Summary

Popular dating advice has told us: if they wanted to, they would. They'd move mountains to be with us and if they can't, then they just aren't that into it. We're re-airing one of our best brunch talks where we’re discuss when someone says they can't do something / they aren't ready and what this means for you, why this saying isn't always so black and white, and how to use this information to help propel you forward in your love life.
