Feeling less attracted when women pull back?
Hi all,
I’m been dating a woman for the last 3-4 months. She’s pulling back, which I recognize. Don’t think I overpursued (maybe a tiny bit but course corrected and things have been great).
My problem is, with her and with other women I’ve dated, once the pull back happens, I start losing attraction. When they pull back, I’m aware of the pull back, but my mind kind of just treats the new space/distance as a sign of disinterest rather than her creating space for herself to process things. I mean, it’s not like they say why they’re creating space, so only time tells whether the reasoning is the former or latter. I for some reason always just assume the former, though. And by the time they come back, things just don’t feel the same to me. I’ve detached a little and feel less attracted than before. Don’t want that to happen with this girl but I already feel like that’s happening.
Does anyone else have experience with this or have advice?
Thanks
