The Viall Files

On today's episode of Ask Nick our first caller started "dating" someone she respected who was really well known in their industry but turned out not to be who she thought he was. Next, we speak with a single mom who stopped speaking with a guy because he was not ready to be serious. After a few months he contacts her because he is now ready to be committed to her but it doesn't necessarily work out the way she hoped. Third, we have a woman who received a snap from the guy she was dating that had a message saying he had another girlfriend; turns out the other girlfriend was putting him on blast. Sadly, she was not the only one as she dug into the story more and more. Last, we speak with a woman who wants the guy she is seeing to give up his dating apps but at the same time she is not ready to be his girlfriend. "Your ego is so much in control that it is silencing your gut and what you know to be right."

On today's episode of Ask Nick we start with a guy who wants to know how much effort is too much effort to put into a girl that he likes (hoping that Bachelor Nation's Ashley and Jared's story is more the rule than the exception.) Next, we speak with a woman who's swinging lifestyle with her husband has led her to a couple that is polyamorous and she finds herself with emotions attached where she did not expect them to be. Our third caller met someone randomly, started dating him, came to find out he is the step brother of a guy she used to date, and now doesn't know how to share this info with her new guy. Last, we speak to someone who is having problems with her girlfriends, and is fighting some jealously issues she has, wondering why her friends are leaving her out.

On today's episode of Ask Nick we start with a caller who is a virgin at 33 years old and, after experiencing trauma, is super cautious about dating. Nick helps her come to a realization about her fear of saying 'no' and how that is affecting her life. Next, we speak with someone who suffers from generalized anxiety disorder and her anxiety causes her to talk herself down in situations and makes it so she is unable to trust her instincts when it comes to dating. Our third caller just got married and her husband has 2 children with 2 different exes. She is finding it hard dealing with the emotions that comes with her new role was a step-mom and understanding the appropriate boundaries in the these relationships. Our last caller is dealing with the her first situationship; she tried to define the relationship with her guy thinking that he was going to be on the same page and, to her surprise, he was not. "That's a red flag if he gets weirded out by labels."

We chat about parenting, soccer mom-ing, getting married and having children later in life, and how dating can just suck sometimes. Nick and Molly are two friends catching up, and have a conversation about being grown ups and how what they have experienced in life got them to where they are today in relationships, career, and perspective, and how that will effect their futures in all of those areas.

It is Monday which means it is time for Ask Nick. On today's episode we start with someone who is dating someone who says they are in a relationship but does not want to fully commit because he still wants to hook up with other women. Our next caller was cheated on by her boyfriend after being accusatory toward her, and she wants to know what could she have paid attention to to see it coming. "It is messy" is the best way to describe our next call- and how she describes it herself. Lastly, we speak with someone who feels like the guy she has been speaking to on a dating app makes her feel like he has cooled off on her as soon as she started to get invested. "Tell yourself the truth, charming, confident, good looking doesn't mean great boyfriend."

Today on The Viall Files we have one of our favorite conversations with Sheila Kelley. Sheila is not only an actress you may know from shows like The Good Doctor, but also a Feminine Embodiment Leader. She is the Founder of S Factor which is featured in the Netflix documentary Strip Down, Rise Up. In the documentary and in her classes, Sheila helps women regain their erotic energy and become comfortable in their skin. S Factor is a practice that brings you home to your body, awakening confidence and sensuality, through movement and community with others looking for the same thing. Nick and Sheila talk about being comfortable with your sexuality, embracing your erotic energy, how women should start knowing their body, and letting your body move the way it was supposed to. In doing that you may find your purest sense of strength and self. "How about, lets dance on a pole and free our sexual desire."

On today's Ask Nick we start with a someone who is confused after getting a divorce and moving back in with her ex husband. He is saying all the right things but she is wondering if she is able to get over the resentment she feels from their unhealthy relationship. Next, a bestie writes in and her friend joins us to discuss her relationship. After hearing her friend talks about how she is not sure she wants to be with her boyfriend anymore- and definitely is not into having sex with him- she is stuck with her boyfriend wanting to try more and more and more and she, may just not love him anymore. Our third caller is accepting less than what she deserves from a guy that she wants to date, but she needs to remember what she wants and move forward in that direction. Last, we speak with someone who was on vacation with her boyfriend and some of his old friends when, while sitting next to her, he puts his hand on the leg of a girl that he used to date. She goes back and forth in her mind wondering if it is ok or not since he did it front of her. "It doesn't matter how good we are when we're good, it is how bad we are when we're bad."

We are joined by Christa Allen today to have a conversation about life and relationships. Most people know Christa from 13 Going On 30, or Revenge, and now from her strong Tik Tok game. Christa is about to turn 30 and we talk about her perspective on growing up with expectations versus the reality of reaching a certain age, questions that you should and should not ask on dates (and how they indicate what your future with that person could be,) if society is assigning value to people by using different metrics, jealously, and being in a relationship while maintaining friendships with the opposite sex. Nick and Christa really cover it all and share their experiences and lessons learned. "If you feel judged on a date, it usually means you're being judged."
