Matthew Hussey here with Love, Life, Quick Question for You. Do you know the nine words

0:07.8

that you can text a man that will make you completely irresistible to him? No, I'm

0:12.7

not talking about sexting. This is much more intelligent because it allows you to keep

0:17.5

your standard and drive him crazy with desire at the same time. I think you can guess what

0:22.7

it is? I'll come back to this at the end of the show today, so make sure not to miss

0:27.0

a minute. So there's a situation that I think ruins a lot of early, new, romantic relationships.

0:42.5

I'm going to give you this scenario and I know you've probably been there before you can

1:35.8

with a friend of mine. She said to me, this guy that I'm dating and I really like, he got

1:40.9

really frustrated because I ended up telling a story and indirectly it referenced a guy

1:46.2

that I knew a few months ago. And I said, you know, it's his friend of mine and he said,

1:50.2

well, have you hooked up with him? And she said, yes. Now, she said, I was just being honest,

1:55.9

and I don't like lying. So I just said, yes. But ever since then, he's had this massive problem

2:01.4

with it. How do you get around this situation? Because it's tricky. You don't want to get into
