(Matt Monday): The “No Contact Rule” Explained
When a relationship with someone we had strong feelings for (or even loved) ends, we tend to get overwhelmed with emotions. Whether we were with them for a short period of time or in a long, committed relationship, these feelings are universal. They can come in the form of raw heartbreak, the feeling that we’ve lost control over our happiness, a paralyzing fear that they might move on, an overwhelming desperation to get them back, or simply the pain of missing someone who used to be a constant in our life. The trouble is, when heartbreak, control, fear, desperation, or pain are at the wheel, the desire to make ourselves feel better becomes insatiable and this will in turn start to dictate how we conduct ourselves. The solution? Setting yourself a goal. Perhaps you’ve heard of the “No Contact Rule” but don’t know exactly what it entails, or maybe it sounds a little too counterintuitive for how you feel right now, especially if you’re holding out hope that you could still get back together . . . Well, I’m here to tell you that’s not the case, and in this episode, I distill the best I’ve learned about breakups and the "No Contact Rule" into everything you need to know on the topic, including what you can say at different stages. --- Let's Create Magic in Your Life, Together.

(Rewind): Say This to Him Then Watch Him Melt
Has this ever happened to you? You’re on a first date... and... He’s charming, handsome, and you feel like you have chemistry… But at the end of the night… he doesn’t ask for a second date (nevermind a third or fourth). If this has happened to you (or keeps happening), you’re likely missing one of the two essential things that make him reach across the table and say: “I’d really like to see you again.” In this clip, I tell you EXACTLY what to say so that he’ll ask you out again (and again, and again)... (You might be surprised at how simple this is AND how often you’re skipping this step when you’re interacting with a guy you like, especially in the early stages of dating...) It’s genuinely crazy to me how obvious the phrase in this video is, how simple it would be for people to say, how many more second dates it would get them… and yet, they still aren’t doing it. I’m excited to read your thoughts in the comments. --- Let's Create Magic in Your Life, Together.

(Matt Monday): “Bad Texter” or Just Not That Into You?
Few things can match the heady exhilaration of dating someone and building momentum through regular texting and a sense of closeness. But what about when the texting on their end is . . . kind of slow and intermittent . . . where there are big gaps in your text exchanges that leave you feeling unsure as to where, exactly, you stand with that person? Feeling this way might even lead you to start analyzing their relationship with their phone the next time you’re with them, looking for clues as to whether their sporadic phone usage is consistent in their life or reserved just for you. At some point, they might’ve even shared a generic line with you like, “I’m so rubbish with my phone,” or “I’m really bad at replying to people!” But is this really true? In this week’s video, I not only answer these questions, but I dig into a really common mistake people make in this area. --- Let's Create Magic in Your Life, Together.

(Rewind): Toxic Codependency or Healthy Closeness? How to Tell the Difference
What should you look for BEFORE you even enter into a new relationship, to figure out if your attachment styles are compatible? Having a reliable and steady partner may not get as much attention as other “sexier” attributes, but it really is a beautiful thing. Knowing you can depend on someone romantically, physically, and emotionally can draw you even closer together—strengthening your growing bond. In this episode, Matt explains what it takes to avoid codependency and have the kind of healthy partnership that means you both flourish, instead of creating a scenario where you are excusing toxic behaviour. --- Let's Create Magic in Your Life, Together.

(Matt Monday): "He Ghosted Me But Still Watches My Social Media... WTF?"
What does it mean when someone you dated—a guy you still like even though things fizzled out—is still engaging with your social media. Maybe you went on a few dates, had a connection, and even got physical, but it didn’t quite go anywhere. Yet, strangely, he still seems to be keeping a watchful eye on what you get up to on social media. Immediately, the gears of your mind start turning as you analyze the timing and the meaning of each emoji he sends in response to the photo of your night out with your friends. In this week’s brand-new episode, Matt dives into the psychology behind his actions to reveal exactly what it means when someone likes your social posts (but doesn’t reach out in any other way) . . . . . . and most importantly, what you should do about it. --- Let's Create Magic in Your Life, Together.

162: Why "Single-Shaming" Is Dumb (And How To Resist It)
No matter how far we’ve come, there is still a stigma in society for people who choose to remain single for longer than the average person. And this leads to all kinds of judgment: you must be sad, you must want a partner, you must have a problem… Matt, Stephen, and Audrey discuss why “single-shaming” persists and how to avoid feeling the pressure from society in influencing your decisions about your romantic life. --- Let's Create Magic in Your Life, Together Join Me In-Person for the Return of The Matthew Hussey Retreat (May 30th - June 5th) → http://www.MHRetreat.com --- Follow Matt @thematthewhussey Follow Stephen @stephenhhussey --- Email us!

(Matt Monday): Why Did He Stop Chasing You?
In this episode, I share with you 3 mistakes we can fall into that have the potential to hurt desire. These 3 insights could mean the difference between piquing someone’s interest and a situation just fizzling out. Once you’re aware of them, they’re extremely easy to spot . . . so you won’t inadvertently end up “8-Miling” yourself.
