When a guy says, “I’m building my brand so I can’t commit,” what he really means is, “I want to meet new people in a new city, and I don’t want to be your fiancé right now.” The truth is, if a man really wants to, career and love can go hand in hand. Michael is saying, “I love you,” but his actions are clearly saying that he wants to be “single” in California. “Ask April” always advises paying attention to a man’s actions, not his words.
