Summary
Many people think commitment is only about timing, but readiness for a relationship is really shaped by feeling truly seen, understood, and safe...
In this conversation, Matthew and Audrey explore why so many people feel discouraged about commitment in modern dating. They unpack the belief that no one wants a real relationship anymore, what actually influences someone to become ready for commitment, and how the right dynamic can bring out a more authentic, relationship-ready version of someone.
If you’ve been wondering whether commitment is still possible, or how to tell the difference between real potential and wasted time, this episode will help you better understand what makes someone move from uncertainty to choosing a relationship.

| 0:00.0 | So I have a question for you. |
| 0:07.4 | You know, I think a rhetoric we hear often, which I actually happen to agree with, is when it comes |
| 0:17.0 | to men and commitment, it's all about timing. |
| 0:19.4 | You know, we talk about men having their light on and when their light goes on, they just |

| 0:35.1 | There's almost this kind of idea that like, oh, it's not about the people. |
| 0:39.3 | It's about just them being ready. And I find that to be very interesting because to me, |
| 0:47.1 | everything you're talking about isn't untrue. There is absolutely a huge contingent of people |

| 1:10.3 | I think from, again again just going back to |
| 1:12.5 | our love life community and all the women that we coach there is I think a huge sort of group of |
| 1:20.8 | men out there probably in their 20s but also in their 30s I would say who you know still are |
