The Only Time I’d Give Him A Second Chance: The Harsh Reality

If you ask yourself, “Should I give him a second chance,” you’re opening yourself up to a lot of risk unless you do what I say in this article.

Should I give him a second chance

It’s hard moving on from someone you strongly connected with. It’s not your fault he’s an idiot lol.

You let go and were doing well. Suddenly, he has come back around, talking crazy about how much he misses you and wants you. You try to ignore it but he’s consistent.

What do you do? Should you take him back?

In this article, I will go over:

  • Important things to consider if you do take him back.
  • Traps to avoid.
  • The only reason I would take someone back.

What Happened Before He Returned.

Should I give him a second chance

Let’s not jump the gun here. I know you’re thrown off and confused that he came back around and started to blow up your phone. But what is more important is the evidence we already have.

Looking back at the relationship and why he pulled away is essential.

If you have had any of the following problems in the relationship, I would be hesitant to take him back:

  • He’s not your boyfriend, and there is a lot of “on and off” with him.
  • He has pulled this crap before.
  • He says he doesn’t want a relationship.
  • It feels very one-sided.
  • He’s inconsistent, or it feels like pulling teeth to get him to do anything.
  • You feel you’re being taken advantage of.

While it could still work, it’s less likely. From my 11 years of experience, I have never seen a guy pull these shenanigans and then wake up and suddenly want a relationship.

It would even be worse if you’re hopeful for a relationship because he will men don’t commit to hopeful women like I talk about here.

This leads me to my second point.

The Time Gap

Should I give him a second chance

 I think most men return between 1 and 3 months after not talking. I think that’s the best time for someone to go through the four stages of reflection and regret, which are:

  • He is pulling away for whatever reason.
  • Having to live with that reason and the decision he made.
  • He can now reflect on that decision (what it’s like with and without you.
  • His conclusion of that initial decision (do I regret it or not).
Should I give him a second chance

That takes around 1–3 (maybe four months). That does not mean you should wait for that time. If anything, you’d do better letting go. However, the first step to asking yourself, “Should I give him a second chance?” starts with the time period.

Here is why:

  • If it’s under a month and he returns, it tells me two things: He thinks you’re disposable and can get you back when he wants. And that he’s impulsive. He will do it again because he probably didn’t think much about it in the first place.
  • If it’s past 3 months (more like going onto six), I feel the guy doesn’t have feelings anymore and that if he comes back, it’s more for the assets you offer (time, sex, validation, attention, or being an insurance policy).

Men don’t wake up months and months later and realize you’re the one. They have to reflect on the decision they made. If it takes too little time, it will happen again. Too long, and those feelings probably faded, but he feels he can get something out of you.

Do Not Cave Early

Should I give him a second chance

Here is the problem with caving early:

There could be a chance that he comes back and feels he can negotiate getting things back to where they were instead of where they need to be. That’s not good for you.

It’s a two-step process (on his end) just like any job interview:

  • He fills out an application and maybe checks in multiple times.
  • Then he gets the interview.

You’re not different. Just because he reaches out with “I miss you” doesn’t get him in the door.

I’d personally only “cave” under the following conditions:

  • I genuinely believe they regret their decision and made a mistake.
  • This was the first time.
  • The relationship was great; he has mental blocks.
  • I felt they were convinced I was done.
  • They texted a bunch and didn’t give up.

Letting him back in isn’t to “talk about things” or hear his side of the story. You should have done that before applying no contact.

If you cave the first or second time, he will try to negotiate to get things back to where they were. That doesn’t benefit you because you are taking the burden of risk for a guy who screwed up.

Only Take Him Back If..

Now we know the reasons why we shouldn’t take him back and a reasonable period on when to expect him back.

I tell my clients that if you want to be sure he’s not going to pull this crap again and that he’s serious about returing for good, you have to figure out 5 questions:

  • “What has changed? No one changes this fast.”
  • “Why should I give you another chance?”
  • “How do I know you won’t do it again?”
  • “What work have you done?”
  • “If he comes back, is he willing to commit?”

If he cannot answer these correctly or at least to your satisfaction, he will do it again because he didn’t do enough reflection.

Trust me, a guy will do a lot of reflection if he feels he messed up. I’ve been there. He would have solid answers for all these questions.

I am not saying you must bombard him with these because it is a little intense. However, you do need to know.

Giving someone a second chance isn’t about how much you miss them — it’s about how much they’ve truly changed.

A man who walked away has to earn his way back, not waltz in with sweet words and empty promises. If he can’t show growth, accountability, and genuine commitment, he’s not a second chance — he’s a repeat mistake.

5 Crazy Red Flags In Relationships You Wish You Found Sooner

If you want to save yourself time and the headache of a relationship going south, I will give you early red flags in relationships you cannot miss.

Red Flags In Relationships

Everyone misses red flags. It’s hard to keep track of everything, especially when you like the guy, want to give him the benefit of the doubt, and see potential.

However, there are some red flags I don’t think we should skip on. In this articl,e I will lay out 5 crucial red flags I believe will make or break the relationship if glossed over.

If you’re serious about dating and wanting to skyrocket your success in finding a relationship, check out my FREE 9-guide series here.

Red Flag One: Failing The Filter Test

Red Flags In Relationships

It is a huge red flag if a guy fails anything I discuss in the filter test. This is the first thing you should be doing with any guy.

It only involves several questions:

  • What are you looking for?
  • When was your last relationship?
  • What’s your longest relationship?
  • Were you cheated on?

The answers you should be getting back are the following:

  • “I am looking for something serious/want a gf.” Anything outside of this is a buying time statement. Those are NOT good.
  • If he says he wants a relationship but he’s been single for 3 years, a red light should go off. At the same time, if he’s newly single (6–8 months), another red light should be alarming.
  • If he’s never had a long relationship (3 years+ for 30 years or older and 1–2 years in 20’s), there is a reason and you’re not going to be the one to change it.
  • I hate this because it may not be his fault and I am not saying be done with him but in my line of work, the chances a guy is emotionally unavailable or not ready to commit if he’s been cheated on is like 85%.

Red Flag Two: The Halfway Point

Red Flags In Relationships

If he starts to flip or change around the 4–6 week mark, run. There is nothing you can do about it because you’re not the problem. He’s just emotionally unavailable.

What happened was context (the things you two do and say over time that creates a serious vibe in a relationship) got to the point where his emotional unavaibility kicked in and he started to pull away.

When a man is emotionally unavailable, it lays dormant early on because there is no reason for it to surface. It’s just a guy liking a girl and them getting along.

Red Flags In Relationships

But when things progress, so does the pressure. This happens around the 4–6 mark usually when:

  • You’re moving at a consistent pace
  • Things are going well
  • You’re hooking up
  • Talking about the future
  • Going on numerous dates

A man has to answer to this. It’s not just fun. It’s a responsibility. If he’s on the same page as you, then all this is great. But if he’s not, he’s going to pull back.

Please be aware of the halfway point.

Red Flag Three: Mistaking His Intensity

Red Flags In Relationships

Many women believe that an intense man is an interested man. That may be the case, but it’s also among the worst red flags in relationships.

I have done this for over a decade and found that it’s usually emotionally unavailable men filling a void and doing it.

There are several reasons for this:

  • The faster I move (and you move along with me), the more validation I get.
  • If we move fast, I get what I want faster.
  • If we move fast, we bypass the courting stage and get to the stage where I benefit.

