In today’s Rewind episode, I talk about what might be the most insidious form of ghosting.

If someone ghosts you after a couple of tepid dates (which doesn’t feel good, don’t get me wrong) you can usually assume they just weren’t feeling the chemistry . . .

But what does it mean when someone pulls away after saying they want to be exclusive, or after texting constantly and telling you they want to see you all the time?

In this episode, I give you three reasons why someone might do this, what you should do when it happens, and the strange reason why they may choose to ghost but leave the door open. You can’t miss this topic!

Does absence really make the heart grow fonder . . . especially when the person you’re into seems to forget you exist when you’re not in the same room?

When you’re together, life couldn’t be better. You have off-the-charts chemistry, they’re totally focused on you, and your connection feels genuine.

The catch?

When you’re apart, you feel invisible as communication slows to a crawl and often drops off completely.

As a result of these mixed signals, you’re essentially living in two completely different realities, and you’d do anything to get some clarity. You might even ask yourself: “Should I try to invest in this relationship even more to show how serious I am? Or would it be better to mirror their behavior and go cold?”

In today’s Rewind episode, I walk you through what you must absolutely NOT DO in this hot and cold scenario . . . plus I give you two very specific text messages that can (finally!) get you out of this frustrating situation.

In this episode Matthew and Audrey sit down for a review of the last quarter of the year and dive into the hidden forces that shape our relationships with others and ourselves. 

They also discuss the perfectionism that keeps us from connection, overthinking texts, and the emotional blocks that hold us back in our relationships. Plus, they answer a listener's question on whether showing interest in someone inevitably drives them away, and how to strike the balance between authenticity and attraction.

Topics include:

• Why the fear of being "too much" makes us play small in dating and friendships

• The truth about why people pull away when we show interest—and how to handle it

• How perfectionism sabotages your communication and creates disconnection

• A simple but powerful quarterly reflection exercise to reset your year

• Why overthinking texts can ironically make you seem distant or cold

• The invisible difference between "connecting" and "protecting" modes in life

• How to be more warm, proactive, and magnetic in your communication

• What it really means to “create the culture” in your relationships

How do you know if someone’s really over their ex?

Sometimes you meet a person who ticks all your boxes, but they also haven’t 100% gotten over the heartbreak of their last relationship. Of course, the first questions you ask yourself are: “Is this a huge red flag? Does it mean they are emotionally unavailable? Should I walk away?”

This is a really important topic in today’s video, and my answer to this probably isn’t what you’d expect.

Give it a watch to find out the signs you can look out for to discern whether someone is truly a bad bet or if they have real potential.
