"Sometimes it's not that two people aren't right for each other, it's more like the timing wasn't right."  (Jasmine V.) In this ASK ALEX Q & A episode, I team up with 3 other gentlemen and we take a trip down memory lane and discuss our experiences with relationships and dating in our late teens and early 20s. We also share what advice we would give to our younger selves about dating. In the main segment of the episode, we break down the topic of mixed signals in relationships. We explore the scenario of a man stating that he cares for, is attracted to, and sees a future with a woman, but believes the timing is not right. The question is, can a man truly feel this way and still not contact her? We discuss the possible reasons behind this behavior, from pride and lack of wisdom to simply not being ready for a relationship. We also suggest that it is important to be aware of mixed signals and to keep an open mind about the possibility of reconnecting in the future. Overall, this episode provides valuable insights and advice on how to navigate mixed signals and mixed feelings in relationships. Listen as we explore and discuss the nuances of this topic! #relationshipadvice #dating #timing --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/whatizhethinking/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/whatizhethinking/support