One of the most crucial things you can do is control the pace. A simple cookie-cutter approach would be:

  • It’s okay to text daily but not all day every day.
  • Average one date a week until about 4–5 dates then you can have two dates a week SOME weeks.
  • Take everything he’s saying with a grain of salt for the first month.
  • Don’t cave and sleep with him before the 5th date.

Please remember that early on, he doesn’t know you from Eve. Don’t think you’re that special that he’s falling in love with you in record time. When a guy makes these comments, you’re in trouble:

  • I like you more in this short time than I liked my wife of 10 years.
  • I have never felt chemistry like this before.
  • I felt like I’ve known you forever.
  • I have never had feelings this strong before.

Just be careful.

Red Flag Four: His Horrible Communication

This sounds like common sense, but it’s one of the biggest red flags in relationships.

Communication is the gold standard for anything going anywhere. It does so much, and people don’t realize it:

  • Makes everything feel mutual.
  • People feel understood and heard.
  • They’re validated and wanted.
  • Clears up and misconceptions.
  • Keeps the consistency going.

If you’re talking to a guy who is:

  • Sporadic/inconsistent.
  • Okay going a day without talking to you.
  • Doesn’t like conflict or problem solving.

Then you’re talking to a man who realized he doesn’t want you but your assets and sees you short-term.

The only problem is that it’s difficult to gauge someone’s communication early on. Many people will go the extra mile in communication in the first month to secure dates and your interest.

But it’s still important to watch, and a big red flag when a guy cannot communicate properly.

Red Flag Five: Not Meeting Friends Or Family

While I am not a big fan of meeting friends and family early on in dating, you should meet a friend or two before week 6. If not, there are several reasons:

  • He isn’t sure about you.
  • He has brought women around before and it didn’t last long.
  • He doesn’t want to integrate you into his social circle (there are reasons).
  • He’s talking to other women.
  • He’s interested in a member of his group.

What women fail to realize is that men want to secure you if they see you long-term. Too many of you justify things and say, “Well, maybe he did it and got burned before,” or “He probably doesn’t want to show anyone off until it’s serious. We do that in my culture all the time.”

While that may be true, his integrating you into his social group happens (overall) far less than it should. If a guy likes you, wants to win you over or some brownie points, it’s smart that on a 4th or 5th date to invite you out with friends.

Again, that may not be his style, but we’re not talking about that. We’re talking about him doing things he thinks you’d like.

Maybe it’s just me, but when I date a girl I like and want to show her I care, I go the extra step. I will do things I know she likes. Let me give you a great example of this from a woman I dated who did something for me:

I dated this Canadian woman named Sara years back. She was a fantastic woman. At that time, my friends and I played a game called “Dead By Daylight,” which was a four-player online multiplayer game. She knew nothing about the game and didn’t even play. However, she bought the game because she knew I liked it and wanted to play it with me.

I remember her laughing and saying, “You probably think this is pathetic, don’t you? I look needy.” But in reality, I loved that she did that. It’s the effort and attention to detail. The fact that she was willing to learn a game and a skill she had no previous interest in.

As soon as a guy does that for you, you’re in. But if he never does anything like that, let alone won’t even introduce you to a friend, and you’ve been dating for a while, there is a reason.

Hopefully I helped you figure out serious red flags in relationships. If you’re interested in working with me, click the link here.

5 First Date Tips So Powerful You’ll Feel Like You’re Cheating The Game

If you’re looking for surefire tips for first dates, I will make your life so easy that you’ll love dating (I know, hard to believe).

First dates can be daunting, especially if you go on many of them. Having to get ready, put on a smile, search for a connection, and partake in some bad dates isn’t ideal.

You’re not alone. I wrote this article to make you a first-date master who can find the right guy and make him your boyfriend.

If you’re serious about a relationship and want a free gift that strongly complements this article, get my free nine-dating guide series here.

Focus On Attraction, Not Connection

The number one thing I learned as a dating coach who focuses on evolutionary psychology is that attraction is everything.

When I talk about attraction, I don’t just mean sexual. I mean a person’s “gravity” or ability to pull others in, make them curious, and want more.

When you’re on a first, second, or even third date, connections do not do that. In fact, it hurts you.

I cannot tell you how many women I know who lost men because they focused so much on trying to get to know each other and build a connection before building attraction.

I know that sounds weird but trust me. Attraction is a facilitator. It’s what causes men to invest and want to build a connection in the first place. Men will never build a connection just to build one. They have to like you first.

That’s because of how courtship works:

Men are the offers and women are the choosers. Men have to offer themselves to women and women can accept or decline that offer. That’s how courtship starts.

A man doesn’t think, “I want to build a connection with that woman, let me offer myself to her.” He finds you attractive and appealing. That’s what makes him invest.

On the other hand, women want to build a connection because they’re still filtering the man and want to see if he’d stick around.

First Dates Should Be Systematic

First dates are interviews to see if we are interested in each other and vibe well.

Too many women want extravagant dates and believe simple dates aren’t worth their time.

Newsflash: It’s a first date. He doesn’t know you apart from Eve lol. You’re not special or different than any other girl at that point in time. Just go on the date and see if there is a spark.

With that being said, you should keep first dates simple:

  • Day date/coffee or night/drinks
  • 90 minutes
  • Keep things light and laugh a lot
  • Keep it within 15-minute drive
  • No wait times or places difficult to park
  • Have a handful of topics you’d like to discuss
  • Have 3–5 questions to slip in there that are important to you

I have found after 10 years of being a coach that the easier these things are to do with an individual, the better the date and connection will be.

For me, I do this all the time, but with Mexican food:

  • Everyone likes Mexican food.
  • Mexicans are the most generous people regarding food portions and spiking your drinks lol.
  • Cheap.
  • Always close by.
  • Always good parking.
  • Rarely long waits.

Because of this, the vibe is chill, the tension is eased, and we have more time to focus on each other.

Have A Literal “List” Of Things

I feel you should be dating with these two things in mind:

  • For meeting a specific person
  • For being a specific person to someone

Hopefully that makes sense.

People cast their nets too wide and wonder why things don’t work out. People focus so much on looks and chemistry, which are extremely importan,t but the two problems with that are:

  • You’re always going to have someone more attractive and interesting than you.
  • Everyone, to some degree, is cute and interesting; otherwise, we wouldn’t agree to the date.

It’s a losing battle.

Instead, you have to have a list in your head of what you’re about and what you offer. At the same time, you should have the cliche but important list: Must haves/wants/dealbreakers.

That way, filtering people on a first date is straightforward. Don’t just date anyone. Date someone in your tribe (more on this in my How To Hook A Guy Guide).

Keep it simple. The only thing I ask is don’t put cliche things here. Don’t say for must have/want:

  • Kind
  • Caring
  • Sweet
  • Funny

Those are prerequisites. Everyone wants nice, funny, and kind people. Instead, it should be things like:

  • Loves to work out and takes care of themselves.
  • They are very passionate about something and have a mission.
  • Has amazing style.
  • They have hair.
  • Doesn’t drink.
  • Or whatever you want.

Master Filtering Over Everything Else

If you’re on a first date, you must learn the art of balancing having fun and gathering information.

Your ability to correctly filter a guy will save you 80% of the bullshit that comes along with dating down the road.

You need to figure out if this man is:

  • Wanting a relationship
  • How long he’s been single
  • Was he cheated on
  • What was his longest relationship

The best way to ask this is to ask one question and let it naturally flow into others. For example:

You can ask someone what they’re looking for before the first date (and you should). I don’t care what the apps say they want. Before a first date, you need to hear it from them via text/phone. No, it’s not intense or clingy. I don’t know why people think that.

