Hi everybody, welcome to the Women's Dating and Confidence podcast. My name is Amber, and today I want to talk to you about demanding more investment from the men that you date.

Before we get into the episode, I did want to make a request.

If you are one of the people who has been binging the episodes and getting a lot of value from it

and just really enjoying this podcast, I would love to see a review from you on iTunes.

I'm kind of a dork in that I check iTunes like every day

I'm curious how to turn the situation around and demand more investment.

This is such a great question, and I'm really grateful because it's clarifying based on something

that I already spoke about. So if you're new to this podcast, she's talking about the episode

called Is He Into You? Two Ways to Know for

sure. And in that episode, I give some questions in a general frame of reference for seeing

how invested a guy is in you. Because often women will misinterpret actions or behaviors from a guy to be an investment when, like to be a
