When the man you love appears to be withdrawing, it’s natural to overthink, fret, and stress about what’s going on in your relationship.
Does he still love me? Does this imply he is seeing someone else? Is he losing interest? The truth is that he may be slipping away and losing interest in you and the relationship. But now is the time to save your connection and breathe through it rather than desperately trying to reclaim his attention.
According to psychology, there are three charming techniques to keep a man’s interest indefinitely:
1. Give him room
You could believe that by giving him his space, you would lose him. Trying to reclaim his attention and affection when he is withdrawing simply adds to the burden on both him and you. It also enhances the chance of putting more distance between you and him, potentially taking advantage of you.
During this moment, you will likely feel confused, hesitant, and desperate. Trying to reel him in under these conditions will not allow you to shine. If he has reservations about you, the desperation from trying to keep his interest reinforces them.
Be still and attentive to his movements while allowing him space. Don’t read too much into things since you can misread what’s going on, as research from Frontiers in Psychology demonstrates. Without pressure, his genuine objectives will be revealed through his actions.
He may have recognized how much he loves you; he may be afraid, overwhelmed, and trying to come to terms with it. It’s also possible that he’s considering leaving you, in which case things weren’t meant to be.
2. Focus on yourself
Your self-esteem may suffer. According to a Frontiers in Psychology article outlining the relationship between uncertainty and affect, if this occurs, work on increasing your self-worth reserve and becoming calm during times of doubt. Take care of things you’ve been putting off, try new things, and learn to be comfortable with ambiguity.
When you feel normal again (i.e., no feelings of desperation or negative energy), consider your relationship with him. Is he the right guy for you, or do you have any doubts? If you could create your ideal relationship, would what you have with him be genuinely wonderful?
Do you feel joyful most of the time when you think of him or are together? Or do the unhappy moments outnumber the happy ones? Be honest with yourself; you may discover that you are better off without him.
3. Allow him to come back to you
Allow him to return to you if you truly believe he is the appropriate person.
Be your best self and respond appropriately to his actions, according to a review of studies published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. When he meets the woman he fell for, it alleviates his doubts and may rekindle his desire. If he makes an effort, there is a greater desire for him to address the issues that prompted him to remove himself in the first place.
If you’re destined to be together, he’ll find his way back to you, and you won’t have to wonder how he feels.
Whatever you do, do not chase him. You should never have to pursue, persuade, or beg a guy to return to you. You are worth far more than that.
If he cannot recognize your worth on his own, he does not deserve to be with you.