On the date, you can make a nice statement about how this date is relaxing because the apps are a nightmare for women. Then, when he comments on it, you can laugh, go along with it, and ask him, “How’s your time on the apps?” and guide it to “Oh, how long have you been on there?”

If he gives you an answer but doesn’t indicate how long he’s been single, you can naturally say, “How long were you single before getting on the apps?”

Then when he tells you, you can start prying for information on that relationship.

Pace it and add statements and other things so it doesn’t feel like an interview.

Follow The 70/30 Rule

Lastly, if you’re unsure of how much you should invest, talk, and keep the conversation going, I believe in the 70/30 rule.

This essentially states that a man should be doing 70% of the talking, and you should be listening.

This is VERY hard to do because the number one thing everyone is taught on first dates is not to talk too much and to let the other person talk about themselves.

It’s not a hardset rule. It can be 50/50 or 60/40.

I am a huge believer that if you can let a guy try to win you over (making you laugh, let’s say), and you laugh, make comments/statements, and ask a question to send it back his way, you’re golden and getting a second date.

This works because of the dopamine-chase loop. It’s crucial to make a man chase, give in to him a little, then repeat the process.

As soon as you’re doing more of the talking, courtship is over.

Why Do I Keep Getting Ghosted: 5 Things That Eerily Increase The Chances Of Him Disappearing

If you have asked yourself, “Why do I keep getting ghosted?” You’re not alone. The funny thing is, most people get ghosted when things are going well.

Getting ghosted is one of the worst feelings, especially when you thought things were going well. Humans love clarity and transparency and someone robbed you of that.

Do you want to know what feels worse?

Always getting ghosted and never getting that closure.

If this is happening to you, you’re not alone. It is a lot more common than you think. In my line of work, people are constantly getting ghosted.

That’s the reason I decided to write this article, where we’re going to go over:

  • Why people ghost
  • Why you are constantly getting ghosted
  • What you can do about it

 Your Filtering Process Is Horrific

Filtering is everything when it comes to relationships. I have been a dating coach for over a decade, and I can tell you that the number one thing that saves you time, headache, and heartbreak is how good you are at filtering people.

Ghosting has nothing to do with you. You have to shift your mind and understand that it’s a horrible coping and escape process people have when accountability, confrontation, and responsibility come into play.

That’s why you never get ghosted early unless it’s a “wham-bam-thank-you-mam” type of interaction. The pressure and need to be held accountable and responsible isn’t there yet.

It’s just two people hanging out, having fun, and hooking up (until it isn’t anymore).

It has almost a 100% success rate if you’re good at filtering.

Yes, you heard that correctly. If you’re good at filtering people, you can prevent almost all of ghosting.

To help you with that, I already wrote a powerful and detailed article: Your 5-Step Filter Process For Dating Serious Men Only.

People give off so many signs that ghosting can come into play:

  • Newly single.
  • Talks a lot about an ex.
  • People in specific careers (yes, this is true): doctors, nurses, pilots, police officers, personal trainers, musicians, just to name a few.
  • Haven’t been in a relationship in a long time, but say they want one.
  • Inconsistent.
  • Too intense (no one, including you, is that special where if they’re telling you things that are too good to be true, they are).
  • Unsure what they want and use phrases like “go with the flow” or “see what happens.”
  • Long distance (can work, but statistically it’s more likely to happen). More on this later.

It’s never one thing that screams “Ghoster!” It’s an accumulation of them.

Ghosters Love Nice People

Ghosters love nice people. Especially when you understand how our species works as a whole:

The job of the organism is to survive and reproduce while avoiding risk along the way. When I want to survive (save on resources) and reproduce (find a mate), no one is easier than the nice girl who doesn’t make me invest, gives me multiple chances, and sees the good in people.

When you’re in the dating market, high-value people are that way for a reason:

They have assets people want and hold those assets in high regard, meaning you must invest heavily to get them. This caused them to be amazing at filtering out bullshit when it happens.

Suppose you’re a low-value, emotionally unavailable, narcissistic player, f-boy, or whatever. In that case, you’re not going to waste your time on those high-value assets that are locked behind a solid door.

You will go after the nice person who sees the good in you.

Why? Because they’re less risky (turning down someone), save you on resources (usually don’t invest as much), and give you multiple chances, which all benefit the Ghoster.

Listen, I know that sounds horrible and I agree. But what I am saying isn’t something subjective. It’s 100% objective. I have studied evolutionary psychology for over a decade. This is why it happens.

Ghosters choose friendly people because they’re selfish and it’s easier. It’s that simple. The stronger the barrier to entry, while having a good filter, the less likely it is that it will happen.

To go into this further, I have an article here: 5 Cold-Blooded Reasons Men Ignore Despite Things Going Well.

They’re Emotionally Unavailable

Emotionally unavailable people only have two decisions to make at the end of a situationship:

  • To pull away and let the person know they’re emotionally unavailable.
  • To ghost.

It will always be one of the two.

Emotionally unavailable people have a tough time committing, and what’s sad is they can genuinely like you and what you two had.

It’s usually like pulling a rug out from under you because you don’t see it coming.

The reason for this is that emotional unavailability lies dormant until necessary.

What I mean by this is it’s awakened by context: the things you do and say over time that create a serious relationship vibe.

These things include:

  • sex
  • consistency
  • dates
  • frequency
  • pace
  • future planning
  • meeting friend/fam
  • vulnerability
  • and much more

As I said earlier, when you start talking, it’s just two people hanging out, having fun, and hooking up. But over time, these things naturally happen and build substance in a relationship.

This substance makes someone feel pressured because they feel obligated to give you something they can’t.

This leads me to the following reason.

The Intensity Was Too Much

The crazy thing is that when people ghost, it more likely happens on either ends of the spectrum:

  • It happens when the relationship is sporadic, casual, inconsistent, and you have long gaps between seeing each other. This helps the ghoster justify just letting it go because it’s nothing substantial in the first place.
  • It can also happen when things are going well and everything feels right just like I pointed out above with the emotionally unavailable person, that causes pressure because they feel obligated to give you something they can’t, especially when things are amazing.

This is why you will see people sometimes go hot and cold or send mix signals. Mix signals scream:

“I want you and your assets, but I’m not sure where I see you long-term.” It balances things in the middle of the spectrum where they do just enough to get the assets you offer, but do not feel the intensity to take it further.

Mixed signals are their way of saying, “I want something when it’s convenient for me. Other than that, leave me alone.”

If you obey that, they may not ghost (early on) but will take advantage of you and you’ll be worse off long-term.

I don’t want you to think, “Okay, if I keep the right intensity, they will stay.”

No. A ghoster is a ghoster and it will happen no matter what it’s just a matter of time. The job is to filter these people out to prevent it from happening in the first place.

Here is an excellent article on the matter: Why do people ghost when things are going well.

The Logistics Favor Ghosting

A ghoster will ghost no matter what. It’s just a matter of time. However, in my line of work, I see patterns on when it is most likely to happen.

Logistics play a heavy role in whether someone is going to ghost or not because it helps them justify their actions instead of being accountable or confronted for such a weak move.

Some logistics include:

  • Long distance
  • Newly talking
  • Inconsistency
  • Early sex
  • Low number of dates
  • Agreeing to be casual/fwb
  • Them doing it before
  • Large gaps in between seeing eachother

The reason it’s most likely to happen in these scenarios is the person doesn’t have to confront you. In many of these if the person pulls away, they’re either going to:

  • Delete you on everything so they don’t have to chat about it
  • If they do chat about it, they’ll gaslight you or say they ran into some personal issues (blah blah blah).

