after the breakup on a podcast) announced he dating a new girl with the intention of looking for a wife. Saying she is taking care of him so good and he is doing the same for her. After months of being hot and cold with me and telling me he doesn’t want to “play house.” Ugh, I should have just taken the hint and stop being so considerate of him

[@peacejones8079]

Met a sweet, established, but hurt before and guarded man. He was honest and said he didn't want to ruin me by his demons..he would tell my friends.."sometimes she is like bae" that's when I started hanging out with him less..he liked the "idea" of me being girlfriend material, but his mind was made up..he was doing him and not ready for a girlfriend so he still was doing and acting single..so I pulled back my "girlfriend like ways" he made things clear I had to be true to myself..

[@user-fh1tr9zp3l]

Oh i wonder what,s the name of thst game ?😮 Not ready for a relationship in words But your actions physically is different ? What the hell do you want ? Ladies this was a total package of awareness in a single video Wise up Be attentive, Lets protect our selves at all costs Stephan God bless you Thanks a million

[@Briannasimonee]

I met a great guy and we have been talking for 3 months, he just wasnt ready for a relationship. I do believe he liked me and was genuine, but logically he knew he wasnt ready to give me what I needed financially and emotionally because he is still healing from his last relationship and is not where he wants to be financially. I respect that, it just hurts because I wish he told me earlier but I know I will be okay. I ended up agreeing to be friends with him because he is a great guy and has been respectful towards me. So as long as he respects my boundaries then we can remain friends and he can reach me when he is ready. Who knows if its something else that I dont know about too🤷‍♀all I know is, whatever is meant to be will be.

[@joannk5259]

I wished I had seen a video like this when I was in my twenties. Ladies, this is invaluable advice and Stephan breaks it down clearly, pragmatically and compassionately. But then, I wonder if I would have been wise enough to receive such sage advice and if that would have stopped me from entering a 25 year marriage that is no longer. Sometimes I wonder about all those lost years.. if I had been more honest with myself.

I want more. If he doesn't want to be with me I am now strong enough to navigate unknown waters on my own, without crying. I thank you for your advice every day

[@sayuri3917]

I love listening to Stephen. In fact, when men are not well settled professionally, and that doesn't mean money, but if he doesn't have a clear plan, he may be a good guy, but he will hesitate in some way. A woman will be ready when she finds the right guy. A man needs to be ready and only then he will find the right woman. It seems to me that for men, the right woman is the one who is in front of him when he is ready.

[@rx4207]

I would never allow, or tolerate, this behavior from a man that i was involved with. Everybody is not a loss. We must pick & choose our partners wisely. If you allow yourself to be treated any type of way....then that's the way you will be treated. When the connection is right, everything just falls into place. Things become easier, not more difficult. Sure, there's gonna be issues along the way, but if the love is real, you work through it together. If you're always wondering where you stand with your significant other or whatever, then it's not the right person. In my most humble opinion. ❤🙏🏾

[@cdosby43]

I wish that these types of videos (and they are very good) just didn't make everything seem so, "It's either this or it's either that." As a person goes through many things in life, it's not always just one decision. You can cut the man off, or you can wait. It's entirely your choice. Stephan does drop some nuggets of wisdom, but ultimately, you've got to decide what's best for you. BTW, these decisions don't get easier as the man (or woman) ages. Death of a spouse, divorce from a spouse, financial problems, children, etc. are all things that need to be taken into consideration as one ages. Be blessed out there if you are in a challenging relationship. And unless it's abusive, don't always be so quick to thrown in the towel!

