0:00.0	I'm Matthew Hussey and this is Love Life. If you've ever felt like you didn't know the
0:07.3	right words to say to a man to create attraction and chemistry, then you can't afford to
0:12.9	miss what I have for you at the end of today's episode. Stay tuned because I'm going to
0:17.5	hand you five phrases that are so simple yet so powerful with men that you're going
0:22.6	to be furious at me for not giving this to you years ago.
0:27.2	Today we are talking about boyfriend hiatus, which I guess can be girlfriend hiatus as
0:33.1	well, but this question is from a lady. So let's answer it this way round. My girlfriend
0:37.7	is on a boyfriend hiatus and I want her back. She has a new boyfriend, but she's slowly
0:42.9	slipping into that boyfriend hiatus where all she does is work and hang out with her
0:46.8	boyfriend. I'm very happy for her, but I need to pull her out of this slippery slope
0:52.2	because I've been there. Firstly, I think women are much more confusing to other women

1:17.4	find a guy. They start spending all of their time with that guy. It's a really tough one.
1:23.2	When I hear women talking about this, I think, okay, firstly, even this question, it includes
1:27.5	a lot of eyes, right? I'm happy for her, but I need to pull her out of this slippery slope
1:33.7	because I've been there. This is really kind of me question and I wonder how much this
1:39.2	person is really talking about their friend being happy versus themselves being a little
1:44.0	bit lonely that they've now lost their friend. That's the way I look at it. It may be a little
1:49.2	harsh and the truth is sometimes we do see our friends going after someone or in a relationship