Most of the time, a combined 2–3 points discussed on this list make it a surefire sign you’ll be ghosted.

If you’re in a situation where it’s long-distance and you never met but it’s intense, good luck.

It won’t end well if you’re talking to someone emotionally unavailable, but you’re moving fast or didn’t filter them correctly.

If the person you’re talking to says they want a relationship but haven’t had one in 3 years, and you live across the country, it won’t happen.

You get the idea.

Does No Contact Work? Yes, But Here Are 5 Mistakes That Dramatically Drop Your Success.

If you’re wondering, “Does no contact work?” I have some good news for you: Yes! However, so many of you ruin your chances before it takes effect.

Does no contact work

Have you ever tried to work things out but no prevail? Maybe you voiced your concerns but didn’t get the outcome you wanted? You did everything possible only to get taken advantage of?

Enter no contact!

No contact is one of the most powerful things you can do in a relationship heading south. It’s never used to punish someone but to let them know you have boundaries and your time is valuable.

Unfortantely, many people do no contact completely wrong and then get upset why it doesn’t work.

In this article, we’re going to go over:

  • Mistakes people make when doing no contact.
  • Why these hurt your chances.
  • What to do instead.

If you want 9 free guides on attraction, psychology, and dating to skyrocket your dating success, click here.

#1 Negotiate and still talk about what’s wrong.

Does no contact work

My definition and context following no contact is:

After unsuccessfully trying to consistently communicate and address boundaries for the overall good of the relationship, we take a step back and cut off all communication with the individual not to punish them but to value our own time and effort.

Many people do not do this. They’re still in some way in contact or a “call/text” away from the person. Meaning, you’re not done and they know they have you.

Even worse, we’re still trying to fix and communicate the problem, which subconsciously gives the other person power.

So many people are weak regarding no contact that they’re surprised it doesn’t work. Well no shit lol. You’re still in contact with the person.

For no contact to work, two things have to happen: They shouldn’t have contact to you and should feel they lost you. It’s impossible for someone to feel any type of regret or reflection otherwise.

How can someone regret if they can’t reflect? How can they reflect if there is no reason to? You’re supposed to give the reason.

Does no contact work

This cycle has to happen. As soon as you break it, no contact doesn’t work anymore because it is no longer a no-contact game. They think, “How much do I have to do before they cave again?

You showed him the crack in the armor and they’ll call your bluff.

Here is a great article: 5 Reasons You Must Let Him Go To Get Him Back.

#2 Still have them on social media.

Does no contact work

Do you know why getting over a coworker you dated is hard? Because you always see them.

It’s the same with social media, but benefits the other person. It’s tough for them to feel the effects of no contact when they can access your whereabouts.

Here is something you have to understand:

They need their “fix/hit” of you, not a relationship. There is a reason they did the dumb shit they did and you pulling away because of it. Either they don’t value you or took you for granted. But as long as they can keep tabs and check in on you, they’re good.

It’s hard for people to realize you’re gone when you’re not gone. Further more, they will question why you’re doing no contact but still have them as friends across social media.

This screams, “I am doing this to punish you and get a result, but I don’t really want this to end.”

They will never take you serious until you’re serious about it. I know this to be a fact because I love doing a little trick with my clients:

My clients will tell me they’re doing no contact. I will ask what that entails. They’ll list off a thing but still have the person on social media. I challenge them and say, “That’s not no contact because they have contact with you. Why don’t you delete them?”

I always get the same two responses:

  • “If I do that, I will never hear from them again or they have no way of contacting me if they change.”
  • “I don’t know if I am ready to let go yet. I still want them.”

Yeah, I know. I have been a dating coach for 11 years. I know the reasons and so does he. That’s why it never works.

#3 Doing it for a “period of time.”

Does no contact work

There are many dating coaches out there who suggest doing it for 90 days, sending a letter, and all this corny crap.

Once you cave and you cave at the wrong time, you lose. That’s your only shot because you just shook hands on your value.

Put your emotions aside and listen to me:

I study evolutionary psychology and dedicate my life to this craft while talking to clients daily. Doing it for a set time or caving in at the wrong moment is the worst thing you can do.

It shows:

  • You’re willing to negotiate your value.
  • You can’t leave.
  • You like me more than I like you.
  • You’re weak.
  • You don’t stick to your word.
  • You’re too emotional.

No contact means no contact. Only “cave” when you get quality answers to these questions:

  • “How do I know you changed? People don’t change that fast?”
  • “If you come back, we’re official. Take it or leave it.”
  • “How do I know you won’t do this again?”
  • “How can I trust you?”

#4 You’re doing it to get them back.

Does no contact work

If you do it because you want them back, it will show, and they will take advantage of it. Yes, it will show. You’re not better than the game. You can’t outsmart them and keep tabs on all the variables.

Don’t even try.

There is truth behind the quote, “whoever loves less wins.”

They’re not dependent on the outcome. They just do whatever. Their emotions don’t sway them to harshness on either side. It is what it is.

I remember in my twenties, women would try this on me. I would come back around, pull some bullshit, and they’d think they had me because their logic is:

“Oh, look, he’s chasing me. He’s investing. He’s the one expressing himself and I am not doing anything. I have the power now.”

Not really. That’s not how it works.

Outcome dependency is a huge factor because of what follows:

  • I was coming around for assets. I have no attachment to the outcome or what follows next. Win or lose, I am the same person.
  • She on the other hand has to have a sequence of things to work to get what she wants. She’s playing to win. That makes her dependent.

Over time, that person eventually loses. It’s hard to lose when you’re not dependent on an outcome.

It’s like a negotiation. Sure, I will sit at the table and negotiate. Let’s see if I can get a good deal. It’s entertaining. I have no problem walking away because I am not after a particular outcome.

On the other hand, you may have a good bluff and be good at negotiating, but your unwillingness to leave the table completely gives me the advantage.

Try reading this. It will help: 5 Reasons men don’t commit and how to instantly fix it.

#5 Don’t stay friends.

Does no contact work

Never voluntarily put yourself in the friend zone to keep them in your life.

They must lose access to you. That means:

  • No seeing
  • No talking
  • No texting
  • No “happy birthday” or “sorry about your loss” type of text

“But that’s not me. That’s not the type of person I am.”

people take advantage of this.

Trust me, if you’re a woman especially, people love having access to you. There is nothing a man loves more than asking to stay friends so he still has access to you as an insurance policy.

I see it all the time at work.

What ends up happening when you stay friends is they will either try something to get the assets from you (sex, attention, validaiton, etc) but never more OR they will try things with someone else and when it doesn’t work out, they come back to use you until something better comes along.

Not only that, but it’s difficult to get any real effect or result from no contact when you’re still friends. You’ll fail miserably at changing his mind if you still talk and text or act friendly.

5 Reasons Why You MUST Let Him Go To Get Him Back

If you want to know the best way to get a guy to realize he screwed up, you first have to let him go to get him back.

Let him go to get him back.

You fear letting him go because things are rocky, and he won’t return. What you don’t realize is you’re doing more harm than good.

It can be hard to let someone go completely. It feels like jumping off the highest building and building a plane on the way down. You don’t know the outcome and that scares you.

That’s understandable.

That’s why I wrote this article. I wanted to show you why you must let him go to get him back. We’re going to discuss:

  • What he’s thinking and why letting him go will trigger certain thoughts.
  • Why letting go is your best chance to keep him long-term.
  • How it benefits the overall situation, puts you in a better position for success, and raises your value.

