Why Men Go Silent (Even If They Like You)

It doesn't matter whether they are not that into you or just afraid of commitment. A guy with that much fear of commitment is still emotionally unavailable. It's not worth your time, ladies. A man worth having is not still holding all that baggage and expecting you to carry it.

Don't start a relationship if you are a chicken !!!! Don't fool people!!!!

Yes. Just happened. He’s going through some kind of crisis and is pulling away/shutting down after almost a year. NOW…I’m not reaching out. He’s gotta figure himself out and I do need to focus on me. Sad though 😢

Sometimes its used for emotionally abusive reasons and forms part of toxic cycles where silent treatments are one of the many tactics they use to control you.

The reason why a guy pulls back is irrelevant to me. If he doesn't have the emotional capacity to talk to me about what's on his mind, he is not for me to begin with. I have absolutely no interest in an unresponsive partner. And I won't ask someone who doesn't want to be with me to stay. If a man can't muster the courtesy or respect to make a clean break, then I am more than happy to let him walk. I'll thank him for our time together, wish him the best and go on with my life. It's funny though that these are often the same dudes that later try to boomerang back into my life, promising that they've grown and changed and things will be different this time. Somehow they are surprised, offended or even hurt when I'm not interested in the slightest. 😑 These blokes need to sort themselves out and leave me to be with the guy who actually chooses to love me right.

Move on, ladies. If he's not ready to commit, you need to leave him. He's still a child. He might promise to marry you one day, but don't waste your time.

Prior to silence, I observed he was lowering his efforts. After exchange of messages, he didnt respond.I allowed him to be silent for 6 days. I have to give him space. to reflect. He is now back to his sweetest version. Silence is okay. It's giving him the space he needs. Time for reflection

My ex did that a few times. It wasnt fear, he was just being an ass. Thats why I left.

Just don't care anymore.

That phone call led to a break up after 10 months of being bf/gf and dating. I chose love over uncertainty

There's the 3d way, - you leave, man starts to chase. No waiting, no asking, just leave.

Dang, my man. You just said a whole lot in a very short amount of time.

as the female, i do the same, its embarrassing as heck, its crazy too because when the guy does it, im like, he dont really like me, or wat did i do wrong...i needed to hear this, thank you...

I told a guy not to contact me anymore. He would text daily, thought the day. I just felt things wouldn't work out. We are in different states.

I am So Grateful that you brought in the Fear Factor, because it now makes some sense about something said to me Very Early in the relationship. "I think I'm falling in love with you," with a kind of twisted up expression. Now I see that it was probably a fear about these feelings. My shocked self answered "I need to get to know you, first." So far, months later, it's working....

The young men do the same. Ladies, just walk away. You're not a rehab centre for broken men. Therapists are available

Did you miss the part where you said, "he went silent". That's the problem. Has not returned phone call, text message or messenger 🙄 message. ARGH! 5 DAYS.... After a month of texting and talking daily...

And if he can’t answer you or ghosts you…then wish him all the best and go no contact. Move on, date others and focus on yourself. The right man who eventually get clarity on what they want. ❤

Sometimes they won’t even answer that phone call to explain tho

Either way, women are not a hospital for broken men.
