Ellie Goulding and Skillrex Split – Why a Relationship Might Not Work Even If Boy Chases Girl

I was disappointed to read today that Ellie Goulding and Skillrex split after a year of dating. There was no explanation about what went wrong. All we were told is the stock response which is they couldn’t make their schedules work.

For readers who have followed my blog for some time, you might remember how I was excited about Ellie and Skillrex dating because he initiated the relationship. He emailed her and said he loved her work. He was also outspoken in the press about how much he loved her.

This brings me to my point. Women frequently ask how I can say the key to making a relationship last is having the man pursue you knowing there are couples who break-up even though the man died to have her. The answer is simple: Because the woman no longer wanted the relationship.

The benefit of playing hard-to-get with a man is that the woman has the right of refusal. The woman has the option to date, have a relationship, or marry a man. By not chasing him, she has more control in the relationship which places her on equal footing.

The bottom line is that playing hard-to-get ensures the man will pursue you. If he’s chasing you down for dates and a relationship, you can rest easy that he’s not interested in anyone else. What I can’t promise, though, is that you’ll always feel the same.

With Ellie, I think -- sadly -- she no longer wanted to date Skillrex. It was lovely that he pursued her and was so proud to have her as his girlfriend. But, it didn’t seem she felt the same.

Some of you might think that I shouldn’t pre-judge the situation and say for certain that Ellie left him. Yet, I watched their relationship. I didn't see any indication that she pursued Skillrex. Whenever I read stories about them, I never winced and thought, “oh, Ellie shouldn’t have done that.” I’m sure we’ll find out later why they split. My initial reaction, though, is she left him.

If this is true, I hope Ellie’s sure about her decision. I’d hate to think she let their relationship go because she was frustrated with the distance. Men like Skillrex are hard to find. True, there are a lot of men out there. But, a man who truly adores and admires you doesn’t come along every day.

Until next time…

Shine like Platinum!
