How to Tell If He Likes You, Why He Pulls Away & Decoding Mixed Signals

Does he actually like you? Why did he suddenly pull away? Why does he act interested but won't commit? And what are you supposed to do when his words and actions don't match? These are the questions that launched my career as a relationship writer back in 2009, and in this episode, I'm going back to my roots. I'm sharing the conversation that completely changed how I understood men and dating, and breaking down some of the biggest questions women have about male behavior. We'll talk about how to tell if a guy genuinely likes you (and why the little moments don't mean nearly as much as you think), why men pull away, why liking someone doesn't necessarily mean wanting a relationship, and what it actually means to be "easy to be with" without becoming a doormat. I'm also sharing a personal story about how my own fears and insecurities almost sabotaged my relationship with my now-husband, and why the stories we tell ourselves after a breakup can sometimes hurt us more than the breakup itself. The goal isn't to become an expert at decoding every little thing a man does. It's to understand what's happening so you can stop overthinking, stop taking everything personally, and make better decisions for yourself.
