Summary

Yeah, I said it.

Have you ever been in love with someone who doesn't share your feelings You live in hope that one day they'll light up your phone with a text that says how much they can't live without you. Or, you fantasize that they'll leave their partner and run back into your arms. They'll say what a fool they've been and how much they need you by their side.

It's romantic, right?

Nope.

And this kind of "perpetual hope" can be so dangerous for your relationships that I feel I have to say something to anyone out there still waiting for a crush to change their mind.

Before you give your heart to someone who doesn't deserve it today, listen to this episode. It could save years of your life.

Hey guys, it's Matthew. Welcome back to the Love Life podcast. We've been trying to mix it

0:33.6

up lately and give you an assortment of different kinds of episodes. Something that we think can

0:38.0

help you, that's a little more bite-sized. So check this one out. This one is from the Archives.

Also don't forget, leave us a review on iTunes. We really appreciate it. All right, enjoy the episode.

I can't be attracted to someone who doesn't want me back. That's not attractive. That's masochism

1:01.6

right there. That's what it is. It's this weird thing we do to ourselves. Unrequited love,

1:06.5

unrequited love. Like it's a romantic thing. I love it, my love it, my love it. What's the problem?

1:11.2

He doesn't love me back. What the fuck is wrong with you? That's not love, that's worship. And

1:20.1

we've become attached to this idea of unrequited love because it somehow gives us a righteous cause

1:25.1

to chasing someone who treats us like shit. I am ruthless with ditching people that don't give

1:32.6

me energy. There are seven billion people on this planet. I have zero time for flakes, for people

1:39.3

that don't try very hard. I know so many women who they get a guy for an hour or a week,

1:44.4

or they get a guy for one night a week and then they're like, I just want to see him more.

1:47.9

But you don't understand, we have an amazing connection. We're great together. When we're together,

1:53.4

it's fireworks, chemistry, we have such a great time. That's a really dangerous thing to

2:04.0

2:10.4

I don't think relationships are easy, but the part where you say, I want to see you,

2:17.5

he says, yeah, I want to see you. That should be fucking easy. Relationships aren't always equal,

2:25.2

but they can't always be unequal in the same direction. He says he has no time,

2:29.9

but I see him doing all of these fun things. Well, guess what? That's what he's choosing to do with