If you’re interested, I have 9 guides I am giving away for FREE that go over dating, male psychology, maximizing attraction, finding Mr. Right, filtering men, and more. you can get that here.

Let’s jump in.

He Needs To Realize What He Lost

Let him go to get him back.

I tell my clients the following:

Without structure, there is chaos. Your fear of losing him is what got you here. You value him so much that you fear losing him. This causes you to lower your standards and then wonder why you’re in this situation.

Repeat after me:

For a man to regret, he has to reflect. For him to reflect, there has to be consequences.

A man cannot realize your worth, value, or lose you until you put him in the position to do so.

It is YOUR job to uphold the consequences of him wanting to take you for granted, pull back, and distance himself.

You sticking around just tells him there is no urgency in coming back because you’re always leaving the door open as if he’s some puppy that ran aways but already has a home.

Please read this article: Why Guys Never Commit To Hopeful Women.

The longer you stick around and the more chances you give him, the more likely he will use you as an insurance policy. He will have you as a backup until something better comes around.

You’re lowering your value by conditioning him to see you as having no value.

To Raise Your Value

Let him go to get him back.

If you don’t value your own time or respect yourself, why would he? You teach people how to treat you.

When I was on the receiving end, just like you listening to this advice, I hated it. It felt stupid because there was no way I didn’t value my own time or have any self-respect.

However, the longer I have been doing this, the more I realize that’s exactly what’s happening.

I really need to drill it into your head that the reason what’s happening to you isn’t a lack of attraction or because of a fight. It’s because he doesn’t value you.

There is nothing wrong with a man wanting to leave. Sometimes people are not compatible and relationships do not work out. However, if you’re talking to a guy who has one foot in, is inconsistent but still around, and has pulled this crap before, it’s due to value.

The only way to get value back is not to convince him to stay (dear God please tell me you’re not doing that). It’s to add structure to what’s going on.

Like I said, there is nothing wrong with a man not wanting a relationship. But a man is not allowed to treat you like a revolving door.

Your hopefulness is weakness. He loves taking advantage of it because it benefits him at your expense you.

Resetting Power Dynamics: Variables

Let him go to get him back.

This is to build off the first two points:

He’s doing what he’s doing because he feels he can get away with it and use you as an insurance policy. He thinks this because you have shown him “variables” that it’s okay.

These variables include:

  • Letting him back in before
  • You care more than he does
  • You’re making more effort than him
  • You like him more than he likes you
  • He doesn’t have to work for the assets

If this is the case, you have to reset the power dynamics. He’s too comfortable treating you the way he’s treating you because you showed him too many times that there is no risk.

I have a great article on Power Dynamics And How Women Can Get Men Obsessed With Them.

Reset The Dopamine-Chase Loop

Let him go to get him back.

Sometimes a man has to know what it’s like without you. If you made it so easy for him, he will never chase, even if you start pulling away.

That’s because you exhausted the “dopamine-chase loop.”

Men were designed to chase. If you make so he doesn’t have to, two things will happen:

  • He will take advantage of you and the fact.
  • He will use his resources and willpower elsewhere and chase someone else.

Yes, a man will do that, especially if he’s unsure about you. That doesn’t mean you always have to have a man chase. But there must be a time gap before you reward him for the loop to reset.

However, if you’re talking to a guy who took you for granted and pulled away, he doesn’t get the same feeling from chasing you that he once did.

There are four steps for the dopamine chase loop to work:

  • Desire: He has to have an initial craving for something.
  • Chase: He has to work for it and invest.
  • Reward: He gets it after the woman feels he’s earned it.
  • Time passes: he has to go without it to desire it again.

If your guy pulls away and wants him back, you must let him go. He must realize what it’s like without you to reflect on being an idiot lol.

Confrontation And Accountability

The best way to raise your value and get him to come back is to hold him accountable for his actions.

There is no accountability if a man comes and goes as he pleases. When there is no accountability, he’s going to cut corners.

Here is what happens:

Women always talk to men who court and invest heavily in the beginning, but as soon as the woman lets him in or is hooked, he eases up. He feels he doesn’t need to invest resources into something he already has. From there, he does it less and less. Then only when HE wants to, then he takes her for granted.

All because there was no accountability for what was going on.

While men hate confrontation and accountability, letting him go holds him accountable. It tells a man, “You made this decision, and that’s fine. But now you have to live with it.”

Ladies, understand that men only value what they invest in. The fact that he’s not held accountable for his actions and can come back simply because you miss him is crazy. He will do the same thing again.

5 Brutal Reasons Why Your Boyfriend Flirts With Other Women

When a client asks me, “Why does my boyfriend flirt with other women?” It’s always a complex situation that deserves a complex answer. 

There are many ways a man can do it. You can catch him on the phone, through text conversations, getting friendly with coworkers, or being overly generous with the attractive waitress.

You feel he doesn’t care and ask yourself, “Who is dumb enough to flirt with other women when you have a girlfriend?”

You’re not alone.

In this article, I am going to go over the following things:

  • What men are thinking when they flirt with other women.
  • Why men do it.
  • Why he’s so comfortable doing it to you despite you catching him.

Before we start, if you’re interested in getting my FREE 9 guides on EVERYTHING men, psychology, and dating, please check out the link here.

Your boyfriend flirts with other women because he needs different validation, he’s unsure about you, doesn’t value loyalty, is trying to fill a void, and knows you won’t do anything about it.

He Craves “Wide Lens” Validation

If your boyfriend is flirting with other girls, it’s because he seeks a lot of validation. Even if you’re an amazing girlfriend who gives him validation, it hits different getting it from multiple people.

The way I always explained this was the following:

Think of men going out and scanning for validation. Their “scanner” starts of wide. It’s set at a mode that says to get validation from the opposite sex. From there, he sets it to something with a little more precision. Something like, “get validation from women who are attractive.”

It doesn’t stop there. It keeps getting more focused and precise: “Get validation from women who I find attractive and who are attracted to me.”

You get the idea.

It eventually goes laser-focused: “Get validation from women who I find attractive, are attracted to me, want a relationship, and are part of my tribe.”

It should look like this if a man likes you, sees you long-term, wants your validation, and so on. However, if he’s flirting with other women, his scanner isn’t that narrow or focused and there can be reasons for that.

Check out my articles:

This leads us to the next thing on why he’s flirting with other women.

He’s Unsure About The Future

There is no reason for your boyfriend to flirt with other women if he’s:

  • Sees you long-term
  • Sure about you
  • Things are going well (in his mind)
  • You’re the best option he can get
  • He’s happy

If one of those things are off, he’s looking elsewhere. Here is what I know:

If a man truly values you and the relationship that much and he knows it bothers you that he’s flirting with other women, he is putting everything at risk when as a species, we are naturally risk-avoidant.

This means he doesn’t care about losing you, fear losing you (more on this), feel he can get better, or doesn’t value the relationship near as much.

Humans are programmed to look for the best option. Statistically, the odds that we find the “perfect person” are almost zero but I don’t mean your actual best probable partner. We are completely happy with someone we have grew very attached and fond of.

But if you’re talking to a guy who flirts with other women, I would start to question that bond you two have or at least, how he perceives it.

You may say, “Elliot, it’s not that serious. He’s not cheating-cheating. He’s just flirty. It’s his personality.”

And I have two things to say to that:

  • If he’s not cheating, what’s the issue?
  • If it’s his personality, again, what’s the issue?

What I am getting at is stop downplaying it and justifying that you have a boyfriend who flirts with other women. If it bothers you that’s enough. You need to voice your concern.

In fact, that’s part of the problem.

