Get advice for a situation like this personalized to your specific dating situation by going to ASKMH.com (link in bio). ⭐️ Can you relate to this? You go on a couple of dates with someone, and even though you like them, you feel they're giving you “bare minimum texting”? There is something you can do in a situation like that and I explain it here in this video ☝️
Remember, if we want to create an extraordinary relationship, we need to choose a person who has the qualities, commitment, and desire to build one with us. Thank you,@Jay Shetty, for this beautiful conversation ❤️
What does “lacking intentionality in dating” look like and why is it so dangerous? Well, there are many ways someone can show they‘re not being intentional in their dating approach (watch the full clip for some examples). And the reason this is SO dangerous is because, if we‘re not careful and brave enough to ask the difficult questions (like where things are going), we can end up wasting an enormous amount of time in a situationship that ultimately doesn‘t align with our deeper needs and values.

We made this viral video in 2017, and when I’ve reflected on why it was so successful (4 million views!), I think a huge part of it was that: 1) People say and do REALLY confusing things that leave us lost and wondering what to do. 2) It fulfilled a fantasy of having someone “in your pocket” at all times, decoding everything that’s happening in front of you, and showing you what to do about it. It was a funny way of showing what it could be like if I were with you all the time, coaching you in your love life. I never in my wildest dreams thought it would one day actually be possible. That’s why when I got the chance to create Matthew AI, a brand-new technology that’s fully trained on only MY content and insights, and responsive to people in real time (in my actual voice!) I jumped at it. For the first time ever, I could actually have a way to be with everyone in my audience, 24/7. Imagine for a second that anytime you’re hurt, confused, or wondering what to say/do next, you can actually call or text me and ask! That means real-time answers to your biggest questions, personal coaching, and emotional support for whatever dating or relationship challenge you’re trying to solve right now . . . What could that do for your state of mind and your love life success? Head over to ASKMH.com (link in bio) and I’ll show you how you can be the first to try Matthew AI (for free) starting tomorrow. Have your biggest dating question ready. It’s almost here.
I have something really special to announce that I cannot WAIT for you to try (if you wanna sign up to know about it first, check out the link in my bio) . . . I also talk about it more in my latest YouTube video where this clip is from. It is the most excited I have been since announcing my book last year . . . and I can’t WAIT for you to try this. You’ll see why very soon . . . 😃
Have you ever found yourself in the “casual zone” with someone you’re dating . . . and it seems impossible to escape it? When it started, you were fine with them saying, “Let’s see how it goes,” but you soon found yourself stuck in limbo with all your friends asking if you were in a relationship . . . While there are many positive reasons to take things slow when dating someone, there are 4 specific scenarios where “just seeing where something goes” can lead to heartbreak. In today’s video, I walk you through each situation so you can figure out where you stand and move things forward. The sooner you watch this, the faster you’ll know if a relationship actually has potential. Tap the link in my bio or head over to MatthewHussey.com/blog to start watching!
So you like someone . . . but they’re really bad at texting. Or they ONLY want to text and you can’t get them to have a real conversation when you’re apart. Is there anything you can do to move things forward? In today’s video, I do something a little different. I break down a TikTok video where a woman gets increasingly frustrated with the “bare minimum” guy she’s dating as she reads through their texts. Then I share some different responses she could send to show more of her standards—to finally get out of texting limbo. Tap the link in my bio or head over to MatthewHussey.com/blog to watch it, and be sure to let me know your thoughts once you do!
Is it true that someone not messaging you for a while can be a sign they’re not interested? Yes. Is it also true that life is really nuanced, and whether or not you should write someone off is often situation-specific? Also yes. I’ve been doing this a long time, and there are myriad reasons why people drop off. When it’s only after a few dates—before someone has had the time to feel truly invested—it’s not always a red flag. Remember, texting someone isn’t chasing; texting someone and continuing to text them when they’re still not giving you what you need (and they’re showing little to no interest) is chasing. So don’t obsess over whether this one extra message was too much. Everything isn’t suddenly ruined because you sent one more text and it didn’t yield the result you were after. Dating requires frequent recalibration. Thank you, Audrey, you benevolent (slightly bossy) fairy for compelling me to give the people what they want! If you’d like to harness the power to compel me to answer your question, you will be able to do so starting tomorrow. Go to AskMHFirst.com (link in bio) to make sure you are one of the first people to ask your question tomorrow!
When we‘ve been through a lot of pain, it‘s natural to put up walls to try to protect ourselves from being hurt again. But sometimes, those walls keep love out too. If this is something you can relate to, and you want to start opening up to the possibility of love, my most-popular free Masterclass, “Dating With Results,” is a beautiful place to start.

I sat down with the powerful @Esther Perel last week. I have been a huge supporter of Esther’s work over the years, and it was a joy to sit down with her again and get her latest insights. We ended up talking for over 2 hours! Because of the length, we are breaking this into two separate episodes, and the first one just dropped today! What was really special about this interview was that Esther talked a lot about things I haven’t heard her talk about, like advice for early dating and her opinions on the best way to approach finding love in 2024 ❤️ Grab yourself a coffee and a comfy chair, and click the link in my bio to go and watch the full interview. Let me know what you thought in the comments, and thank you Esther for this incredible conversation!
Tired of endless texting back and forth and not knowing how to move to the next stage? Did someone send you a text you’re not sure how to respond to? Want to know how to communicate your standards in an elegant way? Matthew AI can create customized scripts for ANY dating situation you’re in right now. Go to AskMH.com (link in bio) and I’ll give you access to my brand-new tool that will let you get your burning questions answered in a matter of seconds. P.S. This piece of feedback (kept anonymous as it was sent to me in private) I received summed up how helpful this kind of support can be: “I have a newfound confidence mostly due to all your direct examples of how to handle certain situations (i.e. texting scripts and setting boundary scripts). I learn best from direct examples, so this has been invaluable knowledge to stockpile.” Head to AskMH.com (link in bio) and get a script for your situation!
Ever been dating someone who suddenly goes cold when they go on a trip out of town? What happened? And how should you respond to this behavior? Today’s video is all about what happens when we invest too soon, and how someone’s “radio silence” can trigger our insecurity. I even provide two text messages you can send: one for if they reach back out to you when they’re back in town, and one for when they don’t. BTW, don’t miss our HUGE announcement in this one (it’s right after Audrey’s cheeky cameo). ;) You’ll be one of the first people in the world to try this thing out . . . it’s crazy!
Thank you so much, @David Kessler, for joining us on my Retreat this month.

Why does dating feel so difficult today? It can often seem like it’s a competition to see who can be more “aloof,” who can care less, who can try the least. And when you put in actual effort, it can feel like it even turns people off! Everyone seems to be looking for someone “rare and special,” but there’s a right way and a wrong way to approach this. In today’s video, I explore the #1 way to approach dating, advice for texting, and small-but-effective ways to move things forward.
