E660 Ask Nick - I'm Dating A Married Man Oct 30, 2023

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 discuss the various intentions behind buying someone flowers, Nick's tattoo collection, and his new pup. We also read a submission from someone who's not sure whether to shoot his shot with his co-worker. We then get to our callers.

Our first caller has been dating a married man, and isn't sure how to stop. He hasn't asked his wife for a separation, and she isn't aware of the affair, but our caller is still holding out hope the relationship can make it. Our second caller might be overthinking her current situationship. She hasn't dated in a while, and recently moved to a new city, where she's been talking to someone, and can't tell whether she's holding onto the relationship because she's lonely, or if it's time to give it up. Our final caller recently moved in with her boyfriend and his newborn, and is struggling to make the relationship work. The mother of the child is making matters difficult for our caller, but her boyfriend doesn't seem to understand she's struggling as well.

"Your time is not infinite. You're either going to invest in him, or you're going to invest in yourself."

We gave her the advice of taking things slow and being more selfish in dating, and find out how her dating life has progressed since then.

We also have some written updates - Our caller whose best friend was cheating on her boyfriend, our caller who was wondering how to save his relationship after cheating, and our caller who needed help getting her husband to sign their divorce papers.

E656 Ask Nick - The Man I Want to Marry Asked for a Break Oct 23, 2023

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 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."

E653 Ask Nick with Eli Rallo - My Situationship Wants Me to Take His Virginity Oct 16, 2023

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. This week, we are joined by special guest Eli Rallo for relationship and dating advice. Before getting to our callers, Eli discusses her new book I Didn't Know I Needed This, which outlines the lifespan of a relationship. She also shares her two favorite dating tips. We then get to our callers.

Our first caller ran into an old friend at a wedding, and isn't sure if she was reading his cues right, and should try and ask him out. We help her craft a message to send to him. Our second caller's situationship/coworker asked her to take his virginity, and it went "horrifically." She has feelings for him, and is wondering how to remedy the awkward situation, and make her feelings known to him. Our final caller's girlfriend said "I love you" after only a few weeks of dating, and she didn't say it back. This is her first healthy relationship, so she's worried she won't be sure when she'll know she's there.

"We love that for you."