You Won’t Do Anything About It

While you may voice your concerns, you don’t do anything about it. That’s no different than a mother threatening to get off the couch and spank her kid if he keeps acting up but never gets off the couch.

He knows he can push your buttons without any consequences.

This ties everything together we talked about so far:

If he’s unsure about you and risk-averse, he will want to entertain other options without the cost of losing you. But if you show him you’re not going anywhere, what’s the risk of him entertaining others? It’s win/win for him.

While it is wrong what he’s doing, it doesn’t matter because he’s doing it anyway. He’s justifying it as being innocent or nothing is going to happen.

The woman who falls for this and voices her concern but shows no action will run into these problems.

I live by a powerful quote: “Without structure, there is chaos.” This is one of the strongest quotes ever because it can be applied to almost anything, but almost everything in the universe has structure.

if you’re talking to a guy who is unsure about you, feels it’s okay to flirt with other women, and you don’t check him, you’re just as much of the problem. He may be doing the wrong thing, but you’re enabling it.

It is time to cut that dude off:

He Doesn’t Value Loyalty And Trust

Some people are damaged. They can be good partners in some areas but horrible in others.

If you’re boyfriend likes to flirt with other women, he probably doesn’t value loyalty and trust. Instead, he justifies it.

He tells you:

1. “I’m just being friendly.”

Translation: He’s downplaying it to avoid accountability. Men hate confrontation and accountability. Don’t let him diguise flirting as kindness. There are plenty of ways to be kind and not flirt.

2. “It doesn’t mean anything.”

Translation: He wants to enjoy the ego boost without taking responsibility for how it affects you. If it doesn’t mean anything, why does he feel good doing it and why can’t he just give it up then?

3. “You’re overreacting.”

Translation: Classic gaslighting. Instead of addressing the behavior, he’s flipping the script. He’s out.

4. “I would never cheat on you.”

Translation: He’s giving you validation to continue his charades instead of just stopping.

5. “That’s just how I talk to people.”

Translation: He flirts habitually and doesn’t want to change. He’s not taking responsibility. He’s telling you to accept him for who he is.

6. “You know I love you.”

Translation: He’s trying to emotionally manipulate you into letting it slide.
Love is not a free pass to disrespect your boundaries.

7. “I didn’t even notice I was flirting.”

Translation: He may actually be unaware — but that’s why you’re telling him. If he continues, he knows what he’s doing.

8. “She started it.”

Translation: He’s deflecting responsibility.

9. “You’re the only one I want to be with.”

Translation: He wants reassurance without adjusting his behavior. He’s just feeding you validation again.

10. “I can’t help it if people like me.”

Translation: He’s enjoying the attention and pretending to be the passive, yet he still entertains it.

If a man constantly gives you these excuses, he will not change.

To Fill A Void

Some men flirt with multiple women because they’re trying to fill an emotional void. They couldn’t care less about having a relationship with the woman.

 Flirting gives them a quick ego boost when they feel insecure, lost, or not good enough.

There is some truth to the theory of large numbers:

The more women flirt with him, the more validation he gets. If he gets enough, it suppresses his insecurities because he has enough evidence that he’s desired.

This is also why men keep flirting when they know they shouldn’t. The value they get from it feels too good that it’s not worth giving up.

He may justify this with the fact that he knows he’s not going to cheat or leave you. He sees it as a way to fill a void you don’t understand.

That doesn’t mean he should do it but that’s why he does it.

You may ask, “Why can’t he get that from me?”

Several reasons:

  • You may not be giving it.
  • It’s nice to get it elsewhere. Getting from the same person constantly loses its spark.
  • As much as he may like you, you’re only one person, and while that’s enough, to an emotionally unavailable guy, it’s not.
  • Sometimes men feel that you’re being nice or supposed to say that. But when we get it from a “third-party,” it hits differently.

Either way, if you’re talking to a guy flirting with women, call it out and do something about it. If he can’t fix his problems, I’d find a new guy because it’s not going to change.

Why Do Guys Ignore You But Still Watch Your Stories?

If you have ever wondered why do guys ignore you but still watch your stories on Instagram, I will let you know what he’s thinking.

Humans love clarity. That’s why, when a guy ignores you but still watches your stories, you can be confused and want to seek out answers.

I understand the pain and frustration you’re going through. As much as it hurts, you’d rather a guy completely cut you off and stop with the mixed signals so you can move on.

In this article, I will give you the clarity he won’t give you. We will go over:

  • What he’s thinking.
  • Why is he doing what he’s doing.
  • And what will come of all this.

The reason he’s ignoring you but watching your stories is that he wants to keep tabs on you and keep you confused for his benefit. Other times, he swipes through stories, and you are in the mix. 

By the way, if you want him to see you as a high-value woman, please check out my FREE High-Value Guide by clicking here.

Let’s go over in detail what I mean by all this.

He Wants To Keep Tabs On You

This reason is probably the most complex because it sends the most mixed signals.

We’re talking about a guy ignoring you but still watching your stories.

Why though? Here is what I think:

It’s to ensure he didn’t make a mistake and still has access/control in some way to protect his ego.

He’s ignoring you for a reason, and there are many:

  • Playing games.
  • Doesn’t want a relationship.
  • You two are fighting.
  • You did no-contact or started it, and he’s following suit.
  • He doesn’t want to lead you on/you’re on different pages.
  • Ego/pride battle between you two.

There are many reasons why he may be pulling away or ignoring you. However, that doesn’t mean that was his best decision. He still may be wondering if it’s the best move. That’s why watching your stories gives him a hit of validation.

It is a way for him to gain insight on the consequences of his decisions without going back on them.

He can gain a lot of insight from your stories:

  • How are you doing with the whole ordeal.
  • Are you talking to anyone else?
  • What are you up to.

If you want to know why all this is crucial for him to know, I suggest you read this article:

Men want to make sure you feel the pain of him leaving while lowering the chances of him regretting leaving you. If he can keep tabs on what you’re up to but at the same time leave you confused about what he’s doing and why he’s doing it, he’s going to get the upper hand.

This leads me into my next point.

He Wants To Keep You Confused

I always say this powerful quote to my clients:

A confused woman is a hopeful woman.

If he’s ignoring you but watching your stories, you’re definitely going to get confused. When you’re confused, you want clarity and answers. This benefits him in several ways:

  • He may be the only one to give you that clarity. Or at least, you want it from him.
  • You’re wondering what the heck he’s doing.
  • If you’re feeling pain, him coming back can heal it (or you may think this).
  • Because you think this, you leave the door open for him so you can work things out.

I also tell my clients, “Hope is the anchor that keeps you at shore.”

If you’re confused, you may be hopeful. If you’re hopeful, you will have a harder time moving on, so you stick around. This benefits him.

It’s hard for a man to regret anything if he doesn’t have to reflect. He doens’t have to reflect if there are no consequences. There are no consequences if you do not do anything about it. That’s what he wants.

We’re risk-avoidant beings. I have no problem ignoring you if I know there is no consequence to my actions because there is no downside. I can’t regret if there is nothing to regret.

Confused women have a hard time moving on for this exact reason — that they don’t have “all the answers,” so they don’t want to regret making the wrong move.

I can’t tell you how many clients of my clients ask me:

  • When do you think he’s going to come back? Will he?
  • What’s he thinking right now?
  • Did I do anything wrong? What can I do differently next time?

Those are all the wrong questions. That’s why he can take his sweep time returning. There is no urgency because there is no threat in you leaving.

How does he know? Because he can still look at your stories. This tells him you’re not ready to let go. High-value women do not hold onto waste.

