Understanding Conflict Avoidance in Dating: Red Flags to Watch For
The Situation
"She won't have difficult conversations and avoids conflict"
The Brutal Truth
Her avoidance of difficult conversations is a clear sign of emotional unavailability. It translates to a lack of willingness to engage, communicate, or grow in the relationship. This behavior indicates she's not ready for a healthy, intimate bond.
❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)
An anxious person might chase her, trying to initiate conversations to resolve issues, mistakenly believing that their effort will change her approach. This is misguided—her avoidance signals she isn't ready to engage, and your pursuit will only lead to more frustration for both parties.
