Summary
In this episode, I’m joined by world-renowned author, counselor, lecturer, and philosopher Rabbi Manis Friedman to discuss why people get married, what makes a marriage last, what intimacy really means, and what it means to be a husband or a wife. He explains why we shouldn’t date if we have no intentions of getting married within the next five years and why we need to be selfish when we date.

| 0:07.7 | Hey guys, it's Alana and welcome back for another episode of seeing other people. |
| 0:13.2 | Okay, so a few weeks ago, I reflected on things, you know, I said, I did a post, |
| 0:17.6 | 28 things I learned before I turned 28. |
| 0:19.9 | And some of these things have really been sticking with me. And I don't know if you guys saw the post or not, but in case you didn't, I want to share one that has really stuck out. And it's something that I, you know, I, since I wrote it down, I keep catching myself saying it to other people. And trust me, I'm not taking credit for this phrase, for this concept. I am not the inventor of it. |
| 0:38.3 | So just using that out there, that's obvious. |
| 0:40.3 | But in case anyone was concerned that I'm saying, this is mine, it's not. |
| 0:44.6 | This has really been, I think, impacting me and something that I've wanted to, you know, share. |
| 0:51.6 | And it's what somebody says about you, says more about them. And I think that |

| 1:16.9 | somebody says about you says more about them and i think it goes the same way with you know the opposite |
| 1:23.9 | what somebody doesn't say says more about them. And that's something I |
| 1:29.3 | think keeps coming up into play with people getting ghosted. It's like, it is fucking wild to me |
| 1:34.5 | that I still have to make content about ghosting. I still have to talk about ghosting. Like, |
| 1:37.3 | we all know at this point that ghosting sucks and that we don't like to be ghosted and we want |
| 1:41.4 | to abolish and ban and rid the world of ghosting |
| 1:45.4 | in the dating world forever. But people are still getting ghosted. People are still ghosting. |
| 1:49.5 | And I have a lot of you coming to me lately saying like, how do I not take this personally? Like, |
| 1:55.5 | how do I move on from somebody who ghosted me? Because there's no closure and I don't know what I did |