[@claryv.4458]

Literally felt the last point about him genuinely not being ready. Currently going through this situation where he communicated and told me he isn’t ready because for 1 his financial stability and a lot of other personal issues. He just moved too so he’s basically starting to get back on his feet again. I respected the fact that he told me and cared about my feelings and like you said alottt of guys don’t do that. He even said this is the first that he’s done it because he doesn’t want to hurt me and he sees how good of a person I am but it just sucks because he wants to remain friends right now but it’s hard to even do that 😩

I just wanted to tell you that I feel the love you give off through those words of encouragement from the book and I appreciate that. You make it clear that it won’t be easy, but worth it. I’m scared of digging through my pain as I start the exercises you suggest, but I’m not willing to live the same way I did before for years. I bought this book not for the sake of finding love again, but to help me heal and be happy alone. It’s for the purpose of self improvement. Later on if I do find someone, then I’ll be a better person and won’t be the same piece of garbage I was with myself for so long. I thank you for being there for us.

I say this all the time. There's nothing wrong with not wanting a relationship and just wanting friendship or sex, but be honest. A lot of men won't be honest because they won't be able to enjoy the benefits of a woman if they tell her from the get go. It's very selfish. That's why it's important for women to heal themselves to better see these situations right out of the gate and step aside before they get attached.

He not stalking or anything he just wont adhere to my boundries. Like you said women can be casual with men of lower quality FACTSSSS

🙏 I hope he reaches the point of truly doing what is best.

❤️ 🙂 Thank you!

[@tonyabouye1854]

my friend told me today he is complicated when I asked him. Why don’t you want to relationship we do everything as a couple, but we are friends but yet he tells me he’s complicated and sit in his ways he’s only 51. 🤦🏾‍♀️but i really like and care for him and I also think he’s narcissistic just a little

[@hej2800]

if you already feel narcissism coming from him this early on, get out. he's probably a covert and he'll blow up soon enough. make yourself comfortable alone and do not waste your resources on him. leave him alone and DO NOT RECIPROCATE if he starts love bombing you. only start reciprocating if he clearly establishes that he wants to be in a committed relationship with you.

[@murakas2]

Maybe he's not a narcissist, maybe he's "just" emotionally unavailable or has a dismissive avoidant attachment style.

[@cheekytitaable]

If he’s just a friend then treat him like one and date other nice fellas

💯💯💯 I agree Stephan.. #Wisdom

[@thepaperedsleuth]

No you're not. I met a man and I enjoyed our relationship. Being a wife was never on my list of things to accomplish. We got along great. We both said we weren't trying to get married again. He heard me say, "I'll never live with someone I'm not married to." Three months later, he asked me to move in with him. WHY @StephanSpeaks?? I hear you. We were not a good fit, and I'm cool with that. I honestly felt it was a test, and he knew I was prepared to do like Teddy P: Turn off the lights, close the door, and let it go! No regrets!

I shouldve waited, i was too young, i couldnt give you what you deserve because i was too broken, and i hope to one day find myself. I respected his words and although he didnt want it I divorced him.& im at #PEACEwithit

[@francescamiller4340]

Can't understand a person having feelings or want to stake claim on something & say their not ready for a relationship. I'm confused 🤨

[@MsSANDRA1024]

He came on strong. Haven’t seen each other in over 25 yrs. Then said he was fallen in love. Past Saturday morning he said we should be friends. We moved to fast. And yes we did. I haven’t seen nor heard from him in a week. I think he went back to his ex or was she an ex at all. He’s even left clothes and medicine at my place. Why??? I’m so confused

[@Indaymaria2024]

I guess your right when you say he’s genuinely like but not ready for I’m in a 5yrs relationship and I asked my man to tell me honestly if he wants to marry me and he answered he will ‘figure it out’ and that was a confusing answer to me but I guess he just doesn’t want to marry me,is it time for me to let go so I will not waste his time on me’

[@ronkeanimashaun156]

Been there done that said that I’m ok. Yep and I lied coz I was already in love with him and didn’t understand what was going on till I was already hooked. But he knew what he was doing. I was so inexperienced and he was my first. He kept saying he didn’t want to hurt me bcoz he knew I was really into him but still he didn’t want to walk away

[@MeetStephanSpeaks]

Thank you for sharing your experience! Hopefully, it will help others learn from it. I appreciate that 🙏

[@MaggieCano-wu1ek]

What if he’s not ready because he knows he’s healing and I know that I know I need healing to in the process we already separated and came back even stronger and there is a connection but what I’m trying to find out if he has a connection too, he has been so good to me and has provided for me and does not push sex but he does love physical touch! I’m just trying to gain clarity from God to do what he wants me to do weather it’s to have patience or just be friends!

