There comes a time in every relationship when one partner will start to wonder what’s going on.
They’ll ask themselves: “Is this going anywhere?” Are we just friends?” “Do they want to be exclusive?”
But according to one relationship expert, that’s a huge mistake.
Nick Viall, host of The Viall Files podcast and a three-time contestant in The Bachelor franchise, explained why asking to define your relationship is a big no-no to getting what you want.
On his podcast, Nick takes calls from people asking for relationship advice.
One caller said she asked her partner “where this was going,” and added she had been seeing this man for a month.
However, she didn’t want to keep asking him to define their relationship because it was “humiliating.”
Nick asked her why she felt humiliated and she replied: “Because I knew he was going to reject me,” to which Nick posed the question: “Reject you or reject what you wanted?”

He explained that when the caller asked where her relationship was going, that was her first mistake.
Rather than asking to define the relationship, she needs to be honest and flat-out say what she wants.
Nick said: “You say it confidently. That’s how you define the relationship.
“You don’t ask, you tell.”
Nick provided another nugget of wisdom in the comment section when someone asked: “Why do relationships need to be so complex… It feels like a game at this point – Trying to play your cards right instead of being genuine.”
“It’s because we are afraid to be genuine out of fear people will reject our most genuine self,” he replied.
Meanwhile, one relationship coach revealed two tips to help prevent your next heartbreak.
Additionally, another expert shared how she and her boyfriend prevent fights with one simple trick.
