The Viall Files

Today on Ask Nick we dive into the wild world of situationships. We start with our first caller who started dating a girl who moves cities every few months. After meeting again in another city, the caller wonders if there's a chance to reconnect and take the next step or if it's better to move on. Our next caller reflects on being the toxic one in a relationship and tries to get advice for better pathways to deal with issues in the future. After that, our caller talks about a positive date turned sour, when her date revealed while drunk, that he's been researching her. Now the caller wants to know if this is charming or creepy. Our last caller deals with their bad relationships with their mom and sister and asks how to reconnect with their family when things look dim. "You can't be your most authentic self and be liked by everyone."

Today on Ask Nick we dive into talking with a caller who is processing their feelings after breaking up with their girlfriend, hooking up with a toxic ex, and then realizing that they made a mistake. They ask for advice about the process of getting back together with someone after breaking up with them, and the path to healing. Our next caller asks for advice about their fiancé, who turns into a different person when drinking is involved. They ask how to deal with someone you love when they constantly blackout and become aggressive when alcohol is a factor. Then we talk to a caller who is navigating if it is appropriate to have sex on the first date, citing that their sex-positive nature and eagerness to have sex on the first date is turning men off from the idea of continuing to date our caller. Lastly, our caller attempts to figure out if they can turn a casual flirting situation into something more serious, or if someone that started out as passive and casual is doomed to stay that way forever. "Whether you're with her or you're not, you're going to wish you would have given her this much energy."
