253: “How Do I Get Him to Try Harder?”

MATTHEW HUSSEY
About this episode
Theresa says, “I feel like I’m his lowest priority”. Even though the guy she’s dating long-distance says all the right things, he is constantly busy and now she feels like an obligation to him rather than someone he’s excited to see. “He doesn’t want to lose me”, she says, “but he doesn’t want to try either”. In this episode, Matt and Audrey talk about how to handle this on-the-fence situation, when someone says they want to see you but isn’t able or truly willing to fulfil your needs, and whether you should date someone who is too busy to make you their priority right now.   -- ►► Transform Your Relationship with Life in 6 Magical Days...
