E695 Ask Nick - I'm Attractive, You're Just Drunk
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We're back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, Ali shares her near-death experience getting locked outside of the house at night, without a jacket, and in the snow… Then we get to our callers. Our first caller is getting mixed signals from one of his guy friends. "If I was gay, I'd be into you"... is he in the closet, or just very friendly? Our second caller met his girlfriend on Twitter, and is struggling with their 800 mile long-distance relationship. She said she was fine with him dating other people, but he's ready to commit to her. Our final caller has a boyfriend who struggles with alcohol, lashes out, and "doesn't always find her attractive." She doesn't know how to kick him out, because he lives in her house and can't afford the rent. "Embrace being the bad guy, but don't feel bad about it. Embrace standing up for yourself."

E692 Ask Nick - My Boyfriend Isn't Toxic Enough
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We're back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, we read an email from a listener whose boyfriend cheated on her with a stripper. He's done this with multiple girls, but is willing to 'work on himself.' What should she do? Then, we get to our callers… Our first caller isn't sure whether her long term boyfriend is the one. After almost 3 years and his push to move forward… she's no longer sure of the relationship. Our second caller's friend accused her boyfriend of using her for her car. Without defending himself, he broke up with her on facetime and said 'I'm not 100% going to be a boyfriend for you right now.' Our final caller's best friend confessed his love to her, right after she gave birth to her 3rd child. Her baby daddy is jealous of this friend, while she is intrigued by their chemistry. "You are simply not appreciating what you have with him."

E690 Ask Nick - Teachers Gone Wild / My Cheating Past
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We're back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, we read an email from a listener who plans to get married, but her future brother-in-law refuses to attend the ceremony because it's not in a church. Then, we get to our callers. Our first caller hasn't told her fiance that her last divorce was due to her own infidelity. She shares her guilt and is afraid he'll leave her after she breaks the news. Our second caller has her first crush on another girl… and she happens to be her coworker. She's dropped hints with little success and wants to know if she should make a move at their upcoming Christmas party. Our final caller has only been on 3 dates in 5 years. Is it her high standards, is it because she lives in a small town, or is it because she's a f*ck boy? "To connect with people, you have to be willing to get to know them. You have to be vulnerable with them, and hope that they'll be vulnerable with you. That's how you make a connection."
