Summary

There are few things in life that hurt worse than loving someone who doesn’t love you back. It can make you question your own value: If someone I hold in such high esteem doesn’t think I’m worthy of a relationship with him, then something must really be wrong with me. In today’s LOVE Life, I’ll help you understand why this isn’t true, and we’ll take a look at some of the real reasons why it didn’t work out. I’ll also give you my best advice on what to do while your heart is healing and how to know for sure when the right person for you comes along.

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. I want to talk today about sensitive subject rejection and a particular type of

0:40.4

rejection. That's when we've gotten to know someone and maybe we've been dating them

0:46.8

for a little while. It doesn't mean we've been in a relationship with them, although you

to matter to us. When this person that we hold in higher steam rejects us, that can

1:16.5

right things because sometimes when you hold someone in higher steam, they'll say some

1:32.8

really sweet things to you when they say that. They'll tell you that you're an amazing

1:38.1

person and that they wish the same for you and that they've really enjoyed their time

1:43.8

with you. They'll say all of the right things. They won't have done anything wrong necessarily.

1:50.5

But you'll notice that none of the right things that they say make a big difference to the

1:56.2

pain that you feel because you still feel the reality of the fact that they decided they

2:01.4

didn't want you. There are a couple of things that I want you to remember about this type

2:06.5
