Can emotionally unavailable men fall in love – and if so, how do you recognize it?
And what does it even mean to be emotionally unavailable?
We have good news: yes, they can, and there are many surefire signs that he’s in love and trying to change his aloof ways!
1. he doesn’t look you in the eye
A man who wants your attention, a man who needs your attention, will try to get your full and undivided attention.
And he will look for ways to get that attention.
He will look deep into your eyes and let you feel his feelings. He will confess his feelings to you with ease.
He wants you to know how he feels and how much you mean to him.
If a man can’t look you in the eye and tell you how he feels, then he is emotionally unavailable.
That doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you,
It just means that he doesn’t want to talk about his feelings and that he will never tell you what you mean to him.
2. he reveals some details about his past
Emotionally unavailable men don’t like to talk about their past.
They simply don’t want to return to the past and relive their old wounds.
However, if he is in love with you, he will talk to you about his past.
He will feel the need to share with you something that has left a mark on his life.
Emotionally absent men must have experienced difficult times that have made them the people they are today.
3. he opens up and lets you in
We’ve already touched on this topic a bit.
Vulnerability is difficult for emotionally unavailable men.
They won’t easily tell you about their feelings and what they’ve been through.
Pay attention to his words and actions in conversations.
He may be trying to hint at something with his actions.
He may want you to ask him a question yourself so that he can open up to you.
If he makes a conscious effort to let you know what he thinks and tell you more about his personal life, likes, dislikes and hobbies – especially if he hasn’t done so before – it means he really cares about you and is trying to open up.
4. he remembers the little things
He pays attention to the little things, like your favorite dessert or the important date you have coming up.
Maybe he remembers your tasks much better than you do.
That’s how these men actually are.
He actively listens to what you say and makes an effort to remember them.
5. he appreciates your contribution
He’ll ask for your opinion and listen to it when he starts to trust you.
You will certainly have to be patient to gain his trust. But it really pays off in the end.
Emotionally inaccessible men usually only rely on themselves and may be extremely reluctant to trust others.
That’s why you shouldn’t pressure him to open up to you.
When he falls in love, he starts to see you as an irreplaceable part of his life – and therefore he will want to know your thoughts and include you in important decisions.
6. he makes you a priority
If a man is emotionally unavailable, he may not consider you or include you in his plans.
He’s not doing this consciously, it’s really not his intention at all.
But one of the signs that an emotionally unavailable man likes you is when he includes you in his plans.
He does this very subtly and in such a way that you can hardly tell.
This means that you are a priority in his life. He may avoid talking about his feelings because it makes him feel less of a man. However, he would take care of you in the best way he can.
7. he apologizes and sets the record straight
When he makes a mistake, he apologizes or makes amends instead of shirking responsibility.
He has no problem openly admitting his mistakes, which is not to be expected from an emotionally unavailable man.
It can be difficult for someone who is emotionally unavailable to admit mistakes or show vulnerability – so when he does, it’s a strong indicator of how much he values you.
