At the very beginning of a relationship, it is often difficult to understand how the other person feels about us. And this difficulty only increases when the potential partner ends up being emotionally unavailable.
Sometimes it takes months (and in some cases years) to realize that he just doesn't want a relationship.
To avoid wasting your (and other people's) time, learn about the signs that indicate emotional unavailability.
You rarely receive any attention
As a result, you are enthusiastic about even the smallest manifestations of affection, which in other circumstances you would not even attach any importance to. This is a consequence of emotional hunger. By the way, this situation even has its own name - "breadcrumbing".
This is a game of feelings, when a person from time to time shows minimal signs of attention - they are enough to keep you hooked, but not enough to satisfy your needs in a relationship.
Remember: if your partner is truly interested - in you and in the relationship - he will definitely give you more than one message in 7 days or a reaction in the form of a fire under your photo.
You are the initiator of communication
Moreover, you may notice that your attempts to improve the relationship quickly come to naught due to the monosyllabic answers of the interlocutor.
When we are attracted to someone, we easily find excuses for such behavior and are filled with the belief that it has nothing to do with us personally. In reality, everything is much simpler: if a person wants to communicate with you, he will do so.
You give up your plans for meetings
When a person is emotionally unavailable, it often seems as if he is very busy, because his offers to see you come spontaneously, without warning.
You have to change your plans on the fly, drop things and run to such meetings. Alternatively, you can adjust your own schedule to your partner's schedule, because you, logically, want to spend more time together.
However, such spontaneity is a cause for concern, as it may indicate that you are a “backup option.”