[@LuvKitKatt]

Be patient

[@jajoseph23]

5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BUT ... How does one let go and get out safely having been deeply emotionally invested... And he still wants to control/ hold the 'friendship' 🤔

[@TalesByEbeli]

My boyfriend said we should break up and become friends with benefits and maintain the feelings we have for each other because he was relocating... I still don't know what to do 🤦‍♀️

[@LuvKitKatt]

Absolutely not leave

[@MariahFan09]

Completely 100% yes - say it louder for the people in the back. I know a guy who convinced so many woman - at the same time - that he just wasn't ready yet. He turned out to be a snake, knowing exactly what he was doing. He was exclusinve with one after a year of keeping her around as an option and is now in an open relationship with her and others , mostly others from his past. How dumb is she for going from eclusive to nonexclusive after all that time

[@cdosby43]

Not dumb...just a fool in love. It happens to the best of us.

[@lauravasquez4238]

Maaaaan… this is personal 😅

[@maribellama]

Stephan.. what if the man does all these AFTER he gets the relationship AND the marriage..? 😒 Like what you said about being casual.. After i hurt him deeply as he says.. we got married and he got all the benefits. He was saying that he forgive me but he will not forget.. Nowadays, after the marriage, he was trying to hurt my feelings and he is playing it casual. Like ok, we are married, but that doesn't mean that we will be together every night or that I will not go on vacations without you.. also he admitted that he never forgive me 😭 even though he was saying so. Many times i tried to come closer to him, but when i do he does something to push me away and not connect like we used to be. I don't know what to do.. He is my husband already, but I didn't agree with this situation when I was marrying him.

[@annieramos8316]

@@MeetStephanSpeaks I just need some guidance here

[@SunshineAndSnowflakes]

The one infuriating thing that I keep asking myself is if casual is all they want, why not just say so straight away? My conclusion is that they have a better chance at getting in by omitting the fact they just want to play or have companionship. Something that just popped in my mind though. Considering there are a ton of women who put themselves out there as just wanting something casual, why is it that they go for women who are looking for more only to sidestep them? Do you think it's strategic because they don't want a woman who is dating casually as they want them all to themselves and want to be in control of the direction the dynamic goes? Maybe they are scared that THEY'RE the one who will get caught up and fall in love and want and have to compete for the woman they can't have? 🤔

[@aulavirtual1200]

Phycopaths and Narcisists like to be territorials and to get the control over their couples ( woman or man). They see people like OBJETS or THINGS, They don't want anybody just play.

[@beabohemian]

How much time should you give that guy that needs more time to figure out if he wants to be part of a family? I am a single mom and this is even more complicated.

[@titilopeajayi8907]

You don't. Live your life. If he comes around before you commit to someone who IS ready to be part of your family and you still want him, good for you both. If he doesn't, you lose nothing. Don't put your life on hold waiting for him if he's not sure.

[@naetube9249]

What if they say they’re ready for a relationship and their actions don’t match? They say they like you but do not know to communicate and are not proactively displaying interest (it’s sometimey). Does this mean you’re just not the one?

[@SunshineAndSnowflakes]

In the personal development courses I take, they teach us to write downs our needs and boundaries and communicate what they are. If our partner isn't able or willing to meet those needs, then it's best to part ways. I told my ex that we love each other, but want different things and it's not fair to for me to stay in something where it only works for one of us. It sucks, but we need to learn to accept people as they are and know when it's time to cut them loose. ❤