Most Of The Time, He’s Just Swiping

You’re not going to like this, but if you’re talking to a guy who is pulling back, you can tell he’s disengaging, and treating it casually, he’s probably just swiping and comes across your stories.

I always do this, where I am not looking for specific stories. I just came across them. Then I’d have her say, “Why are you looking at my stories? I see you.”

It was a complete accident. If you’re talking to a guy who has pulled away for a while, that’s exactly the reason here.

I will say something that may contradict everything I said up to this point. Not that what I said wasn’t true. But I feel the reasons are on two different sides of the spectrum:

He probably doesn’t care as much as you think. There is a reason he’s ignoring you. He doesn’t fear losing you or care to lose you. Any interaction you have with him after that is icing on the cake.

I really do want to give you the benefit of the doubt and say he cares.

Yes, he could be curious about what you’re doing, wanting to play games, and leave you confused for the benefit of controlling the situation and returning.

But you must ask yourself, “Why is he doing that? What’s the point?”

If you can’t find a good answer or the evidence doesn’t support your answer, then you’re just not being logical.

Because guess what? There is no point.

If a guy likes you, he won’t put himself in a position to lose you. That’s exactly what he’s doing here. You’re just too emotional to realize it.

For example, if he’s ignoring you but watching your stories, that’s cool and all but if he:

  • Hasn’t talked to you in awhile.
  • Talking to others.
  • Says he wants anything long-term.
  • Has done this before.
  • Doesn’t come back even though you’re begging.

Then it’s safe to assume he’s just looking at your stories as a byproduct to swiping through everyone’s stories.

There is no other reason. He’s just not sitting around justifying things. He’s not the one thinking, “I hope she doesn’t see me looking at her stories. I don’t want her thinking I am caving,” or anything like that.

I’d argue he cares so little that he doesn’t care what you think of him looking at your stories or not.

5 Surefire Reasons Why Your Boyfriend Doesn’t Want To Sleep With You

If you’re caught off guard and wondering, “Why doesn’t my boyfriend want to sleep with me,” you’re not alone. In this article, I will explain why men no longer want to sleep with their partners.

It’s alarming when you feel your partner pull away. The only worse thing is when your relationship lacks intimacy, which makes you feel undesirable.

You wonder what went wrong. Was it something you did? Can it be fixed? Does he love you anymore?

All these things can weigh down a relationship and keep it from progressing. When a man doesn’t want to sleep with you, alarms go off in your head.

Here is the thing:

The main reason men don’t want to sleep with their girlfriend anymore is often due to a drop in desire caused by several things, whether that’s not wanting a relationship, leading you on, someone else is in the picture, or overall stress.

If you’re interested in getting my free high-value guide where he sees you as a high-value woman to commit to, check it out here.

Let’s review the five main reasons to help you figure out the problem.

He Doesn’t Want To Lead You On

Why Doesn't My Boyfriend Want To Sleep With Me?

When a guy gets in his head and starts overthinking, he begins to pull back. The main reason he’s pulling back is that he’s unsure of you.

When men are unsure, they stop progressing and become idle in the relationship.

This means he stops:

  • Sleeping with you
  • Opening up
  • Courting you
  • Initiating
  • Future planning
  • Making effort
  • and so on.

The reason men do this is to avoid leading you on, which I know sounds weird, but let me explain:

Everything we do is a variable that creates context. Meaning if I am courting you, opening up, having sex, and having fun with you, you should assume things are okay. Men know this assumption and when they’re unsure about you, that’s what they’re trying to avoid.

Men don’t want you assuming things anymore because that pressures them to continue things when unsure.

If he’s unsure how to pull away and end it, how much harder do you think it will be if he went along with everything and then blindsided you with, “Hey I am not sure about this relationship?”

It’s harder for him to address the situation if you’re confused. No man wants to hear:

“You were having sex with me yesterday and telling me you love me, and now you’re confused?”

The main reason why your boyfriend doesn’t want to sleep with you is he doesn’t want to lead you on and put more pressure on himself if he breaks up with you.

His Libido Is Dropping Or Sex Is Bland

Why Doesn't My Boyfriend Want To Sleep With Me?

Let me give you some interesting stats:

  • In the 1980s, average total testosterone levels for men were often between 600–700 ng/dL.
  • Many studies show average levels closer to 400–500 ng/dL, sometimes even lower.
  • Today, 300–350 ng/dL levels are common for men in their 20s and 30s. Half of what it was back in the day.

This overall drop in libido has a huge effect on men pursuing women. However, I don’t think this is the main issue.

I feel sexual media overstimulate men whether that’s porn, social media vids, Only Fans, stuff they see on tv and so on.

When a man is consistently stimulated over time, he becomes desensitized to that thing and builds up a tolerance. This causes him to look for more graphic things to stimulate him again. Rinse and repeat.

Back in the 80s and 90s the biggest thing were Playboys and Tapes of porn you had to go by. That is nothing compared to what you see today and what is easily accessible.

If your boyfriend doesn’t want to sleep with you, it could be because he doesn’t get the same effect that he used to, whether that’s because it’s “normal” to him or doesn’t stimulate him anymore.

He’s looking for more, which leads us to the next thing.

Signs of low-libido being the problem are:

  • He lacks energy, drive, and motivation.
  • He has bad sleep, diet, and is sedentary.
  • Out of shape.
  • He’s getting older (starts to drop in our 30s).

He Doesn’t Want To Sleep With You, But Someone Else

Why Doesn't My Boyfriend Want To Sleep With Me?

If you’re wondering why your boyfriend doesn’t want to sleep with you, it could be a combination of the two previous points:

He could feel he’s leading you because he’s into someone else who stimulates him more.

I know that’s hard to hear, but that’s very common. If you and a guy have an amazing relationship where sex is the only issue and he’s not pulling away or anything, you’re probably okay.

However, if you feel he’s acting differently, pulling away, and disengaging, I will bet someone else is in the picture.

Something women don’t understand is for a HUGE majority of the time, men are always talking to a woman. That means if he’s not talking or pursuing you, he’s trying to talk to someone else. It’s in our nature.

Mother Nature didn’t design men to be monogamous. It doesn’t mean they can’t choose to be, but monogamy isn’t part of their default sexual strategy. Men can definitely be in a loyal relationship but if he’s pulling away from you.

You know this is the case when:

  • He changes out of nowhere.
  • The relationship overall may feel rocky.
  • He starts to gaslight you when you address the situation.
  • He’s pulling away in general.
  • He may be going out more or on his phone often.
  • He doesn’t initiate anything.

He Doesn’t Want To Sleep With You Because He’s Unhappy With Himself

Why Doesn't My Boyfriend Want To Sleep With Me?

The best organ in bed is indeed the brain. When we start overthinking, making assumptions, and being hard on ourselves, it’s hard to perform.

When we feel bad about ourselves, we get performance anxiety which kills erections. We start to think:

  • We can’t satisfy her.
  • She had better.
  • We’re not big enough.
  • I am not as experienced.
  • I am embarrassed.
  • I can’t get the previous disaster I had out of my head.

When a man is unhappy with himself and how he’s performing in bed, it’s logical for him to avoid what makes him more anxious and feeds the bad narrative he has in his head.

You know this is the case when:

  • He gives off vibes of being unhappy (mopey, unmotivated, lacks desire, no goals, self-blame, etc).
  • Other things are okay in the relationship, but when it comes to sex, he’s unenthusiastic about it.
  • He’s seeking validation from you and feels better when he gets validation.
  • Victimizes himself.

