Dating advice that not even dating coaches follow — Breaking Thirty

I still remember the cold and rainy night in February 2016 where I took a deep breath, opened the YouTube app on my smartphone and typed “how do you know if a guy likes you?”. (Note that I always include the question mark when I’m typing a question, just for the sake of OCD). What appeared was a from a young cute guy with a sexy British accent (and Californian biceps) called Matthew Hussey. 

Needless to say, that video (and all the other ten I watched that night on that topic) didn’t help. I guess nobody wants to know whether their boyfriend likes them or not… because it’s their boyfriend! However, finding nothing on that matter clearly was still of help. Few months later, we broke up.

But Matthew Hussey sticked. What I liked (and still like) the most is how much Matthew is interested in girls and women having a fulfilling and great life in general, regardless of being or not in a relationship. After that night, I would binge-watch all his episodes on YouTube until I was sure I had caught up with all of them. I subscribed to his channel (sorry Matt, no bell, I just find it annoying!) and included watching his new video as part of my Sunday morning rituals. (FYI, Sunday morning ritual means me being locked in the bathroom watching YouTube videos.)
