E702 Ask Nick - Searching for My Father Feb 05, 2024

Show notes

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. We start off with a written Ask Nick, who matched with her current situationship on Hinge and is struggling to get him to commit. Then we get to our caller…

Our first caller is moving to a different city for her boyfriend's job, but is having cold feet. She's struggling to communicate with him about moving away from her family. Our second caller has never met her father and is wondering whether she should search for him. Her mother is willing to help, but has no interest engaging with him… so what is stopping her? Our final caller went on a date with a girl who's in a situationship. He thinks she's perfect, but is having troubles moving on in a small city.

"Keep not having expectations and remind yourself how far you've gotten without him."

E699 Ask Nick - Caught Cheating in 4k Jan 29, 2024

Show notes

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 start our new intro segment: Who's Home. Leah from the household shares her thoughts on cheating.

Our first caller caught her ex cheating on her through her security cameras and is having a hard time moving on. She's been cheated on before but liked this guy for his charming nature. Our second caller is having wedding troubles, as her fiance doesn't want her brother at their wedding. Her brother is a pastor and does not agree with her fiance's proposal before he was a Christian. Our final caller was seeing a guy who wouldn't text her back, but constantly posting on Snapchat. She's wondering if he merely lost interest, or if she did something wrong.

"When you do meet someone worth your time, you're gonna run the risk of pushing the good ones away, because you're so used to dealing with the bad ones"

Welcome back to The Viall Files! Today we have another special "where are they now" update show where we give you updates from our past callers to see what's happened in their situations and relationships since appearing on the show.

We advised her to focus on her kid and not get involved emotionally with the ex's new partner. Our second caller had first called in because he was long-distance dating a girl he met from twitter. They are now broken up… how did that happen and what is he doing now? Our third caller is our most EXCITING update yet. She had originally called in because of pregnancy struggles and planning a family with her husband. We gave the advice to try and not stress too much… and now she has two kids!

We also have some written updates - Our caller who was disinviting her friend from her wedding, our caller who wanted to set boundaries with her mom's relationships, and our caller who was debating having a fatherly figure walk her down the aisle.

E695 Ask Nick - I'm Attractive, You're Just Drunk Jan 22, 2024

Show notes

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, Ali shares her near-death experience getting locked outside of the house at night, without a jacket, and in the snow… Then we get to our callers.

Our first caller is getting mixed signals from one of his guy friends. "If I was gay, I'd be into you"... is he in the closet, or just very friendly? Our second caller met his girlfriend on Twitter, and is struggling with their 800 mile long-distance relationship. She said she was fine with him dating other people, but he's ready to commit to her. Our final caller has a boyfriend who struggles with alcohol, lashes out, and "doesn't always find her attractive." She doesn't know how to kick him out, because he lives in her house and can't afford the rent.

"Embrace being the bad guy, but don't feel bad about it. Embrace standing up for yourself."