He Is Stressing Over Things In Life

Why Doesn't My Boyfriend Want To Sleep With Me?

Here is a fun fact: Men can’t get erections when they’re anxious or scared.

Sex is a luxury and is never put over survival. While a man’s life may not be in danger just for being anxious or scared, it still triggers the Fight-or-Flight response in us.

Stress kills a man’s mood. He may even be unable to get an erection.

Some like to use sex as a stress reliever. For others, if the stress is large enough, sleeping with you doesn’t even register to us.

There is a concept I call “Mental Stacks” where everyone has so many mental stacks, in this case, we have 100. Depending on how comfortable, familiar, and urgent task are, they take more or less mental stacks.

For example, if you’re trying to have a crucial call on the phone while driving to a place you have never been, your mental stacks will be extremely high. You’re going to focus a majority of them on those two tasks.

However, if you’re talking casually to a friend and going to a place you’ve been to a hundred times, those mental stacks will be low.

It’s no different with stress. For stress to be high, several things have to be true:

  • He have to care about the situation.
  • We have to care about the outcome.
  • We feel the outcome/situation affects us.

If this is all true, it will consume a large amount of his mental bandwidth, leaving little left to build attraction or even consider sleeping with you.

You know this is the case when:

  • He tells you he’s stress.
  • You look at his life and see where the stress comes from.

Can A Guy’s Feelings Change Overnight? A Scientific Explanation

Can a guy’s feelings change overnight if he genuinely likes you? I will give you the most in-depth explanation so you know exactly how he feels and what he’s thinking.

Can a guy's feelings change overnight?

What looks like sudden coldness is often the result of an emotional decision that’s been building for weeks — he just didn’t communicate it.

If you’re wondering what happened, you’re not alone. Things were going well, and suddenly, he’s pulling away, acting different, and telling you he’s unsure about the relationship.

Did his feelings change that quickly? What happened?

In this article, you’re going to learn:

  • Why did his feelings change in the first place?
  • How they changed.
  • A secret reason Why they change no one talks about.
  • If they can change that fast.
  • What he’s going to do next.

If you want my FREE high-value guide that helps women avoid these situations, please click the link here.

Let’s dive into what he’s thinking.

Yes, a guy’s feelings can change overnight. But that depends on many factors, including the reasons for the change, how long he’s been processing things, his goal with the change, and how much he liked you. But yes, a man’s feelings can change fast.

Why Did His Feelings Change In The First Place?

Can a guy's feelings change overnight?

A man’s feelings can change for a variety of reasons. However, it’s usually a “concoction” of things mixing together. These things include:

  • Blueprint Versus Reality Concept
  • Assets Versus Liabilities
  • Uncertainity (risk)

In this post, I thoroughly review all these things and explain why men don’t commit to you. But in a nutshell:

The concept of Blueprint versus Reality states that:

The futher our goal (blueprint) is from where we are in present time (reality), the more stress we feel and likely look for solutions.

In your case, you’re talking to a guy who:

  • Doesn’t see you long-term.
  • Lost attraction.
  • Doesn’t like how things turned out.
  • Doesn’t like where things are going.

If this is the case, it’s logical to look elsewhere for thing that can get us to our blueprint. If a guy’s feelings change overnight or extremely fast, he concludes that he doesn’t see you in his life down the road. To go further, the thing that caused him to change his feelings over night was a deep dive into what I call Assets Versus Liabilities.

Assets: The traits we want and desire in a partner. These traits include:

  • Attractiveness
  • Sex
  • Validation
  • Chemistry
  • Good communication
  • Nuturing
  • Same values
  • Same goals
  • Selflessness
  • And many other things.

Liabilities: These are the traits we do not want in a partner. These include:

  • Unattractive
  • Low libido/not having sex
  • Drama
  • Jealousy
  • Ego
  • Fights often
  • Gaslighting and bad communication
  • Plays games
  • Selfish
  • Tries to make you jealous
  • And many other things

Think of this as a list of pros and cons. Everyone has these and multiple of them. The best way I can explain it is to think of it as a bundle. Everyone comes with a bundle of pros and cons. It gets to the point with men where he asks himself, “Is it worth it anymore?”

These differences are what we call the cost.

If men aren’t willing to pay the cost, there is no reason to continue. It means the assets that he once desired are not worth it anymore. This means a man is uncertain about you and that doesn’t sound good when it comes to attraction. It tells him to look elsewhere.

The Real Reason His Feelings Changed Overnight

Can a guy's feelings change overnight

 

I discuss in this article here why men pull away/ghost when things are going well. It’s worth a read if this is happening to you. However, I want to get into the psychological barrier that happens when a man likes you but is emotionally unavailable.

I am willing to bet that your man’s feelings changed quickly, not because of the things I mentioned thus far, but because he got in his head due to overthinking and being emotionally unavailable to some extent.

Here is why I say that.

Emotionally unavailable men have this amazing way of courting you, acting as if nothing is wrong, and wanting a relationship until around the halfway point. Usually this is 4-6 weeks of dating. When they get to that point, they start to get in their head and freak out about a relationship.

But why now? Why not before?

Before the moment he freaked out, there was no context to freak out over. Context is what you two do and say that layers over time to create a serious vibe in the relationship. Context takes a while to build up. things that build context include:

  • Sex
  • Future planning
  • Consistency
  • Sleepovers
  • Meeting friends and family
  • Pace
  • Exclusive talk
  • Frequency of dates
  • How often you talk
  • And so on

The good news is you probably are/were talking to a guy who truly liked you. Everything was genuine and authentic. He meant what he said. As time goes on though, this stuff starts to get in his head. Emotional unavailability lies dormant in people who didn’t heal correctly from their past. They want what they have in front of them (you) but freak out when it gets real.

Can a guy's feelings change overnight

It gets to a point where he feels obligated to give you something because of how well and long things have been. This causes pressure and men begin to pull away. Trust me, this happens a lot more than you realize.

I am willing to bet if his feelings changed overnight or extremely fast, this is probably the reason. It’s a very common thing that happens with emotionally unavailable men.

His Feelings Changed. What’s Next?

Can A Guy's Feelings Change Overnight?

Unfortantely, he will set off on a journey to go discover what else is out there. I know this hurts to read and find out but let me tell you why he must do this.

You were talking to a guy who has this narrative in his head that he wants to break up. This narrative didn’t come out of nowhere. It came from what I call “evidence” or “variables.” These are little instances throughout the relationship that he gathered that helped him form and adapt a gameplan moving foward.

If he liked what he saw and it aligned with what he wanted, then great. If not, there is no reason for him to stick around. That means two things:

  • If you try to convince him to come back now, it will blow up in your face.
  • He has to see what it’s like with and without you to realize he messed up and keeping him from doing that will only worsen it.

This is the beginning of a man’s four-stage process:

can a guy's feelings change overnight

Stage One is what I call the Current Mood. He has the mindset to leave based on the realization that he’s unfulfilled with the current state of the relationship.

Stage Two is him Adapting to the choice of leaving. How can he know if he made the wrong decision unless he never goes out and lives it? He decided to leave for this very reason. To essentially find a solution. He must see what it’s like without you.

Stage Three is what I call the Reflection stage. He has now experienced life with and without you. This is the moment he’s going to do the most reflecting. We are problem-solving creatures who want to avoid risk. He needs to reflect to see if he made the right choice.

Stage Four is what I call the Regret stage. After reflecting, he has to conclude whether to stay or return to you. This entire process can take anywhere from 1-3 months. At most 6. Here is a video that dives into more detail on the topic:
