E656 Ask Nick - The Man I Want to Marry ...

Nick Viall
About this episode

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, we discuss the long-debated and all-important question, can men and women be friends? We debate if they should act differently towards women that are in relationships? And, is kissing on the cheek as a greeting acceptable if they’re not European? We dive into it all. We then get to our callers. 

Our first caller’s ex reaches out everytime his wife is pregnant, and she’s not sure why. She seeks our guidance on why he’s been reaching out during these pivotal moments, but we ask why she’s been responding. Our second caller is dating the man she wants to marry, but he just asked for a break. They recently got in a heated discussion over money, which resulted in him asking for a break, and she wants to know how to improve their communication so they can mend their relationship and get back together. Our final caller needs help asking out a guy she’s been talking to for six months. She’s scared of rejection, but tired of waiting for him to ask her out, so we help her craft a message. 

“Make him feel safe.”
